chibirhm: (The instrument of a flawless design.)
[personal profile] chibirhm
I don't even know, you guys. I was just listening to my iPod while shopping for Melly's Christmas present and all of a sudden my brain went "FANMIX! FANMIX! MAKE A HEROES FANMIX!" and I was like "What?!" and my brain WOULD NOT LET IT GO. So I went home and made this fanmix in under 24 hours. When it usually takes me MONTHS or YEARS to make one. And it's for a character I'm not even that obsessed with! I mean, yeah, I like Elle, but it's not like the same as when I see Hiro or Nathan or Noah and I start flailing even if they don't DO anything because I LOVE THEM SO HARD. Pretty much the only thing that differentiates Elle from everyone else on the show is how ridiculously pretty Kristen Bell is. And that doesn't even have anything to do with her character! But nevertheless I found myself all of yesterday churning this puppy out. I was going for a sort of creepy-grungy-rock-electronica-sexy sort of thing. I have no idea if I achieved it. But I do know it's fun to listen to and the lyrics fit, which is what matters.

But in conclusion, I repeat - I just don't know. The less I try to understand my creative process, the happier I end up being.



oo1. dirty laundry by bitter:sweet
i'm just a bad girl, that's why we get along
i won't make excuses for anything i'm doing wrong
i'll pull the trigger in a flash, so watch out honey, step back
(ooh) what's the use in playing it safe?
(ooh) wouldn't you rather misbehave my way?
oh baby, show me the money, my evil friend
let's go to mexico, drink margaritas, and sin
i'll light a candle for good luck
now come on baby let's...
(ooh) what's the fun in playing it safe?
(ooh) i think i'd rather misbehave our way
because we're simply mad, simply mad


oo2. electric bird by sia
someone plugged you in and sadly they clipped your wings
now you can't fly away, electric bird
yeah someone took your tweet, one day they fed you that bad seed
and you can't fly away, electric bird
well, you're art, you fell into this part
you play the victim perfectly holding your beating heart
you used to be so smart, you fluttered round the yard making your magic
we got to set you free, you were blinded by deceit
and you can't fly away, electric bird
so now this room's all staged while you’re stuck there in that cage
and you can't fly away, electric bird


oo3. sad sad city by ghostland observatory
been getting tired of my motor running,
i'm feeling overheated cause my life keeps coming,
my heart's been troubled by the speed of love
so i'm searching the streets for a soul committee
talking ideas on lust and pity
the fables i've found have no place at home
well i need you to want me, to haunt me, to tell me the truth
i said that i need you to want me, to haunt me, to tell me the truth
yeah, there ain't no party in a sad sad city
no there ain't no party in a sad sad city
so roll the dice, pay the price, dance with wolves in a pack of lies,
the blood we crave shall drive us all insane


oo4. take me out by franz ferdinand
so if you're lonely, you know i'm here waiting for you,
i'm just a crosshair, i'm just a shot away from you
and if you leave here, you leave me broken shattered alive
i'm just a crosshair, i'm just a shot and then we can die
i know i wont be leaving here with you
i say don't you know, you say you don't know
i say take me out
i say you don't show, don't move time is slow
i say take me out
i say you don't know, you say you don't go
i say take me out
i know i won't be leaving here
i know i won't be leaving here with you


oo5. rebellion (lies) by the arcade fire
people say that your dreams are the only things that save you
so come on baby, in our dreams we can live our misbehavior.
every time you close your eyes (lies, lies)
every time you close your eyes (lies, lies)
every time you close your eyes (lies, lies)
every time you close your eyes
people try and hide the night underneath the covers
people try and hide the light underneath the covers
come on, hide your lovers underneath the covers
come on, hide your lovers underneath the covers
we're hiding from your brothers underneath the covers
so come on, hide your lovers underneath the covers
and people say that you'll die faster than without water
but we know that's just a lie to scare your son and scare your daughter


oo6. seven nation army by the white stripes
i'm gonna fight them all, a seven nation army couldn't hold me back
they're gonna rip it off, taking their time right behind my back
and i'm talking to myself at night because i can't forget
back and forth through my mind behind a cigarette
and the message coming from my eyes says leave it alone
don't want to hear about it, cause every single one's got a story to tell
and everyone knows about it from the queen of england to the hounds of hell
and if i catch it coming back my way, i'm gonna serve it to you
and that ain't what you want to hear, but thats what i'll do
and the feeling coming from my bones says "find a home"
i'm going to wichita, far from this opera for evermore
i'm gonna work the straw, make the sweat drip out of every pore
and i'm bleeding, and i'm bleeding, and i'm bleeding right before the lord
all the words are gonna bleed from me and i will sing no more
and the stains coming from my blood tell me go back home


