Day 13: A song for winter
Jetone - Aerial Red
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx7FTar2KXA

There's something about the sound of this Tim Hecker tech house side project that just makes me think of cold air. Like the air in the recording is itself cold.

missed a few days, just gonna stick to the ones I hit now tho

Day 12: A song that makes you want to dance
T++ - Dig
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=516f-Xg2m_I

The way this is put together with all sorts of weirdness to different elements is so great. But it still is steady and an easy to follow groove, with enough umph to make you want to follow. or at least that's how it is for me.

Day 11: A song you'd like played at your funeral
The Lakes of Pontchartrain - Be Good Tanyas

I was going to choose a classical song but no...I decided I want a country funeral with this beautiful version of "The Lakes of Pontchartrain".
ps: geez their accent, I didn't know Canadians could sound like that 🤣
I love it btw, please send the Good Tanyas to my funeral!

Day 5: A song for summer
Cybele's reverie - Stereolab
Bliss

Day 6: A song you like from a movie or TV show you like
Ramona - Beck
Incridible how ramona used to be my favorite song of all time, these days I even forget it is glued to my phone's library, maybe because I put it as alarm clock, NEVER EVER DO THAT TO YOUR BELOVED SONG, Antonio's advice. Also the whole Scott Pilgrim OST is worth checking out (Includes: Beck, Cornelius, and fuckin Broken social scene as that punk band)

Day 7: A song that reminds you of childhood
Dakota - Stereophonics
This reminds me of my nights playing PES in my bedroom, trying to figure out how to deal with my team with only 5 million bucks, the players even wanted a raise, loved those nights, miss those nights.

Day 8: An ideal ringtone song
Caesars - Jerk It Out
If I was a businessman after a long day, and having strawberry milkshake this would be the perfect match.

Day 9: The most recent song to be seriously stuck in your head
Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales - Car Seat Headrest
KILLER WHAAAAAALES
KILLER WHAAAAAAALES
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH OOOOOOOOOOOH
AAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAH AH AH AH

Day 10: A song you'd like to play at your wedding (or a favorite that you already did play at your wedding)
Where Damage Isn't Already Done - The Radio Dept.
If I ever manage to find my perfect soul mate, this will be playing while we dance on the room, some mixed 60s and robot dance, damn, dreams will never happen ;-;

Day 11: A song you'd like played at your funeral
V. Universe - Mount Eerie

Day 10: A song you'd like to play at your wedding (or a favorite that you already did play at your wedding)
Verranno A Chiederti Del Nostro Amore - Fabrizio De Andrè

I guess that many of u don't speak italian but this song is amazing, Fabrizio is amazing...and u can feel it.
This song speaks about love and hypocrisy, probably nobody would choose this song for a wedding but not me, it helps to keep my eyes wide open...
I don't want to write down a translation here but I can pm a "paraphrase" if u are interested 😄

Day 8: An ideal ringtone song

batman forever soundtrack was my jam. this is where I fell in love with multitracked vocals I think. can't really get down with it anymore but it makes me remember being 10 when I hear it.

ayyy Batman Forever nerds unite *cool secret handshake*

Day 6: A song you like from a movie or TV show you like
Masahiko Sato - Take It Easy
Masahiko Sato's drugged-out soundtrack for Kanashimi no Belladonna is one of my favorite film scores of all time and is a big part of why Belladonna is one of my absolute favorite films of all time. I could've picked plenty of tracks from the thing but this piece of weird psychedelic jamming with all it's oddball percussion and i don't even know what else has so much personality and manages to suck you in with how unafraid it is to be just way fucking out there. Appropriate that this track in particular accompanies a beautiful surreal orgy (kinda looks like what you might see if you mixed a fuckload of LSD with just a hint of viagra)

Day 7: A song that reminds you of childhood
Ummmmmmm I didn't want to put this but whenever I think of music that reminds me of childhood this is inevtably the first thing to pop into my head
...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZdzY9TGu1c

Day 8: An ideal ringtone song
Prince - Raspberry Beret
The last thing I want to do is reduce this masterpiece to a ringtone track, but I mean if every time someone called me I got to hear this hook make love to my soul I would stop resenting having to talk to random strangers with wrong numbers. Shit I'm off to make this ringtone right now...

Day 6: A song you like from a movie or TV show you like:
Elliott Smith - Between The Bars from "Stuck in Love".
This movie introduced me to Elliot Smith, when the guy played Elliot's song inside the car I almost cried.
I chose this video because is absolutely essential, I mean just Elliot playing inside a kitchen...
Day 7: A song that reminds you of childhood:
The Beatles - I've Just Seen A Face
My father bought the vinyl copy of "Help" before I was born, so that was one of my first musical discoveries.
This song has something special, it reminds me a lot of lovely moments.

