Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
ok, what brilliant person picked the Buffy?

Log in to replyI love these playlists! I seriously look forward to the Friday’s that they’re usually posted. The icing on the cake was when you guys added a Laura Marling song; she’s one of my favorite artists, right now.
Log in to replyCome Alive is my absolute favorite Janelle Monae song! <3

Whoa I never even noticed that. Thank you, ayayay!
Log in to replyThe Pizzicato Five is an interesting choice, was it picked because of the translation? My cat knows most of my secrets.
Log in to replyAnybody read the book “The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets”?
Also Mountain Goats + Laura Marling + Janelle Monae?
ROOKIE MARRY ME PLZ.
Log in to replyI saw this tagged Anya Jenkins and thought I was seeing things. Looked back and saw Xander Harris.
LET ME LOVE YOU ROOKIE. I WANT TO GIVE YOU A ZILLION HUGS FOR INCLUDING SONGS FROM OMWF ON THIS.
Also, The Mountain Goats. It’s like you’ve stolen my iTunes, which basically only plays the Buffy soundtrack and The Mountain Goats.
Log in to replyAlso, I must say, I’m really impressed with the amount of Buffy-love on here. As a huge nerd, and a huge Whedon nerd, my heart flutters a bit every time I see something about it. Also, if you’re ever in need of a gushing post about how amazing high school Willow is and her lovely sweaters and smiley-face backpack, I’m your girl.
Log in to replyWhoever picked Laura Marling gets a metaphorical medal from me, I love her.
Fun fact: My physics teacher met her at a party.
Log in to replyhell yes, Pizzicato Five and QOTSA in the same playlist!
Log in to replyi’d add “I Spy” by Pulp and Malente’s “Open Secret” ;)
