Venus Butterfly Playlist
Chapter One:
Catalyst Confession: "Martyr" by Depeche Mode
A nice sexy upbeat song for the open of a whirlwind of a
chapter. May the hectic mess begin.
Chapter Two:
Traitor: "Space Monkey" by Placebo
This song reminds me of a newly committed patient entering an
asylum for some reason and I thought it would fit with Hisoka's current
situation.
Chapter Three:
Honey-Flavored: "2 Hearts" by Kylie Minogue
A little sexy Minogue before Anna is taken over by the
Mother. :)
Chapter Four:
Kitsune Megami: "Supervixen" by Garbage
Shirley Manson is so sexy. Which is probably why her voice is
perfect for the Mother's takeover.
Chapter Five: Less
Than Ordinary Life: "I Miss You" by Blink 182
What happened to this band? Are they still around?
Chapter Six: Blue
Japanese: "Blue American" by Placebo
Brian shows the bitterness in Hisoka in therapy in this song.
Chapter Seven: Fox
is a Devil: "God's Gonna Cut You Down" by Johnny Cash
I don't normally like Johnny Crash or country music, but I
really like this song and had to use it.
Chapter Eight: Lab Promise:
"Clowns" by Goldfrapp
Now, I haven't heard this whole album yet, but this and "A&E"
have a folksy sound to it that's different from their previous albums.
Chapter Nine: Newbie Shinigami:
"Walking Zero" by Sneaker Pimps
You can't go wrong with the Sneaker Pimps on any day.
Chapter Ten: Fighting Myself: "My Sweet Prince" by Placebo
It's a slow Placebo song, but it grew on me after a few
listens.
Chapter Eleven: The Root of Darkness: "Honey Honey" by Feist
One of many rare treasures on Pandora.
Chapter Twelve: Daisuke's Sin: "Damaged Goods" by Gang of Four
Love this song and love how it fits with Daisuke's problem.
Chapter Thirteen: Phone Message: "Commercial for Levi" by
Placebo
This short song portrays Tsuzuki reaching out to Hisoka and
pushing him to get better again.
Chapter Fourteen: Angelic Resting: "A&E" by Goldfrapp
It took me a while to like this song because I wasn't used to
this style from Goldfrapp, but now I like it.
Chapter Fifteen: Kill Parade: "Shut Your Mouth" by Garbage
Shirley gives us more of the dark sexiness for the Mother.
Chapter Sixteen: Sour Cherry Game: "Sour Game" by the Kills
This song fits the sexual tense struggle between the Mother
and Tsuzuki down to a tee.
Chapter Seventeen: Lab Day: "Alice" by Moby
I can't really get enough of this song, you know? I plan to
use it later on in the series.
Chapter Eighteen: Metal Kitsune Heart: "Metal Heart" by
Garbage
More Shirley Manson for the Mother, anyone?
Chapter Nineteen: One of a Kind: "One of a Kind" by Placebo
The Meds album from the songs that I heard help so
Hisoka fighting his battle in rehab.
Chapter Twenty: Innocence to Love: "Fidelity" by Regina
Spektor
I've used this song before back in Halo, but I just
had to use it again for here.
Chapter Twenty-One: Demon Debt Crisis: "Forever for Her (Is
Over for Me)" by the White Stripes
The song's actually pretty funny for this chapter.
Chapter Twenty-Two: Days Before She Came: "Days Before You
Came" by Placebo
The songs from Black Market Music also work for
Hisoka's struggles as well.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Grandfather: "Vampires" by Pet Shop Boys
I won't lie: This song was just a random pick.
Chapter Twenty-Four: Lonely: "Rushing" by Moby
This song always makes me think of yuri and lesbians for some
reason.
Chapter Twenty-Five: Fox Poison: "The World is not Enough" by
Garbage
Ah, more Garbage for Tsuzuki and the Mother's unholy union.
Chapter Twenty-Six: Fool Queen: "Burger Queen" by Placebo
It's too slow and sad for my taste, but it works for this
chapter.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Akio: "Into the Blue" by Sneaker Pimps
Second random pick for this story.
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Confusing Love: "Dreams" by Fleetwood
Mac
This is a sweet song for the chapter here.
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Polar: "Level" by the Raconteurs
This song just feels Mike and Vivian for this; don't ask why.
Chapter Thirty: Queen Monster: "Heaven is Wide" by Garbage
More Shirley Manson for the Mother, take four.
Chapter Thirty-One: In the Cold Light of Morning: "In the Cold
Light of Morning" by Placebo
More Placebo for Hisoka in rehab.
Chapter Thirty-Two: Akio II: "Bloodsport" by Sneaker Pimps
Can't go wrong with Sneaker Pimps
Chapter Thirty-Three: End Game: "After Every Party I Die" by
Sneaker Pimps
More random Sneaker Pimps, yay!
Chapter Thirty-Four: Love with Confusion: "Hidden Place" by
Bjork
Bjork just works so well with Hotaru, you know?
Chapter Thirty-Five: Taming Plot: "Cut" by the Cure
This band's music sometimes works for this series. I don't
know why yet.
Chapter Thirty-Six: "Strict Machine (Benny Benassi Sfaction
edit)" by Goldfrapp
Ah, here's the Goldfrapp I'm more used to.
Chapter Thirty-Seven: Akio III: "Karma Police" by Radiohead
Damn, I haven't heard this song in this series since
Cherry.
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Uneasy Heart: "Haemogoblin" by Placebo
And we have returned back to Placebo and Hisoka in rehab with
this one.
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Love's Battle: "I Feel You" by Depeche
Mode
This version of the song clearly show Tsuzuki's desperation
to not have Anna killed before he can save her.
Chapter Forty: Long Black Out Night: "Ask for Answers" by
Placebo
I just had to use this song for this chapter. I had the idea
for it for a long time too.
Chapter Forty-One: Second First Impressions: "I Love to Move
in Here" by Moby
Last Night is one of Moby's best albums in my opinion.
Chapter Forty-Two: Gravity of Love: "Gravity of Love" by
Enigma
It's a little too dramatic for this chapter, but it manages
to work all the same.
Chapter Forty-Three: Goth and Puppy: "Get Him Back" by Fiona
Apple
This song just had to used! 'Nough said!
Chapter Forty-Four: Killing Time: "400 Lux" by Lorde
This song just clicked and I'm warming to Lorde myself. She
has some good stuff, really. I don't like "Team" though; it's too whiny for my
taste.
Chapter Forty-Five: Approaching Normal: "Passive Aggressive"
by Placebo
More with Placebo and Hisoka in rehab, only this time, we're
about to wrap up here.
Chapter Forty-Six: Two Women: "Breathe" by Telepopmusik
I haven't heard this song in ages and felt like using it in
this case.
Chapter Forty-Seven: Whirlwind Love: "Ooh La La" by Goldfrapp
Third random pick for this list.
Chapter Forty-Eight: Do Over: "Black-Eyed" by Placebo
The upbeat sound to this song fit the nature of Hisoka's
release and recovery.
Chapter Forty-Nine: Tango: "Slow" by Kylie Minogue
Kylie bring the Anna-Mother storyline full circle here.
Chapter Fifty: Support: "1234" by Feist
I just thought this song made a nice close for this hectic
story.
