Ask me anything

Fourth installment of my long-running playlist series Whatever Goes: Songs From Albums I Recently Heard. WG for short. Four playlists? Fuck yes, I’ve been doing this for six months now.

Title is from the song Seven Years from the Fatboy Slim/David Byrne collab Here Lies Love. Vocals feature David Byrne as Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. and Shara Worden as Imelda Marcos. And yes, apparently, they had an affair.

If you’re Filipino (or Catholic), you’ll probably be haunted by the chorus (“Santo Niño/Santo Niño/Please pray for him”). And hey! This post is 4 days late for Halloween.

1. David Byrne & Fatboy Slim (feat. Shara Worden) - Seven Years (from Here Lies Love)
2. Passion Pit - Little Secrets (from Manners)
3. The National - Lemonworld (from High Violet)
4. Wilco (feat. Feist) - You and I (from Wilco (The Album))
5. Iggy & The Stooges - I Need Somebody (from Raw Power)
6. Janelle Monae - Come Alive (War of the Roses) (from The ArchAndroid)
7. Reflection Eternal - In the Red (from Revolutions per Minute)
8. Nas & Damian Marley - Nah Mean (from Distant Relatives)
9. The Black Keys - Tighten Up (from Brothers)
10. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Five Easy Pieces (from Some Loud Thunder)

GELLI DIS IS FOR YOU!
