[Books] : Blood and Iron by Elizabeth Bear, General Mix
I don't know if any of you have ever read Blood and Iron by Elizabeth Bear but it is so so so so so awesome. I love this book so much it has everything in it. It has fairies and dragons and a very sarcastic water horse and a bunch of people from hell and a club of people who want to get rid of all that with iron. I won't spoil it for you.
So I made a fanmix. First time I made one of these for a book.
ETA: Be polite and comment when taking so I can know when to put up a new link and someone let me know when the downloads run out. I know that yousendit.com can be a pain.
ETA 2: One of the tracks is missing from the .zip. It's linked individually. Thanks for letting me know.

Tracklisting
1. Matthew Good Band - Weapon
A song for Seeker and all that she must do and become
"Ain't it weird how it makes you a weapon?"
2. Sarah McLachlin - Black
A song for Seekers, and the things they do at Faerie's behest.
"The frightened and the weak
Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of
At mercy are the meek"
3. Razreesh - Mediaeval Baebes
(translation unavailable)
A song for treacherous black Russian wolves, a song for lost love
4. An Epitaph - Mirabilis
"You may behold and see/how I lie here/ sometime a mighty knight"
A song for Dragon Princes, for Aurthur and Keith and the ones who lay down blood
5. A Perfect Circle - Imagine
"Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky"
A song for the Prometheus Club, who matches Faerie in darkness and determination
6. Delirium f/ Aude - Delirium (Instrumental)
A song for Faerie seductions
7. Christopher Young - Death Storm (Instrumental)
A song for the battles that are coming
8. My Chemical Romance - Mama
"Mama we're all full of lies.
Mama we're meant for the flies.
And right now they're building a coffin your size.
Mama we're all full of lies."
A song for Ian, taken and twisted by Faerie, by the Mebd, the love and bane of his mother
9. Joseph DoLuca - Festival of Ghouls (Instrumental)
A song for Wild Fae, for the true darkness of the Faerie court. For Kadiska and Whiskey the ruthless things that lurk in corners.
10. Aurora - Ordinary World
"And I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
through the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
A song for Matthew and for Elaine, who fight wars they didn't ask for and live with choices they didn't get to make
11. Sequentia & Elizabeth Gaver - Ragnarok (Instrumental)
A song for the end of all things, for the darkness coming, for the impermance of Faerie Glamourie and Promethean Iron. A song for the fights no one wins, with a hint of Faerie's reels and Russian fatalism and Promethean predation in it.
12. Morgan Grace - Scarborough Fair
A song for the things in Faerie that are beautiful, such as music and dance - and the tragedy in that beauty's cost. A song for a Merlin who sings, and is courted by all but loved by none.
13. Saint-Saens - Danse Macabre (Instrumental)
A song for Faerie in all it's fantastic, wild mythological glory.
14. Raquy and the Cavemen - Caravan (Instrumental)
A song for epic fights, for battles, for chases.
15. Frou Frou - Close Up
"I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
I can't keep my hands off you."
A song for Elaine and the people that she loves but can't trust, including herself.
16. Patrick Park - Something Pretty
"At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted."
A song for things that sing about love but don't feel it, and the things that want love but can't have it.
Bonus: Fairport Convention - Tam Lin
Then up spoke the Fairy Queen,
an angry Queen was she
"Woe betide her ill-farred face,
an ill death may she die..."
The one song the Mebd cannot hear.
