Psych Fanmix: You Know That's Right!

[kat_lair]

This is my second Mixtape Exchange fill. This one is for pocky_slash who wanted a Psych mix of upbeat songs and silly hi-jinks. I was delighted that Gus&Shawn was something that pocky_slash gave as an optional focus of the mix and that's exactly what I have gone for here. Like Gus and Shawn's relationship in the show, the mix can be interpreted to portray either an awesome and loving BFFness or... something a bit more.

The mix is very much from Shawn's pov and there's a little bit of a chronological narrative so that the first few songs are more, well not angsty by no means, but perhaps a bit more cynical/sarky. But then Shawn settles into his new career and starts going steady rekindles his epic BFFship with Gus.

  

You Know That's Right! - zip at MU, includes songs and full size covers.




01. Trouble Is A Friend - Lenka
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!


02. I wanna be sedated - The Dust Bowl Cavalier
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o-oh I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain


03. Honor Among Thieves - These United States
You may now be wondering what my part in all this mess is
You prefer your puzzle pieces together, I think that's precious
But I may never tell, oh, or you may never know
See, I do not get dealt all the cards but I sense which ones to show


04. Famous - Scouting For Girls
We all want to be famous.
Be a face on the screen.
Read our name in the papers.
Everybody wants to be on TV.


05. You're Not In On The Joke - Cobra Starship
I only show you what I want you to see
I got my t-t-t-t-tongue in my cheek
If you see them laughing
Don't follow in
Cause they're the butt of my joke


06. Do It Again - Nada Surf
When I accelerate
I remember why it's good to be alive
Like a twenty-five cent game
Maybe this weight was a gift
Like I had to see what I could lift


07. Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia) - Patrick Stump
They might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like, you like, you like


08. In This City - Igly & Hartly
You came in to my life
You cannot separate yourself
And I found that round here
In this city
That I won't disappear
In this city


09. Mixin' Up Adjectives - This Is Me Smiling
Crossing a fine line
between you and me
Mixin' up adjectives
like jealous and sweet
Taking up all your time
for my security


10. Circuits - Antarctica Takes It!
Send me a signal 'cross my circuitry
There's little tiny lights blinking randomly
See the spark ignite with electricity
I know there's light inside of you and inside of me.


11. I Woke Up Today - Port O'Brien
I woke up today in a very simple way
In the morning all i could do was sing
I was thinking of things the blue ocean brings
the way it glows, the way it always knows


12. Sleepy Tigers - Xoxo, Panda
Oh I like you so very much so much in fact I gotta wake you up
It’s not that I have words to speak
I just wanna see you looking at me
In a way, that states
In an hour when the sun comes up
We’re gonna put on our shoes we’re gonna shake the dust
Open the door with your brand new key
We won’t be afraid of being sweet
to ourselves
Or anybody, anybody else


13. Stupidly Happy - XTC
I'm stupidly happy
My vision is skewed
I'm stupidly happy
I'm coming unscrewed


14. Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealers Wheel
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you


15. Me and My Shadow - Robbie Williams and Jonathan Wilkes
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
You'll never get rid of me


16. Worry About It Later - Brakes
Your card's on the table
and the cat's in the cradle
and your heart's been skipping like a jumping bean
brain's been waking in the sixth degrees
Your time's on the table
and you're young fit and able
and your love's been aching like an acorn tree
take a spin around oh one two three

NICE! There really is a shortage of awesome Gus&Shawn mixes in this world, so I'm very happy to see this. Snagging, with thanks. :D

\o/ There is a shortage of Gus&Shawn everything so I'm trying to correct that... Hope you like the mix, do let me know what you think if you have the time :)

Every time I hear "Stuck in the Middle With You," I think of Resevoir Dogs. It's perfect for Shawn & Gus, but that's exactly what I think of.

I'll be downloading this too, because I love Shawn & Gus and it's canon. (Even though I'm a Lassie/Shawn shipper, I recognize that.)

Heh, it's the same way as All Along The Watchtower will forever remind me of the cylon reveal in BSG.

Hee! I'm a sucker for BFF pairings so Shawn and Gus are my OTP even though I can see Shawn/Lassie as well. I'm also enamoured by Lassie/Juliet, because... well. BFF pairing.

I love Gus and Shawn. They are just meant to be together. Thanks for this awesome looking mix!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I do too! I'm such a sucker for BFF pairings and these two are so very married. The fix was great fun to make, I hope you enjoy it.

[dragon-gypsy.livejournal.com]

Haha omg this is perfect for them! Loving it and can't wait to listen!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you. I had lots of fun finding the songs and putting the mix together, hope it makes you smile to listen to it.
