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.” ↩

1. Regina Spektor vibes ↩
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?” ↩

In theory we’re approaching spring, but given that it snowed a few days ago, it doesn’t particularly feel like it.

1. I just really love Allison Scagliotti, okay? ↩
2. Apple Music recommended this, and then I wound up listening to The Fray’s entire first album and realizing that there’s only like two tracks on there that I don’t know by heart. ↩
3. I miss Majik… ↩
4. Kinda fun having both versions of Funeral on this playlist, it’s a bit like a ‘drop the needle’ quiz. ↩

Definitely didn’t write 2021 in the year there at first. Nope. Not at all.

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. ↩

Posting a bit later in the day than usual, because I’ve been away from the internet for a few days, and didn’t plan far enough ahead to get this ready ahead of time. Happy new year!

1. Frankly amazed that I managed to find this link, with a title like that. Feels like it’d be pretty immune to search engines. ↩
2. Favorite find this month; excellent for singing along to. ↩
3. Weirdly Christmas-y, for a song about a funeral. ↩

Happy December! Go get your booster shot!

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.” ↩

There’s a few tracks in here that are very clearly “yes, it is now time for Fall Music.”

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. ↩

For reasons, I’m no longer doing tech posts, but I am continuing my playlist posts. Because music!

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. ↩

If my spate of “here’s some photos instead of writing something” posts weren’t a hint, I have had a very busy month. Gotta make time for music, though!

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? ↩

This month has been very long, and terrifyingly hot. Nobody tell me that it’s August now, I don’t want to think about that yet.

1. But seriously, if Burnham doesn’t win an Emmy for Inside, I… don’t know what I’ll do, really. Disregard the entire concept of the Emmys for the future, I suppose. ↩
2. I’ve yet to tune in to the entirety of the lyrics here, but the bits I do listen to feel about right for the title, which I like. ↩
3. “… where the normal people are. But don’t worry: I’m going to help you hide the fact that you’re high as shit.” ↩
4. My taste in music, at the moment, is definitely Very Autotune on the vocals. ↩
5. Definitely my favorite new addition this month; kinda reminds me of the Westworld theme. ↩

This month, Dolby Atmos suddenly became a thing in the streaming music world, and I’ve been having fun with it! If you can, give it a try, it’s neat. (Admittedly, most of the discernible difference is just a matter of “this is a nice remaster,” but still.)

Distorted Light Beam – Bastille on Distorted Light Beam – Single

1. if I listen to Majik enough, will they come back? I can dream ↩
2. “Some people call me six-lack” ↩
3. It’s really neat living in the future, because this song popped into my head the other day, and I just announced to the air that I wanted to hear it, and then, suddenly, there it was. ↩
4. This feels like my childhood, but in a way that doesn’t evoke nostalgia, somehow? It’s a very strange feeling, but I quite like it. ↩
5. I really enjoyed this whole album; I think Talata is my favorite, just because it’s the weirdest. ↩
6. I think this is the best Atmos remaster I’ve listened to so far. ↩
7. “This sounds like demons trying to tell you something.” – my sister ↩
8. This sounds like it shouldn’t be possible, what with the pandemic still ongoing, but it’s a delightful piece of music. ↩
9. If you haven’t yet watched Inside on Netflix, I heartily recommend it — it’s an incredible work of art. The fact that I got this song out of it, which is one of my favorites this month, is a nice plus. ↩

Save Me – Majik on It’s Alright / Save Me – Single⁶

1. “You were an honest mistake.” oof. ↩
2. I also quite like the music video, it’s a nice counterpart to the song. ↩
3. “It tasted like Thomas Malthus.” is a truly excellent line. Really, all the lyrics in here are great. ↩
4. This whole thing feels like he just hit record and did the entire vocal track in one go, and then filled in the music afterwards. Very improvisational feel. ↩
5. Really enjoying this whole EP, in case you can’t tell by the way I’ve got the entire thing on this playlist. ↩
6. I miss Majik so much, and I hope the guys that used to be the band are doing well. ↩

Very nearly didn’t get this written up on time; I had a rough time of it with the vaccine side effects, but I’m thankfully through it now. And vaccinated! Get a vaccine, folks – a day of feeling like crap is better than getting covid, and better than giving someone else covid.

Something Just Like This – The Chainsmokers & Coldplay on Something Just Like This

1. Really fun to sing along to, but I keep winding up in the wrong key if I try to sing it without the music. Not sure what’s going on there. ↩
2. One day I want to arrange an a cappella cover of this, because it just seems like it’d be a fun challenge. ↩
3. Still amused by the coincidence of these two being in a row. ↩
4. If you haven’t watched the video yet, you really should. It’s great. ↩
5. Hey, that new Spider-Man game is fun! Really suffers from the very-overdone “Spider-Man can’t let his loved ones find out he’s Spider-Man” thing, but still, fun gameplay. ↩
6. Apparently “Of Monsters and Men” is my Moving Soundtrack? ↩
7. Realized as I was putting this playlist together that I’ve been misreading the artist as “Teflon Saga” this whole time. ↩
8. Very ‘80s vibes to this one, it’s quite fun. ↩
9. Favorite addition this month. ↩
10. A nice acoustic kind of cover. ↩

This has been the kind of month that managed to go by in the blink of an eye, and also lasted approximately a year and a half.

1. Between this and DON’T TELL THE BOYS I’ve apparently stumbled across subgenre of all-caps… whatever these two are grouped as. They go together, I just can’t think of a name for the group. ↩
2. Fun fact: every time this plays, I briefly get “come with me… and you’ll be… in a world of pure imagination” stuck in my head. ↩
3. Top pick this month! ↩
4. If you’ve seen it, you know what song this is. If you haven’t, don’t click! It’ll be much more fun that way. ↩
5. This is why RLNDT is back on the list, a bit further down – reminded me of it. ↩
6. This whole album is very good, but I’ve found that I have to be in the mood for Mogwai. ↩
7. This little Imogen Heap section brought to you by this video. ↩
8. This is a really excellent cover because it’s completely different from the original. ↩
9. Shawn James is just a whole mood sometimes, y’know? ↩

I’ve had a very eventful month, which combined with this being the shortest month, has made the whole thing feel like a whirlwind.

High Beams (feat. slowthai) – Flume & HWLS on Hi This Is Flume (Mixtape)

1. Genuinely shocked to realize this is first appearing in this list; feels like it’s been around for longer than that. I absolutely love this song, for the record. Also, its wikipedia page is great – there’s a whole section of music theory nerdery. ↩
2. Angel has been in my lists since July of 2019, and I’m Worried About You feels like a strong contender to take its place. ↩
3. This is one of those songs that feels a little different every time I listen to it. The other day I listened to it with headphones in and the volume up high for the first time, and there was a whole other bass line that I hadn’t noticed before. I love stuff like that. ↩
4. 28 years. Dang. ↩
5. Between Amends and Daisy we’re thoroughly over-quota on upsetting album art. ↩
6. I haven’t watched the documentary yet, but it’s on my list. ↩
7. In the past few months, Apple got rid of their “search Apple Music” tool and replaced it with “search All The Apple Stores.” Which is, usually, annoying, because the search isn’t paginated and only returns so many results, so occasionally finding a song is very difficult because the song doesn’t make it into the results ahead of a bunch of TV shows or whatever. This time, I had to keep trying different search terms, because I kept getting bodice-rippers from the iBook Store. ↩
