Playlist of the Month: July 2022

Writing this up in the midst of a heatwave has me feeling like this playlist should be either more summer-y, or go in the complete opposite direction and have a bunch of winter music to remind myself that the heat won’t last forever.

  1. The title of this one occasionally makes my brain jump to Major Tom.
  2. Discovered courtesy of my roommate’s Spotify algorithm. This came on in the car, and after a minute, he just said “yodelstep!”
  3. I’ve spent several months occasionally getting a single word of this stuck in my head. “Tanqueray”, even with the little melodic riff going on in it, isn’t enough for Shazam to figure out what song you mean.
  4. Putting this together I finally went “okay, yeah, it’s worth it” and added two entire albums of his music to my library. I absolutely love this track.
  5. This is what happens when you combine the cover of Charlie Brown with a song titled Magic earlier in the playlist.

Playlist of the Month: June 2022

Apropos of… something, how about you go see how your senator feels about filibuster reform, and then give them a call and either say “thanks for thinking we should reform this!” or “we desperately need to fix this horrible broken system.”

  1. Sufjan Stevens has a very specific musical vibe, and a very specific album art vibe, and they are not the same vibe.
  2. I should start tuning into the lyrics, I really think Danielson is just out here writing and performing entire musical theatre productions.
  3. Absolutely love both Aquilo and Fyfe & Iskra Strings, so this is a great collaboration.
  4. I’d forgotten how much I like EDEN; this sounds new and also absolutely like EDEN.
  5. Really reminds me of Steve Reich, at least the opening.

Underneath – Hayden Calnin on Something / Anything – EP

  1. I know, I know, I’m very late to this album, but as it turns out, it’s still very good!
  2. Whilst thoroughly explicit, I still love this – the backing vocals are just beautiful and haunting, and it all comes together so, so well.
  3. Having just moved from the suburbs into the actual city, this song felt strangely appropriate. (Ignoring that the city I moved to definitely isn’t ‘the land of a billion lights.’)
  4. Absolutely loving this whole album. Yoste is starting to fill the hole in my heart left by Majik disappearing.
  5. “To truly understand love, switch positions”

I had COVID this month, and let me tell you, as a young, healthy, vaccinated-and-boosted person: it sucked. Get vaccinated—it may not keep you from getting it, but “a couple days of fever and a couple weeks of coughing” is a lot better than I would’ve done without the vaccine.

Antidote – Chloe Ament on Broken Bodies, Broken Hearts – EP

  1. This is one of those songs that I find via Apple Music suggesting it, and then a few days later start seeing it in Instagram stories. There’s probably some kind of connection there, but it’s a “this song is about to be popular” kind of thing, and not an “omg my phone is spying on me!!1!” thing.
  2. Really digging the new Yoste this month.
  3. Possibly my favorite addition this month? Don’t mind me, just very late to this album.
  4. Getting this album into Apple Music took some doing. If you start getting an error talking about Genius (a feature that no longer exists), the actual fix is “sign out of iTunes, quit, relaunch, sign back in.”

  2. “Hey, my music isn’t all sad British hipsters with laptops! … some of them are Australian.”
  3. One day I’m gonna have to search my own playlist archives and see how often I say “I miss Majik,” because it’s a lot.
  4. Brought back in because I’m updating my CPR certification, and we always called the CPR dummies “Annie” for whatever reason. Arrive at the scene, do the initial check: “Annie are you okay?”

  1. This cover hits surprisingly hard – “Lights will guide you home/and ignite your bones/and I will try to fix me” is such a small change, but wow does it change the song.
  2. Jónsi’s music remains simultaneously wonderful and achingly lonely
  3. God I miss Majik.
  4. I like this song, but I can’t read the name without my mind immediately going to “If I Die Young” instead.
  5. It’s taken me a while to listen this whole album, but it’s excellent!
  6. Listen, sometimes you just have to blast some music from your childhood and sing along at the top of your lungs.
  7. If it weren’t for the Fix You cover, this might win for “most sing-along-able” song this month.

