#playlist

[rrrofthevale]

Tidal | Spotify

(Not a playlist for the second season, more a collection of sadboi Edward songs I've been kicking around for the past 9 months)

Playlist title card is, once again, a J.M.W. Turner painting: "Sunrise with Sea Monsters".

↓↓ See below for tracklist ↓↓

Keaton Henson / Mary Celeste write a song with no lyrics, welcome home in good spirits

The National / Sea of Love hey, Joe, sorry I hurt you, but they say love is a virtue, don't they?

Queens of the Stone Age / Fairweather Friends when the sun is gone, well, so are you

Arctic Monkeys / All My Own Stunts been watching cowboy films on gloomy afternoons

IDLES / Samaritans this is why you never see your father cry

Modest Mouse / March into the Sea let's shake hands if you want, but soon both hands are gone

The Highwaymen / Highwayman with sword and pistol by my side

Kele / Smalltown Boy the answers you seek will never be found at home

Glass Animals / It's All So Incredibly Loud heartbreak was never so loud

Alcest / Sur l'océan couleur de fer parfois au loin se laissait voir un feu qui se balance

Low Roar / Help Me what's left to talk about?

Radiohead / There, There (The Bony King of Nowhere) there's always a siren singing you to shipwreck

Mitski / I Bet on Losing Dogs i always want you when i'm finally fine

Brand New / Same Logic/Teeth you thought you'd shed a layer, maybe try on some new skin

The Killers / Bling (Confessions of a King) i ran with the devil, left a trail of excuses

The Smiths / There Is a Light That Never Goes Out then a strange fear gripped me and i just couldn't ask

Calexico / Black Heart black heart, crawling its way to the four corners of the world

Neil Young / Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) * it's better to burn out, 'cause rust never sleeps * I'd recommend listening to this playlist on Tidal, since Neil Young, totally understandably, pulled his catalogue from Spotify, because Spotify is garbage tbh

#our flag means death #edward teach #stede bonnet #stedeward #ofmd #playlist #this playlist exists because i wanted to put that keaton henson thing on something that's it that's all

[rrrofthevale]

Tidal | Spotify

I don't know how this podcast evaded my attention until the year of our Lord, 2023, considering how thoroughly it is up my alley (and how much crossover there apparently is with the Magnus fanbase), but them's the breaks. It has been eating my brain for the past 2 weeks and has single-poddedly rejuvenated my somewhat lapsed interest in Lovecraft's messy lore. Obviously, I needed to make a playlist to cope.

(P.S. Arthur is definitely for sure a fan of Chopin for ✨reasons✨, there, I said it, that means it's [internet] canon now)

↓↓ See below for tracklist ↓↓

Frederic Chopin / Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 23 (performed by Krystian Zimerman)

Mel Torme / Gloomy Sunday would they be angry if I thought of joining you?

Son Lux / Forty Screams i had wanted a better world for you

Swans / Love Will Save You and love will save you from your misery, then tie you to the bloody post

Depeche Mode / Walking in My Shoes you'll stumble in my footsteps

Oingo Boingo / Insanity i'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart

King Crimson / Starless gold through my eyes, but my eyes turned within only see starless and Bible-black

Fleetwood Mac / Dreams like a heartbeat drives you mad in the stillness of remembering what you had and what you lost

Zola Jesus / Lost flare gone missing, turning dark

Opeth / Chrysalis discard your disarray and your rusted crown and face the wretched image of you and i

Sea Power / Want to Be Free ah, the gander and the hunter and the gatherer feel like a traveller from another planet

The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble / Embers fallen is the promise of ever embracing you

Metallica / The Thing that Should Not Be (feat. Michael Kamen cond. the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra) not dead which eternal lie; stranger eons, death may die

Brand New / I Am a Nightmare turn tin to gold, i want pure energy; throw everything i own into the fire

Lord Huron / Way Out There i've been tending old flames, lamenting what was, drifting in a land that time forgot

#malevolent #malevolent podcast #arthur lester #john doe malevolent #lovecraftian #one of my great joys is taking innocuous pop songs and twisting them for nefarious metaphorical purposes in playlists #idk why i was bound and determined to try and make the graphic look like a sci-fi novel from the 70's but i was #so many divorce songs

[rrrofthevale]

Tidal | Spotify

My original goal here was to make a MAG playlist only using major-key pop songs, which got downgraded to only using "radio-friendly" songs, and I'd say I was about...50% successful.

I blame God Bless Our Dead Marines for throwing me off, but I had to shoehorn in an ASMZ or GY!BE song after listening to Jonathan Sims talk about how most of his MAG-writing music was old Canadian men talking on ham radios or whatever in that one Q&A.

↓↓ Tracklist, because I've learned my lesson with streaming platforms lol ↓↓

The Cure / Why Can't I Be You? you turn my head when you turn around

Iggy Pop / Neighborhood Threat down where your paint is cracking

Ghost / Griftwood i'm your rock, baby

Puscifer / Galileo his heresy feeds us all

Clarence Clarity (feat. Kill J) / Buck-Toothed Particle Smashers was it genetic? did you catch it?

A Silver Mt. Zion / God Bless Our Dead Marines no one knew or no one cared but burning stars lit up their hair

The Dillinger Escape Plan / Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants oh baby, gnaw me down to the bone

Danzig / Until You Call on the Dark can't you see it now, how black your future will be?

TV on the Radio / Wolf Like Me you're a hideous thing inside

Nicole Dollanganger / Executioner how sad to face the judgement, unprepared to meet your god

The Beatles / Eleanor Rigby who is it for?

Róisin Murphy / Ramalama (Bang Bang) everybody smile, please

Mike + The Mechanics / Silent Running believe in me, i'm with the high command

Poppy / Meat hang me up and strip me clean

Susanne Sundfør / Accelerate it's out of our hands, so baby let go

whither have the worthy gone, o where is fair gawain? / of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly bears the crown / glitter on the wet streets, silver over everything / the bind is bitter and the bind is blind, split down the middle while you waste your time / they sang to me, 'this is yours to wear, there's no turning back now' / if you start doubting me, i start to doubt myself / þegar skammdegið er svartast skína næturblómin bjartast when midwinter is at its darkest, the nightflowers shine the brightest / where innocence is burned in flames, a million miles from home / hang on to your hopes, my friend / confusion will be my epitaph as i crawl a cracked and broken path / kvervarsyn lyg og løyner, ljodspindel byt lyst for vit the turnsight hides and lies, the sound-spindle trades you lust for wits / will they dance with us this night? / it's just how you phrase it, it's not what you mean / i owe you, don't i? a little light today, but tomorrow... / never again is what you swore the time before / when all is said and done, it will be you who pays the price / oh, no, you can't disguise / you don't have to say what you did, i already know / heavenly father, forgive me, for I have sinned against your word in sadness and joy, in rainbow light and the dark woods / to dissolve myself into emptiness and to rise again with one stone less

Honorable mention goes to Sunshine the Werewolf by The Dillinger Escape Plan, a song about bugchasing which arguably fits The Corruption better than either of the songs I actually included, but which I felt was too hard for this playlist. There is a wonderful, mostly-instrumental cover of the song here, but alas, it’s not available on Spotify.

Also, as you can see if you full-view the track list/liner notes, this was created in early May and I completely forgot to post it. Whoops.

#the magnus archives #playlist #the great fears #should have gone for a dan barrett hat trick and found a black wing song to shoehorn in here #honestly it's just a good thing that i didn't publish the first draft of this because it would be ulver's 'blood inside' and nothing else #sorry if you wear glasses tumblr won't let me upload a high-res version of the liner notes :(
