TAYLOOOOOOOOOR!!!
All 240 songs — yes, 240 — in Taylor Mac’s A 24-Decade History of Popular Music will end up on this list one day, whichever year they’re finally, officially released. Until then, I shall savor this glorious hors d’oeuvre, repeatedly.
Sara Bareilles’ emotionally-plush sound + the most hushed heartbreaker in Hamilton = WHY IS IT ONLY 150 SECONDS?!?!?!
On this website, we stan Calvin Harris. TWO SINGLES IN TWO WEEKS ARE WE RAMPING UP TO AN ALBUM?! If so, this list will just become a Calvin playlist by the end of the year. I can defend most of my other artistic obsessions on somewhat objective grounds, whereas Calvin’s music just gets my ass moving in unparalleled ways. Can’t explain it, so I just go with it.
Sex.
Sexy sex. “I was only lying when I looked in your eyes” is one of my favorite lyrics of the year.
