Orientation is online. Study is online. What the actual fuck? They keep saying we were prepped and ready for this but honestly, I don’t know how true that really is. So while we’re all stuck in our bedrooms reading the same weekly readings over and over again, here are some beats that will help us all get through it. Or hopefully get us to chill out for at least five fucking minutes.
Friday I’m In Love – Phoebe Bridgers
A modern classic at its absolute finest. As a massive The Cure fan (and queer), Phoebe Bridgers comes with the territory. This song is enough to make any BA student froth at the mouth. If you’re ever sat there staring out the window and contemplating your 1500 word review on David Lynch, this slow jam will keep your mind on track. Promise.
Male Fantasy – Billie Eilish
We’re already well aware of the greatness that is Billie Eilish, but sometimes her tracks don’t get nearly as much love as those pesky singles. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I’m in the mood for some post-punk, fuck-the-patriachy type vibes, however Male Fantasy scratches the itch of mind-numbing stupidity. It also sets the mood for some study in the rain.
Sawteeth – Spacey Jane
As someone who has a god complex, Spacey Jane is the soundtrack to my life. In the realm of Triple J hot 100, Spacey Jane dominates, so why wouldn’t they make a cheeky appearance? Take the Puberty Blues vibes and the insatiable need to pack up and disappear to coastal Australia without telling your whānau and you have Sawteeth. Obviously with covid we can’t go fucking anywhere, so your imagination will have to suffice.
Je te laisserai des mots – Patrick Watson
Wanna have a fat fucking cry? We got you.
leading me on but i’m not mad about it – remy
We do love a king who utilises lowercase letters. Remy has a grasp on all of our throats and if you’re not in the lucky group that loves this man: welcome. If you’re wanting something a bit more upbeat that helps your brain engage in those weekly readings, this is the song for you. Get your beat up corded headphones out and simply just vibe.
Main Title The Shining – Wendy Carlos
Left field song for you tīma, but good luck not getting chills. Shit pops off.