oo7. take your medicine - cloud cult
i bought myself a new look, something gave me another chance to see
each time, each time, i will try to do better
but by now, by now, is where i guess i belong
i pull my fist from my mouth, i beat myself for a quarter century
and remind, remind that it's bigger than me
i dissolve, dissolve into evergreens
these are things that i keep hidden in belly
and i can't see them but they control my life
for a moment you could see right through me, see right through me
so help me make this right
look at all those skeletons running from their closets
get them in the light
these are things that i keep hidden in belly
and i can't see them but they control my life
for a moment you could see right through me, see right through me
so help me make this right
look at all those skeletons running from their closets
get them in the light, get them in the light
you can take it in stride, or you can take it right between the eyes
suck up, suck up and take your medicine
it's a good day, it's a good day to face the hard things


oo8. hospital beds by cold war kids
there's nothing to do here some just whine and complain in bed in the hospital
coming and going asleep and awake in bed at the hospital
tell me the story of how you ended up here i've heard it all in the hospital
nothing's sufficing, the doctors on tour somewhere in india
i've got one friend laying across form me
i did not choose him he did not choose me
we've got no chance of recovery
but there's joy and hospital, joy and misery, joy and misery, joy and misery
put out the fire boys, don't stop, don't stop, put out the fire on us
put out the fire boys, don't stop, don't stop, put out the fire on us
bring the buckets by the dozens, bring your nieces and your cousins
come put out the fire on us


oo9. lonely moon by the cat empire
girl in the park one day killing all the bugs on the pavement
seems like she got a nasty streak, but she does it in a beautiful way
like a bullet from a gun, she sparks and then she runs
the only thing she's sure of is that no one really understands
sometimes, talking about things that just seem so strange
lie awake in the lonely night, people seem so strange
maybe it's all prearranged, tears on an empty page
look out the window see the full moon bloom and
this is what he says, baby
don't you worry when you feel so lonely, because everyone's lonely
they're all crazy too like their mothers, like their fathers
everyone's crazy under a lonely moon
sometimes she gets this way about her when she sways
she slips into a liquid tune and vanishes away
and it's only for herself, she can't bring anyone else
everyone's got a special box that they keep on a dusty shelf
such a beautiful dangerous thing, beautiful and strange


o1o. queer by garbage
hey boy, take a look at me, let me dirty up your mind
i'll strip away your hard veneer and see what I can find
the queerest of the queer, the strangest of the strange
the coldest of the cool, the lamest of the lame, the numbest of the dumb
i hate to see you here, you choke behind a smile
a fake behind the fear, the queerest of the queer
this is what he pays me for. so i'll show you how it's done
you learn to love the pain you feel, like father like son
the queerest of the queer, hide inside your head
the blindest of the blind, the deadest of the dead
you're hungry 'cause you starve while holding back the tears
choking on your smile, a fake behind the fear
the queerest of the queer
but i know what's good for you (you can touch me if you want)
i know you're dying to (you can touch me if you want)
i know what's good for you (you can touch me if you want)
but you can't stop


o11. bullet proof...i wish i was by radiohead
limb by limb and tooth by tooth, tearing up inside of me.
every day, every hour, i wish that i was bullet proof
wax me, mold me, heat the pins and stab them in.
you have turned me into this, i just wish that it was bullet proof
so pay me money and take a shot, use lead to fill the hole in me
i could burst a million bubbles, all surrogate,
and bullet proof (slow down, slow down, slow down)
bullet proof (slow down, slow down, slow down)


o12. clouds up by air

I don't even like or watch Heroes(I tried, I watched the first half of the first season as it aired last year, but while I can understand why others might like it, I just couldn't get into it) but I clicked on this because I knew it was about Kristen Bell's character(I was a big Veronica Mars fan)and I am glad I did! great mix and I feel as if I know what the character was like though I have only seen "her" in promos.

CAT EMPIRE = LOVE. Sorry, I get excited when other people have heard them :)

Fantastic mix, and I love the cover art.

This looks kind of fabulous. I'm feeling pretty indifferent about Heroes this season but Elle is intriguing, despite the fact that I was prepared to hate her from the get-go. You've picked some great tracks here and I'll definitely be snagging the ones I don't have. Also, the cover art? Gorgeous. I love the subtlety and muted colours.

As a Heros fan and a huge Veronica Mars fan, I am loving this. Downloading!

all of a sudden my brain went "FANMIX! FANMIX! MAKE A HEROES FANMIX!" and I was like "What?!" and my brain WOULD NOT LET IT GO.

Your brain and my brain are twins. Creativity never respects you or your time. DX

Very awesome song choices! Elle is such a great, complex character to explore; there are so many places to go with her. Any chance of a zip file? :)

Sounds like a cool mix and seeing how I loved VM and now love Heroes. I obviously had to love Elle. Thanks!

This is a fantastic mix! The art is absolutely gorgeous. My VM love made me like Elle even though (or perhaps because) she's evil and skanky. It definitely doesn't hurt that Kristen Bell is loveliness personified.
