I've been listening to a lot of Eisley's "Ambulance while writing Secret Heart. It ties into the rejection theme nicely. I need an ambulance I took, I took the worst of the blow Send me a redeemer Let me know if I'm gonna be alright Am I gonna be alright? 'Cause I know how it … Continue reading Rejection Playlist Volume 3, Track 4 “Ambulance”
Secret Heart Playlist: Track 1 “Closer”
I'm deeply immersed in some rewrites and revisions for Secret Heart. As I've said before, in order to get into a character's head, I need to know their at-bat song. For Avery, my out-and-proud lesbian punk-rocker with a weakness for rom-coms and Taylor Swift, her at-bat track is Tegan and Sara's "Closer." It's only fitting, considering that … Continue reading Secret Heart Playlist: Track 1 “Closer”
Rejection Playlist Volume 3, Track 3: “Strange Days”
I've been listening to a lot of We Are Augustines lately. Their songs fit seamlessly into the scenes I'm writing for Valentine and the music blends nicely for the rainy weather that has settled back over for Seattle (time to break out the Bourbon and start a fire in the fireplace and throw some beef stew … Continue reading Rejection Playlist Volume 3, Track 3: “Strange Days”
Mortification Monday
Today's entry comes from May, 15th 1995. I confess my grades, my wishes for high school, and bathing suit shopping.
Rejection Playlist Volume 3, Track 2: “Bad Day”
I've had my fair share of bad days recently. As much as they suck, the really good days wouldn't feel that way if I hadn't just experience a shitstorm of sadness. Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" is a perfect song to play during said shitstorms. Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You … Continue reading Rejection Playlist Volume 3, Track 2: “Bad Day”
Rejection Playlist Volume 3, Track 1″Can’t Stand Me Now”
This Libertine's song from 2004 is a perfect start to Volume 3 of the Rejection Playlist. It's the classic Indie Rock (and Indie Author) anthem. Oh, you can't stand me now (No, you can't stand me now) You can't stand me now (Oh, you can't stand me now) You can't stand me now (No, … Continue reading Rejection Playlist Volume 3, Track 1″Can’t Stand Me Now”
Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 13 “Fireproof.”
If last week I was "bulletproof" then today I'm "fireproof." As soon as I heard The National's new album knew I needed to add one last track to Volume 2 of the Inspiration Playlist. You’re fireproof Nothing breaks your heart You’re fireproof How’d you get so far? You're a needle in the hay You're the … Continue reading Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 13 “Fireproof.”
Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 12 “Titanium”
This is one of my current favorite songs. I've been pretty much blasting it nonstop, despite the fact I'm at least two years behind when it was popular. I'd actually never heard it until I saw "Pitch Perfect." You shout it out, But I can't hear a word you say I'm talking loud not saying … Continue reading Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 12 “Titanium”
Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 11″Thank You”
Since I'm all about the 90's angry girl music as of late, this classic Alanis song is perfect for my playlist. Confession: my high school bff and I went to her concert in Seattle last year. Our 15 year-old selves thanked us. Thank you India Thank you terror Thank you disillusionment Thank you frailty Thank … Continue reading Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 11″Thank You”
Mortification Monday
