fanmix: kings [torchwood, captain jack/captain john]

[vanitashaze]

1. Graggh. I need to finish all these fic-fragments on my computer before it sizzles and dies (or I do). Must... summon... motivation...

2. The literary cycle is weird. I hated the Narnia books when I was younger (along with Tolkien and Twain and almost every other classic writer), but having recently re-watched Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, I want fic. Fic about a movie based on a book that I would never read.

Hmm.

...In any case, Caspian recs. Got any?

3. Warning: this fanmix really doesn't make sense, and is in no way consistant. (Which is sort of on par for my stuff.) But here it is regardless - because, come on. The boys need love too.






[Alphabeat] Fascination
Passion is our passion,
In the moonlight, on a joyride,
Easy rising,
Killed the young dudes
in the high boots. (oh yeah)
Fascination, fascination
It's just the way we feel
We love this exaltation
We want the new temptations
It's like a revelation
We live on fascination

[Garbage] Never Be Free
This is the place where dreams begin
I wait right here for you, my friend
I shiver underneath your skin
A brazen thief who walks right in
Oh, you can beat yourself up to the beat of a drum
You can drink 'til you drop, 'til you can't stand up
(And it tastes so sweet, it tastes so sweet)
You'll never forgive me, you'll never be free
You might as well kill me, you'll never be free

[Sneaker Pimps] Sick
I'm playing games with your sex, with your electric shocks
Learn to let myself loose and be the dummy in your snapshots
I'm playing games, learn to get on with your backward fans
...
I'm playing games, if you play I'm in the fast lane
Learn to jump into the road and learn to save a little lost face
And maybe then you wouldn't get so sick of me
And maybe then you wouldn't get so sick of me

[!!! (Chk Chk Chk)] There's No Fucking Rules, Dude
Ten stories high, staring down from Sears tower,
watchin' cars crawl, watchin' trucks crawl at snail's pace
It's rush hour all the people look like ants from this high
And the buildings look like anthills from the sky
Watch 'em shop in supermarkets, dating rituals in bars
So what, so what?
Your wont's and cant's, your wallflower stance just get down,
A species so advanced but we still look like ants

[The Bird & The Bee] Man
Don't take my word, I've lost my head
I need my bed, I promise you my bird
When I awake all sweet and sound, without a care or woe
I'll thank you dear, I'll kiss you love, no matter friend or foe
...
Oh oh oh, don't look
I've lost my way. I'll button up,
hold out my cup, and beg for a cliche
I have no rights to a complaint
I guess it's just a little nuts
We're all a bit insane
[Download]



[Smashing Pumpkins] Adore
You'll always be my whore,
'Cause you're the one that I adore
and I'll pull your crooked teeth,
You'll be perfect, just like me
In you I feel so dirty, in you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty, in you I taste God
We must never be apart

[The Orion Experience] The Cult of Dionysus
We'll start a secret society for the wild and free,
Our ideology is "you can do what you want,
too much is never enough".
We are the life, we are the light
we are the envy of the gods above...
I'm feeling devious, you're looking glamorous.
Let's get mischevious, and polyamorous.
Wine and women and wonderful vices -
Welcome to the cult of Dionysus!

[Imogen Heap] Hide and Seek (Strings Remix)
Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall,
Crop circles on the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.
When busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy.
...
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth,
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper cut-outs
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
[Download]



[Emiliana Torrini] Dead Things
You're like me, we're both alone
(What's the problem? I don't know)
...
I let the snow melt in my mouth
Until my head hurts, until I'm out
Makes me laugh a bit, makes me cry
...
Bad things, dead things
Sad things happen to happen
Sometimes
[Download]



[Shiny Toy Guns] Le Disko
Hello little boys, little toys
We're the dreams you're believing
Crawling up the walls, running down your face
Razor sharp, razor clean
Feel the weapon's sensation
on your back, with loaded guns
...
So what's it gonna take?
Silver shadow believer, spock rocker
With your dirty eyes
It's a chance, gonna move
Gonna fuck up your ego
Silly boy, gonna make you cry
[Download]


[Ladytron] The Last One Standing
You said I make, you said, you said I made
A bad decision, said I made a mistake
Fatal without the recognition
...
Closing the doors and I am running
Past video stores, and you are driving
A barrier stands between your hands and me,
Sorry
(You have got to be the last one standing
You have got to be the last one standing)

Ooh, the mix looks awesome. Even if I'm like the only person on the face of the planet who didn't love John. Looooove the cover art. :D

I also hated the Narnia books. Or, well, the one I read, anyway. XD But the movie Prince Caspian made me DESPERATE for good Edmund/Peter fic because I am going to hell so I may as well enjoy the ride, but have thus far been unable to find any. Woe. D:

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

I'd say my reaction to him wasn't OMGLOVE as much as ...whut?; I think most of my love not-dislike for him has come from sam_storyteller's AU series, The Rules of Torchwood Three: Nicolas Redux (http://sam-storyteller.livejournal.com/128150.html?mode=reply), which is all kinds of wonderful and amazing and a bit ridiculous, for me, because Nicolas is one of my favorite TW characters now and he's not even on the show. -.- Damn, why can't they hire some of us fans to write the episodes? The increase in Jack/Ianto makeouts aside, I'm sure it would end up much better.

