An OOC note for today's program: Please assume appropriate bleeps during the songs so the station's not fined. Not looking to get excessive on the profanity, but it may happen a time or two. Your gracious imagination with regards to necessary censorship is appreciated.
There's no one to announce the song which starts playing when New Music Friday should begin. There's no pretty and proper posh brit to ring in the show. There's just some lovely chimes, a snort of laughter and some new music. GRiZ feat. ProbCause and Jaye Prime - Smoke That
"Her Rigid Majesty has abandoned you this week, but don't worry, puppies. Miss Villainy's gotcha. Here to kiss it all better and see you through to the weekend. That little bit of lush loveliness you just heard is the newest from my favorite mustachioed gay icon. No, not him. It's GRiZ! If you don't know who GRiZ is, you're missing out. Saxophone-playing pioneer of future-funk. That was Smoke That, featuring ProbCause and Jaye Prime."
"We're gonna keep it chill for now, check in and see what one of the gods of triphop's been up to. Tricky's one of my happy places, and I cannot wait for the album. Three weeks, kittens. Here's one to whet your appetite, all full of that low, rumbling hunger he's so good at delivering. This is Tricky with Mina Rose. Running Wild." Tricky feat. Mina Rose - Running Wild
"Let's pick a theme for the day, yeah? Something to tenuously tie all this nonsense together to make Princess Pretension proud? How's about... Mm, reckless pursuit of Oblivion. Drugs and darkness and overindulgence. Excess and depravity. Too little and too much. That's where we are today. So, let's get right to it and indulge in me. Poppy speaks to me in ways no one else does. Nng. Just listen. Here's Poppy and Charlotte, now that all the choking's over, with My Style." Poppy feat. Charlotte - My Style
"Alright, so. Since we're indulging me, I'mma pick a little fight with this cheesy boyband Why Don't We coming in waaaaay late to the party with These Girls, telling us how they want 'em all. Dudes. CHILDREN. Come on. You have already been parodied! The commentary's been laid down. I can't even. I just will not. So, you're getting a repeat from, like, two whole months ago because Charli XCX is way more relevant and totally on point. Cheating, I know, but whatever. Here's Boys." Charli XCX - Boys
Miss Villainy talks right over the music, adding, "Oh, and if you wanna know what gets me gooey--and I know you do? Mac Demarco tonguing his guitar in the video. So into it. Did you know Poppy covered his song My Kind of Woman? Perfection."
"Speaking of boys, I'mma send this next song out to one in particular. My bestie with the bubbly. Total epitome of caring too much and too little all at once. And. Her Royal Emoness would also like to dedicate this to a certain someone who's suffering. I can't help but imagine it's her. Love song to her own withered heart. Aww. So sweet and sad! So. For Miss Green from Miss Green, we've got Galantis and ROZES with Girls on Boys." Galantis & ROZES - Girls on Boys
"Bringing the mad segues, I'mma gonna keep on with heartbreak and heavy drinking. Jason Derulo's If I'm Lucky best get your hips swishing, kittens. You know I'll be dancing in the booth. All by my gorgeous self." Jason Derulo - If I'm Lucky
"Oh, hey, looks like there's actually someone out there listening! Not so good with the letters, but on point with the music. Second verse shout out to no one in particular from a string of emojis with no name. We've got Yung Lean with Red Bottom Sky. Digging on the sadboys today." Yung Lean - Red Bottom Sky
"You like that? Say thank you to your fellow weirdos. Now. You want more? Of course you do. Nothing's ever enough. And that's alright. I'm not gonna leave you hungry. Let's get back to pressing our luck and go play with Kaskade." Kaskade - Play with Me
"I'm starting to rethink today's theming. Noooo, not because of you, anonymous instigator. Just a bit of self-awareness, yeah? What I want is indulgence, but what these songs are selling me is hope. Everyone trying to get lucky in love. Did you hear that eyeroll, Vermont? Let me put a warning label on this one, lest anyone think this at all represents me: I'm not softening up for you, sugar. No one's that lucky. Still. This one's pretty hot. Matthew Dear with Tegan and Sara singing about the Bad Ones like me." Matthew Dear feat. Tegan & Sara - Bad Ones
"Not bad, yeah? We're in the home stretch now. Do I need to keep making stuff up to keep you all hooked? Look, this next song's just sexy as--ya know. You know how sexy it is. Saint Mesa. Bringing the Lion out. Mm!" Saint Mesa - Lion
"Right? Right. So yummy. If that doesn't make you hungry, I'm not sure there's anything I can do for you. Cept maybe give you one more. Feed your uncultured head some proper slink. Hands down my favorite this week. Nothing But Thieves with Broken Machine." Nothing But Thieves - Broken Machine
"There are a few that didn't make today's cut that you should still go check out. Snails' Into the Light if you dig some dirty dubstep. The National's Day I Die if you're a hipster. Though, really, kinda into it. Wolf Parade's You're Dreaming. ZHU's remix of Feel It Still. The new Yelawolf which was way too profane to get played on this station. I should probably give you another new one before I go, but I'm still pushing for my oblivion, for that escape into nothing. So we're gonna break the rules big time and dig back through the years in shameless abuse of power. We'll get back to boring next week. Until then, this has been Miss Villainy. Bye." Dragonette - Pick Up the Phone
