Mix Annotations - My Body Has a Little Heat
Hi Friends!
As always, lots going on. Here's a taste:
Last week I bought a ~15-20lb bag of pineapple rinds off the Too Good To Go app and had to store it in my hotel shower.
I've been asked to wear a Spongebob Squarepants costume to a 5-year old's birthday party in the woods.
Unrelated, my niece's drawing of Patrick that everyone won't stop saying is "Serving C---" "Universal Basic Income" scans so well with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," but the title generator can't make it line up right.
I still haven't found the right moment to share this screenshot with the caption Solar-ASS, but maybe I will soon (though I did enjoy the movie well enough).
Nothing's making me laugh more than Lis referring to me as her "best guy friend."
Anyways, here’s the link to the latest mix: soundcloud.com/draiser2024/my-body-has-a-little-heat
ANNOTATIONS
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - The Night Isn't this what Jersey Boys was about? I didn't see it, but that's my guess.
Buck 65 - Super Dope I put this album on in the car and felt fine about it until Lis said "His songs are very repetitive." It's really something that I still remember so many lyrics from Secret House Against the World, and for what? For whom?
Luge - I'll Be Lucky Exclaim had a post for this and for a new Sluice song, and I was like, "Luge? Sluice? What's up with these names?!"
Ducktails - Forever Getting reminded about Ducktails is like getting reminded about someone from high school where you're like "Oh wow, I haven't thought about them in forever! And they're still alive?"
This Heat - "Sleep" I probably first heard of This Heat in an interview with the Women guys during press for their first album. Probably also when I first heard about DNA, but I could be conflating things.
Eddie Holman - Four Walls I think someone shared this on IG.
The Daughters of Eve - Hey Lover Spotify playlist.
Blossom Dearie - Somebody New Spotify playlist.
Margo Guryan - Why Do I Cry Spotify playlist. Honestly, I was on a girl group jag.
Tobacco City - America Probably also a spotify playlist. It's one heckuva earworm.
Peter Broderick - Losing My Taste for the Nightlife Wow, I'm addicted to Arthur Russel covers! Second mix in a row. Let's see if we make it three.
Kraftwerk - Ohm Sweet Ohm Close personal friends. I probably first heard Kraftwerk as a teenager while listening to an episode of The Ongoing History of New Music. In a way, it's so strange that I bought in and wasn't immediately freaked out. But I guess I'd heard Coldplay's "Talk" by then.
Skeeter Davis - The End of the World Tunefind says it was in The Flight Attendant and Mad Men, so could've been from there.
Masahiro Takahashi - Okinawa Sunset Just the scene, man.
P:ano - Hollow Stars Wow, I'm addicted to Nicholas Krgovich! Second mix in a row. Seeing that P:ano released a new song was a big day for me. I'm such a confirmed Krgobitch.
Colin Stetson - Passage Close personal friend.
Sylvester - Stormy Weather I think this album had just been getting reviewed a bunch? It's in the ether.
While space allows, I’m stashing my recent mixes and annotations in a Google Drive folder, which you can visit here: The Archive
:DRAISER 2024
As always, here's the link to this year's fundraiser. The goal is a modest $2024, but I will increase it if we go over. It would mean a lot to me if you considered donating: tinyurl.com/Draiser2024.
Even if you’ve already donated, please consider sharing it with your friends and family.
