[jimmyjrsmusoems]

sweet talk is without a doubt going to end up on my spotify wrapped this year and its all @babsvibes fault 👈🏻

these are just a few songs from my louigan playlist!! i had to leave a lot of my favorites off of this graphic for spacing reasons, and i'll include them under the cut 👇🏻

R U Mine? - Arctic Monkeys

"and the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways - so in case i'm mistaken, i just wanna hear you say, "you got me baby, are you mine?"

Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene - Hozier

"with her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean - she's the angel of small death and the codeine scene"

Don't Blame Me - Taylor Swift

"and baby for you, i would fall from grace, just to touch your face - if you walk away, i'd beg you on my knees to stay"

Hermit the Frog - MARINA

"i can't help the devil likes to make my heart a double bed, and i can't help he sometimes likes to come and rest his little head"

The Last Of The Real Ones - Fall Out Boy

"'cause you're the last of a dying breed, write our names in the wet concrete - i wonder if your therapist knows everything about me?"

Why Did It Have To Be Me? - ABBA

"falling in love with a woman like you happens so quickly, there's nothing to do - it's only natural, but why did it have to be me?"

imgonnagetyouback - Taylor Swift

"even if it's handcuffed, i'm leaving here with you"

Recently, a friend told me that fanfic isn't real writing, isn't real art because it lacks creativity. She said that the authors are taking someone else's characters, fully formed and existing in a universe already defined and detailed, and just re-imagining them in different scenarios. And that, she was adamant, was not art, was not creativity. That was playing with Barbie dolls, she said.

And the whole time we were talking, I had some great jazz playing in the background. Some of it was older stuff, some really cutting edge, but all of it wildly creative, technical, skilled, and artistic. And every single track was a cover of someone else's song.

Jazz as an art form is built on covers: of jazz classics, of pop songs, of classical music. When you go to a jazz concert, you'd be lucky to get even fifty percent original music -- the majority of the music in the genre is reinterpretation after reinterpretation after reinterpretation. And all of it is art. All of it is creative. These musicians are powerhouses, they're icons, they're technicians, they are the best of the best.

So if we accept that cover songs are real music, if we see the creativity and the artistry in them, then we have to recognise fanfic as exactly the same thing: a reinterpretation of someone else's work that brings artistry and creativity in its own right. Fanfic is real writing.

---------------------------

Here's my Spotify playlist of some of my favourite jazz reinterpretations of rock/pop songs.

A lot of the jazz is very modern, very challenging, but it is all great stuff created by GREAT musicians at the height of their artistic powers. Enjoy!

(If you've never tried contemporary jazz, this is a great introduction, btw. Really good stuff here.)

🎵 SONG-TO-GO 🎵

You're being visited by the song wizard! Friday, week 6, I come bearing music! Here’s another song wizard new music Friday, a weekly poll to take a lesser-known song along with you as you scroll!

As with last week, choose songs based on the 30-second Spotify snippets if you don’t know them (I’ve tried to make sure there’s something new and lesser known), and if you like them they’re yours* to carry take on your trip!

*as in add them to your library etc., if you like them a lot come ask me and I’ll try and dig up a Bandcamp like for you, hee hee

[last week’s poll, playlist of everything so far and more]

Fun fact, if you've been taking out a song to go each week, you've tasted over 35 new songs. Wow!

This week, some rock, dance punk, emo/pop punk and indie. Poll’s open for a week, new one next Friday.

Happy scrolling! If you want to give your mutuals a few songs, reblog, and let them know what you liked :)

[angelbitezzz]

Well here it is! With fun cover art to boot :)

hi! for the past week or so, ive been working on playlists for the gang. theyre coming together slowly but surely. for now, though, id love to introduce my first playlist of the bunch: mac mcdonald :)

this playlist is mostly about lyrics applying to mac, with only a few songs i dont think hed listen to.

with 60+ songs so far, and counting, its nearly 4 hours of songs ive compiled that are mac to me, one way or another. featured are Jimi Hendrix, Depeche Mode, Led Zeppelin, and Violent Femmes, plus more. its an eclectic collection, but i hope you all agree its mac :o)

You Are the Moon - The Hush Sound (Darkness, darkness, everywhere, do you feel all alone?; You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear)

[mokeonn]

I think the frustrating thing about Spotify recommendations is sometimes it really does introduce me to lots of cool Indie Bands that I really vibe with and allow me to try some new stuff and sometimes it keeps telling me that I need to Listen to Mother Mother (I have not listened to Mother Mother ever and at this point I never will because it is a pride thing.)

Or a random unfunny tiktok joke song from 3 years ago/ a viral YouTube song from over a decade ago.

[vincentsleftear]

Helloooo!!

In honor of season two of house of the dragon dropping in a few days, I wanted to share that Alicent Hightower playlist I was talking about making :)

I will probably continue to add to it, especially as season two comes out, but it’s finished for now!!

Enjoy <3

Can’t say I’ve ever really heard a song that was SO fitting for a character that I needed to say it was theirs before. With that being said,, Evan Buckley OWNS “what do you want” by Benson Boone

[aviangrian]

thank god chappell roan didn’t release good luck babe in summer 22!

[mittenlady]

dropping my klavquill spotify playlist! songs go chronologically and some aren't necessarily for klavier/simon, but for them as individuals and their respective pasts. also tried to curate based on not only the lyrics but what genres i think they would listen to and vibes. tho there are a few exceptions if the lyrics r that important
