A Playlist For May
Introduction I thought I would do a playlist as an example for my May 2026 Challenge, which you can see here, although this then creates an infinite loop, as this story appears in the Challenge:

It's gonna be gay. Top Story - April 2026.
Going back to my roots with a playlist-- and this time, the theme is "It's gonna be May but make it punny." Which is a twist on a twist really, since the Backstreet Boys certainly never intended for their love song to herald the coming of May.

The Album That Came From Silence There are albums that entertain you… and then there are albums that feel like they were written in the aftermath of something breaking.

An Anatomical Playlist
The Intro I was listening to some songs, and "Magic Man" by Heart came on. I thought that could be an interesting theme for a playlist, featuring parts of the body in either the song title or the band name. I will probably miss a lot, but I am just going to dive in and see where this takes me.

Pigs
Introduction I am not sure what inspired this, but there are more than a few good songs about pigs. As a teenager, I worked on a farm and thought it was quite funny when the piglets tried to eat my toes through my wellies and we all love the film Babe, don't we?

A Plagiaristic Playlist
Introduction There are many songs that borrow from others, some acknowledge their source, and some don’t. Some are deliberate and some are accidental. These are some that I have noticed over my life and you may agree with me or disagree with me, some are obvious and some are a little harder to discern but hopefully, you will enjoy all of them. All of the songs are excellent it;s up to you whether or not you agree with me, but hopefully, this will spur some commentary.

Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead - Some Warren Zevon
Introduction I first was vaguely exposed to Warren Zevon when someone mentioned the song "Excitable Boy" but I really didn't bother with him til I was working for Yorkshire Water in Bradford and I picked up a "Best Of " album and the song "Play It All Night Long" hit me like a flying house brick:
