Claire de Lune= max chill
This version comes up every now and then on my YouTube suggestions
Any guitar nerds will appreciate the charlie christian pickup he has on that tele (Tweedy does the same swap out on one of his)

On this Clair de Lune video, there is a guy who goes by the name mrtortla3895 who has posted a short paragraph about his day, every day, for the last 971 days in the comments.

Once every few weeks, I listen to the song whilst reading his posts. I can't explain the feeling it gives me, but there's such beauty and catharsis in the mundanity of day to day life alongside the music.

Today's post;

[George Homme]

@T4920 it happens that Summer time causes me sadness for some reason. Yesterday i was thinking a similar concept. A little different though. Buy an 120page notebook and write something every single day listening to a song. I am seeing it as process for summer to end.

[T4920]

@George-Homme
Day 1: I am sad because I can't wear my 25oz jeans today, it is too hot...
Day 2: I am sad because I worn my 25oz jeans and now they are sweaty and smelly...
Day 3: I am sad because I had to wash my 25oz jeans
Day 4: I am sad because I shouldn't have washed my 25oz jeans

Summer of sadness, IH style

@Steve @AdamJ Jesus, I thought I was quick getting my submissions in...

[SKT]

@Tago-Mago my first 3 picks were already taken! Everyone is on it for this round

[Steve]

@Tago-Mago I normally get a notification telling me a round had ended, a round is starting, on both my watch and phone in the middle of the night - and then notice it in the morning and panic to get a song! As @SKT says - on it this round!

[Tago Mago]

@SKT curious to hear your original picks once everyone has submitted

[SKT]

@Tago-Mago I’ll post em.

[endo]

bloody hell, was not the only one thinking of a song that has been played on the River Thames

[ARNC]

I wasn’t expecting this to come round so fast either - someone must be getting their first choices but it’s not me! In a spirit of protest, maybe we shouldn’t vote for people who nicked our songs

[SKT]

@ARNC I mean it’s only fair

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC @SKT you snooze you lose

[chrisjohnnick]

jeez y'all. I won't even have time to dig into this until tonight or tomorrow morning.

[Mizmazzle]

Quick draw McGraws!!! Can’t believe I slipped one in being so late to the party!

[Steve]

Lots of good songs to choose from on this round - I've almost changed my selection twice already!

[GraemeE]

Close runners up for my pics for this round:
Sun Ra - Nuclear War
Ellington - Black and Tan Fantasy
Flying Burrito Bros - My Uncle
Sam Cooke - Change is Gonna Come

[Mizmazzle]

Really dig that James McMurtry song. Like the overall tone of “Fuck You” in this playlist

[SKT]

@Tago-Mago these are the ones that were already taken…

Marvin Gaye-What’s Going On
Public Enemy-Fight the Power
Rage Against the Machine-Gorilla Radio (exact song wasn’t taken but band already in play)

Some good stuff again
