Scratch Your Name: Fanmix 1

We’re Dancing Free (But Stuck Here Underground), a mix by sweetnovicane

I sort of felt like I got three pieces of art, because both my mixers provided stunning cover art for their fanmixes as well. Extraordinarily happy-making and surprising, that. This mix is long and great and satisfying, and the variety of genres on it made me most pleased. I mean, okay, there's MIA and Bruce Springsteen on the same mix, and god, there's so much wonderful here. I can’t even—I love this, I was listening to it while making my last revisions, because the energy of it all just captures the story so well. And there's Muse, and Pink, and the whole thing ends on the song that made me start listening to the Dresden Dolls. ♥ Also, would you look at the picture for the track list. Perfect, that.

I'm honestly flattered that you liked it so much. I'll admit that I was terribly last minute on it (My middle name should be Procrastination for how good I am at it) and I was worried that maybe the lyrics that made sense in my head in terms fitting with the story wouldn't necessarily make sense to you. I'm really glad it all worked out though. :D

And I knew I had to use some of Banksy's street art for the covers. ESPECIALLY that second one.

It's okay, I know all about procrastination. It turned out awesomely, I'd say. The two last songs in particular are so very apt, man. And the genre-hopping pleases me immensely (listening to my ipod is somewhat disjointed, one might say).

Yeah, that second one, I kept going back and looking at the track list and grinning, because damn, damn, damn.
