Red
The last of three fanmixes for ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
whedonland. Not fannishly associated, so just a mix. The recipient of these gifts asked for redhead-related things, so I made a mix on the topic. Links go to MP3s where freely available, and to streaming versions for everything else.

Patty Griffin, "Flaming Red" (Youtube)
Suzanne Vega, "Blood Makes Noise" (Youtube)
Garbage, "As Heaven Is Wide" (Youtube)
The B-52s, "Juliet of the Spirits" (Youtube)
DJ Magnet, "Love Comes Running Up That Hill Gently (Placebo vs. Pet Shop Boys vs. Kate Bush)" (MP3)
The Weasel King, "Red Hair (2DefMice Nerdy Gospel Mix)" (MP3)
Janet Robin, "Say It One More Time"
The Parson Red Heads, "Punctual as Usual" (Youtube)
Indigo Girls, "Tangled Up in Blue" (Youtube)
Willie Nelson, "Cowboys Are Frequently (Secretly) Fond of Each Other" (Youtube)
If I wanted to be tricky, I could have had "Don't Give Up" on this mix twice, once with Kate Bush and once with Willie Nelson, but then the mix wouldn't have gay cowboys. CONSIDER THAT!
Eddi Reader, "California" (Lyrics at artist's website)
Paul Kelly, "Curly Red" (Lyrics at artist's website)
Marian Call, "I'll Still Be a Geek After Nobody Thinks It's Chic (The Nerd Anthem)" (Streaming at artist's website)

Patty Griffin, "Flaming Red" (Youtube)
I took a walk around the block.This mix started out with the title "Flaming Red," but it changed when I started playing with the cover art. This still comes first. It's the first song I think of when it comes to redheads.
I bought a candle; it was
Flaming Red, Flaming Red
Suzanne Vega, "Blood Makes Noise" (Youtube)
Blood makes noise, it's a ringing in my ear.One of the obvious redhead artists, I could've tried a deeper cut, but I just needed something to fit in the mix. I remember this song from its appearance on Homicide: Life on the Streets.
And I can't really hear you in the thickening of fear.
Garbage, "As Heaven Is Wide" (Youtube)
As far from God as Heaven is wide.Another ginger artist with a lot of possibilities, but this one was dropped from Working in the Devil's Playground, so I threw it in here.
The B-52s, "Juliet of the Spirits" (Youtube)
You're a force of nature can't be controlledThe linked video shows footage of the Fellini film this song is named after, which also features a red-haired protagonist.
You know you've got it girl come on and let it show
DJ Magnet, "Love Comes Running Up That Hill Gently (Placebo vs. Pet Shop Boys vs. Kate Bush)" (MP3)
And if I only could make a deal with GodDoes it make me a bad feminist if my favorite Kate Bush song is a mashup? Well, too bad, it is.
And get him to swap our places.
The Weasel King, "Red Hair (2DefMice Nerdy Gospel Mix)" (MP3)
Hey, I think I finally got it figured outWizard rock is, predictably, fertile ground for songs about redheads. I love the original, but I decided to go with this remix from the Old Nerdy Bastard album because I like it a hair's breadth more.
Red hair is one thing that I'm all about
Janet Robin, "Say It One More Time"
Just say it one more time.Janet Robin's a local artist, and this, along with the songs from her first album, appears to be missing from the web.
Darling, curl your heart around mine.
The Parson Red Heads, "Punctual as Usual" (Youtube)
I've got a girl who's never on timeSome of the band members do have red hair, it's not just a name.
When I'm late, it's always all right.
Indigo Girls, "Tangled Up in Blue" (Youtube)
Early one mornin' the sun was shinin', I was layin' in bed,I like the Indigo Girls' version a bit better than Bob's.
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all, if her hair was still red.
Willie Nelson, "Cowboys Are Frequently (Secretly) Fond of Each Other" (Youtube)
Cowboys are frequently (secretly) fond of each otherFor those wondering, yes, Willie Nelson did have red hair before it went grey.
Say what did you think all them saddles and boots was about?
If I wanted to be tricky, I could have had "Don't Give Up" on this mix twice, once with Kate Bush and once with Willie Nelson, but then the mix wouldn't have gay cowboys. CONSIDER THAT!
Eddi Reader, "California" (Lyrics at artist's website)
Why don't you come with me?I don't really know why I have this album on my iTunes, but she has red hair, and I am a sucker for songs about California.
I'll get you through January in California.
Paul Kelly, "Curly Red" (Lyrics at artist's website)
Waves of fire upon her head, above a fine young frame.This is the second song I think of when I think about redheads.
She melts my bones right there in the bed when she calls my name.
Marian Call, "I'll Still Be a Geek After Nobody Thinks It's Chic (The Nerd Anthem)" (Streaming at artist's website)
I have been a nerd since my first five-syllable word,And ending with another obvious choice, the redhead sing who released an album of Serenity filk. It would be a crime to omit her.
And no TV series or movie changes that.
And I'll still be a geek now Vote for Pedro's so last week.
I don't care whether Milan endorses plaid.
