Fred and George Weasley's Late Night Muggle Mix

[ninety6tears]

The current bi-weekly challenge at fanmix is "iPod", for which members are encouraged to do a mix of what they think would be on their favorite character's iPod. Or...tape deck or record player or whatever. Anyway, I decided a Fred and George mix would be fun.

Allow me to introduce my idea that it is not that farfetched to imagine that witches and wizards may, on occasion, have access to and enjoy Muggle music. Given that they apparently have rock bands, they've possibly borrowed a lot of pop culture from Muggles. I find it quite easy to imagine Muggle-borns crossing into the magical realm and taking rock and roll with them, possibly exposing open-minded purebloods to their favorite bands. Given their father's interest in Muggle technology, Fred and George might have eclectic access to "Muggle rock" and discover that they quite like it. And even though it's a pain in the ass converting electronics so that they work in the magical world, they find it's worth it so that they have something upbeat to listen to while they stay up until the wee hours trying to get that perfect prank spell to work, accidentally blowing stuff up and pondering that Pulp sounds a whole lot like the Weird Sisters.

SIDE A: Fred's Picks (download here)
1. "The Witch". The Cult.
2. "Collarbone". Fujiya & Miyagi.
3. "You Gotta Feel It". Spoon.
4. "We Used to Be Friends". The Dandy Warhols.
5. "One Time Too Many". PJ Harvey.
6. "Fall In Love With Me". Iggy Pop.
7. "Hangin' Downtown". The Replacements.
8. "Fools Gold". The Stone Roses.

SIDE B: George's Picks (download here)
1. "Golden Years". David Bowie
2. "Clap Hands (live)". Beck.
3. "Mile End". Pulp.
4. "BlueEyed Devil". Soul Coughing.
5. "Swlabr". Cream.
6. "I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Have ('Loaded' Remix)". Primal Scream. *
7. "Smack My Bitch Up". Prodigy.
8. "Lovecraft". The Vaselines.

Both "sides" in a zip here.

*I had to ad-lib a title for this track, because it's from a mix someone made me that I've lost the tracklist for (shucks). I madly searched Primal Scream info and managed to weakly conclude that it has the instrumentation from "Loaded" but a few lines of lyrics from "I'm Losing More...". I'm guessing it's just some mash-up that's been floating around the internet, if somebody knows what it's officially called, do correct me, please!

I know this is from forever ago but do you think you could reupload this? I'm working on a Twins fanfic and would love to have some tune-age to listen to to get me into thier heads. Please and thank you!!!!

I just updated the links :)
Happy writing.

Hi. Um, I'm trying to download what looks like an amazing fanmix, but the site used won't let you download anything without signing up for the site first.

I know it might not seem like much, but might I convince you to use MegaUpload instead? The links last forever and they don't make you sign a pledge before their links will work.

As it is, out of the sheer awesomeness of this fanmix, I will try signing up, as well.

Okay, I even tried signing up and it won't let me download anything. Help?

[ninety6tears.livejournal.com]

Ah, I've stopped using Divshare because of this problem but haven't updated the links on older mixes. I'll reupload it by tomorrow but I figured I should check if you're okay with .m4a's? I could convert them to mp3 if not.

[angelfirenze.livejournal.com]

Thank you! .mp3's would be best, but I think iTunes could convert them for me. At least, that's what I've read here.

[ninety6tears.livejournal.com]

Aaand here's the link. You're quite welcome, thanks for downloading!

Thank you!
