Riley was really handsome. It's insane he gets ignored and/or put down in the Angel vs. Spike debate. Obviously, Riley is the best option. #BuffyRewatch

Day 2 / Track 2: Get Together from Confessions on a Dance Floor by Madonna
Always a good choice and not just because of the announcement of Confessions Part II.

That’s true. This is like a tropical holiday compared to just a month ago. I have a friend who was supposed to run but sprained her ankle. NGL, I’d be low-key relieved!
Brrrr it's cold out. Glad I don't have to run today. If you're running, god love ya! #BostonMarathon #PatriotsDay
Whoops. It says Track 2 but it’s really 1.

Day 1 / Track 2: Someone To Die For from Star by Belly
Like a musical soundtrack overture, it sets a tone. From guitar treatment (whilst EVERYONE was grunge-crazed, Tanya said 'Fuck that!') to Grimm fairy tale lyrics.

We’ll pretend to be surprised next month haha

Day 20: A song with a fade-out ending
Aimee Mann - Driving Sideways

Kristine Sutherland is pure magic as Joyce. Only she could deliver a line like "It certainly didn't help that my last boyfriend turned out to be a homicidal robot." without it seeming totally preposterous #BuffyRewatch
Xander had to do zero work to get Anya. Male wish-fulfillment? #BuffyRewatch

What are we doing? #DragRace
The remaster Copacetic, I think from 2024, is a revelation. It was more the power pop album they envisioned rather than wall of sound (not that there’s anything wrong with that 🤪).
Curious what might have happened to Faith had the Mayor actually ascended. The way he talked, seemed like she'd have survived and he had a plan for her. #BuffyRewatch

Day 18: A song that feels relaxed
Velocity Girl - Here Comes

I worked in Copley Sq (old Glad Day Books) the year of the 100th Boston Marathon running. Pre-9/11&Bombing, it was the biggest security presence I had ever seen in Boston. Couldn’t cross Boylston. Had to get off Green Line at Arlington & double back. Anyway, it’s the 130th on Monday. Eff I’m old!
Ohhh Sutton, let her have it #RHOBH

Day 17: A song that sounds 'bouncy'
Tracy Bonham - Navy Bean

I had S&L for my Day 9. I was trying hard not to have my list be all Gala & Spooky.
In Choices, there's a moment the Mayor having admonishd Faith to follow him out after the trade for Willow, where she looks back. Is she looking at the spider creature in an "Oh eff, what have I signed up for?" or was she longing for her knife? Both? #BuffyRewatch
I know, suspension of disbelief, blah blah blah. Yet, it always struck me as odd Jonathan's in the clock tower with a rifle in Earshot and 2 eps later is giving out awards at the Prom, all la la la. #BuffyRewatch
Went with De-Luxe for final song. There's a 4AD sound, which really has many prongs: Muses/Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Wolfgang Press, Bauhaus, etc. IMHO, Lush is the nexus band - a little bit all of the above.

Day 15: #Lush | De-Luxe originally from Mad Love EP (1990), later included on Gala Compilation (1990)
Thank you @olgalovesyuri.bsky.social & @geodrew.bsky.social for this fun challenge. Any Lush playlist is a good playlist!
