Crysslit's jams
Here are all of Crysslit's jams.
Just in Time...
by Nina Simone
After a Before Sunset re-watch, my head is swimming. And Nina is shimmering in the background. "Baby, you're going to miss that plane"

Screamager
by Therapy?
This has just sent me pogoing back to my screamage years. I still, it turns out, groan those lyrics with a frightening level of conviction.

Lo Boob Oscillator
by Stereolab
It sounds like fun, easy, breezy fun that builds to heart-racing happiness. And it has 'boob' in the title. And I'm a sucker for French shiz.

That Crown Don't Make You a Prince
by Murder By Death
Messy, frenetic eclecticism over folky lyrics. Works for me.

Lost River
by Murder by Death
I only discovered these guys recently; now I can't get enough of his voice. Or the narratives he grumbles sweetly through.

Rid of Me
by PJ Harvey
International Women's Day Jam. Here's one of my favourite musicians breaking down gender expectations without trying or giving a fuck... Just by being her awesome self. 👊

Lover
by In the Valley Below
Like 'I'll be your mirror', this is a song that's also a mission statement, a pledge. Chest-tighteningly gorgeous to hear such promises so convincingly put to music.

Gimme Shelter
by The Rolling Stones
I like songs that build from a shimmer to a throaty shout. Classic example. I've been singing this all week.

Close Your Eyes

Just played this song 7 times in a row. I will probably play it another 7 times now. So good.

Leif Erikson
by Interpol
Bit down. And when I'm a bit down this song makes me think my melancholy awkwardness and overly thoughtfulness are at least a bit beautiful, if not very healthy.

Murakami
by Made in Heights
Love Haruki Murakami, so thought I'd give his musical equivalent a listen... Hearing this was like falling down the rabbit hole for Alice. Or falling in love. It just works for me. 💖

Hunger for the pine
by alt-J
Sounds particularly wonderful post-mud, during long, blazing hot showers prior to a few pints. Sounds pretty wonderful in most circumstances.

I Don't Know What I Can Save You From

Just a perfect, rough hewn, half-whispered album. I close my eyes and let it wash over me...

Love of My Life
by Anna Calvi
"Cut my lip on a jewel-piece eye / Gonna lick and lick it dry / spit up blood for another sweet bite / I'll hold you down and I'll hold you tight." Romance as an awe-inspiring soundscape of self-ruination. Hot.

Queen

No justification required. Perfume Genius broke my heart with 'Rusty Chains' now he makes me want to strut and kick ass.

IFUCKINGLOVEYOU
by Big Black Delta
So if Depeche Mode were playing a grunge night on a starship, against a backdrop of solar systems singing when they suddenly decided they wanted you to shake it like a polaroid picture = this.

The Ship Song
by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
This week I have been mostly howling along to this in a mock-operatic voice on my bike, in public, at dawn. Those lyrics are so simple and perfect.

No More Running

This song is your duvet. Pull it tight to your chin, bury yourself deep in it or wear it loose about your hips, but listen, then slip away to sleep.

Take Me To Church

Cheesy? Probably. But I want to shout along, ballet dance badly and tear out my hair in happy hysteria when I hear it so: deal.

Introduced to this today... Cannot get over the concept; the contrast of style and content. Darkly funny. And funky.

I'll Be Your Mirror (Velvet Underground cover)
by Death Cab For Cutie
The kindest, and most heartfelt, mission statement in the medium of song. Nice cover too; I like the awkwardness of it.

Walking Backwards

Just makes me feel happy to be alive. And one might consider that to be a good quality in a pop tune. Possibly.

For jumping around. For jumping the fuck around. For fucking off crappy moods. For ebullient bouncing and feeling badass.

Happy
by Pharrell
#thingsthatmakemehappy great books, things my son says, good days at work, epic landscapes, cheesecake, bed, geeky films, writing geeky poems, walking in the rain, crumble.

I Want You
by Bob Dylan
Applying a liberal slathering of Bob to the workload multiplies efficiency by 17.5% and disguises your own obstreperous tunelessness completely. Facts.
