Today's #TuesdayTracks offering is an anthem for anyone who want to be put into little boxes (even if you chose the right little box, though).
Twin Shadow – Too Many Colours
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Wo10RFzxaSE&si=BH5G41zELakzpgGG
Chill fun funk jam. #tuesdaytracks #superlate
https://youtube.com/watch?v=JFbhqeQ8IP8&si=A1I_fzwifBffnrkV found this band thanks to a book from Donald. Late #tuesdaytracks
Today's #TuesdayTracks is a 'just trust me on this one.' It makes a classic sound new and fresh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN75im_us4k
#TuesdayTracks time!
This absolutely killer mixtape of 1990s indie rock by music writer Craig Schuftan:

Perfect for getting housework done.
Dreamy French WLW pop with a crisp crunchy beat for my next entry in #TuesdayTracks.
Christine and the Queens - The Walker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CneMUoqpebo
There's an English version as well but it's a bit less dreamy.
The story — it's about living with impossible pain; making it physical through boxing and going for long walks, challenging bystanders to remark on her injuries.
This track is a heartbreaker. Written by John Grant in response to the toxic debate over same-gender marriage.
John Grant — Glacier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g3CM0l7_Es
'This pain — it is a glacier moving through you — carving out deep valleys — and creating / spectacular landscapes.' Shivers.
(Not wild about the line ending 'and other stuff.' Feels like a writerly cop-out.)
'What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy / and what that boils down to is referred to as hypocrisy.' ✊
It's time for #TuesdayTracks !
Jessie Ware, Róisín Murphy - Freak Me Now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1pOvK9URyU
Funky discopop gorgeousness. Impossible to watch this and remain down or grumpy.
I'm like 6 years late to this clip and two days late for #TuesdayTracks but I am quite literally 'oh my gosh' about the visual concept and execution of this music video.
Jamie XX — Oh My Gosh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTGJfRPLe08
Late #tuesdaytracks. Randomly recommended on Spotify. Reminds me of khruangbin. https://youtu.be/HrLH9JiKQWE
Last for #TuesdayTracks, this pared back techno perfection.
Fatima Yamaha — What's a Girl to Do
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5vLH5YVZLw
Minimalist beat, synths all the way down. Slowest of slow builds but the payoff is dreamy.
From Mali to Ghana: the next of our #TuesdayTracks is a bootleg remix of a powerful song by Ebo Taylor.
Ebo Taylor, Pat Thomas & Henrik Schwarz — Ene Nyame 'A' Mensuro (Henrik Schwarz Blend)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peRso_QItLk
Guarantee this will pick you up if you're not feeling it this Tuesday morning. That funky bassline, those cornets, that driving beat.
Next up on #TuesdayTracks:
Rokia Traoré — Dounia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gPjehP2JpE
This track means business. The plaintive voice set against that grumbling bassline, ooft. Again, very precise but very emotional.
It's time for #TuesdayTracks!
Agnes Obel — The Curse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKEK5mVTOEo
This is acoustic indie pop, both precise and totally dreamy. Calming and inspiring.
I listened to this A LOT during those dark months (years) after I got my bipolar diagnosis.
I like the reverse of taking something popularized by one person and covering it. Then mirroring that with the opening theme. It feels weird. #TuesdayTracks

Following up yesterday's #TuesdayTracks, I made a complementary playlist that represents the 'down' episodes that come with bipolar 2.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1YTKeYe7mQM7ShTWvrRJUV?si=30952f868bdc4027
It's an interesting mix of funky techno, Scandi heartbreakers and ethereally beautiful Atlantic tracks.
#tunesday #tuesdaytracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VXKhJfRQ7k A rollercoaster from some british old folk that @MavIntel had introduced me to.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Hy0XirOXv3M&feature=share busy, in a good way #tuesdaytracks #notTuesday
I'm not sure what this is, but it kept me entranced through the whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deL-qzJjzfI #tuesdaytracks
