Superheroes !!! (word)

WOO!  I spent alot of time on this CD, since I feel like there are alot of good, obvious songs that relate to superheroes (you know, Yoshimi, Time Travel is Lonely, etc..) that I could have stuck on a mix and called it good.   So these are a bunch of songs that I think are less literal, but still remind me of superheroes, superpowers, and super-narratives (… because you know, every superhero movie I’ve seen in the last 2 years has been fundamentally about a girl.)

-Emily

1.  Space Manitee - Heavenly

2.  Atomic Heels - Secret Machines  (If I were a superhero, I would crush you under my atomic heels. -e)

3.  Volcanic Girl - Buffalo Daughter

4.  Face to Face on High Places - School of Seven Bells

5.  Iron Man (First Try) - Cardigans

6.  Superpowers - The Dismemberment Plan

7.  Joker’s Wild - Man …or Astroman?

8.  Valerie Plame - The Decemberists  (she is my superhero! -e)

9.  Woman King - Iron & Wine

10.  Spider-Man on Hollywood - The Wedding Present (sorry, I’ve had a downer of a week.  I had to include this downer of a song. -e)

11.  Green Hornet - Al Hirt

12.  I Kicked Spiderman’s Ass - Wesley Willis

13.  About a Girl - Cibo Matto (it’s always about a girl.  and if superheroes were a musical act, they’d probably be Cibo Matto. -e)
