I was up until 5:30 in the morning. I can't believe that. My sleep patterns get awfully strange during break. Church was at 1PM and I still slept through it. *facepalm*

As much as I love Winchesters another thing I love about Supernatural is the feel of it, the way it's steeped in Americana and American folklore. It has a blue-collar, gritty aesthetic that you just don't get on TV all that often unless it's being laughed at.

A couple months ago I realized I had a bunch of country/folk/bluegrass songs that strongly reminded me of that setting but weren't very "Winchester-y" (one of the songs was a cover of 'Stairway to Heaven' by Dolly Parton which I love but that Dean would salt and burn on general principle). I determined that what the world apparently needed was a "Hunter's Mix", so this is for all of the people who haven't made it into the story yet but are out there, doing their job.






Smoke On The Water: A Hunter's Mix

Maybe this'll help tide us over until Thursday. Man, the closer it gets the further it seems.

ETA: It's snowing. FUCK yeah!

I fail

to understand why you are so happy about snow. 3.5 hours of sitting in it really takes the joy out of all the white stuff...Especially when we've now lost 3 days of school because of it, since it snowed again this a.m.

Dang! I forgot to reply to your email! See, this is why my brain loses at everything.

I'm happy about snow because that means the weather has returned to normal. Things have just been wrong and off without it. Pathetic, but true.

Wow, snowstorms in your neck of the woods suck. Though I am vaguely amused by how snow days go from 'awesome' to 'horrible' when you're not a student anymore. ;-)

Oooh. This looks really nice. Snagging, and thank you. (On a side note, it's kind of weird looking at your tags list and seeing my name, although I'm fairly certain you're referring to the hurricane and not me. *grin*)

You're icon is so true

You're very welcome for the music! And, wow, way to have your name become notorious for all the wrong reasons. Shoot.

[mystic-reader.livejournal.com]

I grabbed all of them! It looks awesome! Thank you for sharing!!

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! Hope you enjoy!

thea gilmore! ^_^ i know exactly what you mean about the american-ness of spn - back roads and local legends and little nowhere midwest towns. and songs that dean at least wouldn't be caught dead listening to....

which means i like this mix and downloaded the songs. :D

[resounding-echo.livejournal.com]

Nice track list--snagging.

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this -- looks really interesting!

Is there a link that has the whole mix in one DL? Maybe I'm just being an idiot, but I can't see one.

[practical-magic.livejournal.com]

I love that this mix includes Vienna Teng and Dar Williams! Both songs are favorites.

There is something special about the way the series is so much a part of American life-- or perhaps more accurately all the little things we sometimes take for granted along with the larger storyline. Sometimes when I'm traveling through back country roads and small towns I find myself thinking about how it would look from the Winchester's pov-- the hole in the wall economy motels they would be looking for, the little diners, etc.

Thanks for the mix!

Oh awesome. I love this mix. And that Dolly Parton cover? HOLY CRAP. I just listened to it and it is completely perfect.

And yeah, one of my favorite things about SPN is just the sheer American-ness of it. It's like it could take place in the little, backroad town you pass as you drive down the highway, never giving it a second glance. I love it.

Thanks for this! :D

Those anonymous hunters certainly deserve a mix of their own! Took the 13 songs I didn't already have, and thank you!

[skroberts]

O-o-o-o. Nabbing! :)

And I haven't seen snow in about 14 years. Lucky you. :P

NEKO CASE. :D I take, yes? Thank you! ♥
