Happy Birthday, Emily! For your birthday I made you a fanmix of our favorite culebra and conman (more inspired by villagers stuff than strictly canon). If the embedded player doesn't work you can follow the link here

Tracklist

1. Wasp Nest by The National
Your eyes are broken bottles
And I'm afraid to ask
And all your wrath and cutting beauty
You're poison in the pretty glass
You're a wasp nest, you're a wasp nest

2. Hot Knife by Fiona Apple
If I'm butter, if I'm butter,
If I’m butter, then he's a hot knife,
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
Showing the dancing bird of paradise.

I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife,
I'm a hot knife, he's a pat of butter.
If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another, never need another.

3. Sad Eyes by Bat for Lashes
I can tell that you're lonely
But it seems now
There's nothing you want me to do
So I won't try to take the sadness from those eyes that I love
Leave it open for someone else to

And when you smile those sad eyes
Look sadder and sadder still

4. That's What's Up by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes
You be the book, I'll be the binding
You be the words, I'll be the rhyming
While I was feeling such a wreck I thought I was losing my mind
While I was feeling such a mess I thought the sun never shined
You be the bird, I'll be the feather
We'll be the best of friends forever
While I was feeling such a mess I thought you'd leave me behind
While I was feeling such a wreck I thought you'd treat me unkind
Then I'll find forever and always
You've got my love to lean on darling

5. I'll Believe in Anything by Wolf Parade
We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day
We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves

But I'll believe in anything
And you'll believe in anything

6. I'm an Animal by Neko Case
Pick up that rock (drink from that lake)
I do my best but I'm made of mistakes
Yes, there are things I'm still quite sure of
I love you this hour
This hour today
And heaven will smell like the airport (airport)
But I may never get there to prove it
So let's not waste our time thinking how that ain't fair

I'm an animal
You're an animal, too

7. Keep Breathing by Ingrid Michaelson
I want to change the world
Instead I sleep
I want to believe in more than you and me

But all that I know is I'm breathing
All I can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing now

8. Play Crack the Sky by Brand New
What they call love is a risk, cause you will always get hit out of nowhere by some wave and end up on your own.
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts to bail us out.
And flooded the engines and radio and half buried bow.
Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship.
Sends your words past your lips or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you.
Come off course while you sleep.
Sweep your boat out to sea or dashed to bits on the reef.

9. The Dress Looks Nice On You by Sufjan Stevens
I can see a lot of life in you
I can see a lot of bright in you
And I think the dress looks nice on you
I can see a lot of life in you

I can see a bed and make it too
I can see a fireside turn blue
And I can see the lot of life in you
Yes, I can see a lot of life in you

10. Melt Your Heart by Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins
And we've lost the people we could have loved, and you...
What you know you have or what you think you want
It's never perfect

It's bound to melt your heart
One way or another
It's bound to melt your heart
For good or for bad
It's like a valentine
From your mother
It's bound to melt your heart

Are we killing time?
Are we killing each other?
