Songs of the Week 09/19

Songs of the Week
September 16-23


This week has been all out of wack thanks to the Pisces moon, I've been crazy pensive and these songs go perfect for anyone who has also been feeling this way. It was also my birthday on the 16th so shoutout to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. 

Steppin' Razor - Sublime
I was listening to Sublime heavy in the beginning of summer with my best friend Sydney in the park on my little JBL speaker, this ska heavy band makes the best 'off-beat' on beat sounds that I have ever heard. I like that some of there songs don't follow a certain rhythm and Steppin' Razor is probably one of my top Sublime songs right now. 

Mother of Earth - The Gun Club
I had not known too much about the Gun Club and had only heard their song Sex Beat, which if you haven't heard I think you should take a little listen. Sex Beat was a lot more punk and sort of had a ska feel too, I actually ended up using the song for my animation reel. Mother of Earth is a lot more rock, reminds me a lot of 70's psych rock.

Kerosene! - Yves Tumor
Yves Tumor is an amazing artist that does psychedelic dreamy music like no other. I had listened to the whole Heaven to a Tortured Mind when it came out back in 2020, but I hadn't really gotten into the songs individually. My friend Sheridan showed me this song and it has been on repeat since. I like songs that feel sexy and this one is for sure one of them. 

I Wanna Be in a Open Relationship - Posterboy2000
PosterBoy2000 is for sure a New York underground icon, his music is super punk. I Wanna Be in a Open Relationship is perfect to describe the current dating scene in New York. I feel this song is perfectly modern but brings in the sounds similar to 80's punk.

Darklands - The Jesus and Mary Chain
I had not listened to Jesus and Mary Chain before but this song just got me into them, I like that they are sort of a mix of goth, punk, and shoe gaze making them another one of those 80's bands that just knows how to do music. 

Charlotte's Thong - Connan Mockasin
I feel weirdly vain whenever I listen to this song mainly because my name is Charlotte, but it's such a good jazz type beat song, I also like that the singing is sort of bad, bad singing is something that is my favorite in songs. 

Shut Up (And Sleep with Me) - Sin With Sebastian
Classic club type europop song that is just so good, basically repeats the title over and over to a funky beat. I'm pretty sure this is the type of song I blast for 1 week then never listen to again. 

Ballrooms Of Mars - T. Rex
I started my 20th year listening to T. Rex's 'The Slider' album, their music reminds me a lot of Bowie and Ballrooms Of Mars feels super dreamy and puts me in a trance whenever it plays. 

Honerable Mention:
104.3 New York's Classic Rock Radio

I just got a cassette player that has a built in radio, this channel is really nice and has been playing lots.

  Songs of the Week October 7 - 14 This week I got a matching tattoo, so maybe that'll give you an insight on how things are in my noggin rn. I'm seeing IDLES Friday or Saturday I have to check, erm, but very excited for that. My dad came into town, brought him to the Hare Krishna tree <3. AND I got a new shirt so, 100.  Anyways here's the fucking songs I've been listening too. Less Lou Reed this week, more ..... Elliott.....Smith...... regressing....... regressing........ sorry god.  Kings Crossing - Elliott Smith Emo mindset, Emo song, sort of not really. Elliott Smith has best voice in the world, no cap 100. He Took Her to a Movie - Ladytron I used this song for a short animation, I only knew Seventeen by them but this is sort of a similar vibe to that, Ladytron rocks. GREENER KNOTS - Maxo Kream Maxo Kream is pretty good in my opinion, I loved Roaches by him. I'm no Maxo Kream expert but listen to this song, I have really nothing else to say here I found this ...

  Songs of the Week September 30 - October 7 This week has flown by, It's been a lot of Lou Reed on my end thanks to my September playlist I made a little while ago. This week it's been reflecting on basically what the point of life is, lol. Just thinking lots about how it's important to show care for those you love. Sort of heavy for a shitty blog, sorry  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sugar on my Tongue - Talking Heads Found this through the enhance feature on Spotify playlists which is sort of epic because I had only ventured into only a couple talking heads songs. Andy's Chest - Lou Reed This is music 2 my ears, this song makes me feel safe which I think is the case for all Lou Reed songs, it also feels very New York (gag) and very Fall (gag x2) Baby's on Fire - Brian Eno I don't know who Brian Eno is, quick google search lets me know he apparently created the genre of ambient music, very cool. He is also considered a genius, very cool. Sour Times - Portishead Shoutout Olivia fo...

    Songs of the Week October 14 - 21 So the turn of events, I went to Applebee's midtown ..... I went and moshed at IDLES, I sat at the Hare Krishna tree, made a Donatella Versace cross (image will be accompanied) and I think I may be suffering some memory loss. It was a pretty fun week, now I'm in my studio class writing this as I am every week and starting to get a little scared for the winter. Winter is always so cold I had to already bust out my heater which is fucked. Also I'm going to be moving pretty soon to a new spot which is super exciting, but in less exciting news my friends and leaving for Parsons Paris so I'll have to get ready for a goodbye. Shoutout Sydney I will miss you.  Here's what's been on repeat All I Think About Now - Pixies This song is amazing, it has been on repeat all week it's just so good. Feels really nostalgic and sort of sulky, which matches this frisk weather we've been having.  Whiskeyclone, Hotel City 1997 - Beck Foun...
