TTT #44: Cliff Diving
Today's playlist is a little late. I have been thinking of cliff diving all night. Why? No clue. I am not even remotely located anywhere within 12 hours drive of a decent cliff for cliff diving. I also cannot swim. I am probably not a good candidate for cliff diving.
I still want to stand to the edge of a cliff...listening to this playlist...

That Bassline To Work Up The Nerve
Q.U.E.E.N. - Janelle Monae & Erykah Badu
Ya know I was going to comment on her poofy hair and how much I like poofy hair but I suddenly realized I don't know what the acronym Q.U.E.E.N. stand for. Imma Google it. Brb...
How did your “Q.U.E.E.N.” collaboration with Erykah Badu come about?
Well, “Q.U.E.E.N.” is an acronym and I can’t reveal too much about it except for, it is inspired by private conversations that she and I had. We’re really close, so it’s a lot of private conversations that we’ve had.
The world may never know...bass line still jams though.
Chickened Out. Backed Away From The Edge...Gonna Try Again...
Burn It Down - AWOLNATION
This song for me is all about the drums and the little riff right after the chorus. That little pill-harpsichord-esque thing. Just gets me pumped. Pumped enough to jump off a cliff...who knows...
Approached The Edge of The Cliff...Not Enjoying The Synergy of The Playlist
Cracks (Flux Pavilion Remix)- Freestylers
I looked up the original Cracks. I don't like it. This version I like. Always listen to this version.
Always. I am normally a huge proponent of original over remix, not this time. That's even though the original band has a guy that from far away probably gets confused for Jon Lovitz a lot.
Was Able To Stay At The Edge Even Though The Previous Song Was About Cracks
Firefly - The White Panda
Keeping in the vein of remix-y type stuff, I give you The White Panda. This song is a mash up of four different songs. Ellie Goulding - "Anything Could Happen", A$AP Rocky ft Kendrick Lamar - "F*ckin' Problems", Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Snow (Hey Oh)", Lumineers - "Ho Hey". I think all of these songs, while completely different, come together wonderfully. Showing that electronic musicians do, in fact, have talent.
The Jump...The Water Below...
The Wave - Miike Snow
Not really sure what is going on in that picture up there. As I look at it though I have a flood of quotes from Office Space. A truly good movie. If you have never seen it you owe it to yourself to see it...
See?
The Fall...Be Straight...Hold Head...
This Head I Hold - Electric Guest
*dances* I go higher...
Splash Down...Weightlessness...
Space Travel - Savoir Adore
Here is a band I think I need to see live. I just really wish I didn't have to drive for 3 hours to go see a decent band. Yeah, the Party By The Pool concert series here in town is nice, but they will never anything like this.
I wanna see The Weepies again =-(
Swim To Safety...Bones Intact...
Your Bones - Of Monsters & Men
I just really love this song. I can't say that enough, honestly. It just has a really mellow groove that clicks with me. The harmonies. It has a large band sound while still sounding intimate.
I. Love. This. Song.
Alas, that is it for this week folks. Thanks for going cliff diving with me. I had fun.
Until next time,
