JohnnyoftheWell
07.12.23 | 2.5/5 hit rate for love songs on an unrelated favs post is pretty good going ngl |
Ryus
07.12.23 | i am sure my man sona meant it in a romantic context
i am willing to stretch the definition of love song a fair bit but some decorum is needed
it is a "love" song though true. and an extremely beautiful one at that. one of the most touching tributes in music |

robertsona
07.12.23 | the open ended ness obv key. Maybe secret internal question was like songs that have lyrics that feel like they go about the love subject in an unusual(ly direct? Abstract? Both work) manner that makes them feel a notch more honest/piercing than someone who plugged and played, even passionately.
The Free Design’s “Don’t Turn Away” has this line, delivered so slowly in unison by the members, “don’t turn away from me don’t increase the distance between us when things aren’t right”… |
robertsona
07.12.23 | Really digging the 12 Rods’ new album’s closer “Twice”
“Catch stance on our very last dance
Always turning up a level
Who knocks at my bathroom door?
It's always you, but it's never the same way twice”
I messaged Ryan, the frontman, that “the lyrics point up the mystery of love, which is like if you took the grand mystery of time and combined it with the grand mystery of human nature” he told me it was “very insightful” |

ArsMoriendi
07.13.23 | I guess I'll give it a go, though I've sorta been a sourpuss about love songs lately
Galapagos by Smashing Pumpkins
Golden Lady by Stevie Wonder
C'mon Billy by PJ Harvey
When a Man Is in Love with a Man by of Montreal
Wizard of Finance by Parliament
idk if these are my all-time favorites (except C'mon Billy is for sure) but they're 5 that came to mind |
Ryus
07.13.23 | not even sexual mostly just incredibly sensual. prob the most sensual band |
parksungjoon
07.13.23 | oh yea maybe something by smapu |
ArsMoriendi
07.13.23 | No offense but if I was hooking up with a dude and he put on MBV I'd have to reanalyze how hot he was. If he was under like an 8 I might kick him out |
ArsMoriendi
07.13.23 | If you're gonna play music for sex, play like soul or something
Hiatus Kaiyote, Erykah Badu etc that kinda stuff |
robertsona
07.13.23 | some good songs my exes have shown me:
yo majesty - club action
dolly Parton - here you come again
Fleetwood Mac - I don’t want to know
Vistoso bosses - delirious
The fall - frenz
Kate bush - sunset
Algebra suicide - little dead bodies
Nadia oh - got your number
Paul McCartney - my brave face (DEMO VERSION WITH ELVIS COSTELLO ONLY)
Biz markie cover of “Bennie and the jets” |
robertsona
07.13.23 | Dude it is hot as hell I am sweating |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.13.23 | of actual viable bedroom jams, hiatus kaiyote is one of the more immersion breaking picks i can imagine - who wants to compete with that voice for centre stage? probably a better flirt jam
house is the best sex genre by a lightyear/shoegaze is the best crywank genre by a lightyear // i say this as someone who prefers shoegaze to house |
Ryus
07.13.23 | im never listening to any music during sex tho real talk. not my vibe |
ArsMoriendi
07.13.23 | You're giving people too much credit Johnny, anything with a sensual soul voice works fine |

07.13.23 | “i bring all of the energy, charisma, and raw sexual power to missionary sex that you need”
Ya I bet |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.13.23 | there was a time when my ex from ages ago and i were trying to listen to an hour long david chaim smith/john zorn dark drone piece but the site we were on kept looping the first two minutes, but we didn't notice we got bored waiting for the piece to move on and nature took its course in the meantime, and ever since then my threshold for bedroom jams has completely dropped as long as they are instrumental
mbv would probably be alright tbh if it weren't for the immediate associations with the godawful "sOundz Lyk Femaleorgasm" discourse people have been ineptly thrusting at it since day one. instant moodbreaker |
PotsyTater
07.13.23 | “ Music makes sex better”
I can’t get down with this broad of a generalization. Metal, for instance, makes sex way worse |
Havey
07.13.23 | "dolly Parton - here you come again"
she was a keeper robert |

07.13.23 | “ Metal, for instance, makes sex way worse”
Dann, you’re right. I put prog metal on once getting it on shit was unfuckable |

07.13.23 | I actually distinctly remember the only time I was completely unable to get a le bon bon during my first relationship was when I put on war from a harlots mouth and she started makin out with me |

robertsona
07.13.23 | that was the girl who mostly listened to like Taylor swift but yeah dolly killed it on that one, that song flows so well and the chords and melody are like moving on a level a notch above most love songs. very good love song |
parksungjoon
07.13.23 | >Metal, for instance, makes sex way worse
you are now imagining having sex to tool |
PotsyTater
07.13.23 | Johnny lasted one whole loop |
ArsMoriendi
07.13.23 | Hmmm I could see classic heavy metal working like Thin Lizzy or something
Pretty sure some babies were made to that in the 70s |
Ryus
07.13.23 | i would rather kill myself |
robertsona
07.13.23 | Freshman year of college sure I’d put on music. Often Heaven or Las Vegas front to back since we were both into it, esp opening with that cherry coloured mf funk! Also prince, “slow jamz,” and of course Ariel pink’s “hang on to life” |
PotsyTater
07.13.23 | Wow you know when I was like 16 a girls music taste was really important to me and I’ve since grown to realize how completely and utterly unimportant it is but still if I met a girl and she said she jammed Taylor Swift I’d yeet myself out the nearest window and sprint the whole way home as fast as I could |
pizzamachine
07.13.23 | I met someone that didn’t realize Swizzle was still making music. If I didn’t have a wife that would’ve been a booty call |
PotsyTater
07.13.23 | I mean does she still make music? Or does she just release the same fuckin albums she already released again for Chan to super skeet his rustie Jim’s over |
pizzamachine
07.13.23 | The old Swizzle can come to the phone right now, she’s phoning it in |

JohnnyoftheWell
07.13.23 | taylor swift attempting to copyright "this sick beat" really did be the portent for her entire career to come |
Ryus
07.13.23 | she needs to get back with matty healy asap |
parksungjoon
07.13.23 | taylor swift is basically metallica |
pizzamachine
07.13.23 | Her swag is nonexistent |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.13.23 | TIL that
1) taylor swift's dad bought $300,000 of shares in her label before her debut dropped
2) he was still a shareholder when the label was sold to scooter braun and was represented at the meeting where this was voted upon
3) taylor would have had full, contractually stipulated control over her back catalogue if she had stayed with the label and effectively forfeited this entirely by choosing to leave straight after the sale
so tl;dr her family made a handy profit when scooter bought the label, and her grudge against scooter was so pronounced that she basically made the choice to hand him her catalogue wholesale rather than be a name on his roster
rerecordings looking more like a petty (/massively lucrative) revenge crusade more than ever |
Ryus
07.13.23 | did anyone aside from the stans ever think anything else |
parksungjoon
07.13.23 | better question:
what if the label had been sold to the german group scooter instead |
PotsyTater
07.13.23 | Taylor Swift is a fucking loser and so are all her simps agreed |