Day 1: A song that makes you smile: Polaroid by Sympathy Nervous
Try as I might I can't possibly sing along to this. I don't know robot or Japanese and this is both...
Day 2: A song you’re currently obsessed with: Blue Crystal Fire by Robbie Basho
Robbie Basho was just supposed to be some american primitivist guitarist but no he is actually Making Me Cry & Feel Spiritual.
Day 3: A song that reminds you of a friend:Leaving On A Jetplane covered by Sherri Dupree
Day 4: A song you'd love to hear live: Genesis by Grimes
I would literally die at the first note...no seriously it might actually be too much for me. I really think I would cry a little bit!
Day 5: A song for summer: Molasses by Aye Nako
This was The Song last summer too so I guess it is just gonna stay The Song.
Day 6: A song you like from a movie or TV show you like: all the singing from The Cloud-Capped Star
This character was so beautiful and his singing was even more beautiful. this movie will change your life btw.
Day 7: A song that reminds you of childhood: Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne

Ennio Morricone - Valmont's GoGo Pad

Ennio Morricone soundtracks are so good from this era, and this movie is great trashy fun as well.

Fun idea!

Day 1: A song that makes you smile
When You're Smiling - Louis Prima: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXYRkp2HZto
This literally makes me smile every time I listen to it.

Day 2: A song you’re currently obsessed with (skipping for now)

Day 3: A song that reminds you of a friend:
Friend of a Friend: Dave Grohl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyU5mi3OWxo
When I moved away a friend of mine found this gym and put it on a mix tape for me as a good bye, but thanks to the internet we are still best friends 16 years later.

Day 4: A song you'd love to hear live (or hear live again)
Mussorgsky - Night On Bald Mountain... last time I heard it I was like 10 and it was by a week symphony... This at with the LA Phil at Disney Hall please, or to witness this recording with Leonard Bernstein and the NY Phil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCEDfZgDPS8

Also I am sad I missed the opportunity to see R.E.M. before they broke up.

Day 5: A song for summer
Hot Fun in the Summertime - Sly and the Family Stone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tCc--3xw10

I think of this song every time I have a great summer day.

Day 4: A song you'd love to hear live (or hear live again)
Regina Spektor - Samson
I'd love to stay close to the stage, listening to her beautiful voice and looking at her beautiful smile while she sings one of my favorite songs.
Day 5: A song for summer
Stealing - Lilies on Mars
They define themselves on their FB profile as "Cosmic pop", I'd add the word "ethereal" and this last word represent perfectly my latest idea of summer: I've been flying over things and if I look back I can't say if they were just a dream.
The summer for me is fleeting, delicate, almost as light as air.
I met one of these girls a few weeks ago, they're from Sardinia but I'm sure she came from another dimension...

playin catch up

Day 1: A song that makes you smile
Odion Iruoje - Aro Affair (Crazy Scene)
https://soundwayrecords.bandcamp.com/track/aro-affair-crazy-scene

I don't even know what to say about this, it is just demented.

Day 2: A song you’re currently obsessed with
Young Thug - Kanye West
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAhNZO7Fwd0

I haven't really kept up with the pop stuff, or hip hop, honestly a lot of the trends that have been going on haven't felt like they're for me, and that's even how I've felt about other Young Thug I've heard. This just feels undeniably catchy and breezy the whole way through, really dig the whole release but this song is especially striking for the wamp-wamp/wet-wet stuff. I dig it.

Day 3: A song that reminds you of a friend
Marcy's Playground - Sex And Candy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KT-r2vHeMM

In the middle school carpool, there was always a debate about this song when it would come on the radio. Robert was always insisting that the line "casting devious stares in my direction" was in fact something to do with erections.

Day 4: A song you'd love to hear live (or hear live again)
Jacques Lejeune - anything from blanche niege
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ma8X4ZeTe0

This was a soundtrack to some kind of weird dance performance thing of snow white, I bet that would have been cool to see.

Day 5: A song for summer
Guerilla Toss - Grass Shack (Giant Claw Remix)
https://guerillatoss.bandcamp.com/track/grass-shack-giant-claw-remix

This has been a big part of my summer, this whole ep is like way better than any Guerilla Toss or Giant Claw thing I've heard from them separately. But having Giant Claw build crazy elaborate structures around Kassie Carlson's vocals makes for the perfect delivery for both the hyper-artificial synthesis of the clawman and the exaggerated qualities of Carlson's vocals.
