I've been writing recently which I have done off and on for a bit. Everyone likes to think they have some skill at writing, and I don't want to say that I'm like. Good or anything. But it's scratching the itch and I don't think I'm horrible either.

I will say that I like to make playlists- it's fun, it's creative, you go into it with an idea and end up with a soundtrack. It's good.

1. X-men, 4. A Rake, A Sock. Honor.

Ooh, fun!

I don’t often do X-men but it is always fun to make Scott Summers suffer, so:

“Care to explain?” Scott asks, eyeing the miscreants with a garnet stare.

One mutant in bare feet and pyjama pants, one sock on, brandishing a rake like a sword.  One with half a tree’s worth of leaves tangled in her hair, in a nightgown and pink fuzzy slippers.  If only the Humans First movement could see them  now.

“It was a duel of honour,” Ororo says.  A brief, sharp wind picks up and frees her from her leafy crown, sending bits of leaf and twig directly into Scott’s face.

“Obviously,” adds Kurt.

Prompted by @wolfiso, and now you don't have to wonder, you can know for certain. Miss Piggy would listen to this:

Have you tried standing on your head for 17 minutes while singing God Save the Queen and then soaking your feet in tomato soup for an hour?

(In sincerity: a dislocated rib sounds awful. Hope you find some way to stay comfortable until either it passes or you get an actual solution)

Playing God by Polyphia is probably a very disarming first Prog Rock song- I know Polyphia fills more of a Math Rock niche and this song is heavy on Spanish Guitar influence, but it's pretty chill and aurally interesting, as well as being an instrumental track, letting you get a feel for genre without having to contend with lyrics.

Probably the best slam dunk for an accessible song for an unfamiliar listener is Cupid (Twin Remix) by 50-50. It's a kpop song entirely in english, which is a good foray for a newbie.

Meth and Mary by Armani Caesar is probably a bit more challenging, as a song about, you know, holding your man's drugs if he's pulled over by the cops. and while White by Odd Future ft. Frank Ocean is a very easy to grok song, I think Odd Future as a collective is a bit too gestalt for a lot of people's musical tastes, and is a rabbit hole I wouldn't start someone on if they liked stuff like Tyler, Frank, etc. Someone asked me if Frank Ocean is part of Odd Future why he is "featured" on the song and I had to sit and think for a second to explain it lol
