keep out the stars, turn out the lights

As soon as I had finished my last mix a few days ago, I immediately began planning my next one. I'd already focused on Lily and Severus, so I felt it was time to get to work on a mix for my OTP, Lily and James. And lo, Under My Skin was born. Sixteen tracks, all in one zip - without the obligatory song by The Black Keys, which makes me a wee bit sad. I spent more time then usual agonizing over the song choice and lyrics to use because I wanted to do this pairing justice. I've really thought about the order of songs and unlike my other mixes, there are three clearly defined 'arcs' to this mix. Arc One encompasses the Hogwarts years, when the two were still innocent and had only just begun to notice each other. Arc Two is where they are forced to grow up a bit, and focuses on their love though there is a hint of unrest simmering just below the surface. Arc Three is the beginning of the end. Even though paranoia and fear for each other and their child seems overwhelming, they know that they'll love each other to the bitter end. (Yes, I did get a bit teary making this mix.) As always please leave a comment if you download and do not repost this elsewhere. If anyone would like individual songs uploaded or has trouble downloading the mix, just let me know.

Hello darlings. Here's the Bellatrix/Sirius fanmix I mentioned in my last to-do-list post. It's been lurking around on my computer for a couple of years now and today I decided to sit down and try and put it together. There were a million and one songs I wanted to put on it but I managed to whittle the list down to fourteen - yay me!. Obviously, there are themes of incest here so if that's not your thing - step away from the fanmix! I set out to make this quite balanced between the two but Bellatrix sort of took over towards the end with the last few songs. As always, please leave a comment if you download, and do not repost this elsewhere. If anyone would like individual songs uploaded or has trouble downloading the mix, just let me know.

Remember when I said I wouldn't be making any more mixtapes until after February? SURPRISE!

This one is the first part of a project I'm planning - I'm making fanmixes for a couple of characters from Glee (essentially just my favourites), and then I plan on doing ones for pairings - I ship everyone with everyone so there'll be heaps of these (if I can manage it!). As always, please leave a comment if you download, and do not post elsewhere. If anyone would like individual songs uploaded, or has trouble downloading the zip, just let me know.
