Man, I spend a sort of ridiculous time on my fanmixes. I've been working on this one for months. Have to find songs that not only sound right to the subject for me, but also sound kind of okay together. There was one song, called "Angel-Land" where the lyrics started out something about how the singer isn't a Superman, and there was more about how it kind of sucks to be an angel or something (I don't remember the exacts), but anyway. The lyrics were great for a mix like this, but I didn't like the sound of it. So it's not on the list.

I have thirteen tracks now, about fifty minutes. They still need more work--I need to figure out how to equalize the volume, because I got these songs from a half dozen different places and the levels are all over the place. And I want to trim the applause from the end of the one live track. And I'll probably listen to it all the way through two or three more times to make sure I really, REALLY like how it sounds. Not to mention changing all the meta data and bundling the music and everything. I do this for every mix I make, even dinky ficmixes that will be only be downloaded by a dozen people.

But anyway. I wanted to at least share the titles, because I am so, so excited about and pleased by this mix. And even the titles are kind of cool. (No artists here, but rest assured that it is my usual mix of emo folk pop.)

Safe to Land
Fortunate Son
You Can't Save Everybody
Murder in the City
Fractured Air (Tornado Watch)
No, I Don't Remember
The Road That Leads to Heaven
Paradise
Helplessness Blues
To Darkness
Scar Tissue
Learn to Fly
The Long Fall

The title is Consign Me Not to Darkness, and [livejournal.com profile] the0neru is going to make art for me. ISN'T EVERYTHING SO AWESOME?
