The Illustrated Songs Calendar 2020 is finally taking shape, and (hopefully!) will be ready next week.

This time I chose 12 of my favourite songs from the 2010s as inspiration for the illustrations. 'Pink Rabbits' by The National is the one in the image, and you will also find songs by: Jay Som, Mitski, Kurt Vile, Courtney Barnett, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Yuck, Arcade Fire, Sharon Van Etten, Bon Iver, Majical Cloudz, and Lala Lala & WHY? (I made a playlist with all of them: spotify.com/playlist...).

Illustrated Song: "Avant Gardener" by Courtney Barnett. (Lyrics below).

"I sleep in late Another day Oh what a wonder Oh what a waste. It's a Monday It's so mundane What exciting things Will happen today? / The yard is full of hard rubbish it's a mess and I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab We should ammend that I pull the sheets back It's 40 degrees And i feel like I'm dying. / Life's getting hard in here So I do some gardening Anything to take my mind away from where it's supposed to be. The nice lady next door talks of green beds And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps. Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes. / I feel pro-active I pull out weeds All of a sudden I'm having trouble breathing in. / My hands are shaky My knees are weak I can't seem to stand On my own two feet I'm breathing but I'm wheezing Feel like I'm emphysem-in' My throat feels like a funnel Filled with weetabix and kerosene and / Oh no, next thing I know They call up triple O I'd rather die than owe the hospital Till I get old I get adrenalin Straight to the heart I feel like Uma Thurman Post-overdosing kick start / Reminds me of the time When I was really sick and I Had too much psuedoefedryn and I Couldn't sleep at night Halfway down high street, Andy looks ambivalent He's probably wondering what I'm doing getting in an ambulance / The paramedic thinks I'm clever cos I play guitar I think she's clever cos she stops people dying Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic Should've stayed in bed today I much prefer the mundane. / I take a hit from An asthma puffer I do it wrong I was never good at smoking bongs. I'm not that good at breathing in."

Inspired by the song "3ww" by alt-J (lyrics below)

"There was a wayward lad Stepped out one morning The ground to be his bed The sky his awning

Neon, neon, neon A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field Can't surround so you lean on, lean on So much your heart's become fond of this

Oh, these three worn words Oh, let me whisper like the rubbing hands Of tourists in Verona I just want to love you in my own language

Well, that smell of sex Good like burning wood The wayward lad laid claim To two thirsty girls from Hornsea Who left a note when morning came

Girls from the pool say "Hi" (hi) The road erodes at five feet per year Along England's east coastline Was this your first time? Love is just a button we pressed Last night by the campfire

Oh, these three worn words Oh, that we whisper like the rubbing hands Of tourists in Verona I just want to love you in my own language"
