Rooting for You by Alessia Cara
Battle of Marnadal by Sonya Belousova & Giona Ostinelli
Drown by Marika Hackman
Root Down by The Beastie Boys
Cinnamon (Acoustic) by Ritual
Circulate by Poppy
Ask by The Smiths
Musikkassett by Kompressor
120 Mph by Kompressor
State of the Union by Rise Against

Artists I’ve seen live

Actually none of these!

Favourite track on the list

Going to say State of the Union - banger!

Least favourite track on the list

Tentatively saying Ask because Morrissey^↗.

Some absolute blasts from the past here: Beastie Boys takes me back to my local rock club in the 90s, Kompressor to an industrial night I frequented back when I wore New Rocks every day.

I'm a big fan of Poppy's new left-field take on metal. It feels very fresh and current and catch as all fuck.

I got into a bad habit at an old job of listening to Rise Against whenever I was in a crappy mood. Which turned into listening to Rise Against all day every day until I realised I needed to find a new job. So, er thanks, I guess!

You can find the playlist here on YouTube Music^↗.

Get involved yourself!

Fire up your digital music player
Go to “all songs“ and shuffle play everything
Note the first 10 songs to show up, without skipping anything
Create your playlist
Post it somewhere

Comments

In almost all cases, the comments section is a vile cesspool of Reply Guys, racists, and bots.

I don't want to have to deal with that kind of hell so I don't have a comments section.

If you want to continue the conversation, you can always hit me up on CalcKey^↗ (which is not a vile cesspool of Reply Guys, racists, and bots).
