bliumchik | Mix: Volcanic (Ladies Big Bang complement for rustydragonfly)

Today, in lieu of deciding between a 21st, some sort of club thing, a Magic draft and my nebulous Wicked Lottery plans, I have opted to sit in my room and fail to get things done. Well done Maggie!

On the bright side, I get to show off my leet photoshop and music association skills?

This mix is for a story called This Land Of Steel by

rustydragonfly, which you can now reas at

ladiesbigbang I've only been able to read a draft so far, but it was pretty good! So anyway have some music to go with it :)

Stream at 8tracks if the embed doesn't work, or download the files here.

1. Amon Tobin - Back From Space. Does what it says on the tin :P

2. Portal - Still Alive. I couldn't resist :P it really hasn't got much to do with the fic but CAKE

Anyway this cake is great!
It's so delicious and moist!
Look at me: still talking
when there's science to do!

3. Chris Garneau - Fireflies. Partly for the swarm-person, with a little debugging (ha!) thrown in.

You're making friends with the fireflies
I can't say that this comes as a surprise
But the things they say are not what they seem
So you've been called to tell us what they mean

4. Winter Took His Life - Something’s Falling Apart. Of course when debugging involves human-computer interface...

I can't see you, please come closer
You're the missing part.
I can't reach you, please come closer
Only you can heal my heart.

5. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Phenomena. Things are happening that should not be happening...

You're something like a phenomena
Something like an astronomer

6. Regina Spektor - Machine. You live in the future!

And I count all my blessings, I have friends in high places
And I'm upgraded daily, all my wires without traces
Hooked into machine, hooked into machine

7. Janelle Monae - Violet Stars Happy Hunting!!! Aaaand the computer is HELLA paranoid.

They've come to destroy me
They've come to destroy me!

8. Radiohead - Scatterbrain. I suppose this is a known hazard for hive-minds.

lightning fuse
powercut.
scatterbrain

9. Shihad - Beautiful Machine. Resolution!

We roll through space all looking up
(What's holding you back?)
To fall like waves on sand
Beautiful Machine
Show me what you see...
