'Tis the season for using my Frank eating cats icon, folks! Just like last year, I've got a bunch of cool Christmas songs for you to download and enjoy. I've been listening to these and last year's picks (still available) non-stop while decorating my house, they're kind of all pretty fabulous. So download a few individual songs, download the whole zip, whatever you want. We've got your originals, your standards, your covers, your hymns. These were a bitch to upload for some reason, so let me know if any of them are messed up, particularly the zip file. Please right-click and save-as or else you'll destroy my bandwidth. Enjoy! Please comment if you download.

I don't know, folks, this kind of turned out to mostly be a Sisky-as-a-girl mix. Weird. I'm kind of on an Explorers Club kick - Freedom Wind is an awesome, beachy album - Voxtrot is always an excellent choice, as is Tilly & the Wall. Um, nothing heavy here. It's kind of fun to sing along to? Please comment if you download - enjoy!

“Siska,” Greta says, snapping him back into the present, into the stiff cloth of his jacket, the rocking of the carriage beneath his sturdy-booted feet. She reaches forward and pushes a stray curl behind his ear and he blinks back moisture at the corners of his eyes.

He doesn’t want to be a boy.

“I’ll love you no matter what, Siska,” Greta says.

Siska drops his gaze to his lap, avoiding the sheen of sadness in her eyes. He doesn’t want to be a boy, but he’s well aware now that he has to be one. “Adam.” He clears his throat, but he still can’t bring himself to look up. “Call me Adam.”

I'm terrible with languages. I suck at languages. I took four years of high school Spanish (granted, the text books were from the seventies, but I got awfully familiar with Lupe and Paco) and I aced four semesters of college conversational Italian - and I can basically order a beer. Maybe. That's actually pushing it. But ANYWAY, here's some songs that I have absolutely no idea what they're saying, but they're catchy and I like to sing along with them anyway.

I'm a ringtone making fool, mainly because a) I don't like paying the enormous fee for ringtones and b) I couldn't figure out how to actually buy ringtones, anyway, since there isn't an app for it on my blackberry. So! If you have a USB hookup with your phone, you can plug these babies in! they're all around 20 seconds or so, I'm going to go ahead and say if you want to play them on my website it's not going to completely kill me - of course, watch my site go down now.

New soundtrack! Finally! Okay, so, not much to say about this one except the first song? I've had on repeat in my car, because it's seriously hardcore awesome and totally fun. Um, other than that, I had to fit in a Slow Club, of course, and I recently downloaded everything I could from The Second Band, because I'm totally in love with them, and you've got a Films and a Lovedrug, both crazy awesome bands, and some random shit and just - I went for some high powered songs (mixed with some hand-clapping and harmonies because it's me), because Joe and Bob are both dudes right? Anyway, please comment if you download - enjoy!

Joe splutters as the water hits his face. “Motherfucker,” he says with a surprised laugh. He lunges for the hose again, but Bob’s quicker than he looks, and Joe’s completely drenched before he gives up, sagging against the garage door. “Yield, I fucking yield, dude,” he says, panting.

“Good,” Bob says, and then—

Then, somehow, Bob’s mouth ends up on top of Joe’s. Joe is, like, stunned, fucking flabbergasted, even, and also—also, he seems to be kissing Bob back. And gripping Bob’s shirt at his collarbones and hitching a leg up against Bob’s side and, like, licking into Bob’s mouth and really. Really.

( Christmas songs! )

As promised, and as fits a harlequin intrigue throw-back, this soundtrack is entirely made up of songs from 80s movies! This took much research, because I'm dedicated to the craft of fine soundtrack making. It's really kind of exciting. And extra long, because I had trouble picking and choosing, and even then I probably could have left on a hell of a lot more :) Please comment if you download - enjoy!

Spencer staggers sideways. “Motherfucker,” he shouts, and Brendon spares a wide-eyed holy crap, I did that moment before making a wild break for it.

He tries to dive past Spencer, but Spencer recovers quickly and catches him around his middle, still off-balance enough that they both crash into Sweet Beulah’s front bumper.

“Holy fuck,” Spencer says harshly. “You hit me with a fucking shovel.”

So I'm still trying to piece together a soundtrack for All In The Way That You Trip, but in the meantime! Have some tunes that remind me of Automatic Zombie Fall and Sam and Mary Beth and Anthony and Pear and Kit and Lissa and Eddie and Digger, etc :) We've got some fun songs here, a nice Silversun Pickups one and I seriously adore David & the Citizens, and then there's those ever-adorable gals of Those Dancing Days; I can't resist them! The Frug always reminds me of that scene in Troop Beverly Hills where they all do The Freddy. ALSO, Zombie Jamboree warning: the chorus? Will probably get in your head and never leave. I was singing it so much that J actually told me to shut the fuck up, even though he tacked a please on there. I was even bugging myself so I can't blame him. It's the whole "back to back, belly to belly, I don't give a damn, 'cause I'm done dead already" oh god, I can't even stop in written form, it's a disease. Listen at your own risk. (I kind of like to imagine AZF covering it, though). Comment if you download! Enjoy!

