Bunker Complex

I look for any reason to spend time throwing together playlists, and pairing songs with some of my favorite books that I read in 2009 was an obvious idea to avoid doing actually relevant life things. Of course it’s all completely subjective - just music that, in my own head, compliments these top 20 books through it’s lyrics and/or melodies. Zip file! 1. Dinah Washington - “That’s All I Want from You” (Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates)2. Sanders Bohlke - “Bring Your Weary Soul to the Alter” (The Road by Cormac McCarthy)3. Yann Tiersen - “Sur Le Fil” (The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro)4. Danny Elfman - “Moon Dance” (The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman)5. Emily Loizeau - “Comment Dire” (Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris)6. Vetiver - “Rolling Sea” (Cannery Row by John Steinbeck)7. Sea Wolf - “The Traitor” (A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz)8. Jon Hopkins - “Small Memory” (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby)9. Regina Spektor - “Time Is All Around” (Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant by Jenni Ferrari-Adler)10. Peter Gabriel - “We Do What We’re Told (Milgram’s 37)” (The Hunger Games + Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins)11. Castanets - “Lucky Old Moon” (The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann)12. David Berkeley - “Love’s the Only Thing That Shuts Me Up” (An Abundance of Katherines by John Green)13. Elliott Smith - “Angel in the Snow” (Chilly Scenes of Winter by Anne Beattie)14. Portland Cello Project & Justin Power - “Hungry Liars” (Birds of America by Lorrie Moore)15. Gregory Alan Isakov - “Crooked Muse” (The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder)16. Owen Pallett - “E Is for Estranged” (Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier)17. Brooke Waggoner - “Come Love, See My Hands” (Astrid and Veronika by Linda Olsson)18. Laura Veirs - “Little Deschutes” (Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson)19. James Yorkston & The Big Eyes Family Players - “Rufford Park Poachers” (Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner)20.
