Jukebox HMS Redux

I have half a script I could modify to automatically maintain a YouTube playlist. Would be some time before I could get around to it though…

Edit: it looks like it might be easier than I thought, I’ll see if I can whip up something quick tonight.

Edit 2: this would be easy if paginating the Discourse API was documented, but I can’t find that :confused:

******* Slightly NSFW (No nudity but some sexual situation) **********

Junip - Line of Fire

[details=Lyrics]What would you do
If it all came back to you?
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning

What would you say
If you had to leave today?
Leave everything behind
Even though for once, you’re shining

Standing on higher ground
When you hear the sounds
You realize its just the wind
And you notice it matters who and what you let under your skin

If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire?
Hold everything back
All emotion set aside it

Convince yourself
Someone else
Hide from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Takes you as you fall
Takes you as you fall

No one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
You’re backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire

What would you do
If it all came back to you?
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning
Do the same as you

What you choose to believe in
Takes you as you fall

No one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
You’re backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire[/details]

The sun is out in Seattle finally! Woooooo

Washed Out - Feel It All Around

[details=Lyrics]You feel it all around yourself
You know it’s yours and no one else
You feel the thought of learning again
It’s all around
You’re tired of all the things you did
You’ll work it out

You feel it all around yourself
You know it’s yours and no one else
You feel the thought of learning again
It’s all around
You’re tired of all the things you did
You’ll work it out[/details]

Okay, sooo these will only be updated intermittently for now because (boring technical details) but here are the current youtube video playlists for this thread:

Sorry, I removed the links because they were connected to my real life accounts and I realised I’m extremely uncomfortable sharing that information here given a lot of things I’ve been reading here lately :confused: Maybe I can figure out how to rehost on an anonymous account.

Maybe NSFW: A few seconds of two shirtless guys in bed. One naked guy butt for a couple seconds.
Trigger Warnings: Cheating, the end of a relationship, loss, drinking the pain away

Beautiful and melancholy. I wish our society had something between one night stands and marriage. Something more fluid that allowed intense passion without that turning into entangled finances and staying together being the default.

The Irrepressibles - ALWAYS ON MY MIND

[details=Summary]Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn’t love you

Quite as often as I could
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you’re mine
If I made you feel second best
I’m so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me
One more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied

Little things that I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me
One more chance to keep you satisfied
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely lonely times
I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you’re mine[/details]

I heard and enjoyed the new alt-J song In Cold Blood, with its britpop vocals and horn blasts, but it most definitely didn’t prepare me for the last song on their new album, which features an orchestra and boys’ choir singing How Green Is My Valley. It takes awhile to get going; the song proper starts around 2:20.

Probably about a decade ago, I came across a podcast put out by Air France that had a collection of songs that I found pleasing. They put it out right around that year’s Cannes movie festival, and most of the songs had a movie tie-in.

Anyway, after a couple of cell phone changes, I lost the file, and unlike everything else on the internet, I couldn’t ever find the file again. Not even the play list. The names and artists didn’t accompany the file, so I never knew the details of the songs, and only out of sheer luck was I able to cobble together a couple of titles and artists when I recognized the songs out in the wild.

Over the years, I tried several times to find the whole playlist, without any success. Recently though, I stumbled across it on Spotify. Apparently someone else thought the podcast was good enough to preserve. I went ahead and recreated it on Google Play, too. You can listen to it from either sources.

Through the light, light as a feather, you come down. Like a snowflake, spiraling down - featherlight.
