Manager No. 1 Playlist
The fearless and peerless leader of the Cafe and Diner not once but twice. My playlist for her hopefully captures a bit of the quiet sorrow being the 8 truly entails. Her genres mostly gravitate around the realms of rock and pop, though a science fiction double feature lights up her nostalgic summer nights as well. Her songs deal with her struggle with her own identity and sense of self, putting her rebellion against conventional norms on full display.

Playlist
1. Mystery Girl - Alexandra Savior
Does it feel as if somebody's keeping an eye on you?
Peripheral visions
Playing tricks on me
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
When the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
Drive on engines 'til they weep
With future pixels in factories far away
3. Breaking Out - Gary Shall, David John, Claire Toeman, Gary Martin, Sinitta Renet
I've been a lifetime on deposit
And that's a long time in the closet
And if you say to me
How was it?
It was hard taking
That heartbreaking
God forsaken route
4. Fell in Love with a Girl - The White Stripes
Fell in love with a girl
I fell in love once and almost completely
She's in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
The crowd you like is dangerous
I heard they're just no good
I'd rather have you staying at home now
Like a good boy should
6. U&ME - alt-J
Two hot palms pressing down on my face
Dragged by my sockets to a better place
Flashing in the dark my luminescent tongue
Summer holiday, having fun
7. Party Poison - My Chemical Romance
If we were all like you in the end
Oh, we'd be killin' ourselves by sleepin' in
So, hit the lights, I'll do it again
And keep your cars, and your dogs
And your famous friends well, alright
8. Black Mambo - Glass Animals
Slow down, it's a science
He's been waiting to bring you down
Snake-eyed, with a sly smile
He can hold you and shake you, child
9. West Coast - The Neighbourhood
If the sun was God, I'd be covered in faith
If the ocean was the devil, I'd be covered in hate
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
10. bury a friend - Billie Eilish
For the debt I owe, gotta sell my soul
'Cause I can't say no, no, I can't say no
Then my limbs all froze and my eyes won't close
And I can't say no, I can't say no
