Rec | STREET HASSLE

🕶️

Rec'd on 😬 What is the most PSYCHICALLY disturbing music you have ever heard?

Speaking of Lou… What he could do with noise he could do with words too. This is one of my favorite truly narrative songs, and for me the most disturbing. When a certain character comes in near the end and tells the main speaker to head out… it’s with a rotten, bone-chilling, evil nonchalance that makes me feel sick for participating. His indifference to life outside himself is complete, and he looks you dead in the eyes expects the same :(

they made this for when you want that Lou Reed “Street Hassle” vibe but you don’t want to accidentally slip into a deep depression

Folk Song

If I've ever talked with you about music, we've probably talked about LUCY. The ultra-prolific Western Mass cult hero has been the most important artist in my life for the past seven years. In 2024, he released three albums. Beyond that, he's cooking on at least four active side projects. In my book, everything he releases is required-listening. So it would be impossible to choose a true favorite. The depth of LUCY's catalogue is one of the special things about his work. But I narrowed it down by focusing on his last release: Cooper B. Handy's Album Vol. 9. This one is dense -- a lotta gems. Here's a playlist of all the vol. 9 songs I really hope you'll listen to. Among those, "Folk Song" stands out. I'm obsessed with the switch-up from the verse to the chorus. Every day, I walk around with a million LUCY lines floating in my head. This song has a bunch of them: Who you gonna call when the levee runs dry? Said fuck the cops -- cuz they got the wrong girl and they got the wrong guy You got a thing for the world I can see it in your eyes Said fuck the cops -- cuz they got the wrong girl and they got the wrong guy They put him in the ground and I see him in the sky I got a thing for the world you can see it in my eyes. Money -- people kill for that money ... Who you gonna call when you wanna know why? They put you on hold, and you watch another day go by
