For the playlist ask game:
My Habit (EMH) playlist is 90% heavy metal, but it also has "Walking on sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves, "Stronger (What doesn't kill you)" by Kelly Clarkson, and "Start Wearing Purple" Gogol Bordello. Also Caramelldansen.
The goal is to never let you relax and get caught in the flow of music. It works. It's jarred me out of very negative feedback loops before.

Can I just say that Easy A is a favourite film of mine? Completely underrated in my opinion.

For the song asks: 24, 12, 14?
Yay more of these :D!! Thank you 💚💚
Tumblr media
24. A song to listen to on a long drive when you have the really strong urge to keep driving until you find somewhere to start a new life (preferably a europian city whose language you don’t speak)
You know what - yeah this one works: Still Breathing by Green Day

12. A song to listen to whilst you lie in a meadow?
More meadow time let's gooooo
I just recently watched the second season of Heartstopper and I love this song so much it definitely gives me meadow vibes :'D
Paradise by Carmody
youtube
14. A song to sing to the sun?
I'm not completely sure what this entails so I'll try to go with my gut feeling on this one x'D
... Okay I couldn't find a good one so Walking on Sunshine it is x'D

109: The Soft Boys // Underwater Moonlight
Tumblr media
Underwater Moonlight The Soft Boys 1980, Armageddon
Robyn Hitchcock’s whole face/skull situation is a phrenologist’s dream, the kind of knobby high-concentrate Englishness fantasy artists love to draw as goblins or animate oak trees. It’s probably only within the particular resonating chambers of that dome that Hitchcock’s brand of pervert psychedelia could’ve formed: a stream of withering invective as clever as that of Elvis Costello but filtered through Jabberwockian riddle-speak. The key is that Hitchcock delivers his peculiar barbs (e.g. “In the physical kingdom of time / I guess that your dish is full of slime”) with such savage amusement you feel you should know what he means, and eventually you find that you sort of do. It helps also that he was as gifted a melodist as any the punk generation produced, and that Underwater Moonlight bears his most generous collection of hooks.
Tumblr media
Hitchcock: Phrenology of a pop genius.
Tumblr media
Some of Hitchcock's notable film work.
The Soft Boys might’ve found Cheap Trick- (or at least Raspberries-) sized success with sparkly gems like “Tonight” and “I Wanna Destroy You” if Hitchcock had the capacity to play things straight lyrically. But that’d be like imagining In the Aeroplane Over the Sea without all the jizz and Anne Frank: missing the point completely. It’s better by far to splash headlong into the alternative world where “The Queen of Eyes” topped the UK singles chart for 28 weeks and there are signs at Guitar Center warning you not to play the Arabian scale solo from “Underwater Moonlight.”
youtube
Back in our reality, the Soft Boys would break up not long after issuing an incredible final single (“Only the Stones Remain”), and Hitchcock would embark on a consistently strange and prolific solo career, while guitarist Kimberley Rew wrote himself a pretty good pension with his next project, Katrina & the Waves (a better band than you probably remember!).
