[ID: A black and white cartoony version of John Everett Millais' painting of Ophelia, but it's Garfield who is floating in the river. The majority of the image is rendered in thick black line with screentones that are quatrefoil patterns. Garfield is the only pop of colour, in his orange. Across part of the landscape above his floating body are the words "May 2024." End ID.]
Somehow I've gone through five months of playlists and not repeated any songs yet??? Spring has been weird and grey here, many days I can't see the mountains for the cloud. I love when I find a new band then whoops they've got several songs on one playlist - SPELLING names Minnie Riperton's Come to My Garden as an influence and last year's May playlist was crafted around a song of hers so it feels like a nice little circle there.
Related media to some of the songs:
- 'I Hope You Feel Terrible' is a single from Boy Jr.'s upcoming album and I'm sure it is going to influence the hell out of all following playlists.
- Ween's 'Your Party' just absolutely (yacht)rocks, and in no small part to them bringing David Sanbourn in on it - from a statement from Dean Ween in 2007: "... here has always been one provision to this rule, and that was we would only use horns if we could get David Sanborn to play some sexy saxophone on a Ween tune."
- I write these posts over drafts of the previous month and I am looking at the bullet point that says "The way things go I think songs from a playlist I picked up from a Fallout: New Vegas fan artist are in May" and I was right but also me listening to that playlist a bunch made the Spotify Daylist give me a playlist called "harmony 1930s friday late night" and I don't know why they're saying 1930s, that's--that's not correct. But it is a good chill vibes playlist so I saved it to listen to a bunch
