how to tote a gun and have fun: a kara thrace fanmix. 
17th-Jun-2008 01:25 am
I'm very behind on BSG so this definitely doesn't have any spoilers for the fourth season. I'm not even really sure how a fanmix would have spoilers but thought I'd mention it.

It was meant as a throwback to early Starbuck who was all cards and cigars and blowing shit up, but I ended up tracing her character through the first three seasons. This mix has been known at various times to me as "The Starbuck Mix: Dirty Version" and "The Starbuck Mix of Lolitude," because, uh, most of my Starbuck music is loud and dancey. And it's often rap. QUITE SADLY, I wasn't able to fit "Superfly" onto this one because the serious songs kept creeping in, but NEXT TIME.







Hosted by me, so right click, save as.

1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Phenomena
you're something like a phenomena, something like an astronoma, now roll, kid
[Miniseries, Act of Contrition, You Can't Go Home Again]

2. Billy Joel vs Jay-Z - Big Shot Pimpin'
and with the story of your latest success, you kept 'em so entertained. but now you just don't remember all the things you said, and you're not sure that you want to know. i'll give you one hint, honey - you sure did put on a show
[Flesh and Bone, The Hand of God, Colonial Day]

3. Pink - God is a DJ
you take what you get and you get what you give, i say don't run from yourself, man, that's no way to live
[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Scattered, Valley of Darkness, Resistance, The Farm]

4. A.C. Newman - Better Than Most
better than most at feeling your pain, walking wounded through the stars tonight, we wander the plains, pointing pistols at the dawn
[Home, Flight of the Phoenix, Pegasus, Resurrection Ship]

5. The Notorious B.I.G. - Party and Bullshit (Ratatat remix)
smoking sacks up in acts, and sidekicks with my sidekicks rockin fly kicks. honeys want to chat but all we wanna know is where the party at? and can i bring my gat? if not, i hope i don't get shot. but i throw my vest on my chest 'cause niggaz is a mess. it don't take nothin' but frontin' for me to start somethin'
[Scar]

6. Wolf Parade - You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son
watching you run into the high noon sun, watching you run farther than guns will go. you are a runner with a stolen voice, and i am my father's son
[Leeeeeeeee!]

7. Siobhan Donaghy - Medevac
i'm pacing ahead, can't shut down my hand. like a ship in the night, like I'm losing the fight. help me out here, cos i'm strung out, i can't go back there, or i'll burn out. medic, medevac me up
[Occupation, Precipice, Exodus]

8. Dizzee Rascal - Suk My Dick
my hat is low, my trousers too, and people say that i'm too rude. but i don't care cause i'm the shit, so you can all just suck my dick
[Collaborators, Torn]

9. Fiona Apple - Criminal
i know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand, but i keep living this day like the next will never come
[Unfinished Business, The Eye of Jupiter, Rapture, Taking a Break From All Your Worries]

10. Elliott Smith - The Enemy Is You
when you go walking out in the rose city, without a fucking clue, with an attitude, knowing what you need, what you will not do, the enemy is you. you beat up on yourself cause there ain't no one else that feels quite as good to put straight through hell. you know yourself well, you know what you're about.
[recap time!]

11. Jem - 24
been given 24 hours to tie up loose ends, to make amends. his eyes said it all, i started to fall and the silence deafened. head spinning round, no time to sit down, just wanted to run and run and run. be careful, they say, don't wish life away. now I've one day
[Maelstrom]

12. Vienna Teng - Hope on Fire
gotta fight gotta strike, cause there's no turning away from what you don't want to know. gotta see gotta be. if they're all going astray, don't let them take you in tow. you're a one-man shift in the weather, you're the woman who just won't sell, you're gonna make your mark this time. when the streets are aflood like a fever, it's a holiday of the new. we're coming closer now to the truth. gotta move gotta choose, you've got a difference to make. gotta change rearrange, something's bending to break
[Crossroads, He That Believeth In Me]

The album art was made by butchering a wallpaper I had previously made, which also has a matching banner image. In case anyone's interested.

grabbing a few tracks, thank you! The cover art is fantastic, and how much do I love the mix title?! (LOADS.)

Thanks! I hope you like the songs. The title is stolen from lyrics in the Biggie track, lol. I wanted to include that lyric in the snippet of them but it was all about Biggie hitting on bitches looking righteous in tight dresses, or something, and while Kara has bitches, I doubt we'd catch Lee/Anders/Leoben in tight dresses.

Grabbing a few of these! Album art is wicked as well.

Snagging a bunch of these + I love the album art :) Also, it's awesome that you hosted them, it's so much easier/faster just right clicking and save as than going through a media site.
