Telephone by Andy Shauf

[bodyhate]

I remember being in front of the computer at my parents' (en la habitacion de leer) with my siblings trying to figure out the lyrics to this song (which it wasn't that hard, since the video is verbatim what he sings)

[eyestumblin]

Handful of years back I remembered and wondered about Chad Vangaalen, whose album Infiniheart was a favorite for a time. What I found was this video he animated for Andy Shauf:

On first listen its bittersweet but romantic, but on repetition and especially with the video illustrating the tension in the lyrics, the image of the situation becomes more strange and sour. After an obsession with this song, I went through much of his discography on repeat, track by track, and my collection of his albums just keeps increasing. For a few weeks I've been listening to his most recent release, Norm, basking in the warm and blissful vibes.

I'm not really someone who listens to lyrics so it takes me about this long to start understanding what is even being said, and once again this comforting beauty floats over the surface of what slowly and quietly is unfolding to me as a nightmare. As I've been starting to piece this together, I found out that there were once again animated videos. Catch Your Eye's video (Mary Vertulfo) captures the tired, sweet, mundane feeling. Like the lyrics, the subtle ending is easy to overlook.

But Telephone also gets its own video. (cw dead insects, stalking)

The whiplash is bringing me back to how as a teen i'd listen over and over to Sufjan Steven's "John Wayne Gacy Jr" not knowing the real story behind the name and lyrics. The cozy, dreamlike energy and the sinister narrative are melting together. The feelings I have are like oil and water, both there simultaneously but distinct and unable to blend.

The story continues through the entire album of Norm. I don't really have any insight or deeper thoughts, i'm just throwing this into the void in case anyone wants to enter this very strange space and be simultaneously soothed and disturbed with me.

"I laid my head down on the tracks, my eyes just rolled on back.

Son, don't cry.

Son, don't you hang so high."

Assigning AMC's The Terror characters music

[if they were cooler....I mean tbh none of these guys other than Blanky would have any music taste at all. Or at most they would have one big Spotify Megaplaylist with no defining genre]

Crozier: The Cars, Bob Dylan, The Who, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, The Police, Tom Petty, Live, Rush. Sometimes can get into stuff like TOOL.

Blanky: probably one of those people who talks about all the concerts he went to in his heyday, i.e. Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, KMFDM, Depeche Mode, The Who, Skinny Puppy, Tool, etc. He brought Crozier along too sometimes. Has the coolest music taste but you never know until something is brought up and he says "I remember that show...it was great." and adds nothing else.

Fitzjames: Mitski and Kate Bush lmao. Other than that, just whatever's popular. Anoying to listen to music with him cuz he's one of those people who thinks everyone will be impressed by him singing along to Paramore.

John Franklin: Hank Williams Sr, David Allen Coe, Joe Rogan podcast and believes everything Rogan says.

Hodgson/Little (Little wouldn't listen to anything if it weren't for Hodgson): fun or chill stuff like Third Eye Blind, Blink-182, Moby, Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins, Yellowcard. Hodgson plays the guitar a little bit and plays for Little and Irving sometimes.

Irving: Music that they play in Walgreens; i.e. GooGooDolls, Matchbox Twenty, Maroon5, The Fray, Semisonic, Train, Hoobastank, Counting Crows, TobyMac. Also has been caught listening to stuff from bands he claims have Christian members/influences (Evanescence, Slayer, Skillet, Black Veil Brides)

Jopson: Ska/rap metal, surprisingly... 311, No Doubt, Mindless Self Indulgence, Butthole Surfers, The Prodigy, knows how to get jiggy to Marilyn Manson, orgy, and NIN.

Tozer: Who Let the Dogs Out, Baby Got Back, Limp Bizkit, Creed....stuff like that. Once was caught singing a Taylor Swift song to an unconscious Heather tho.

Collins: boring stuff like Radiohead, Phoebe Bridgers, Fiona Apple, Chad VanGaalen, Blind Melon, Collective Soul, Pearl Jam, Alex G.

Bridgens/Peglar (they share): Beatles gooners, probably listen on vinyl or something dumb.

Silna: 10hr relaxing music for dogs, Mitski, Fog Lake, Interpol, Boards of Canada, whatever audiobook she's into.

Goodsir: shares with Silna, also Collins got him interested in Radiohead. But mostly classical for studying.

Hickey: The Prodigy, ICP, Chumbawamba... jk its actually beautiful majestic sh*t like The Smiths, Slowdive, and The Cranberries.

Oops all doctors! playlists for the terror (2018) ft. a special guy ;)

Below are the doctors playlists! Each was so fun to make, especially Goodsir's and I think Peddie's was pretty fun too. I'd like to thank the one discord server im a part of, if ur in the wardroom thanks for helping me spark such huge inspiration for McDonald's playlist which I also think is extremely good. Well I'm actually so biased these all four slap hard. AND IN HONOR OF DJ DOLL EYES, I am also unleashing Jopson's playlist to the world (he gets to be first bc its his big birthday where hes NOT dying, bc all the doctors are here to ward off scurvy). So if you wanted an example of what I think mister doll eyes is listening to when he isn't always putting others first even in fictional playlists
