“You gobble a peach up over the sink like a messy little piglet playing in its trough. This is the greed they spoke of in the bible.” Gave me such a good laugh. Perfect vignettes and perfect recommendations.

Here's my summer vignette begging for a song:

"You found this little patch of shade at the music festival and you really don't want to leave it, although what you can hear of that band at the side stage over there sounds really good..."

ok here is a song from a band that i enjoyed at a summer music festival a few years ago. you'll just have to put it on in another room and go listen to it from a bit far away, i guess?

Day three of vacation and you've been out on the beach all morning. After jumping in the ocean one more time, you go up to the house around 2:00 to eat some pimento cheese and fresh tomatoes, standing at the counter, wrapped in your towel, dripping a little. You decide to stay in the a/c and take a nap that lasts til almost 5pm. You pull on a hoodie and wander out of your room, a little discombobulated, a little sunburned, to find that margaritas have been made and everyone is out on the deck for magic hour.

This sounds like the right time for L'Imperatrice. Try Agitations tropicales to feel kind of spaced out but also ready to groove.

Good ones! This is fun.

In the passenger seat of your best friend's 1970's American sedan on the freeway and it's too windy but you're doing that thing with your hand outside the window. You'll probably think of something to say soon, but you're not too worried about it.

Car Alarm - Gladie

Who Should I Say Is Calling - Demob Happy

You're lying on your floor at night staring at the ceiling because it's a little cooler and a little uncomfortable. The window is open. Cicadas, frogs, sometimes a car going by. Your stereo is on as quiet as the volume knob can go before the sounds cuts out entirely.

California - The Olympians

Cancer - Married Woman

Perfect soundtrack for this beautiful day on which I'm trapped inside editing all day. Also that Elder Island song just took me back to getting ready for or winding down after a rave because it sounds like two of my favorite pre/post-rave artists to play before/after I went out - Deee-Lite and Supreme Beings of Leisure.

Gabbie's avatar

ohhh man i haven't been to a rave in a million years. what great choices, both of those!
