Yaaaaaayy

october annotating my month playlist (cheating, my actual playlist was a whopping 42 songs long this time around! not doing all that though) (actually i would do more but im sticking to 24)
  1. Last Romeo - INFINITE : was watching a video where L (not from death note) (one of three of the guys i know) is with shownu (if that's how to spell his name) and jungwoo and the song is mentioned. one im not familiar with but i looked it up and it was fire; was watching their dance practice and it was like cocomelon for my impressionable (?) mind. or at least thats what i wrote about it in a note to self
  2. My My - Apink :
  3. Nobody Knows Me At All - The Weepies, Deb Talan, Steve Tannen : must have found it from a playlist but i forget which
  4. Company - Tinashe : "sassy womandemic"
  5. Sorry - Madonna : see above
  6. Bubble - STAYC :
  7. VALENTINE - JYJ : really only for junsu and also jaejoong. after a comment someone made about wanting to see jaejoong sing "put a hickey on my neck" with how he is now at their concert in november; side note, speaking of the concert, imagine them singing Maximum and performing it like ot2 tvxq Like I would Scream. no thats so weird also it would never happen. but let me and the 5 other people in the comments of the audio from the dance practice where they were practicing to the version of the song recorded before they left entertain this absurd hypothetical.
  8. Harlem's Nocturne - Alicia Keys : seen from someone from high school whose face i recognize
  9. Gotta Get Thru This - D'N'D Radio Edit - Daniel Bedingfield, D'N'D Productions :
  10. 遺忘 - Winnie Hsin : song i recognize from my dad's mp3 files. identified it by coincidence; he was playing a different song from the same artist in the car ride back from seeing leaves and i guessed (correctly. because im Genius) that it was from around the mid 90s since it sounded like a song by the cranberries or faye wong ("Wáng Fēi")
  11. worst case scenario - 네스티요나 : from a friend's playlist; also coincidentally found yona's instagram a few days prior and it was inspiring
  12. WHERE ARE YOU? "MY HERO" - Tommy february6 : haha! like "HERO" "Youngwoong Jae-joong" "JEJUNG"
  13. You Make Me Want To Be A Man - Utada :
  14. Call my name - BoA : a few days of listening to 私このままでいいのかな (2018 japanese (oh no kidding) album) and this came on shuffle afterward
  15. LET ME SEE - JYJ :
  16. Whiplash - aespa : as a general rule i follow female artists broadly and casually and i follow male artists selectively and obsessively; its kind of weird when i hear my sister listening to aespa. that's my thing. funny thing i noticed: they have a song titled "just another girl" (like. Like. froooom) in this mini album (but sorry girls postmalone "alternative" will never compare to real 2013 angst). funny thing i didn't myself notice: another song has its chorus themed around "flowers" and "gardens"
  17. FRONT LEFT SPEAKER - deBasement : from someone's "as of recent" playlist
  18. Club classics featuring bb trickz - Charli xcx, Bb trickz : see above
  19. I'm Every Woman - Whitney Houston : from a joke i made about how i was going to wear a tie and a white button up shirt for halloween to be light yagami from deathnote (but really i could be any and "every woman")
  20. All Night - Girls Generation :
  21. Another Life (feat. Rema) - PinkPantheress, Rema :
  22. Crash - Gwen Stefani : from a daylist playlist, probably based on the days i was listening to "sassy womandemic"
  23. Forgotten Season - TVXQ! : on the last night of the 10th month
  24. Light no Theme - Hideki Taniuchi :