Plays Out Like A Drum |

Pear snuggles up to Sam in the back of the van and says, “I’m in love.”

Sam gives her the hairy eye. “Are you kidding me? You kicked him in the balls.”

“True love,” Pear says, and sighs happily.

“Are you still icing your boob?”

Pear gives her a vicious poke in the side, sharp nail digging through the thin material of her worn t-shirt. “Shut the fuck up and be happy for me.”

Sam shifts, wraps an arm around Pear’s shoulders, dragging her even closer, and says, “Okay.”

This might possibly be one of my favorite mixes yet. It's long, too, compared to the length of the actual fic :) We've got a Last Shadow Puppets (yes, that's the dude from Artic Monkeys), I'm completely IN LOVE with Ima Robot, Dear Gabby will get in your head and never leave (the beginning, with the claps *hands*), {{Sunset}} is gorgeous, Nada Surf does a fabulous Pixies cover. In my head Automatic Zombie Fall is, like, maybe a mixture of Tilly And The Wall and Wolf Parade. I don't think that makes sense, but whatever. Comment if you download - enjoy!

Kit looks a lot like his dad, except his hair has a tendency to curl. He’s got the same big brown eyes and easy smile, the Walker nose, height, and penchant for flip-flops in all sorts of weather.

This is what holiday weekends and writer's block gets you - more songs that you might catch me singing in the shower, the car, as I clean the bathroom, make the bed, etc. I seem to have a lot of covers. I like having familiar songs by different folks - it's fun! Anyway, each song is a separate link - please RIGHT-CLICK and SAVE-AS so you don't destroy my bandwidth! Even though the numbers only go up to 90, there is a grand total of 122 songs listed here; even more than last time! Let me know if any of the links are messed up. This was so tedious. You love me, right? Take a few, take them all, take none, just make fun of my song choices :) Please comment if you download any - enjoy!

[These songs are no longer available for download - thanks!]

( even more songs I think everyone should have on hand )

I normally don't put bandom songs on mixes because you all have every single song, I'm sure. But I wanted this to feature the bands that Beach Dog collaborated with, so I hope you download it anyway - particularly for the Joy Formidable songs, which are gorgeous.

“I’m saying we trash these songs—”

“All of them?” There’s a moment where Brendon thinks maybe Ryan’s going to cry, and then his face falls blank. “What the fuck.”

“We set them aside,” Brendon amends, then says slowly, “Pete wants us to put out a Beach Dog album. I want to put out a Beach Dog album.” He fucking loves Beach Dog. He loves the concept, the country-wide festivals, even though they’re few and far between and a bitch to schedule. But he’s kind of having the time of his life right now, with just the four of them. “And then I want to do whatever the hell it is we’re doing together.”

1. While The Flies - The Joy Formidable
2. Dress Up - Kiss Kiss
3. Give 'Em Hell, Kid - My Chemical Romance
4. Flames Go Higher - Eagles of Death Metal
5. One of Those Nights - The Cab
6. Dance Inside - All-American Rejects

This soundtrack is a little different. So, a couple things: I'm a huge fucking fangirl for Mike Doughty. I think he's completely awesome, and I've thought that since his Soul Coughing days. Although mainly that's because of his amazing voice, since his solo stuff is clearly superior - everything gets to me about him, and that usually doesn't happen with me and music. I love music, but I'm not, like, emotional about it. However, I am a hormonal teenage girl for Mike Doughty. When I put together a mix for a fic, I usually pile 20 to 25 songs into a playlist and then pare it down from there, but when I started this mix 3/4ths of the entire folder ended up being Mike Doughty songs, because everything about Jon being a unicorn makes me think of Mike Doughty, and now I can't listen to one of his songs without thinking about Jon being a unicorn. I've given you a few of these songs before, but bear with me here. This is probably going to be hit or miss for you guys; I hope you enjoy it anyway. He's alt-folk-rock. He's so awesome. Pick up his albums if you like him, they're all really good. Please comment if you download, and let me know what you think.

Jon can lie, but he doesn’t like to. It makes him sick to his stomach. It makes him feel too human sometimes, and Bill gets drunk and says, sprawled out on the lounge floor, arm careful inches from Jon’s, “You are human. You are, you are, look at your fucking face in the mirror, Jonny,” and Jon knows he’s trying to help, but Jon—Jon feels like he’s going to throw up all his insides.

