Fanmix - And the mother of gloom

[anonymousblueberry]

Medium: Comics
Fandom: The Authority
Subject: Jenny Sparks, spirit of the 20th century
Title: And the mother of gloom
Warnings: Contains swearing, which kind of goes with the territory. I'm not going to warn for spoilers, but needless to say, it will probably spoil you if you haven't read any of the original run of The Authority
Notes: I love Jenny Sparks, she's basically my comic book hero (which is a terrible thing to say really), but whatever. The music here isn't period appropriate, nor does it cover all of her life.

Alison Krauss & Union Station - Dust Bowl Children
Everything we owned got all burned up in the great depression fire // Strip mines and one crop farming drained the green earth dry.

Sex Pistols - My Way
I've lived a life that's full // And each and every highway // And yet, much more than this / I did it my way

Smash Mouth - Everyday Super Hero
It's kinda hard when everyone looks up to you // Try to make it look easy, gonna make it look good

Mumford & Sons - Dust Bowl Dance
How can you love what it is you have got, // When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor? // Liars and thieves you know not what is in store.

Soundgarden - Blow Up the Outside World
No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all // Not one for giving up though not invincible I know

My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row
And the riot squad, they're restless // They need somewhere to go

Martha Wainwright - Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole
And I'm young & I'm strong // But I feel old & tired // Overfired

Blur - End of a Century
When we say goodnight // End of the century... it's nothing special

Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky
When I die and they lay me to rest // Gonna go to the place that's the best
