a playlist dump-2022

- velvet express ; walking with a silent acquaintance underneath a frozen blue night - siren noise; the sapphic pirate tragedy we’re all looking for - miserable bravado ; insanity before stage, what would be in a neo-noir/thriller movie of mine -trailing sleeves; missing the friends who have left you alone -rabbit holes; periods of a party

-the tearoom ; a slow day at a night cafe

-outline; songs for the speaker

New York Movie-how I feel when I look at Edward Hopper paintings

Dinner Party-for dinner parties with friends (this one is collaborative so feel free to add some of your songs as well)

painting-self explanatory; for when I’m painting

dumb luck-a soundtrack to a sapphic art heist movie idea

More of my playlists :)

To Live Forever- a TSH playlist (songs I think fit) 

 matchbox cars- for driving all around Tokyo with friends (futuristic and retro at the same time) 

coming of age- if I made a teen show, this would be the soundtrack

House Arrest- for cleaning the house with a robot version of you

summer- for wasting your days with your small group of friends

mockingbirds- songs I’d listen to when I fake my death

clementines- for laying on your bed, feeling full and complete 

sunflowers- based on that Holly Warburton painting  

the asian american writers’ workshop just published 16 love poems by poets of palestinian heritage that were featured in the anthology we call to the eye & the night edited by hala alyan & zeina hashem beck

The development of Lynch's body of work is informed by a realist's optimism that there is an exit from the linguistic labyrinth and that this exit is richly available to us [...] His use of language—and of cinematic vocabulary—suggests that, once we understand that we ourselves have created cultural forms and that they only have the meaning we give them, we are free to understand the forces in the universe that are truly larger than we are and how they connect us to a greater reality.

Martha Nochimson, The Passion of David Lynch
