Welsh Moony - a playlist

So from the first day I met them, @wdcmaxy has impressed upon me their Welsh Remus agenda. I decided to make a playlist to celebrate Welsh Moony in all his glory.

All songs are by Welsh artists (some of them in Welsh), and I tried to select songs that I thought fit Remus well where I could.

Full tracklist with lyrics underneath the cut!

1. Hello Sunshine // Super Furry Animals

I'm a minger You're a minger too So, come on, minger I want to ming with you In honesty It's been a while Since we had reason Left to smile Hello, Sunshine Come into my life

2. Peeled Apples // Manic Street Preachers

You know so little about me What if I turn into a werewolf or something?

3. Y Bluen Eira // The Joy Formidable

Be sy'n digwydd dywed be ddoth o'r cudd-le Pwy sy'n codi o'r geg Sy'n brathu nôl yn anheg Yn hollti y dymuniad

4. Don't Be Scared, I Love You // Bill Ryder-Jones

Those scars All those senseless scars My worst parts were when you're gone And the endless screaming dark ... Don't be scared, don't be scared I love you, I love you

5. Have A Nice Day // Stereophonics

It started straight off, "coming here is Hell" That's his first words, we asked what he meant He said, "Where you from?" we told him a lot We take a holiday, is this what you want? To have a nice day Have a nice day Have a nice day Have a nice day

6. Ysbeidiau Heulog // Super Furry Animals

Ond ar y cyfan roedd y camau yn weigion Y swigod coch yn llosgi fel gwreichion Um cam ymlaen am ddwy aneffeithlon Ysbeidiau heulog Heulog oedd ein oariad ni Heulog tan ddaeth glaw yn lliff

7. Romance Is Boring // Los Campesinos!

You're pouting in your sleep I'm waking still yawning We're proving to each other That romance is boring Still there are things I could do If I was half prepared to Prove to each other that romance is boring

8. Thank God I'm Not You // HIMALAYAS

I'm a coward, I'm a freak The scum of the Earth A liar and a cheat But I could be so much worse You could call me narcissistic You could say I'm of no worth You could call me the scorn of Satan But I could be so much worse I thank God that I'm not you

9. Fel i Fod // Adwaith

Sai'n siwr fel i fod Beth o ni moyn bod Yn y dyfodol Fy hun sidd ar top y list Pethau nai byth ffeindio Gobeithio bod pawb yn gwybod Sai'n siwr fel i fod Falle fi moyn mynd yn willt Falle fi moyn mynd i gysgu Âa-ŵŵ

10. Sexbomb // Tom Jones (ft. Mousse T)

Make me explode although you know The route to go to sex me slow And yes, I must react to claims of those Who say that you are not all that. Sexbomb Sexbomb you're a Sexbomb You can give it to me, when I need to come along Sexbomb sexbomb you're my sexbomb And baby you can turn me on

11. Suckers! // Super Furry Animals

Tell me you're a phoenix Rising far above All the Suckers in the mainstream Suckers in their slipstream Suckers in the underground Suckers on the benches Suckers in the trenches Suckers in the lost and found

12. Pure Pleasure // Drowners

It hurts like hell But I'd given myself into thinking You'd settle down Now I'm holding my eyes and blinking And I almost choked When you offered me a smoke on your cigarette Dry your eyes This is only the first death Well it took me by surprise When you held me to your chest and said I could love you in secret I could love you in secret I could love you in secret But no one can know

13. Are You Satisfied? // MARINA

High achiever, don't you see? Baby, nothing comes for free They say I'm a control freak Driven by a greed to succeed Nobody can stop me 'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die

14. Dim Bendith // Super Furry Animals

Arswyd mae dy ddyddiau mor faith Does wybod lle i sbio pan fod pawb mor ddauwynebog Cysgu di heno febyn annwyl dy fam Mae'n anodd treulio mil pan fo'r ddinas mor ddi hafant Paid dyfaru byth Na, dwi'm yn chwerthin ar dy ben di

15. Cave Song // Pretty Vicious

We are children of the streets Don't listen to a word about tomorrow 'Cause the world is at our feet It's mad, so try and just relax Smoke another fag and ease your sorrows 'Cause you lads are all I need Singing, drinking in the caves All night, yeah

16. Conversations With Myself // Drowners

Where you going and how long until you're back To forget what what I just lost track I go to places where we used to go The empty bedroom has been feeling cold You must be busy, I've not heard from you for a while Feeling lonely? No I'll be alright My one track mind isn't treating me Quite as kindly as I'd have liked But conversations with myself Conversations with myself When I find the words I wanna say The door is locked and I can't find a way out

17. Torra Fy Ngwallt Yn Hir // Super Furry Animals

Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir? Reit i lawr at fy nhin Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir? Reit i lawr at fy nhin Fydd neb yn eistedd wrth fy ymyl Pan dwi ar y bws Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir? A paid a geund dim ffys!

