Catching up on this. 
Sending thanks for your kind words and patience during the (unexpectedly 
) slow healing process, everyone. 
@Pow-Pow - Ah haā¦ I must say, despite that songās name, one thing Iāve learned is that one canāt go wrong with Depeche Mode when it comes to choosing songs for themes like these, so Iām excited to see that added! Thinking about what Cliffās gone through over each season makes that songās overall feel a very appropriate choice. Likewise, choosing Meredith Brooks for Jane is interestingā¦ the way she moves and sounds in that song is, to me, reflective of Jane in a good way. A similar vibe there, along with the offered mix of traits given in that song.
Iām honestly surprised by the addition of āBad Romance,ā but I can see that, and canāt help but be thankful for the chance you gave to dance to a song Iāve long enjoyed having on my personal playlist. 
āBurning Bridgesā is an intriguing addition for Larry; I like how the feel of it makes me think of the armed forces, which would make sense for him, but the lyrics feel very fitting for him, as well. The video and song for Ritaās just as well-suited for her and her prior career as an actress - the glitz and glamor of it all.
The sound of Rebeccaās voice in āThe Midnight In Meā was the first thing to hit me when thinking of Dorothy. Wow, thatās such a good pick for her! The childlike sound of it, juxtaposed with the songās themeā¦ I donāt think I couldāve chosen better, myself. And Iām glad you went back to Depeche Mode for Niles. āWalking In My Shoes,ā is powerful for a number of reasons, in making me think of his relationship with Dorothy, for example. You did a superb job with these!
@ajm08g - Why hello, hello! I know how you felt about the finaleā¦ we hardly knew ye, Season 2, but Iām glad thereās another one on the way. :partying: For your list, I like how Iām already familiar with so many of the songs chosen. It made it so that I could compare them to their character without even needing to listen to them first. And then, I listened to them, of course, because theyāre all just that good. xD
There are certain lyrics that stand out to me for each of them, too, such as āit just takes some time,ā popping out for Rita, and āIām waking up to ash and dust, I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust, Iām breathing in the chemicals,ā making me think of what is it that makes Larry have to cover up like he does (though I can see him cooking to that song, too lol). I donāt blame you for choosing more than one for Janeā¦ one isnāt enough for her, by any means! I hadnāt thought of āDiary of Jane,ā though, but wow, Iām amazed by how well that fits! Nicely played, my friend. 
Same is true with āHammerhead,ā in that, after listening to it, I realized just how well-matched the lead singerās voice is for her on its own. The frenetic energy of the song is icing on the cake there.
Ooh, and Cliff, yes! āI want to heal, I want to feel what I thought was never real,ā pulses like a flashing light from that song for him, while āRobot Boyā is an indisputably lovely choice for Cyborg, in both name, and lyrics, alike. āThe Famous Final Sceneā is a heart-wrenching pick that really tugs at ya when it comes to what we learn about The Chief, so Iām glad you round it all out with an upbeat song for Dorothy (ah, another wonderful choice one canāt go wrong with - you all know just when to unleash the goodāuns weāve suffered from not hearing for too long, lol). Great choices! You made them create a double layer of familiarity for me that I wouldāve had a hard time achieving myself. 
@patterson65.37405 - Ah ha, I see what ya did there with Rita Nicely played with āBend Me, Shape Me,ā and just a really good, catchy tune all on its own, too! āBecause Theyāre Youngā is a nice one to add for Dorothy, and itās sound makes it something I can see being background to some of her scenes. Everyone elseās songs are expertly chosen, as well, with my favorites being the ones for Cliff, Larry and Vic (with that song from Elvis being spot on for how I envisioned Cliff during his earlier days, āOnly the Lonelyā being something I can imagine Larry having on his personal MP3 player, and āMan With the Golden Armā giving me a good giggle. I love how swanky that last one is, and can totally imagine that being a theme for Vic). The shared themes running throughout all of your songs tie together really well; I think itās a good depiction of how good they all work together as a team.
@TheSpookyWifeOfJasonTodd - You know, I can see āBohemian Rhapsodyā being a great fit for the show, too. Iāve always loved how ornate and unexpected parts of the song is, and that goes hand in hand with a show like this, for sure. Itās been a long time since Iāve heard āBorn This Wayā - thank you for mentioning that; it brings back a lot of memories, and I agree about it being just as good a choice for Danny!
