Can I keep it up?
second playlist of november… can i keep it up?????
Wilddddddd……… this is the second newsletter of november. i am actually gonna stick with it. anyway, for october its been so chilly in the bay area. i am dreading when it’s actually winter here bc i know it will be million times colder. i recently bought an oscilloscope so that i could connect it to my record player. i can’t say it’ll make the music sound better (it won’t) but when connected right you can get visuals of the music playing. think way back when on the windows media player that had the sound visualizer. anywho, i’m a fucking nerd about this, but idc i am so excited to get it working. i am missing one part, which i am hoping to pick up tomorrow.
you can say this was my one last birthday gift to myself LMAO already in the middle of november (it’s still scorpio szn sooooo). no the real last gift i got myself was a photography book that i have been lusting over for the past two years. it is the Lucha Libre: The Family Portraits by Lourdes Grobet, one of my favorite photographers. it is supposed to come today so i am very excited about it. i will share pics in the next newsletter!
about the playlist.
i’ve had these songs on repeat since the last newsletter. you can’t go wrong with the rolling stones i’ve also had this song kinda stuck in my head for the past 3 weeks now. And then the Sophie Thatcher cover of knockin’ on heaven’s door— tooooooo good. i saw heretic and this cover is part of the soundtrack. i enjoyed the movie, not my favorite, but it was interesting. not scary at all mostly psych thriller. I Got Heaven by Mannequin Pussy, when she sings “And what if Jesus himself ate my fucking snatch? And what if I'm an angel?” LOVEEEEEEEEEE ITTTT. That’s my favorite part tbh. I love disco and i love ABBA what can i say??? Also love Queen and The Proclaimers. Their songs got stuck in my head while i was driving to work/home. Jerkin’ by Amyl and The Sniffers!!! I have been thinking about these foos for a hot minute. they are bringing something that has been missing from music. when i first heard these foos back in 2022 I was like okay they’re eventually gonna blow up and I am happy they did. Louis Armstrong….. in honor of falling down on the sidewalk in New Orleans two years ago LMAO Labi Siffre, i was listening to this album this morning while getting ready. i would recommend this as a morning/getting ready album. LASTLY, an oldie but goldie….. Constant Headache by Joyce Manor….. I listened to this song for an hour straight on sunday… these lyrics…
You having sex in the morning
Your love was foreign to me.
It made me think maybe
Human's not such a bad thing to be.
But I just laid there in protest
Entirely fucked.
It's such a stubborn reminder
One perfect night's not enough.
Anyway! ENJOYYYYY!<3
