[lighthousepigeons]

Rose: Tomorrow's garbage day.

Lo: I can't believe they made a whole day dedicated to you.

Lily: Do you like modelling?

Daisy: It's fine. I'm good at it.

ADDICTED TO YOU

[razorsadness]

Nights, I spent at Paddy O's, with whiskey or gin, pumping the jukebox full of money so I could hear Patsy and Johnny and Elvis (and The Clash and The Tossers), talking with Beagan whom I will always love with a love so big and easygoing and pure. And those were fun nights with old friends, thoroughly intoxicated; sometimes K. would waltz in and the two of us would tango around the bar (to the chagrin of some patrons, and the delight of the old men) - but I fell into a lot of melancholy moments. With all the alone time I had during the day, I was left thinking too much about everything, about ghosts, about how screwed up I am, and when those thoughts combined with glass after glass of booze, the sadness came. And with it, drunken, 1 a.m. text messages to Maggie and Filia. The messages to Maggie either consisted of quotes from World/Inferno songs (Hothouse flowers grow lush and bright in tiny little towns across this big night), or questions like Will I ever stop missing old lovers and wishing for new ones? Her response to that one was - All signs point to 'no.' And I laughed at that, and then started to cry, because she's right, and it's funny that she knows me so well, but the situation is not funny at all. And the messages to Filia all said basically the same thing: When are you going to quit being a jerk and come visit me? She didn't respond to any of them. It breaks my heart, because I know I really have lost her, or at least lost the closeness we used to have. It's not like the time I didn't hear from her for ten months. No, she communicates every once in a while, now. I've even seen her twice in the past year. But she no longer makes an attempt to come see me - if I want to see her, I have to go to her. And when I do see her, it is not the same. All we do is talk about memories of the things we used to do; we no longer create new ones. She is stuck in her world of boyfriend and job and battlefield ghosts. Just a couple days ago, I was looking through stacks of old zines, and I found one she made six years ago - collage art and cut-up poetry. She is so talented, and always has been; but she doesn't see it, and she doesn't do anything with that talent, and it frustrates the hell out of me. No matter how many times I tell her how amazing she is, she refuses to listen, or to believe me.

May! Officially springtime, I wanted my May playlist to key off of 'Les Fleurs' by Minnie Riperton, a song my bff shared in our family discord and has haunted me since (positive).

This playlist put itself together pretty quickly, and basically was in its final form by mid-month. And, since part of the whole point of me even starting doing monthly playlists was because I am prone listening to the same playlists over and over (and over), I had no problem spending two weeks of workdays listening to the same series of songs. It's comforting! My comfort playlist is six songs long and I used to play it on a loop through most of a workday at a Bad Place I Worked. Three hours of syrupy spring joy every day was a delight.

The vibe for May was, if I may quote what I sent my bestie in describing it: "Flowers and joy sweetness and fierceness is the vibes, Middle finger in a lace glove." I mean, I think I achieved that, anyway.

Several covers on this one, like the Cowboy Junkies covering Vic Chesnutt 'Flirted With You All My Life,' which is a hard one to cover for a lot of reasons but this is (to me) a successful attempt. The 'Goodbye Horses' cover by Dead On A Sunday is also a new favourite, it doesn't really change much about it, but it's just a good damn song. The Cardigans singing 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' hit me so unexpectedly, I was delighted.

Related media to some of the songs:

I enjoy the music video for Indigo De Souza's 'You Can Be Mean'. 

An Dro's arrangement of the Hieronymus Bosch butt music is probably my favourite version, and I'm grateful to this Tumblr post for introducing this artist to me.

There are two songs from Schmigadoon! season two in here, if you can find a way to watch it (Apple TV+) and are a musicals fan you're in for a treat. It's a damn tragedy how they've got so few clips for this show and were consistently late in sharing what little they had or in making songs available quickly on Spotify. It's a musical show! You're a giant network! Anyway, enjoy this Chicago-inspired piece that is not on this playlist but is a delight nonetheless.

Anyway here's a link to May's playlist on Spotify, with the track list below the cut.

the way you phrase everything is so poetic and evocative like not to detract from the meaning for which you have my sympathies but if u wrote a novel id read it

that's so sweet of you.. although i don't know if you saw but threadbare piece of clothing is from olivia laing (i reblogged that quote from the book right after bc i knew i was thinking of that), hothouse flower is of course succession, "read and unlearn, repeat, suffer with aim" is life advice from kazu makino of blonde redhead. if you still think i can phrase things well then thank you if not i would understand hxsgcy