@Reaganfan78 - Hey there! No worries at all, cycling through to get everything posted to, so no worries about going overboard at all; as you now know, itās not been due to any of your or anyone elseās choices (twas a case of the mind fooling me into thinking I could do more than I could, and the body shut me down with a stern, āNO!ā >,<). I always enjoy what you come up with from week to week, so itās never a negative to listen to what you had in mind!
Speaking of choices, though, yes, I am so here for Randy Newman being added to the mix! You hit the nail on the head and then some, considering how many strange, indescribable things seem to happen in this show. 
That, and who doesnāt like Toy Story? Or āThe Wizard of Oz,ā for that matter, which does epitomize the whimsical traits bubbling off of that particular poster with skill. You did a great job just going off of so little experience with the show - your instincts are very much on the money in my opinion, both in topics, and, for songs like āFace to Face,ā the overall feel!
@TheRosses - Ahh, I see what you mean - I like the way your mind thinks when summing up the collective like it does, then!
@biff_pow - Wow, it sounds like your mindās been hard at work when it comes to Doom Patrol, hasnāt it? Hours, days, weeks, months! No worries about being topical. I often work on a mixture of āeverything but the kitchen sinkā and āthrowing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticksā when it comes to songs, since I go by feeling before more concrete things, so wherever your creativity takes you is fine!
Youāre right about āNot Your Kind of Peopleā having a creepy sound to it. Almost like a mixture of The Pixiesā āWhere Is My Mind?ā and Nirvanaās āHeart-Shaped Box,ā along with a few songs from the ending of Casper and Hocus Pocus - gives a very Alice in Wonderland edge thatās positively delightful! You achieve a similar sound with āQueenā (that songās perfect for an intro/ending credits accompaniment), actually, while the brass in āThe Man With the Golden Armā brightens up everything, taking it to a whole 'nother level. I really liked your choices, and can definitely see why they came to mind for you!
@xLOVEandDoomPatrolx - I adore how you began your post - the love and appreciation for comics and the creativity found therein are evident, as is the influence theyāve had in your life. Itās an honor to have been able to experience your mixtape with you! 'Tis a love letter if Iāve ever seen, and lists like that are why Iāve always been hesitant to restrict the amount of songs one can share.
When listening through them, I really found myself drawn to Betty Davisā āThey Say Iām Differentā for something that does a good job encapsulating this group from my perspective - beautifully appropriate, and adding a really nice bit of funk into the mix. But, at the same time, I like the way you seem to manage ācoolā things down periodically with songs like āLost in the Supermarket,ā āBad In My Head,ā āJāai JetĆ© Mon Coeur,ā and āBalloon.ā
Then, from an entirely different direction, you also do a lovely job mixing in the perfect amount of quirky by using the tempos and background instruments for songs like āPunk Rock Girl,ā āPata Pataā and āGo!ā I point out those because it all comes together to show just how well you know the characters, and the overall feel of Doom Patrol as a whole. So well that finding the perfect pieces is something that seems effortless for you, along with being a delight for the ears.
@LDFM - Hmm, I have a hard time choosing a favorite character in that bunch, or the show, in general. For that, Iād have to find one I relate to best, and Iāve yet to come across one that fits just right (although personality-wise, the closest is probably Jane, if Iām honest. Sometimes Iāll watch what she goes through and it feels oddly familiar). Thank you for asking and for sharing your badge idea, though! I love that, and will run that by the wonderful Applejack to see if itās possible.
@Razzzcat - That heat wasnāt playing around was it? Ugh, I hope things have improved where you at, at least! Staring at a snowman will have to be my go to for the future when I find myself glaring at the clouds for not adequately shielding the sun (can you tell I agree with you? Alas, yes, it IS the little things! )
Ah, I see what you mean about maintenance - I think, looking back, I conveniently left that out because of my personal aversion to it. Jokingly, Iām the horrible type wants to do things once, and they just stay as they are because I deem they should, so the idea of them painting the Gate Bridge on a daily basis has me going and already merging over into 
(vicarious depletion of my energy reserves, engaged, lol). But on a serious level, I agree with you. Oneās work is never done. As for that song, Iām seeing Cliff and Larry for that masterpiece.