Jon looks in the mirror and can see exactly who he is.

2. Your Misfortune - when your faith in life is gone / come and speak to me
3. Like a Luminous Girl - shining with the lights going strong
4. Busting Up a Starbucks - the only one that’s ever felt this is you
5. Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well - I sought to lose that cloud that’s blacking out the sun
6. I Wrote a Song About Your Car - all the days that I’m alive / I strive to understand, not / to be understood
7. The Only Answer - my name to you is just another word
8. Ways + Means - said just three honest words to you
9. Madeline and Nine - but I can give you the constellations / lay down here and we’ll count them all
10. I Just Want the Girl in the Blue Dress to Keep on Dancing - and I don’t care to count my chances
11. Unsingable Name - beware the thrum of hearts in your presence and / watch the breeze that snaps at you now
12. Fort Hood - you should still believe in an endless world

We've got an M83 (M83 is truly awesome folks), a Matches, a Midtown, a Tiger Tunes. I'm sort of all over the place with this, but I wanted it to have a teenage vibe, and then it kind of morphed into Frank's Halloween birthday bash dance party (Hadouken! will totally make you DANCE - you can even do the Molly Ringwald), and then I thought, what the hell, and threw in an Interpol song, so. It's a nice little fun mix! Comment if you download please - enjoy :)

“Spencer Smith!” Brendon comes bounding out of nowhere and tackles Spencer before he can even struggle upright. Brendon’s a senior, too, and he plays the trombone, and he’s decided to adopt Spencer – he’d said it just like that, too: “Spencer Smith, I’m adopting you,” and he’d lounged all over his lap during lunch break, like, two days into camp - and he’s possibly got more energy than Frank. Or maybe not more, exactly, just a different kind of energy. Brendon sings Disney songs and pretends to strip for the Butcher and wears tiny purple hoodies and jeans that barely cover his ass. Frank kicks Gerard in the balls and rides around on Bob’s back and calls Spencer a motherfucker at least five times a day.

I made a mix for bandombigbang! Here it is! The whole feel of icyanahita's story is very, um, weighty? Dark? Like you'd think a superhero AU would be all fun and games, but this was more about the things they couldn't do than what they could. If this was a movie, At Death, A Proclamation would be, like, as the credits are rolling maybe (god, I love the drums). And, okay, I kind of bookended it like that, because Ash is definitely a winding down sort of song, a fade to black. The whole soundtrack is a lot more metal-ish than usual. House of the Rising Sun has always been one of my favorite songs - I love the original, but I thought the Muse version was a little more fitting. I have a huge weakness for Disturbed - The Sickness is on my list of top 5 albums of all time, IDEK. I've always thought Bodies was slightly masterful. Voodoo is not nine minutes long (Audacity is useful for more than just podfic recording!) Disco Blackout - obviously a shout out to the Vegas side of events. Anyway, comment if you download!

Alex gives it a few days. He throws himself into his work and gives the best damn post mission physicals he can give, and he totally doesn’t think about Johnson at all. He maybe thinks about Cash a little, but that’s mainly because Cash is his best friend, and Cash is always in his face.

“It’s like, okay,” Alex says to Carson’s mice, slumped down on a stool, chin cupped into his hand. The mice are taking turns pushing each other off the little rodent wheel. “You know how you find your soul mate, only he’s straight and also an asshole?”

New soundtrack! Today you get a DOUBLE album, because I couldn't post music for The Magic Friend Band without giving you a sampling from Gerard's Dance Cave of Deep Despair!

Here we've got some fun fun sing-along songs, but you will not find a kids song among them. I was so tempted, let me tell you, but it was more fun to give you these. All these folks are super-awesome. I normally try not to repeat artists, but I couldn't help myself here, so you've got another Pete and the Pirates, another Format, another Murder Mystery, and another Jukebox The Ghost. But! Plenty of new stuff to go around. Turn up your iPod and SING.

And on the flip side, we have the dance mix you can hear through Gerard's office door when he's obsessing over Frank being totally creative!

Brendon hadn’t actually thought of himself as a busker at the time – even though that’s what his Wiki page claims - but he’d liked singing songs about colors and State capitals and he’d liked doing it outside on his tiny apartment balcony or on the equally tiny front stoop of the building, strumming his guitar or uke or banjo, and he’d never turned down an occasional coin or dollar. And then this short, roly-poly guy with the best lower lip ever just sort of stood there for an hour one day, watching him on the balcony and shouting up prompts and requests and then suggestions, like, “How about something minor key, but about mules eating daisies?” and, “Do you know anything about the accordion?” and Brendon had fallen helplessly in love.