18. 9669 // The Joy Formidable

We don't ride, we don't ride to sunset We just ride off to our last breath This time it's over Unless I under miss my Nothing miss my number

19. 9669 (Welsh Language Version) // The Joy Formidable - Bonus Track

"You've still got me beat. As far as I know, we don't have places of protection for those like me. I know the Fair Folk of other lands have their courts and realms and things, and the Bendith y Mamau have their processions, but I don't think they would be safe places for me to reside."

Em doesn't know much about the big picture, how all of these gods and goddesses and magical beings all work with and against each other, but for now, being at Camp Half-Blood is enough.

"You don't need to keep it short and sweet unless you've got things to tend do. I like exploring. -What are the rules about walking through the forest? Am I allowed to do that on my own as a visitor?"

[gingersnaptaff]

i was up til seven for grad school reasons, so my brain is less fried more Burnt, but that most recent melwas (don't trust myself to spell his other name rn) post's got me attempting a Semblance of Thought. something something the wild vs. the domestic = the terrifying vs. the familar + safe, something something terror is the other face of beauty something something, gwyn being known as "terrible" for no reason... there's something there methinks, but i'm tossing it to a More Reliable and Trustworthy Source (re: u) – 🧡

(i hope ur having a good day btw!!!)

Oh, I'm sorry to hear your brain's fried. 😞 that's awful. I hope you have a chill rest of your day / chill evening though. It sounds like you need it!!!!

Oooh that's definitely interesting and I think you're on to something! I do think it's very interesting how the woods can simultaneously be seen as something safe (I.e. Guinevere and her ladies going into the woods for birch sticks and flowers and just having a chill time) and then also wild (Melwas and his whole shtick. Also, Gwyn ap Nudd is the lead hunter of The Wild Hunt as well as being the head of the Tylwyth Teg which would further tie into that whole thing.)

Also, terror being the other side of beauty is also very much in play when you consider that in her own way Guinevere is terrible (in a kinda don't wanna fuck with her way, not a fuck I despair kinda way.) and Melwas would be too. Like I wouldn't wanna fuck with either of them!

Ngl, 🧡, the Tylwyth Teg are also seen as simultaneously cool and feared depending on what Wales is feeling on a certain day. They're also called Y Bendith y Mamau or 'mother's blessings' presumably because it was ironic as they'd leave changelings in cradles. Tbf, Bwca's are pretty chill and help with housework though.

[cerberus253]

Sounds like a Bendith Y Mamau: They have the ill disposition and ugly appearance of goblins, but the glamor of the faeries.

you can be both an ethereal faerie dream girl and a horrid little dirt gremlin creature. the duality of woman

[tawdryrat]

I'm sure nothing bad or adverse will happen to you if you drink the strange potion in the fairy circle :3

This is a 3D texture assessment I did for uni, and it was my first time using Substance Painter and Unreal! So I'm amazed it came out so good.

The potion bottle says "Bendith Derwydd" ("Druid's Blessing" in Welsh).

I fully made all the red mushrooms, potion bottle, log and rocks myself. The white mushrooms, grass, flowers, weeds and ground textures were free from Quixel Bridge.

Tylwyth teg

Národ waleských víl, na jihu té země zvaný Bendith y Mamau, domovem pod zemí nebo pod vodou, prostě mimo dohled. Obvyklého chování: návštěvy lidských domovů, pletky s mladými Pozemšťany.

Someone: *is mean to Flower*

Bendith: Disrespect my boyfriend again and I’ll determine your resonant frequency and play a funky dulcimer solo that melts your miserable organs from the inside out

Top Singles/EPs of 2017

To keep the pool of candidates manageable, I made the arbitrary choice to restrict my lists to what I purchased on vinyl. As well, these are presented in alphabetical order, because ranking them seems so painful (choosing just ten was hard enough). Each title is a link to some sort of audio sample.

18 Rays - 18 Rays (Antinote) Sleeper hit for me, and “I Feel Rain” is super stoned, sleepy eyed pop brilliance and an absolute ear worm. The rest of the EP is top shelf downtempo, with a melancholic pop edge. Shout out to the bassline in “These Empty Stairs”, huge guitars in “Long Time Ago”, and the (mellotron?) flutes of “North West Plaza”.