  1. Kinda reminds me of The Sunken Cathedral and I want to know if that’s deliberate.
  2. One day I’m gonna pull this track and reverse it – I’m very curious if it’s the backing track from Don’t Tell the Boys played backwards.
  3. May or may not have spent half an hour listening to this over and over, being impressed by The Weeknd’s vocal talent.
  4. Listen to the Atmos version, it’s neat!
  5. Occasionally I really like something in this style.
  6. Really enjoying this find, because you can totally hear bits of the song that made their way into other tracks later in their career.
  7. I’d love to talk with the artist, I want to know if the Quiet City reference here is deliberate. Given the title and that it sounds like it, I have to think it is!
  8. Bringing this one back because I just love the lyrics. “Nevermind ‘thou shalt not kill,’ we’re dealing now with infidels.”

Sumarið sem aldrei kom – Jónsi on Shiver9

  1. The album art here keeps making me think of “Meddling Kids”.
  2. Woodkid’s music is usually pretty cinematic in feel, and this is no difference. If you’ve ever got an opportunity for a sword fight with a vampire in a cathedral, this is the perfect backing track.
  3. Sometimes, when I’m getting these links, I search for “better off as strangers aquilo a safe place to be” and iTunes goes “lol never heard of her” and other times I search for “infinity coldplay” and it gets exactly what I want.
  4. Found this via a YouTube video about the Christchurch earthquake, of all things
  5. I’d love to talk to Benjamins about this one – between the name and the opening piano bit, there’s a lot that feels very Debussy about this.
  6. I’m delighted by this title, because the music in this sounds exactly like a ton of the music I listened to growing up. Chef’s kiss.
  7. This is the most Fall Music of everything on the list, I think.
  8. This just made it onto the list at the end of the month, but it very much feels like one that I’ll do a lot of singing along to once I know it.
  9. Another reappearance from last year; I just love the feeling of space in this.

  1. “Oh my god, it’s Let It Rock!”
  2. I think this might be a seasonal thing, this goes really well with rainy days.
  3. I dig the album art, it’s got “Mystery Machine” vibes.
  4. Texted this to the friend who originally introduced it to me with a “thanks for sharing, it’s great!” kind of thing, and now iOS 15 shows it to him with “shared by Grey.” Stealing valor isn’t cool, iOS.
  5. I’m really enjoying this whole album. Hayden Calnin is great.

Mt. St. Helens

If you’re looking at that and thinking “hey, that looks like a lot of mountain to climb,” you’re right! It is a lot of mountain to climb, and from that angle, you can’t see the half of it. (Literally.)

It’s an interesting hike, in three sections – the woodsy bit at the bottom, the bouldering bit in the middle, and the ash fields at the top.

This last photo was from the bouldery bit, but you can see a wash of the ash fields extending down in the back there.

But now, dear reader, I must admit to you that I didn’t make it to the summit; I got as far as the ash fields and realized that, if I tried to continue on to the top, I’d wind up replacing my “I went on a cool hike!” story with an “I went on a ride in a Forestry Service rescue helicopter” story.

One day, I’ll be back. And hey, it was a cool hike! Anywhere with signage like this is going to be a cool hike.

Higher Power – Coldplay on Music of the Spheres

  1. This was an excellent musical choice for how it was used in Black Widow.
  2. Much like the song, I woke up, sat bolt upright in bed, and started singing this. Incredibly catchy.
  3. Some lovely Novo Amor, but tempered by the other artists, so it doesn’t immediately crush you with The Sadness.
  4. “Don’t you want to see your sister again? Her life’s a wreck, but she was cool back then.” – sent to my sister, thanks to the “share lyrics” thing in Music.
  5. I think Hayden Calnin is the most lyrically interesting artist I’m listening to at the moment. Good stuff!
  6. Probably my single favorite new one this month; I can’t figure out what song it’s making me nostalgic for, but it’s definitely doing it.
  7. Very cinematic in feeling; is there a reverse “what song is in this show?” site so I can look up what shows wind up using this song?

Tubbs Hill

I was in Coeur d’Alene a while back, and had the chance to go for a hike around Tubbs Hill. If you’re ever in the area, I recommend it – it’s a nice little hike, and there’s some great views along the way.

Silver Falls

This weekend, I am attending a wedding and then moving; in place of my usual weekly words, please enjoy a couple photos I took at Silver Falls State Park.
