Wound Up on the Wrong End of a Gun

February 28, 2014 by

This is the part of the playlist where it veers in the direction of a little bit country. This particular song is probably the most traditionally country but there are a few more that I can’t really argue fit into that category. I like how plaintively they emote and how up front they are about […]

The Future is Zombie Gorillas?

February 21, 2014 by

This is actually a cover of a song by Gorillaz, but I like this version much better. The downside to the whole ‘it’s a cover’ aspect is that there’s no awesome video clip for you. Because I am sweet and generous (and, okay, the animation is adorable and there are zombie gorillas) I’ve included the Gorillaz […]

Hey, Honey, You Could Be My Drug

For this song you can have either the Zombie Bikers From Hell Drive-In video clip or the Animated Ghost Story video clip. Actually, I suggest both. Both is good. They’re both kinda awesome in a dorky sorta way. (And the lyrics are bizarrely appropriate for a story I want to tell later in the wizards-verse.) Hey […]

Brimming With the Words That Go Unsung

This song is about dancing in supermarket aisles. Or loving the wrong person. One of those. The part I’ve quoted below is very… well, it could be one of my characters saying that. The other one’s a little more likely to dance in supermarket aisles though. I like the juxtaposition of the happy  music and […]

When the Music Gets Down in Your Soul

I love this song. It’s got a fantastic beat — great to dance to, great to run to. And the lyrics are sorta awesome. It’s one of those catchy songs that gets stuck in your head but when you find yourself singing along you don’t have to be appalled at yourself. Whether it’s rock and roll […]

Until He’s Sober

Every time I hear this song in context of Drink Me, I hear the line ‘until he’s sober’ and start snickering because… yeah, that’s not gonna happen. Either that or I have flashbacks to when this was the ringtone I had for my honey and flail for my phone before I remember myself. It’s very dignified […]

You Mustn’t Be Afraid to Dream a Little Bigger, Darling

This is not the song I was going to post today. But a couple of days ago I was thinking about stuff — it’s a new year and my birthday’s coming up pretty soon — so I was having one of those look at your life, look at your choices moments. And you know what I thought? If my life […]

And At a Quarter After Two We Argued It Was Nine

This is a great drinking song and also a great funeral song, so naturally it’s perfect for Drink Me. It’s been recorded by a lot of different people but this is my favourite. Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I’ll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain’t […]

Another Case of Do or Die

The video clip for this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense (although let’s be realistic, how many actually do?) and I love that the lyrics are… open to interpretation. Or, at least, I enjoy taking them far more literally than I am sure they are intended. She’s electric, she’s the current running through my […]

This song has all of ten words in it and no official video clip, so just… close your eyes, hit play and enjoy the beat?
