An Alterna-Darlingside Mixtape
The band Darlingside itself is much like a mixtape– a well-groomed sequence of discrete moving parts. On our Q&A page, a thoughtful fan recently inquired, “If you were a character from Lord of the Rings, who would you be and why?” This week, in honor of that well-considered query, We present a mix of Alterna-Darlingside ensembles…

Harris as Smeagol/Gollum (talks to self).
Auyon as Treebeard (beard, earthiness).
Sam as Samwise Gamgee (name, wisdom).
Don as Gandalf (height, age).
Dave as Frodo (eyes, disappearance).
2. Disney Princesses
Harris as Sleeping Beauty (sleep schedule).
Don as Snow White (opacity).
Sam as Jasmine (drum rug= flying carpet).

3. Uncanny X-Men
