.music: The apocalypse for beginners (Dean, Castiel)

[aesc]

Okay, so this is possibly the first fanmix I've ever done... Very likely with the exception of Robert Johnson and Chris Thomas, Dean would hate every song on here, but too bad. It's taken from music I listen to when trying to get ideas together for art and fics, and it occured to me that the lyrics of some of the songs might plot a nice trajectory from S3 through S4 and into a future where I imagine an ending that is not completely blood and pain. The final track is one of my favorites, but I kind of love everything on here.








Track Listing

Before
01. Cross Roads Blues | robert johnson
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well, in my distress

02. Lonesome Valley | fairfield four
You've got to go to the lonesome valley
And no one else can go with you


Hell
03. Drove through Ghosts to Get Here | 65 days of static

04. Dexter | daniel licht


On Earth
05. Headlights | dispatch
Moving out of shadow
We made some wrong moves along the way

06. Some Devil | dave matthews
Some angel is stuck inside of me
But I cannot set you free

07. Ball and Chain | big brother & the holding company
Something grabbed a hold of me
And it felt just like a ball and chain.

08. Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car | iron & wine
While with his gun the pagan angel rose to say
My love is one made to break every bended knee

09. Hard Time Killing Floor Blues | chris thomas
And the people are driftin' from door to door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go

10. Top of the World | dixie chicks
I wish it had been easier instead of any longer
I wish I could have stood where you would have been proud
That won't happen now, that won't happen now

11. A Change Is Gonna Come | the band
Just like this river I've been running ever since

12. Storm | jose gonzales
As soon as the storm is over
I promise to send out for you


And After
13. Ramshackle | beck
We will go
Nowhere we know
'Til we find our one and all

14. Guitar for Crossroads | eric clapton & buddy guy

In other news: I am super excited about my Sweet Charity stuff! There are Ideas starting to foment. On a vaguely related topic, No Parachute was nominated for this monthly award-thingy over at The Readers Have Spoken(?) and if you'd like, you can vote for it here. And, on a topic not at all related to any of the above, I should probably clean stuff today.

I finally had a chance to sit down and listen to this mix today and I wanted to let you know I thought it was fantastic; I especially appreciated the framing of the mix with Clapton. Nice touch!

Yay, thank you so much! When I was going through my library and pulling songs, I realized that a whole lot of them were either by Clapton or Johnson. "Malted Milk Blues" and "If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day" almost made it on.

(Also, because I have been completely ridiculous about emailing, I got all your stuff for SC, and I am turning over a few possible things :D :D There might be two different stories in this, but I'm not yet sure.)

If I had Possession Over Judgment Day is actually one of my favorite songs, so I can tell you, it wouldn't have been an addition that went wrong with me!

Don't worry about SC, because in about a week and a half when the end of semester crunch hits, I'll totally have forgot I even bid. Take your time and write something you think is fun. I'll enjoy it regardless! :D

I was thinking, I will probably now have to do a Supernatural blues mix. There's still some Clapton and Johnson, as you say, and I have a handful of other songs I think would be great :D
