YES I AM CAPABLE OF NOT PUTTING BEULAH ON A MIX. Just... not this one, okay?!?

[elapses]

THE FACTS ARE THESE: once upon a time there was this stupid, stupid little show called Enterprise. And it was absolutely terrible. So terrible, in fact, that the two creators finally said "fuck this shit" and handed it over to someone else, who made it SO MUCH BETTER. Or he would have, had it not starred Jonathan Archer, AKA THE WORST CHARACTER IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. Do not be charmed by the fact that he is played by Scott Bakula-- HE IS AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL.

What I am trying to say is it takes a lot of fortitude to watch this show-- to get around the terrible writing, the (sometimes) terrible acting (LOL ANTHONY MONTGOMERY, as much as I would like to eat you up with a spoon, there is a reason they never gave Travis lines), the terrible characters who refuse to die NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT ALMOST HAPPENS, the fact that Brannon Braga really likes to write about NAZIS IN SPACE, the part where it's... Star Trek, etc. So much is wrong that it is difficult for anyone to get to the good part. The good part being Trip! and! T'Pol! in! season! four!

Anyway. goldenmelisande needed more Trek after you know what movie, and she picked this and them, and her subsequent enchantment has reawoken things I have not felt since I was fifteen. And believeeeee me, I know Catherine and I are almost-but-not-quite the only people left in the known universe who care about them/this fanmix (and since she's already aware of/helped me pick out a good two thirds of these songs, THERE IS SOME QUESTION OF WHY I AM EVEN POSTING THIS), BUT THEY'RE JUST SO LOVELY AND ANGSTY, IT CANNOT BE HELPED. And what it not to love? VULCANS*! HUMANS! HALF-NAKED YOGA MASSAGES VULCAN NEUROPRESSURE! PSYCHIC BONDS! Yeaaaaaaah.

*Admittedly T'Pol is the WORST VULCAN EVER, but it's kind of really adorable.

1. lisa loeb & nine stories - sandalwood
Your hand, so hot
Burns a hole in my hand
I wanted to show you.


2. syd matters - watcher
There must be something
You're up to something
You've never been so silently dreaming away


3. the panics - ruins
Before I had a chance to look
You went and turned your back for good
Don't act as if it's understood
When it only takes one look
At the crater where we once stood
I don't know what we will become


4. someone still loves you boris yeltsin - modern mystery
You could really put me in my place
On a map in outer space
You've got a real cool constitution
And it's a come on
But it's not an illusion
There is no modern mystery
No mystic chords of memory
There is no modern mystery
We're making up our history


5. sea foxx - beauty of the ride
I have known that nothing's real
What did I expect?
When magic slips into the air
And every day's another test
And all this tension back and forth
Surely works its' ugly way
Outside


6. bon iver - the wolves (act i & ii)
What might have been lost
Don't bother me


7. noisettes - atticus
Remember what I lost like hot coals in my hand from days gone by
Like Pandora adored the euphoria as her heart raced
Like love lost you've got to try even in vain


8. beulah - a man like me
My love is a lot like yours
It's been crippled by the wars we wage
We're hopeless
We're on the losing side


9. sara lov - animals
I should have never let you into me
But I never never learned to swim
Until you came around and pushed me in



WHILE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT... things, uh, I am basically grateful that twitter exists because it means THIS EXISTS:


SO YEAH, THAT HAPPENED.
