sorry this is a little bit late.

I definitely want...

Laughing Gas by The Fratellis

played at my wedding, this song has become almost a personality trait for me since it came out in 2018. This song speaks to me in a way very few songs songs have, I would go so far as to say this song has saved my life. I wouldn't marry someone who wouldn't at least let me put this at least in the wedding playlist.

"So, darling, break out the laughing gas You and I know this joke soon will pass Give me your last request And I'll see what I can do To paint your grey skies blue Before I pass That's all I ask Break out the laughing gas"

while im here might as well lol

ok THIS was hard, I don't listen to many songs without lyrics. So after very little consideration because there honestly just weren't that many contenders. And the contenders were honestly out of one of the tracks i remixed last year and 3 TWRP songs...

Typhoon Turnpike by TWRP and Trey Magnifique

This song won out because a. it's a funky track that wouldn't sound out of place in a mariokart game, and b. it's actually available to the public haha.

Listen here... Spotify YouTube

Been unwell :(

BUT DAY SEVEN! I really wish this was a category that I could put One Week by Barenaked Ladies in.

But you want a song that makes me feel sad? WELL BUDDY, LET ME TELL YOU THIS IS THE HARDEST ONE SO FAR. I seriously listen to a lot of music that makes me sad.

Before I tell you what it is though, a huge disclaimer for people suffering mentally, this is not the type of sad music that makes you feel better after listening...

This Isn't The End by Owl City

I do not think I've actually listened to this song all the way through in about 5 years because it always makes me cry, like full-on tears. Fuck.

Torture yourself Listen here... Spotify YouTube

Six I think is the only number you can spell twice and get the amount of letters that match the number.

uhh moving on... DAY SIX, end of the first row and a song that make me happy? well there are PLENTY of contenders for this but one that never fails to brighten up my day is

Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader/King Harvest/Baha Men and many other covers, alongside the original, of this delightful Boffalongo song.

I put this on 'most every night.

Considering I'm putting so many versions on here, it's just YouTube links this time. The OG Boffalongo version isn't on Spotify. And they will be listed in chronological order...

Boffalongo (OG)

King Harvest (First commercial success)

Baha Men (these guys did Who Let The Dogs Out?)

Toploader (First commercial success in the UK)

It took me until today to realise that not of the links i posted actually worked. I am still getting used to using tumblr.

Onto today's song there's plenty of songs that make me but the one that's got me up and dancing recently is...

Roll the Old Chariot Along by The Dreadnoughts

it's just really fun and catchy tbqh.

Listen... YouTube Spotify

so im trying out playlist curation. just making playlist based on my hyperfixations and such.

my first one is my favourite songs from 2023. Listen here.

A song that needs to be played loud? I can think of no better choice than...

Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis

A song I consider essential for a good night out.

And today we're going for summer! Summer is too hot for me generally, especially the last few years. But my choice for today is...

Pissed Off by Reel Big Fish

this is just how i feel for most of the summer tbh.

I have returned! For another day of (hopefully) spreading some cool music for those of you who happen upon this blog.

Todays topic is a song with a number in it, I had three contenders for this one but only one could be victorious. And that song is...

2 Bed, 2 Bath (and a Ghost) by Bug Hunter.

When my Grandad died back in 2022 it hit me hard. When I discovered this song a few months after, it helped me to begin processing the grief that came with it.

the only challenge is getting my brain to remember to come back every day. Anyways as I'm starting today, my challenge is a song i like with a colour in the title.

I'm not sure if it counts but "Pinot Noir" by Lost in Vancouver springs to mind. Noir, of course, being fr*nch for black.

If it doesn't, then the other one that jumps forward is "Ole Black 'n' Blue Eyes" by The Fratellis.

I actually own 2 copies of the etched Ole Black 'n' Blue Eyes EP.
