Good Omens FST (first draft - I mean second)

[petronia]

Not complete, very roughly sequenced. I'm mostly posting it so I can stop thinking about it. A couple of the tracks will likely be swapped out and offered as bonuses. Or maybe I should give up the fight and just make a Crowley/Aziraphale OTP4EVR!!11one! companion disc, you crazy people. o_O

Much more... rock... than I thought it would be. Pretty relentlessly upbeat, though.

EDIT 10/15 -- Added more songs and resequenced. Over 90 minutes now, but if you insist on burning it to CD just take out the ones you like least or something.

Good Omens FST

01. Queen - Killer Queen
02. Steely Dan - Godwhacker
03. David Byrne - Like Humans Do
04. Hefner - Christian Girls
05. The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
06. Information Society - Can't Slow Down
07. Bis - Tell It To The Kids
08. Barenaked Ladies - It's All Been Done
09. Prozak For Lovers - (Don't Fear) The Reaper
10. Lemon Jelly - Nice Weather For Ducks
11. Erasure - Heavenly Action
12. Queen - Radio Ga-Ga
13. Kylie Minogue - I Should Be So Lucky
14. Mike Mareen - Don't Talk To The Snake
15. Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire
16. Machine Gun Fellatio - Mutha Fukka On A Motorcycle
17. Magazine - Shot By Both Sides
18. Queen - Made In Heaven
19. The Lucksmiths - Self-Preservation
20. Anita O'Day - A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
21. Eurythmics - There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)

...Most of these are blatantly self-evident really, even titles-wise. ^^; If not, google the lyrics. The Kylie and Queen tracks were quoted in the actual text (except for "Made In Heaven", which should've been). Hefner and the Lucksmiths are for Newt; Billy Joel is for the inside of Adam's head. Prozak for Lovers is because I couldn't see my way to sticking Blue Oyster Cult on a mix like this, so you get the ironic cover. I imagine it being played in that dreadfully upscale restaurant of Famine's. The Mike Mareen track I suspect I got off some other FST, mainly because I can't imagine why I'd own an Italo-disco number apparently sung by Satan otherwise.

EDIT -- Huh, that puts it over the edge to 1:20:13. Oh well. Find me a non-extended version of Kylie, I guess. ^^;

What you do with it is your business, but I figgered you should have it, and if I'd known you were so Erasure-deprived I'd have fixed that in the most recent music shipment. Maa, next time.

Most recent shipment has arrived, actually. <3 Choudo ii; I needed a Happy Mix to listen to this morning. It's rainy and grey outside.

The Erasure song is going in the mix, which by this point is targetting the double-album mark. (Everyone's "helpful" suggestions were C/A songs, and I came across a goodly bunch myself in my trawl through my Music folder. It's more modern (wo)man's propensity for turning everything into a love song than anything else, really.)

[canis-m.livejournal.com]

I owe you a tracklist, then. Will post.

Ahaha so glad to be of "help." (Hope you're not putting Aerosmith's "Angel" on it, though, because that's totally reserved for Kagetsuya/Chihaya--what?!) Certainly there's modern woman's propensity--guilty as charged--but, er, don't a high percentage of (pop) songs purport to be love songs, anyway? I could've sworn it wasn't only my quivery fangirl ears.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, modern humanity's propensity for writing pop songs that purport to be love songs was in fact what I meant. XD The song could start off being about anything, but a good 7 or 8 times out of 10 it ends up as, I dunno, some sort of clever metaphor re love. Or pimpin' h0s. I used to mind this fact when I was a teenager, because I found love songs vaguely embarrassing and impossible to relate to. Obviously I don't have much of a problem with it now, but every once in a while I'm specifically looking for songs about being - say - immortal and/or inhuman and/or wussily British, without any textual reference to Big Gay(?) Love necessarily. And then I find the task difficult.

But yanno, if the universe wants me to make everything out to be Big Gay Love, then the result can hardly be my fault.

XD this is hilarious. And it's even canon.

This just made my day. :)

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Oh, this is NICE. XDDD Thank youuuuuu. XD

Awesome. :D Thanks for sharing!

Downloaded, thanks!

This is wonderful! I listen to it when I'm going around the city. It's very funny to be walking round London thinking about the descending Apocalypse...a parody thereof is much funnier.

And of course, the music is so great. Takes me way back and provides a great setting. The Billy Joel is one of my all-time favorites since I was ten and had my own karaoke machine with minus-one tapes. Thank you!!!

haha your Newt clearly == ME.
