Playlist for hysteria
Manic feminine
Was I wrong, though...

Smoke City – Devil Mood
How often are you in a devil of a mood? This terrific psychedelic trip-hop sets the theme I’m going for in this playlist: sexy, wicked, fucking crazy.
Deftones – Feiticeira
My favourite song about kidnapping men and holding them hostage (in a sexy, non-offensive way). “Untie me, untie me for now – you said you would, right? And now you will, right?” Of course, we’ll let him go... eventually.

Chelsea Wolfe – Spun
Among the female archetypes, The Witch might be the only woman whose personality is not entirely based on body qualities. Witch is not a Virgin, not a Mother, not a Seductress. She serves no one but herself, she’s sovereign, she’s mad! She owes nothing, and that makes her dangerous. Here I suggest you to dive into some proper manic witchy self-care, such as wild ritual dancing in the moonlight, putting hexes on unfaithful lovers, and plotting mischief.
Portishead – Scorn
Legendary Portishead’s Glory Box in a darker, eerie sound. This song makes me want to be a woman; which is to be completely, utterly insane.
Nine Inch Nails – She’s gone away
She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone away.. We first heard this song in the 3rd Twin Peaks season, when Cooper’s favourite bubblegum came back in style. One cannot argue with it having a very Laura Palmer vibe to it... When I think about her, I think about the feeling that all women share – an unstoppable chaos, a spiralling storm inside, both tragic and terrifying.
Collide – White Rabbit
One day I’ll tell you a story about how I went chasing rabbits, fell down the furnace and ended up in Belval, where “logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead”. This place can sometimes be so ugly, this place can sometimes be so strange, yet when the fog falls and the mighty towers disappear in its gloom, Belval becomes almost beautiful – a surreal scenery to correlate with inner despair, my very own distorted Wonderland. This cover is my manic girlie take on Belval, and I hope you enjoy seeing it as I do.
