How I got through Law School

7/8/2018

 
Issue 3, Semester 2
By Tilly Houghton

You may have noticed that when I am punching darts on the curbside, I have headphones on. Here is a snapshot of what I've been listening to since February 2016. It is:

I) Not exhaustive, these are just the songs / albums / artists that had high rotation that semester;
II) Super fucking gay;
III) Indicative that while I definitely listen to new music, it very much centres around what was big from 2009 – 2014.
Picture
The playlist on repeat throughout the whole of law school:
  • Stromae - 'Alors on Danse'
    • “Qui dit “dette” te dit huissier, oui dit assis dans la merde”
  • Sufjan Stevens (but sparingly, because too much leads to a nervous breakdown)
  • Toto – ‘Africa’
  • Enya ‘Orinocco Flow’
  • Madonna - 'Ray of Light'
  • Cher - 'Believe'
  • Bikini Kill 'Rebel Girl'
  • Gloria Jones - 'Tainted Love'
  • LCD Soundsystem 'Yeah (Crass Version)'
  • Carly Simon – ‘You’re So Vain’
  • iiO – ‘Rapture’
  • Everything by Destiny’s Child


LMR
  • Chopin’s Nocturnes.  This was in the days before the piano, and it's actually so nice when someone starts playing a song in the middle of the afternoon.
  • Missy Elliott – Everything, but mostly 'Get ur freak on' and 'Pass that Dutch'
  • Kelis – Tasty
  • Azealia Banks: 1991, Van Vougue, 212.  I'm so sad she turned out to be such a mean / problematic person because her EP was great.

Year One, Semester One
  • Beyoncé – Lemonade
    • The album dropped a few weeks before my first round of law exams ever.  I was so nervous about PPL that I woke up at 4:00am and listened to the whole album on loop until the moment I walked through the doors of the REB.

  • I'm Kind of Ashamed to admit I also listened to a lot of Crystal Castles.
  • I'm Less Ashamed to admit I also listened to a lot of David Bowie.


Song of the semester: Hot Sugar feat. Antwon, Lakutis, Big Baby Ghandi – ‘Mama, I’m a man’
  • "I'm doing good, my pasta got four cheeses, you cheesy if you think you working harder than me, bitch"


Year One, Semester Two

  • FKA Twigs LP1
  • The Big Chill Soundtrack
  • Noname Telefone
  • Santigold 99c
  • Grimes Art Angels

Year Two, Semester One

  • Childish Gambino: everything, but mostly Because the Internet and 'Heartbeat'
  • Sezzo Snot – this is a DJ so I’m not sure if it counts but her mixes are great and she introduced me to Habits
  • Habits – Ugly Cry
  • Veruca Salt – Eight Arms to Hold You
  • Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds – Abbatoir Blues / Lyre of Orpheus
  • Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds – Push the Sky Away

Year Two, Semester Two

  • Sampha - Process
  • The Cruel Intentions Soundtrack
  • Hole, Live Through This
  • Hole, Celebrity Skin
  • Tori Amos Under the Pink
  • The discography from Queer As Folk
    • Listening to Heather Small ask you what you’ve done to feel proud today really makes you think about it.  Especially when it’s in the middle of the Criminal Law Take Home.
    • Notable songs: ‘Dive in the Pool’ ‘Let’s Hear it for the Boy’ and ‘Spin Spin Sugar’


Year Three, Semester One:


  • Lots of Kendrick Lamar across most of his work  
  • Fiona Apple’s entire discography, most notably 'Not about Love' (lesbian breakups are great, ya'll), ‘The Way Things Are’ and 'Paper Bag'
  • PJ Harvey – ‘Man Size’
  • A genre called Italo Disco.  Clio’s ‘Faces’ exemplifies it best.  
  • Angel Haze – ‘Werkin Girls’


Year Three, Semester Two
  • Still on my Italo Disco phase.  Get tf on that, great for bedroom dancing.
  • I also recently got busted listening to ‘Love Shack’ by the B52’s reaaaaaally loudly but let’s be real, 80s trash music is great, you can’t tell me that ‘Heaven is a Place on Earth’ isn’t a queer anthem in the wake of San Junipero (which you should watch if you haven’t and then argue with me about it at the pub).
I love GaGa

Lady GaGa 'artpop' and 'joanne' albums have gotten me through. Power to mother monster ❤️
