Mix: long descent

[kat_lair]

This is the first of my Mixtape Exchange fills, for pathera who wanted songs depicting the descent into darkness, from good to evil, from sanity to madness. Accordingly, I have picked songs that kind of... escalate in intensity.

 

long descent - zip at minus, includes songs and full size covers.


01. my shit's fucked up - warren zevon
well, i went to the doctor i said,
"i'm feeling kind of rough"
"let me break it to you, son
your shit's fucked up."

02. brave as a noun - andrew jackson jihad
i could go off the deep end
i could kill all my best friends
i could follow those stylish trends
but god knows I could make amends

03. apartment story - the national
we’ll stay inside til somebody finds us
do whatever the TV tells us
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days

04. quiet mind - blue october
still hearing voices from front,
from behind
they're the reasons I choose when to live,
how to die

05. bachelorette - björk
i'm a path of cinders
burning under your feet
you're the one who walks me
i'm your one way street

06. blue pail fever - woven hand
aided by want
among stranger people
o disgrace so soon i've come

07. handcuffs - brand new
it's hard to be the better man
when you forget you're trying
it's hard to be the better man
when you're still lying

08. digging in the dirt - peter gabriel
something in me, dark and sticky
all the time it's getting strong
no way of dealing with this feeling
can't go on like this too long

09. rattling locks - josh ritter
black hole, black hole, how can your two eyes be as empty as they look?
all along i thought i was giving you my love but you were just stealing it
now I want every single thing you took

10. first we take manhattan - leonard cohen
i'm guided by a signal in the heavens
i'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
i'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
first we take manhattan, then we take berlin

11. frontier psychiatrist - the avalanches
that boy needs therapy, psychosomatic
that boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
that boy needs therapy lie down on the couch,
what does that mean?
you're a nut! you're crazy in the coconut!

12. blood on my hands - the used
there's blood on my hands
like the blood in you
some things can't be treated
so don't make me don't make me
be myself around you

13. breath control - recoil
i saw him go pale. i saw him seize up,
i felt something creep up like a taste for this.
like a reward. a kind of love, a kind of lustmord.

It's true, listening to Blue October does make me descend into despair.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

lol yes, they're not the cheery happy music, try the other mix for that :D

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

Meh. MU tells me you are temporarily unavailable :(

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Seems to be working now, though I was gonna reupload it anyways cos there's was some issue with the tags (for some reason it was showing the same artist for every song, idek)

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

Meh. Can't download Petty Poison as well. Either it's MU or me that's just not working properly tonight.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... I did upload them while still logged onto your account, I don't know if that has anything to do with it?

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

Possibly. Also I maybe should try tomorrow when less drunk *G*

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Heh. You should also get your ass to IM :D

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

On my way. |Just posting on my LJ about my London.

I will so download both of your mixes, just to see what kind of music you're into, and how falling into despair feels for you.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty omnivorous when it comes to music as you'll probably see. Generally, I'm really lyric driven though because at the heart I'm all about the words. Hope you enjoy the mix!

[acosmistmachine.livejournal.com]

really interesting mix. I like it a lot.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Oh excellent, I'm really pleased. Thank you!

[planetkiller.livejournal.com]

Downloading! This looks awesome. :)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Coolness! Hope you like it!

[dragon-gypsy.livejournal.com]

Ooh I've been wanting some music that fits into the "descent into madness" category. Most excellent! Looking forward to listening~

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

How fortuitous then! This was an interesting one to make, hope it suits your needs.

:( Mixtape unavailable... "try again later". Will do.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Huh, seems to be loading ok for me. MU just being an arse.

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

Would you possibly be able to reupload this mix? It looks like it'd be a fun listen ...

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Link updated to minus, hope you enjoy :)

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks very much!
