easier than committing to an album, more visual (sometimes), more vibey (if you’re a tarantino nerd)

automatically gives whatever you are doing a narrative arc. like u are full on following the hero's journey while cutting onions. i especially recommend the vertigo soundtrack or any soundtrack by ennio morricone but u can choose w/e depending on your mood.

listening to a movie soundtrack on vinyl is so sick because all of the intentionality of putting a record on, playing it, flipping it, etc. in tandem with the intentional composition of a movie soundtrack for certain scenes and the arc of the film in general makes you feel like you're in a movie for the run of the record. my personal favorites:
- shaft (isaac hayes, 1971)
- superfly (curtis mayfield, 1972)
- the social network (trent reznor + atticus ross, 2010 – they also did the challengers soundtrack!)
bonus: if your life is a movie (fr) i think getting past the "poser" anxiety and just buying your favorite albums on vinyl and listening to them as the soundtrack for your life brings the same vibe. for me:
- time traveler + wagenmuzik (gum.mp3)
- room 25 + telefone (noname)
- ctrl (sza)
- starboy (the weeknd)
- the misseducation of lauryn hill (lauryn hill)
- what's goin' on (marvin gaye)
- channel orange (frank ocean)
...among others
bonus bonus: jazz. miles davis, duke ellington, stevie wonder, sun ra, pick your poison

A movie soundtrack is always going to be better at creating a mood than a regular playlist. They are curated to evoke a certain vibe and typically have a a concise beginning and end so you're not caught in an endless loop of {insert emotion}.

sure yes i can check your story and know what you’ve been up to today but who the fuck cares. i’m live texting you as i descend into drunkenness, sending you screenshots of weird emails, incorrectly correcting typos because we‘re like 🤞🏼 this
traditional social media are boring, all you need is a few close friends on letterboxd, pi.fyi, last.fm, plus i got your #, i’m gonna text u

it basically means “i’m here already, i might as well be at peace with it”
started truly believing in it a few years ago when i first moved to nashville. there are a lot of things i don’t like about my life, down to daily tasks like having to wait for a bus despite being an impatient person, up to not being proud of my own family dynamic, but i'm learning to make peace with it—this is the one life i’m gonna have, and some things i just can’t change, whether that’s for now or for a long while