Bendith - Bendith EP (Aficionado) Maybe the best release all year. Like a Welsh, mostly acoustic Espers…but better? Baroque, medieval, psychedelic, sad, beautiful. Every track is a standout, including an excellent rendition of the traditional Japanese Takeda lullaby. But it is “Cân Am Gariad”, a cover of Lesley Duncan’s “Love Song”, that brings me to tears.

Earth Trax x Newborn Jr. - Mirage (Les Yeux Orange) The B-side is really fun, getting to hear Newborn Jr strike out alone on a looped country fried jammer bringing to mind Todd Edwards, and Earth Trax laying down a burner. But the A-side is just monstrous, especially the title track. When those absolutely huge ravey chords come in and subtle acidic trails start firing…hands in the air.

Max Manetti - Max Manetti EP (Über) Some awesome combo of Coyote and Mushrooms Project at their most horizontal, but also its own thing. Stoned out tempos, dubby basslines, tons of hand percussion, sun-baked guitar, and lysergic synths and vocal samples all over the place. Its all amazing, toes-in-the-sand beachy brilliance, but the b-side in particular kills.

Modern Manners - Modern Manners 001 (Modern Manners) “Amor y Odio” is just so classic: sparse breakbeat and bassline, trippy synths, and mournful Spanish guitar (shades of Coyote’s “Eve”!!). “Running With Me” has a nice loungey almost bossa nova rhythm with tasteful organ, jazzy laid back guitar, and soulful vocals. “Instant Illusion” finishes with a playful bassline anchoring a relaxed downtempo drift. (MM 002 is also most excellent...bring on 003!).

Mori Ra - Akebono / Tasogare (Balearic Social) Ive played these records ALOT. The most balearic of Mori Ra’s many great edits/reworks. A lot of it sounds like it could come from the early Cafe del Mar volumes. The AA side of Akebono, “Exodus” is a real stand out…hypnotic, floaty, and uplifting. As well as the A side of Tasogare, which is a jammed out jazzy banger.

Nancy Noise - Kaia (Beyond Paradise) “Kaia” should go down as an all timer, all desert swept acoustic, twinkly keys, and muted spaghetti western trumpets. Completely epic. “Azizi’s Dance” also kills it, with perhaps my favorite bassline of the year and those totally classic housey pianos. The remixes of “Kaia” are also on point, with Leo Mas & Fabrice grooving it out and Man Power throwing it all over a breakbeat and upping the cosmic factor. Also a lot of love for Leo Mas & Fabrice’s “Balearic Lovers” mix on the remix EP.

Pender Street Steppers - Pender Street Steppers (Mood Hut) The A-side is jaw dropping and the standout is the synth-saxy house shuffle, spy movie guitar, and hazy vox of “Raining Again”. “Mirror (Dub)” is light-as-air dub that is really compelling, spacey, and easy to fall into. And just try not to tap your toes when the groove kicks in and that whistle melody starts in “Molto Bene”. The B-side has some excellent Hut-style house, but doesn’t quite reach the ridiculous heights of the A-side.

Private Agenda - Dusk/Dawn (NuNorthern Soul) Both “Dusk” and “Dawn” are gorgeous, subdued, catchy, and immaculately crafted. The remixes are the real story however, especially Faze Action’s and Ron Basejam’s takes on “Dawn”. The former has the feel of a White Isle classic, with tropical and percussive synths, a bouncy beat, and Cantoma guitars. The latter gets so much glorious mileage out of a disco leaning break and a delicious sax line.

Various - We’ll Sea Pts. 1 & 2 (Mireia Records) RSS Disco’s “We’ll Sea” lays a catchy vocal hook over an absolutely classic organ-led downtempo groove, and the sum of these simple parts wrenches my heart. Just timeless. “Porto” is more uptempo, with an awesome filtered bassline and mystical and soaring vocals. Conga Fever finishes part 1 with a loungey, noir-esque guitar/organ groover. On the A-side of part 2, the Marcus Worgull edit of Gil Scott Heron’s “I’m New Here” is sublime, layering his dusty acoustic and croon over a subtle and hypnotic shaker-led beat.

Really enjoying this book. I’ve got some really amazing quotes for you guys coming up! This is what I am currently reading but I’m close to finishing it.

[lpbestiary]

The tylwyth teg, also known as the bendith y mamau, is a type of fey creature from Welsh folklore. They are generally described in two ways, with the most popular being attractive, fair-haired humanoids who kidnap blonde children and replace them with changelings.

In other stories, they are described as stunted and ugly, riding horses to the houses from which they hope to steal children.
