My tracks...
Conga
Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine
In college, I would drive from Newark Ohio to Columbus on Friday nights to crash with my brother before we went to the OSU football game the next day.
The nights usually involves far too much drinking, as is sadly normal for college.
My brother would wake me up at 7am with this song, blaring as loud as he could, so we could go get breakfast, buy booze for the pregame party, and then get to partying.
There were at least a few times where we were on the roof of a house shooting water balloons out of a 2 person slingshot onto the street
It's a good song to get your day going to
If Your Mother Only Knew (Live Edit)
Rahzel
I was scrolling through youtube this morning with my coffee, and it recommended a mix of music based on Rahzel. I haven't listened to his stuff in a while, but when I was in high school I would go through this album multiple times a day.
And in looking up his wikipedia page, I just learned he was the voice of SSX and SSX Tricky!
The movie that goes with this song - Outside Out - is one of my favorites.
It may be because every time I watched it I was very much under the influence of mind altering substances, but it has been a different movie every time, which weirdly fits into the narrative of the movie.
This song immediately puts me in a foggy headspace
This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)
Talking Heads
Sadly the exact version of the song isn't available to pick, but this remix set in the American Psycho universe is so good - https://youtu.be/G29d6RDSK1c?si=4tJ8i8nIjjE9ToV5
It is one of those tracks that just makes my brain calm

Thou Shalt Always Kill
dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip
What's your favorite opening line from any song?
I just heard this song for the first time today and it feels like it could have been written last week, even though the video was from 14 years ago.
"Thou shall not steal if there is a direct victim" is a damn strong opening line
This Is America
Childish Gambino
Given everything going on, and how overwhelming it feels... I'm brought back to the morning I woke up and saw a new Gambino track had dropped.
I remember laying in bed watching the video over and over, blown away by how well it held a mirror up to the ingrained hate in our society.
