[America FST] My Time Is Today

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

Been adding songs to this playlist for a couple months now, and I thought it was about time I shared it. Since I don't like to post without artwork, there's some of that, too.




True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time.
My people are Americans and my time is today.

George Gershwin

[confictionery.livejournal.com]

fffff I was just thinking about how Because We Want To would make a great America song. ♥ And the cover art is fantastic!

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

Beat you to it then? ♥ And thank you!

Sweet! DLing some of it!

[drunensis.livejournal.com]

The art's cool.

Tom Lehrer?! Downloading!

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Heh, I've been meaning to do a fanart series for "Who's Next?" but haven't got round to it. xD

[wingsover.livejournal.com]

<333

the funny thing, is I'm working on a UK/US FST of my own, and 'Locking Up The Sun' is there too. Way to go, Finnish rock group - you personified US for us! :)

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

Haha, what a coincidence! It is an awesome song though. 8D

[wingsover.livejournal.com]

It's the chorus, right?

"Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day
Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time
Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away
Someone who will never turn a blind eye to a crime"

And the song rocks so hard!

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's exactly it! I couldn't listen to that part without thinking about him. xD

[wingsover.livejournal.com]

you're making me want to listen to it again. Oh, and do you know this other song by them, Carnival of Rust? It's not making it into the fst I'm doing, but I wanted so bad to find a way to put it in....

Hope I don't tread on your toes if I put up the fst (who knows, I am notoriously lazy about such things) and still include that one song? ^_^

PS: Did you make that cover graphic? Cos it's so heroic appropriate.

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

Ah I've not heard that one, no...

It wouldn't be treading on my toes at all. :3

An' I did make that, yep. :> I am glad you like it :>

[snappy8000.livejournal.com]

Really nice choice of songs there :D (And the cover is just dandy)
Downloading now!

This is amazing and I had to just grin at some of the song choices. Top faves: Locking up the Sun , Dream Big, and Television, Television. Some of these just deserve music videos.

[sinatra-1742.livejournal.com]

Aw man, so I downloaded the whole thing and I love this fanmix! It's got a good blend of different styles and moods...much like America, perhaps. ;D Anyway, thanks for sharing this!

[admiral]

Ahaha, this is so awesome. :D ♥

[hyper-drum-girl.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. ♥ I am absolutely loving this.

Small, annoying question: do you happen to have a non-wma copy of "I Saved the World Today"? I can't put it on my ipod, and I've been searching the internet for an mp3 to no avail... :(

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

Ah, sure thing! Mp3 version is here (http://www.mediafire.com/?mcfummmzyln).

[hyper-drum-girl.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!! *adds immediately*

(I've seriously been listening to this playlist on repeat since last night -- final papers, yay. x_x But the point is. I love it so much and not only do all of these songs fit America to a tee, they're also just plain awesome songs. Thanks so, so much for uploading this!)

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

Well, thank you very much! I'm really glad you like it so much! ^___^ (And good luck on your papers, too.)
