Some thoughts towards a new Nadja soundtrack

[alexmegami]

Yes, I am putting together another character CD. I'm even open to taking suggestions.

So far, I have the following (in no special order):

1. Sam Roberts - Sundance (lyrics)
2. The Veronicas - This Is How It Feels (lyrics)
3. A Metric song - which, I'm not sure [1]
4. The Protomen - EITHER Breaking Out (video) (lyrics) OR Light Up The Night (video) (lyrics). [2]

[1] Options: Monster Hospital; Satellite Mind; Gold Guns Girls; Blindness.

[2] Do I go with angst and the feeling of being caged, or rage and driving? So hard!

...yeah, I think that gives you an idea about Nadja.

So if you know of any angry rock that is (especially) sung by women, that is about cars, vigilantism, violence in general, breakups they're still mourning (with rage and bitterness and still the desire to fix it!), or really anything in the genre that you just want to recommend... go for it. ;)

I'd like to keep towards a more driving beat, since a number of the songs on that list are fairly melancholy...

I've always preferred "Light Up the Night". :P

What's Nadja?

Hmmm hmmm hmmm. I almost want to suggest Journey's "Separate Ways" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afHQd-lP4yU). It's this kickass hard driving rock song... It's about a breakup that the (male) singer still wants to fix, but it might be a lot more amicable than you're going for. (It's very "I dearly hope you'll come back to me, but if not, ah well, I wish you well.")

What It Feels Like For A Girl - Madonna (I realize it's not rock, but it always makes me think of grand theft auto and reckless endangerment)

My Favourite Game - The Cardigans

Violet - Hole

Young Crazy Peeling - The Distillers

Rebel Girl - Bikini Kill

Don't Wait Up For Me - The Donnas
"Boy, don't try to slow me down/You're not the only one that's on my mind/Got enough to go around/If you can't take it/You'll be left behind

Gotta loosen up/Drain the cup/It's time to tear it up"

Cherry Bomb, I Love Playin' With Fire - The Runaways

Bad Reputation - Joan Jett

Rural Alberta Advantage - Drain the Blood
