cyranoThere are a couple of mix projects I've been kicking around for a while, and I know how much y'all love to help with those, so I bring them out into the light and lay them before you as if to say "What do you think? Any suggestions?"
The first one is about angels, and more thematically about angels, falling or otherwise kept out of Heaven, and possibly the War. I have iTunes Search, so unless you *really* like "Maybe an Angel" by Heather Nova or "Los Angelenos" by Billy Joel or you think I might not already own it, then it's less helpful. If you *do* really like it, or think it's especially in-theme, then put forth your candidate. (:
The second project is songs where bands reference other bands in the lyrics. And in this case I do want explicit tags, not like in "Sweet Home Alabama" or Brad Paisley's new song. Something like LCD's "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" would count, or "Elvis and Me". I'm betting "We Didn't Start the Fire" has a bunch of bands in there somewhere.
