Day 1,348 of quarantine. It is apparently a Friday, yet there isn’t any particularly wow-inducing new music. The question begs: is it really Friday at all?

Here are the 17 listenable songs this week ranked with a Shakespearean-level tragedy at the bottom. Listen along (or don’t.) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3BI4rMi2J9Kyt49nX5YUow?si=S87kqUVnS-ajkJFaQQ0F9g">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/...
Lindsay Lohan has waited for a global pandemic, apparently, to release her first single in two hundred years.
Back to Me is decidedly average, but it’s still fourth on the list because it’s Lindsay Lohan. This wasn’t the follow-up to ‘Bossy’ we needed. https://open.spotify.com/track/6davZgttyPQpw5JWnG3hRI?si=28g1ef3CSuCQ6Upt9aSzfA">https://open.spotify.com/track/6da...

Didn’t hate Emma Blackery’s ‘Wolves’ but it lacks the catchiness and danceability of her previous singles like Cute Without You and Dirt so it’s lumped in at fifth: https://open.spotify.com/track/7Grdn9LNzMLxtD8i6KIJ3s?si=w-PxCWe-RIuhux0qpHc_5Q">https://open.spotify.com/track/7Gr...
Despite album delay after album delay, pop connoisseuse Nerina Pallot has sated me a bit with a few releases of unreleased stuff and now some covers.
This Drake cover is very good (but acoustic) save for the needless pronoun alterations: https://open.spotify.com/track/2fig4RWFTKuFYXZOMowhwx?si=e1fU_sBdRey8gCD22LtrBw">https://open.spotify.com/track/2fi...

Paula’s ‘Wanted U’ is ‘best song of the week’ because I found it most interesting, I guess. https://open.spotify.com/track/5I64Bg2Pyoks7lIDYgllOY?si=gwm57BoUS3O0aAeRxsH4qQ">https://open.spotify.com/track/5I6...
I will, as previously mentioned, not be discussing the b*ring as f*ck song by Tr*ye S*van.
KELLA’s new release is fine. Solid 5. Maybe a 6. Still the week’s third best release! https://open.spotify.com/track/11JlDV2Bwj6ldwgpsVrBIj?si=P69U_616RB2fisAtXJDHtA">https://open.spotify.com/track/11J...
The utterly fucking worst song of the week is Jake Quickenden’s ‘Quarantine Song’ which is about as bad as you’d expect (which is, for posterity, fucking *dreadful*.) https://open.spotify.com/track/3RNuYmrlC0jXTbiPKlEoGw?si=Fkbkf9IPT3-RWONEHbHNrQ">https://open.spotify.com/track/3RN...
Phil Good’s ‘Living With No One’ is nice and I’ll probably listen to it a few times so maybe it should be higher up the list. The “it’s just me, myself and all my emotions” bits are nice. https://open.spotify.com/track/7imMaU3xinJn9QQITBDMwQ?si=90ZL0V9ERTyTG5ss6MeWHg">https://open.spotify.com/track/7im...
So, yes, that’s probably the end of everything worth a note. It’s not been a very exciting week, many apologies. I suppose I could discuss something important like the NHS or sticking together during a crisis but that’s not what this thread is for, really, is it?
No, it isn’t.
Before this thread starts (keeps) going absolutely fucking nowhere: Old(ish) But Great this week is Tokyo Nights by Digital Farm Animals, Shaun Frank and Dragonette. https://open.spotify.com/track/3TxKtkCNR1yQARsvHxvNnP?si=X17HjsejT2Kd5SqgaU4cNA">https://open.spotify.com/track/3Tx...
Current Jams is jammed with current bangers. It’s updated daily, so keep yourself informed by FOLLOWING IT or not or just listening or whatevs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Mwn3x7vvr8rTbQnKXqSoh?si=URfX8moYRviYRhKGYNoD6Q">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/...
Nothing was quite bangery enough to be added to my Best of 2020 this week, so it remains untouched which is still quite good regardless: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7tzOZ5MxVfa6YBb2BApokQ?si=Il0qb2KASmiQnnALefDxeA">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/...
Laters!
