I first heard this song when a friend of mine dropped it in my inbox and whispered, Watch this. Well, he might not have whispered that. He was on the other side of the world at the time. I felt it was implied. This is probably an obvious choice for the Drink Me soundtrack, but the video […]

The thing that gets me about this song is the line, Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. Because I always want to argue the point. But I’m not totally sure which side I’m on. It’s a kind of depressing song. So, sorry about that. But I stumbled across a video of Pink […]

This song was apparently written for the TV show Justified, and there is no official music video I feel no qualms about giving you a Justified tribute video to go with the song. Also, it gives me the opportunity to say, “Hey, if you haven’t watched it, you should check out Justified. It’s pretty awesome. If […]

There are a lot of different versions of this song, but this is the one that plays in my head. “I guess you didn’t know it, but I’m a fiddle player, too. And if you’d care to take a dare I’ll make a bet with you. Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but […]

Today’s videoclip is not part of any of my writing playlists, but a friend traumatised me with it earlier in the week and I want to share. I feel like I should be offering trigger warnings like Violence to Muppets/Assorted Plushies. So, you know, if you find that kind of thing bothersome… maybe watch through your […]

My favourite thing to do with this song is misinterpret the lyrics and focus on the wrong parts. It’s also fun to dance to. Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun And baby when it’s love if its not rough it isn’t fun.

In case you didn’t know, this song is about Elvis. I didn’t figure that out for ages and now I’m not sure why because it seems super obvious. Maybe I was just listening to the drum beat. Black velvet and that little boy’s smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that’ll […]

Arkem: If it’s a train bound for nowhere why don’t they get off? Me: They wanted somewhere to have a nap. Arkem: And a chat. And some whiskey. Me: Sounds pretty good to me. Arkem: ….so they were at the bar? …. If I open a bar I’m going to call it ‘Train Bound For […]

I wasn’t really expecting it but somehow a bunch of songs that at least walk the borderline of Country ended up in this playlist. I guess if you think about it, it makes sense. They’re all songs about making bad decisions and gambling with the universe. In any case, I have been freakishly fond of this […]
