pov: devastating tunes that make you curl up into the fetal position with a bottle of whiskey

Any tropical house in a taxi after midnight.

Esp. "I Took A Pill In Ibiza"

"Walking on a Wire" - Richard and Linda Thompson

YMCA

Holocaust-Big Star

whitney - greatest love of all

america - daisy jane

eels - my timing is off

Tom Waits - Kentucky Avenue
Gravenhurst - The Ice Tree
The Memory Band - By The Time It Gets
Terry Callier - Lean On Me (for personal reasons. Fuck what a song.)
Richard Youngs - It Soon Will Be Fire (c'mon, it's about his dead dog)
Nico - The Falconer
Slowdive - Waves
Cat Power - Colors and the Kids

I don't drink whiskey, but I get the sentiment.

yeah would prob swap out the whiskey for a bag of crispy m&ms tbh

Was just reminded of:

The Chills - Pink Frost

ugk - one day

Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart

(explanation of the song by the subject's nephew, which is interesting, although tbqh I never found the song all that cryptic)

second over by p hammill and on raglan road from waaaay upthread.

joan armatrading - dry land, i know it’s not entirely tragic, but it’s *not quite there-ness* gets me. something about the hope.

and prefab sprout we let the stars go is slaying me rn but that may be for local reasons and will report back in ten years time to see if it still produces the whisky.
