Happy Monday! Last night, I watched the new Netflix teen rom com, Do Revenge. I went in with pretty low expectations, this was just some easy viewing on a Sunday night. But I ended up sort of loving it?! It pays homage to teen rom coms of the late 90s/early aughts, including a paint balloon fight à la my favorite film of this genre, 10 Things I Hate About You, but even more notably with some of its music choices. For instance, it had been YEARS since I heard “Flagpole Sitta” by Harvey Danger, but there is was tucked between ROSALÍA and Olivia Rodrigo.
Spotify did the heavy lifting for me and there is a “Do Revenge Official Playlist” which I will be listening to today while feeling excited for the Gen Z Do Revenge fans who now know The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. [I’m sorry to be so Spotify-centric, but I checked and this is only platform the playlist is on!]
The mix I made you this week is a roundup of new/new to me/back in rotation songs that I’ve been listening to the last few weeks:
Be Careful with Yourself, Julia Jacklin
Cyclone, Maude Latour
Bad Thing, Miya Folick
Call Me Home, SASAMI
Holy (Til You Let Me Go), Rina Sawayama
Serial Heartbreake, FLETCHER
Not My Lover, Michelle Branch
Is It Worth It Now?, Jordana
up at night, Kehlani ft. Justin Bieber
Hands Off, MUNA
