Strange Things [Supernatural]

  • Aug. 12th, 2010 at 12:04 PM
 

My favorite characters among all characters, are minor characters, the folks populating the background. If a name is mentioned, or some extra has even a sliver of character, I jump all over it. Supernatural does a pretty good job of world building, but the story follows Sam & Dean with LASER FOCUS. I wanted a mix that spoke to the experience of the average civilian in the season-5 world, as things are getting weirder and more dangerous, and it's becoming impossible to write off supernatural forces as the domain of crazies, religious nuts, and conspiracy theorists, and people learn to live in that new world. Pardon my shit cover, the Sacrament Lutheran Militia is pretty much my favorite thing ever.
 
The idea popped into my head when I discovered and fell in love with the song Strange Things. :) I forbid myself from using any music I could imagine coming out of Dean's car. Concrit and music recommendations welcome!

Song List:

1. There's Something In Your Attic - Ian Boddy
[Instrumental]

2. Strange Things - Abigail Washburn
I said there are strange things that happen erry day
There is one thing I do know, things are happenin' never happen before,
Strange things are happenin erry day.

Well, ships are sinking in the ocean,
Planes are havin collusion in the air,
People you may not believe it,
But there's somethin wrong somewhere.
No matter where you go you hear bout a thing y'never heard before,
Strange things are happenin erry day.
 
3. Adagio sotenuto, from "Moonlight" sonata - Beethoven, performed by Bela Fleck
[Instrumental]
 
4. Eye 4 an Eye - U.N.C.L.E.
Even now in Heaven, there were angels carrying savage weapons.
 
5. Murder in the Red Barn - Tom Waits
Now they surrounded the house
They smoke him out
They took him off in chains
The sky turned black and bruised
And we had months of heavy rains
Now the raven's nest in the rotted roof
Of Chenoweth's old place
And no one's asking Cal
About that scar upon his face
'Cause there's nothin' strange
About an axe with bloodstains in the barn
 
6. Tetrishead - Zoe Keating 
[Instrumental]
 
7. Eylash Turned Inwards - David Toop, Max Eastley
[Instrumental]
 
8. ~~ - Andrew Bird
[Instrumental]
 
9. Why We Build The Wall - Anais Mitchell, ft. Greg Brown
We have work and they have none
And our work is never done
My children
My children
And the war is never won
The wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That’s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
 
10. Its Only The End of the World - Black Box Recorder
It's only the end of the world
Not a death in the family
We've seen all the best sights, been on all the best rides
At the amusement park-on Saturday
We got tongue-tied, after all the best fights
Stuff that's too boring to trash, it's classless and crass
It's only the end of the world
 
11. Sheep Go To Heaven - Cake
I just want to play on my pan-pipes
I just want to drink me some wine
As soon as you're born you start dying
So you might as well have a good time
 
12. Strange And Beautiful - Aqualung
I'll put a spell on you, 
You'll fall asleep, 
I'll put a spell on you, 
And when I wake you, 
I'll be the first thing you see, 
And you'll realise that you love me. 
 
13. Tonight May Have To Last Me All My Life - The Avalanches
[Instrumental]
 
14. Christiansands - Tricky
I met a Christian in Christiansands, and a devil in Helsinki.
You and me, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
It means we'll manage.
Am I speaking your language?
 
15. Shadow Hunter - Lisa Gerrard
[Instrumental]

I assure you Castiel showing up on the north of that sigillum was completely unintentional... It's a version drawn by Will Peuckert, from his book Pansophia, courtesy of www.esotericarchives.com - Please, talk to me about theurgy, I want to pretend my B.A. is worth something :P

I'd love to listen to this fanmix - which looks absolutely amazing, and I'm a sucker for instrumentals - but the [link] bit seems to not be linking anywhere :(

Oh no! It's still up at Mediafire, apparently (I am new to things filesharey) so I must have failed at the codethings.

Here's the link! http://www.mediafire.com/?l1j0hcupykbsbbx

also, please tell me what you think of the instrumentals! I really didn't listen to music without lyrics, aside from a few things, until a friend shared a HUGE OMNIBUS of a fanmix, a song for every World of Warcraft zone/capital, all instrumental, which introduced me to awesome people like Zoe Keating.

Le squee! Thank you! And I'll be sure to pop back here and comment on the music once I've listened to it. (It's all new to me, so I'm pretty excited.)

So I've listened to the mix and the instrumental songs are wonderful! Cellos! They create such an eerie atmosphere. And the Adagio Sotenuto is absolutely beautiful. I really like the whole mix :D

I've been going through old tags lately and recently found this. I've been listening all day — this is so fantastically creepy all together. I love the atmosphere!!!
