Flannery O'Connor Complete Short Stories Playlist
Today's the day that I begin making playlists for all the works in the IB Language and Literature curriculum, starting with everybody's least favorite racist author - Flannery O'Connor.
Give me any songs that you feel fit with Flannery O'Connor's short stories, regardless of how weird and outlandish or bland and tasteless it is. If you feel that your song works with a specific part of the text, tell me which part to pair it with in the playlist. There's no limit to how many submissions I'll accept!

Please reblog for a bigger sample size!
If you have any fun fact about Puerto Rico, please tell us and I'll reblog it!
Be respectful in your comments. You can criticize a government without offending its people.

Fun fact about my bio class: We seem to talk a lot about freshwater protists.

Battle Against Belch and Happy-Happy is Blue are the songs that got me into the franchise. They're amazing and unusual pieces of background music that I've never been able to find anything quite like them anywhere else.
people love earthbound ost... i need to know you guy's favorite tracks (holds out microphone)

A pastiche of Pokemon battle music using some quotations from Shostakovich's 5th symphony. Basically, a Shotakovich battle theme. If I do another I'm gonna do Mozart with stuff from Symphony 40, I'll probably look into trying to do more with one motif instead of using at least four like I did with this one.

Look, all I'm saying is you either think puns are a sign of intelligence or you think they're the lowest form of comedy. There's no in between and I know where I stand.

here’s Liszt violently telling you to love and appreciate Chopin.
What do you mean this isn’t how it happened?

Shostakovich: Profile picture only, only turns on mic to say "yes" or otherwise uses chat. Uses private chat to dissent but only says it to one person.
Satie: You can see Debussy sitting facing away from him from Satie's camera but Debussy hasn't figured out that he's there yet.
John Williams: Follows everything Holst says up with "I agree with Holst"
Classical Composers having a Zoom chat:
Bach: testing the camera and mic
Beethoven: with a big ass headset
Mozart: doing some fart sounds using his underarm
Schubert: with his camera off
Chopin: only his dog in front of the camera
Liszt: greeting everyone up
Schumann: persuading Schubert to turn on his camera
Mendelssohn: unknowingly with his face being zoomed in the camera

Bruckner has been sitting at a table and telling a story for three hours now. William Schuman and Khachaturian have fallen asleep listening to him.
Morton Feldmann drew a picture of John Cage on a napkin and now Cage is gripping it happily as he shows it to everybody he comes across.
Kapustin is listening to Schoenberg in the corner and then going over to Shostakovitch and Prokofiev to tell them all about it.
Composers At a Party
Handel: having the time of his life until his giant wig catches fire
Bach: attends, but busy working the whole time. Smiles grimly at how people use the word ‘fugue’ in puns.
Beethoven: doesn’t show up. He has better things to do.
Mozart: chattering merrily and drunkenly away, telling filthy jokes. He is the reason that the décor involves giant papier mâchée phalluses.
Haydn: generally quite enjoying himself, but having to do that teacher thing of trying not to feel awkward when seeing one’s students in public.
Schubert: the first one to get really smashed and pass out under a table. He has ‘Mushroom’ written in lipstick on his forehead.
Chopin: if he shows up at all, he just stands by himself and coughs
Liszt: will have had sex with everyone by the end of the night
Brahms: crying into his beer (and beard) about Clara
Schumann: blowing raspberries at Brahms while Clara isn’t watching
Rossini: drinking wine and throwing shade at Richard ‘Dick’ Wagner
Wagner: completely oblivious to Rossini, making the sort of offensive remarks that cause others to nod and smile nervously
Shostakovich: sometimes has a salty attitude, but everyone loves him
J. Strauss: gets everyone in the room to waltz with him until Mozart has them all drunkenly square dancing and he gives up
Stravinsky: it’s 2am, and he has everyone doing strange, occult, and utterly soused activities that nobody will remember in the morning
Britten: stays for a little while, but gets uncomfortable with Mozart’s décor and leaves
