The 22: OOooh

This week’s (month’s sorry!) The 22 is all about LE SIGH. Things that make you sigh for good and bad. Feeling loved, sigh. Feeling doubtful about America, sigh. Feeling broke, sigh. Feeling that first breeze of autumn, sigh. My favorite audible emotion.

The 22. Every week, we’ll be sharing a new set of 22 tracks, spanning different genres and decades. Some will be themed, some won’t. In addition, we’re launching the FuckYeahMusicBlog Spotify profile, so you can easily follow us and get your new list every week. Oh, and just a couple listening suggestions. We arrange these lists to listen to straight through, but if you have to shuffle we won’t judge. Also, we have our Spotify set to a crossfade (this one was made with an 8-second crossfade) which we think gives the list a really fluid feel. Change your settings if you are so inclined.

The 22: antiHISTAMINE

if you’re like me this week, you’ve spent it hopped up on allergy meds enough to tranquilize a shetland pony. This week’s The 22 will guide you out of the pollen induced haze with enough #bangerz and #grooves to shake out even the headiest nasal congestion. It might be the sneezing season, but you woke up to new LCD Soundsystem in the world and that, my friends, is enough reason to keep living even if you have to buy Kleenex in bulk for a few more weeks.

TGIM said no one ever, unless you were awaiting this The 22! It’s a twidderpated list of pairings this week -- each song has a partner that echoes the other while also considering pairs o’people, places, and things tied together with a mandolin riff. Enjoy the matchmaking game.

ahhh i identify with this so much. i am really tired of being told that i am part of the 'post-racial future' by lazy liberals who can't be bothered to do their homework (because I'm light/ambiguous, hey). like, let me tell you about how my family is divided along color lines, and then you tell me all about that post-racial future you're planning, whitewash, let alone current events in the US. eej.

i'm also tired of being racially ambiguous sometimes, because then i get let into 'well us white people' kind of convos that i in no way, shape or form want to be a part of. then i have to be like, "actually NO HALT STOP ADVERTENCIA WE ARE NO LONGER FRIENDS MANTENGASEEEEE" and then we get to have that "I know *you're* not racist, but what you said sooooounds racist" talk a la Jay Smooth, when what i really mean is, "you are racist, please piss off and do your homework."

Miguel - Wildheart (FYMB edit), a playlist on Spotify

The cover art of Miguel’s new album Wildheart consists of Miguel’s naked tattooed torso holding a folded naked woman in front of him in a magnificent storm of clouds and stars. As album covers go, it’s pretty fucking accurate to what’s inside. The album itself is indeed an epic storm of sex, clouds and stars. It’s also just a *teeny* bit uneven. In trying to broaden his approach, Miguel pushes himself into territories that start to lose tunefulness, which is sad because tunefulness is what Miguel does best.

So, being the assholes we are, we thought ‘hey, there’s still enough here to make a really great album, so let’s just re-sequence it?’ And thus is the link at the top. 10 tracks, 36 minutes, and incredibly guitar-driven (and it includes that song he wrote for Girls, which should’ve been on the album in the first place). Enjoy!
