There’s always something - or someone, or some seriously stupid outfit - that’s gonna make you feel alive. But see, here’s the thing: when there’s more than one of you being emo, it’s a lot easier to find the smile at the bottom of the barrel. Stay tuned for more on that in JOYRIDE #3.Ī pair as emo as Catrin and Dewydd deserve some equally emo lyrics. Just imagine you’re that fun orbital rings thing in the bottom right corner and that sloth gentleman is cheering you on. And because pretty much every issue of Joyride has a dance break, now’s your chance to get up for a sec and shake that stellar booty. TRACK #4: “I Know There’s Gonna Be Good Times” by Jamie xx, Young Thug, Popcaanīecause if there are strip clubs in space, they definitely play Young Thug and The xx. Discovering their true selves is, in many ways, the true joy of writing this story. Who will the Joyriders become out here in the crazy technicolor depths of space? Certainly not who they thought they WOULD become. I listen to it before I sit down to write any issue of this book - though I certainly replace words like “waves” with “stars” and “babes” with “dope tentacle alien bros.”Įqually apt soundtrack for running away from weird bug space cops and for talking through becoming the real you. This was the first song on the first playlist on the first writing session for Joyride. WELCOME TO SPACE YOU GUYS! To celebrate, let’s hear what is undoubtedly the theme song to JOYRIDE as a project since day one. But for now, just look in those determined eyes and listen to the calm piano. Maybe a more sinister track would’ve been appropriate, but there’s more in Jorn’s heart than hate. No lie, I listened to this track exclusively, on loop, for hours while writing this page. In the calm darkness of that crappy planet we just left, you all get to meet Jorn Abderezai. Or at least the Man In The High Castle version, because we’re getting super fascist right out the gate. TRACK #1: “Edelweiss” by Rogers and Hammerstein Below, a few liner notes to inform the connections, inspirations, and general music snobbery behind the scenes on JOYRIDE. It’s that time again: JOYRIDE #2 is out in the world and along with it, your required listening. Track #18: “High By The Beach” by Lana Del Rey Track #15: “Forbidden Knowledge” by Raury, Big K.R.I.T.

Track #2: “I’ve Been Waiting For Her” by Mac Demarco Oh hey also watch this space cuz I’m dropping two playlists today like Imma rebel. And more than anything, it’s about FEEEEEEEELINGS. It’s about taking a first step into the unknown of the ongoing series. You just need the music.Īnyway, this issue is all about slowing it down and taking in character. You don’t need my reasons for selection or my weird rambles. To make sure of that, I’m gonna stop writing liner notes. My promise to you: you’ll never wait again. This one’s for all the JOYRIDE readers who waited an entire goddamn month for me to put this out.
