Also, I'm excited to see a new playlist and I forgot to compliment you for the last one. GOOD WORK. Any playlist containing a meandering 20-minute guitar piece (where the artist breaks out vocals at the very end) gets my stamp of approval. In honor of your fine work, I will flip off every seagull I see for the remainder of the year. And I will report back after I listen to this month's playlist, I know you will be waiting on pins and needles. Good day.
I have spent the morning in solitary confinement listening to the Highway Noise playlist, abstaining from bread and water. My official review:
-It should be federal law for every playlist to contain at least one Bon Iver song.
-David Bowie song that makes me want to show off my horrific dance moves, all arms and no lower body? Sure, why not.
-A song called “Daisy Lady” that is chill as hell and reminds me that stripped-down acoustic is the best? Absolutely.
-Technically there are two songs with Bon Iver, which is either a federal crime or wins you the Nobel Prize. I will report back when I find out the length of your jail sentence and/or date of your award banquet.
-I appreciate the eclectic nature of your mixes, I’m not just saying that, where else can I go for artists like Tir na nOg, Fred again.., SOAK, and Agnetha Faltskog? What a collection of names, what uses of punctuation.
-Fuck seagulls, they're perverts of the air, the bird version of ice cream drivers with mustaches. This has nothing to do with the playlist but needs to be said.
-I am disappointed in the lack of 20-minute songs, I really am, why listen to five songs when I could just listen to one? But I digress.
-You’re very good at choosing the correct song to open a playlist. It’s always kind of dreamy and lays a solid foundation for musical exploration. I am very bad at this and usually start every playlist with Rage Against The Machine.
-I am a big fan of closing any playlist with a barrage of grungy guitars. This should also be federal law.
-This concludes my official review, thank you for coming. Fuck seagulls and the horse they rode in on.
OH MY GOD. I just commented on your new article before seeing this and I am quite distraught that you couldn't find a new 20-minute song. I may not get out of bed for the rest of the month. Or eat. Or stop weeping. I definitely won't be celebrating Christmas. Life has no meaning without playlists anchored by obscenely long songs.
Technically, I've already started a music Substack dissecting Substack playlists; you are currently the only subject. And my writing takes place within comments and nowhere else. I guess I dig a niche audience! Or maybe I read three Substacks and you're the only one who posts playlists, either one.
I loooove the intro to this.

This comment made my week. Long live 20-minute songs, f*ck seagulls, etc. etc.

How did I miss this comment, a comment that should be inducted into the comment Hall of Fame?!
I will work on finding a 20-minute song for the next playlist I create, just for you.
Petition for Chris Rawle to start a music Substack dissecting the playlists people post on Substack? (I'd sign.)
