back on my bullshit

hopelesseI've been very absent lately. Some of this is for good reasons -- new job! Foster cat transfers! People visiting from out of town, and visiting out of town, myself, in return. A lot of it is that blogging is a habit that I've gotten out of over the last, god, eight years of living in tumblr's microblogging blue hell.
Anyway. Good Omens continues to by my fannish obsession du jour. So...I made another fanmix. This one actually has a thematic goal: The story of Adam Young told in songs either 1. from the era of Queen or 2. that sound like they could be.
Best listened to in order. May I present: There's always Adam.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN ■ QUEEN
[Instrumental]
IT’S A BOY ■ THE WHO
It’s a boy, Mrs. Walker, it’s a boy
A son! A son! A son!
THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY ■ GENESIS
Something inside me has just begun
Lord knows what I have done
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
NOISE POLLUTION ■ PORTUGAL. THE MAN
Let’s reverse evolution
Let’s leave behind this dry land
Crawl back to the ocean
PROMISELAND ■ MIKA
I was born in that summer when the sun didn’t shine
I was given the name that doesn’t feel like it’s mine
Lived my life as the good boy I was told I should be
Prayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me
MUTINY, I PROMISE YOU ■ THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS
What’s the weight of the world worth to you, kid?
Go write down what you see and see how far it can go
What’s the weight of the world worth to your side?
Here is where you got lost and here is how you got by
And here is the mutiny I promised you
And here is the party it turned into
PUMPED UP KICKS ■ FOSTER THE PEOPLE
He’ll look around the room, he won’t tell you his plan
He’s got a rolled cigarette
Hanging out his mouth, he’s a cowboy kid
LATTER DAYS ■ MOTHER MOTHER
Look at the guys of the modern day
Gutting the goose with the golden egg
MR. BLUE SKY ■ ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA
Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creeping over, now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind, I’ll remember you this
I’ll remember you this way
ABSOLUTELY ■ RA RA RIOT
It’s the year of absolutely being absolutely nothing
Absolutely crushing absolutely everything
Absolutely loving, absolutely loving
Absolutely loving, absolutely
& ■ TALLY HALL
Big bad Betty of the ‘pocalypse
She opens her lips & it goes like this
When the golden rule & the jungle meet
There’ll be nothing to love &
There’ll be no one to beat
THIS SONG HAS NO TITLE ■ ELTON JOHN
I’m an innocent young child, sharp as a knife
And each day I learn just a little bit more
I don’t know why but I do know what for
If we’re all going somewhere, let’s get there soon
Oh, this song’s got no title, just words and a tune
TOPEKA ■ LUDO
Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future
CARRY ON ■ FUN.
If you’re lost and alone
Or you’re sinking like a stone
Carry on
KNIGHTS OF SHAME ■ AWOLNATION
Dance, baby, dance, like the world is ending
