We got a massive response to the prompts for week 15, not only surpassing 300 songs, but shooting well past it (I’m waiting on two verifications, but we’re got all of the way up to 347)!
TGEFM continues our staff and reader -generated Spotify mixtape for 2024. Most weeks will be themes (all entries must follow the theme, we are the final judge, haha), and readers can make their picks on the pinned thread at the top of the TGEFM Facebook page.
Song picks for Week 15 are inspired by the following:
17 Apr 2024: World Hemophilia Day – songs that prominently feature bleeding
17 Apr 2024: Blah Blah Blah Day – songs that feature gibberish, or Tim Armstrong
18 Apr 2024: National high Five Day – songs that are uplifting
22 Apr 2024: Lesbian Visibility Weekend – shoutouts to artists in the L of our LGBTQ+ community
Free pick: Songs about death. Headitor Jeff had a death in the family and you’re gonna pick a song about it.
Week 16’s themes to make picks from are:
23 Apr 2024: World Book Day – Songs inspired by or about literature
25 Apr 2024: National Telephone Day – Songs that explicitly have the word “telephone” in them
26 Apr 2024: World Intellectual Property Day – Songs that contain parts or samples that are totally stolen, and probably weren’t credited or paid for
29 Apr 2024: International Dance Day – Songs that really get your feet moving
Sample the growing mixtape below, or head straight to Spotify where you can subscribe (preferred) to the list!
