we got all night

A fanmix to accompany gorgeousnerd's fic My Light is Electric.

( Aere Perennius )

Listen to the mix on 8tracks!

This mix came to me after "The Rapture" and I decided there should be a mix about Jimmy. Except then I decided to make it about Castiel and his fall... and his relationships with Jimmy and Dean. And then it evolved into songs about Castiel and Jimmy's relationships with other characters.

I'll be honest and say that this one started off as a thousand other Watchmen fanmixes I downloaded and then pieced together to fit all the characters. Then I realized I knew better songs for some of the characters, got really serious about it and then the playlist just sat on my iPod until it sounded right for each one.

The other night I couldn't sleep so I got around to finishing a bunch of fanmixes I've had sitting on my iPod forever. Mixes take me forever to do, because like everything else I do, I take them seriously.

In visual media news, I finally saw Brüno and Half-Blood Prince on Monday, but the real highlight of that day was discovering that they've renovated the cheap theatre in my neighborhood. There's actual stadium seating and new seats (the old ones were slashed open and lumpy from 20+ years of usage). The theatre still looks like it's from the '40s, which I always loved about it, but it's comfortable and actually worth the cheap prices now. I think the m15m post about HBP sums up my feelings pretty well, and as for Brüno, it could've been a bit more... opaque.

( Harper's Island )

I'm just about to start watching Leverage. I love Kane's music, even though I don't have a lot of it (three tracks?), but the minimum of his acting that I've seen has always been hysterically horrible to me. So I'm slightly concerned that he and Aldis Hodge are the main draws in this series for most of the fans, because I suspect it means the same thing as Harper's Island's popularity: It's a show with a bunch of people from Supernatural fandom! Which is a hypocritical thing for me to say, when I'll watch anything with someone from Firefly fandom (except Dollhouse). But I'm willing to give Leverage the benefit of the doubt, even if I wouldn't normally have given it a passing glance. Which says something, I imagine.

Are there fanmixes using the artist's own damn songs? I dunno, but since these two have such cryptic songs, they all kind of fit together. If only the chronology of the songs fit together. But who knows, maybe in Bandonia Gabilliam is the equivalent of Elizabeth Taylor.
