[all words from the poem To a Friend by Nikiforos Vrettakos, translated into English by Kimon Friar. Images, except the last, are all screenshots I got myself from, in order: All In Texas 2025, PWG THIRTEEN, NXT #394, AEW Dynamite 4/26/2023, AEW Collision 12/25/2025, and The Conglomeration entrance video. The last photo is from the AEW photo section, from Dynamite 3/11/2026.]
I would love to see a mixtape with the theme of Daniel Garcia trying to find his place within the Death Riders/working out who he is within their hierarchy
[from a second ask] got overeager, did not finish my prompt. I like folk, indie rock, and women artists who use a collective noun for their solo act. I can't imagine this will be an issue, but no operatic sopranos/super high pitched stuff pls.
(if you want to request a playlist/mixtape of your own, read the OG post here)
Hey, Sarahcakes! I'm not exactly an expert on Danny and/or the DR, but I came up with a mix I'm actually quite pleased with (many thanks to those in the Jar who filled me in) :) I hope you enjoy it!
Link to it solo // link to it on my fanmixes page. Tracklist + explanations under the cut. :)
1.) Oh Death - Noah Gundersen
The moment DG betrays Darby and joins the DR…whether literally, or when he decided to in his heart. "When Death and all His angels find you // will you call out?" No turning back, though; "no going home".
2.) Freedom Song - The La's
I saw a lot of the DR philosophy in this song that DG is perhaps being told. "All this world seems bent upon // contemplating Babylon", "I'm not scared to die, God help me // we went to the same schools and // all learned the same rules of lament", "the knot will never come undone // accidents show mercy none // there isn't anywhere to run"…
3.) There Is No Remaining In Place - Dragonfly Collector
The initiation montage song, LOL. Also the first song that directly deals with DG's desire to be important in something bigger, to have purpose SOMEhow. "How I smile as I follow a trail // when the ascent lights up a soul // there is no remaining in place"
4.) Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes
TBH this is THE DG song of the mix for me (in the narrative, him reflecting/justifying himself I think). Easier to say what DOESN'T apply to Danny here (esp. since I lightly cut this version down LOL). "What good is it to sing helplessness blues? // why should I wait for anyone else?" Note as well the ending line "someday I'll be like the man on the screen"…hmm.
5.) Tear Down the House - The Avett Brothers
Short (esp since I ALSO edited this one) lttle song about burning the past. "I have no memory of who I once was // and I don't remember your name".
6.) Gen-X Cops - Vampire Weekend
Training montage! The life of a Death Rider ain't an easy one, especially at the sort of bottom of the ladder…but DG's learning. WHAT he's learning? "It wasn't built for me // It's your academy // But in my time, you taught me how to see // Each generation makes its own apology".
7.) In From Japan - Madison Cunningham
The ambivalence song. He got what he wanted re: having a place at something more…right? "No one's holding you back now"…yet " A phone line from the future // Calls to say, "You're gonna mess it up again // My friend". Also, I like it better IMO with the fact that according to Cagematch DG's never actually worked Japan.
8.) Man Like You - Tom Misch
"I knew a man who got lost in the big dark blue // And came out alive". But is it the man on the screen…the men at the head of the pack…or the man in the mirror?
islamic republic is the starting another war but you will never see any “activists” hold “no war” demonstrations now. So what happened is war a good thing only when the terrorist regime starts it? Where are those hypocrites pretending to care about children and human rights and what not???