I also hated the Narnia books. Or, well, the one I read, anyway. Annoying language and blatant Jesus-worshipping, that was annoying. But I think it was the illustrations of dancing badgers (on every. single. page.) that did it in for me.

Edmund/Peter, huh? The only one I can think of is airspaniel and cerebel's My Mirror, My Sword and Shield (http://community.livejournal.com/cerebel_fics/69017.html), which is kind of very Peter/Edmund/Caspian but still, quite excellent. (Though, really, of course it is. Their stuff is always good.)

[davechicken.livejournal.com]

Oh.... intriguing! Ganking!

Love the art, too!

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[topofthepiano.livejournal.com]

Fantastic. For real, thank you thank you.

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Ooh, two thank-yous!

[imsane-honest.livejournal.com]

Oo, looks shiny. Snagging zip. Many thanks!

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! :)

[undersea.livejournal.com]

Taking, thanks. It looks excellent.

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[streussal.livejournal.com]

Looks great, snagging!

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

:)

[pellnell.livejournal.com]

Ooh, how very awesome. The songs seem very fitting and love the art!

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

I think I laughed at your icon for a whole ten minutes.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_touched/]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MIX! ♥♥♥

Oops! Sorry CAPS!LOCK, but totally deserves it. 'Cause yes, pwns me!!! ;)

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

*preens* Deserving of CAPS!LOCK? I'm flattered.

[trepkos.livejournal.com]

Excellent!
There should be more of this sort of thing!

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

You know, you are so totally right.

COME ON WITH THE FANMIXES, PEOPLE!

[luthien13.livejournal.com]

Downloading, it looks excellent!

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[grea.livejournal.com]

I have very recently become an avid Dean/Seamus reader. I am completely obsessed and it's mostly due to your fics.

This is, of course, wonderful. I seriously can't wait for the next bit so hurry please! Haha.

Also, if you don't mind, do you have any Deamus recs? I'm itching for anything good that I can get my hands on.

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Um... hate to say it, but I don't think I'm the person you're looking for. I haven't written any Dean/Seamus, ever. (Therefore, I also have no recs.) Sorry!

[skypipe.livejournal.com]

looks great. I always love music from people I've never heard of before... taking it aaallll. XD

I've read most of the Narnia books although I don't remember too many of them. I didn't mind them really. Definitely not my favorites though.

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they must have been someone's favorites... I just can't find this hypothetical person. (Perhaps I should have been asking 40 years ago?)

[notethesarcasm.livejournal.com]

this looks absolutely FANTASTIC. downloading, and thank you :D

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[metatarsus.livejournal.com]

GORGEOUS! <3 <3 Snagging the few songs I don't already have (Ladytron = FTW)

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Ladytron = FTW.

Agreed!

[secondhandworld.livejournal.com]

This is such a great mix! It describes their relationship so perfectly :)

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you!

[sharkeynotkatie.livejournal.com]

*is happy* You win at life for this mix! For some odd reason it all seems to fit without being generally cohesive. Also, completely agree on the Narnia point. Hate those books so much I took highlighters to my jumbo copy. Gotta love the movie fic though, so much better. And because you mentioned it, I need to go find some now.

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

For some odd reason it all seems to fit without being generally cohesive. Glad you think so. I'm so musically ADHD; cohesiveness is not my strong suit.

*is pleased to have started someone's fic-search*

[ayuamarca.livejournal.com]

Am downloading the !!! song. :)

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, the Cuddy-striptease song. Have fun with it!

[ciley.livejournal.com]

this won't download for me..or it will but at the end it says 'cannot copy file. cannot read from source file or disk' or something really, really similar...and I've tried it twice :(


maybe I'll try it a third time later D:

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Are you trying the .zip file, or the individual song links?

[ciley.livejournal.com]

the zip :)

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Did you try the individuals?

[ciley.livejournal.com]

I didn't but I will...it might be in the morning though :)

[gracefulfool.livejournal.com]

I stumbled in looking for the lyrics to the !!! song, but this looks like a great mix, so I thought I'd grab the zip of the whole thing - thanks for sharing it! :)

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, thanks! (And if you're still having trouble finding the lyrics (http://www.justsomelyrics.com/153466/!!!-There's-No-Fucking-Rules,-Dude-Lyrics)...)

[hawkelf.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, thanks for sharing. I'm one of those insane John RPers. I couldn't do it without music, I don't think.

[familiardevil.livejournal.com]

Uck this is a million years late but I would love you forever if you could reupload The Cult of Dionysus. If not, awesome mix either way!
