everybody self-distancing from COVID-19, what's on your playlist?

There are dozens of recently created and terrible COVID / Coronavirus songs on spotify.

I slightly like this one

And from the depths of 1993, here's Denmarks very own Nice Device with Cool Corona (Could You Be Like Elvis):

I've hardly played any music at all the past two weeks. I took Automatic for the People with me my last trip into the city last week, and "Try Not to Breathe" sounded poignant and apropos. I spend more time watching DVDs and reading, though.

Not on my playlist per se, but a persistent earworm these last days: Scott Walker, "Cue".

i've not even been in the mood to listen but it's pretty much all morose metal at the moment.

and watching Bojack HOrseman

Honestly I haven’t been looking for funny or apposite choices (aphex “ventolin” would be one), I stuck on an official Spotify playlist titled “deep listening” that had a lot of faves - plight + premonition, cluster & eno, timeless (ecm not goldie) - plus a load of stuff I didn’t know but dug. It was absolutely the tonic

Today my connection started breaking up so I rebooted the firetv stick that I play music thru and played the first thing recommended by Spotify and it was Leonard Cohen, Everybody knows that the plague is coming/everybody knows it’s moving fast

Bad Religion "Infected"

Lol i was thinking of that one yesterday

Gimme Shelter, Ventilator Blues, Salt of the Earth, all seem pretty appropriate. (Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter.)

Also my brain keeps going, "Joe's got a cough/ sounds kinda rough."

Basically this, except in my room with headphones finally deep-diving into the NTS Sessions. Also Laurel Halo's Quarantine is pretty on-the-nose with that title, but its dystopian sci-fi vibes suit the times well.
