Music mixes for garden_hoe21 and dragovianknight: Lullabies and Fight Songs!

[theleaveswant]

So I know I've owed a mix to dragovianknight for approximately one million months and I've owed one to garden_hoe21 for nearly half that long, and in light of the overdueness these probably look a little half-assed, but I've actually had to fight myself down from a Sisyphean quest for curatorial completeness just to get these danged things posted so here are some unsorted collections of 1) "music to write fight scenes by" and 2) music to carry someone off to sleep, posted together because I like the pseudo-symmetry. I might try to make up for the sloppiness with more mixes, later.



Fairly self-explanatory: mostly fairly up-tempo and aggressive sounding and/or with combative/rallying lyrics (contain various violent references & "Green Light" jokes about pedophilia), but overall not particularly "hard" because at the end of most days I am a squishy hippie folkie.

Soothing songs, skewed a bit towards stuff I listened to as a kid and have warm nostalgia for (hence all the .wmas; stuff I ripped when my parents split up and we all moved away because I wanted to keep it but not enough to claim the hard copy), but mostly aimed at adult sleepers?

OMG how did you know I needed a lullaby mix. //grabs


ETA Sarah Harmer - "Go to Sleep" Oh God, she's so fantastic. If I could wear mp3s out, that one would be a stub.
