I'm also loving the new Ratboys and appreciate the link to the live performance. Also, I've never listened to the Ordinary World album - will give it a whirl this long weekend.
What I appreciate most here is how the curation feels less like recommendation and more like care. The Ratboys suite gives the weekend an emotional center, while everything around it—MONO’s scale, Duran Duran’s rediscovery, the wild tonal swing in the film picks—expands Valentine’s Day into something wider than romance.
It ends up reading like companionship rather than criticism, which feels exactly right for a Weekender. A lovely way to shape the space of a few free days.
That playlist is hot tho🥵
Hadn’t heard of Ratboys before you wrote about them. I’m digging em 👌
Start with "Black Earth WI," my favorite

Lemme know what you think!
The live Ratboys performance was great, but I bounced off the Duran Duran album partway through the 4th track.
Understandable 😂
New Ratboys rips
Gets better with each listen.
