In (dis)honour of the gorram cold snap we're having in #yeg, my morning playlist will consist of all the songs I have in my iTunes/Bandcamp with "cold" in the title. First up is Coldsweat by #TheSugarcubes, which has nothing to do with being cold and is more about, err, hot meat. Iceland knows all about cold weather though, so works for me.

The Sugarcubes - Cold Sweat

Next up on Gorram It's Cold is Cold by #TheCure. Robert Smith understands the assignment.

Next up on It's So Cold Out I'm Thinking of Letting My Doggo Pee On The Floor is the studio outtake Cold Bitch by #Soundgarden.

Next up on It's So Cold It's Even 20 Degrees Colder Than Nunavut is Cold by the utterly amazing, metal af Inuk throat and improvisational singer #TanyaTagaq. Some may recognize her from her work on #Björk's Medúlla album (an all-time fave!), and #bookstodon folks should check out her book Split Tooth. Seeing her live is the most intense experience I've ever had.

Cold, by Tanya Tagaq

Next on It's So Cold Even The Air Looks Pissed Off is Cold Little Heart by #MichaelKiwanuka. I connect the album this is from with Iceland as we listened to it while driving around there, so extra cold points for a track that otherwise has a lovely warm vibe.

Next up is Cold and All Alone from #MxPx. It's been like 80 years since I listened to these guys, and I only associate them with summer, so my brain has momentarily thawed for 2 minutes and 8 seconds.

Next up on It's So Cold I'm Really Regretting Ordering Bagels to Be Delivered Today Because Now I'll Have To Open The Door is Cold Beer and Cigarettes from #DavidBazan. I once told him he's part of the mythology of my and @MetalheadDana's relationship, partly because his was the first album Dana lent me when we met, and we went to his show the night we got legally married. Okay, momentary thaw again.

Next up on It's Cold But Now I Feel Colder Because This Album Makes Me Sad About It's Existence is Cold Hands by #AFI. I looooved this band, like wrote an English 101 paper on Black Sails in the Sunset and seeing them live, I wanted an Art of Drowning inspired full sleeve for years, and they're the only band I've paid to join the fan club for. I do like Decemberunderground, but really they died for me with Sing the Sorrow. Not sure why I still check out each new album.

Next up on I Wish I Could Be Brought In Warm But It Seems The Only Option Is Cold is Warm or Cold from #LudwigGöransson's fantastic soundtrack for #TheMandalorian.

Next up on Why Is My Nose Frozen When I Haven't Been Outside For Days is ...And The Great Cold Death of The Earth by #Agalloch. The Mantle is one of the best metal albums ever, it was nice of John Haughm to wait until after the band broke up to be an asshole.

Next up on Ugh, I Don't Want Want To Listen To This One But I'm Committed To The Cold Thing Now is In This Cold Place by #Moby & The Void Pacific Choir. The video isn't so bad actually, this is my first time seeing it.

Next up on I'm Really Running Out Of Steam Here, Mostly Because My Coffee Is Now Ice Cold is A coldness not known to us 'til just now, from prolific af #AaronEdge's #ManOfMultnomah project. Aaron is perhaps most known from his #Lumbar project with #MikeScheidt of #YOB and #TadDoyle.

Next on I Just Checked And It's Still -46 is Keep Fear, Forever Cold by #Ghold. Really love this whole album, from 2019, sounds to me like a #SludgeMetal mashup of #EinstürzendeNeubauten and #SigurRós.

The last of my iTunes "cold" songs is The Cold March towards Eternal Brightness by #SpectralLore. They're antifascist, so it warms the cockles of my heart.

Onto the Bandcamp portion of It's So Cold My Brain Is Now Shutting Down, with A Cold Wind from #JayeJayle. Seeing as Evan and Emma broke up not long after this, this song/album just makes me sad.

Okay, last one on Stay Cold, Ponyboy is Stay Cold from Miserable. This is the #shoegaze project from #KrisEsfandiari / #KingWoman, and I think this will now be on repeat for the rest of the day.

stay cold
keep your feelings hidden
told me
that's how your
mother taught you to be
well
let me tell you something kid
your mom
she's wrong
and that's no way to live

@buffyleigh Agree completely, thanks for the reminder on the band and the record

@buffyleigh
The Mantle is a beautiful album

Buffy Leigh Dec 21, 2022

@DXMacGuffin Absolutely, one of my all time favorite albums, metal or non-metal. Just perfect.

@buffyleigh These Cold toots are awesome. I'd posit Cold World's version of "Fifty-Fifty Clown" but I can't find a free link to it. Here's Spotify:
