It’s Saturday night and way too late to be doing anything productive, so I decided to make myself a new playlist. It’s funny how one can make totally random connections between different pieces of music in a way that makes no rational sense yet somehow feels right. When I make a playlist, the song that I begin with reminds me of another song, which in turn reminds me of something else, and these random associations combine together to create some sort of a meaning. It seems that listening to songs in a certain order and arrangement drastically changes one’s experience – when random songs are put together, they begin to interact with each other in a peculiar way.
In the past, my playlists usually revolved around different genres or particular moods. I’d have a “hip-hop” playlist that I would listen to in the morning, a “chillax” playlist that I would listen to before going to sleep, and everything in between. Well, I was sitting here just now, listening to Snoop’s “Gin and juice”, and I began to think that a thematic playlist would be kinda cool. Since I’m starting with “Gin and juice”, the title of the song naturally led me to think of other songs that are about various addictive substances, 😀
So, there it goes, my new playlist:
Snoop Dogg “Gin and Juice”
Chris de Burgh “Moonlight and vodka”
Cypress Hill “Tequila sunrise”
Nazareth “Whiskey drinkin’ woman”
Salt n Pepa “Champagne”
Oasis “Cigarettes and alcohol”
Земфира “Сигареты”
Кино “Пачка сигарет”
Нисванис “Би тамхиа татаад дуусаж байна”
Сплин “Мы сидели и курили”
Frank Sinatra “Black Coffee”
Tricky “Black coffee”
ATB “Ecstasy”
Bone Thugs N Harmony “Ecstasy”
Bone Thugs N Harmony “Weed song”
Green Day “Give me novocaine”
Bonus track: De-Phazz “Death by chocolate”
And now I better go to sleep (I wonder if anybody has ever made a song about sleep aids).
PS: word of the day:
Chasuble – the outermost liturgical vestment worn by clergy for the celebration of the Eucharist among Western-tradition Christian churches that use full vestments, primarily the Roman Catholic Church and ‘high church’ congregations in the Anglican Church.
