And At a Quarter After Two We Argued It Was Nine

January 10, 2014 by

This is a great drinking song and also a great funeral song, so naturally it’s perfect for Drink Me. It’s been recorded by a lot of different people but this is my favourite. Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I’ll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain’t […]

This is Not My Beautiful House. This is Not My Beautiful Wife.

Do you ever get that feeling where you’re standing around in your own house and you suddenly think, “I live here” and that seems totally weird to you? Or you’re sitting with your feet up and you look down the stretch of your legs and go, “Wow, my legs are really long.” Or your parents […]

Another Case of Do or Die

The video clip for this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense (although let’s be realistic, how many actually do?) and I love that the lyrics are… open to interpretation. Or, at least, I enjoy taking them far more literally than I am sure they are intended. She’s electric, she’s the current running through my […]

Drinking Brew For Breakfast

December 6, 2013 by

At least half the time when I’m listening to this I mishear the lyric as, Rudy got bail. I have no adequate explanation for it. I am constantly rewriting the rest of the lyrics to fit them to that baseline though. And that’s always fun. How you get so rude and a reckless? Don’t you be […]

I’m Pregnant, George

I absolutely cannot hear this song without thinking of the movie Kuffs. I was going to pass over that strange (although entirely logical mental glitch) and simply leave you with the downright odd video clip that comes with the song… but I thought it only fair to let you know that you too can share that […]

Now Usually I Don’t Do This…

November 22, 2013 by

Today’s song doesn’t have a video clip. Technically it doesn’t even have an official existence. It’s a remix. By TheMattSmith.* And it starts with the immortal words, “Now usually I don’t do this…”** Go here and listen: Call Me Maybe vs. Ignition   * Which is funny because while I’m pretty sure he has nothing to […]

Running With Rum

November 15, 2013 by

Soundtracks are really great for writing background music. They’re intentionally mood music and usually instrumental so there aren’t any words to get in the way. Rather than listen to entire soundtracks I usually just steal individual songs for my playlist. Songs that, now I’m thinking about it, tend to have a specific theme: running. Maybe that’s […]

Plotting For Pantsers

November 14, 2013 by

Me: I need my brain for other things. Arkem: Plotting. Me: Yep. (Pause) It sounds so much worse when you say it. Writers tend to fall into two categories: plotters and pantsers (as in by-the-seat-of-their-pants). I have always fallen into the make-it-up-as-I-go-along category, stumbling blindly through the story woodland and bumping into things and calling […]

Shut Up and Let Me See Your Jazz Hands

November 8, 2013 by

This song is my second favourite from this album but the most appropriate to this playlist. I enthusiastically encourage you to go and listen to Sing, which is my favourite. And then, when you’re enticed and confused, go check out the rest of the album and its extras. Because this album is a tiny (awesome) post-apocalyptic science fiction […]

Don’t Tell Me It’s Progress Cause That’s Just a Lie

Now don’t tell me it’s progress cause that’s just a lie And don’t even try to come up with an excuse why We were so busy worrying about them dropping the bomb We didn’t notice where our enemy was really coming from
