Since it’s the latest craze, I too decided to put together a Spotify playlist in case any of you fellow Spotify listeners would like to have a listen. It’s mostly old music mixed with some new: Roxy Music, Phoebe Killdear and The Short Straws, Throwing Muses, The Mary Onettes, Cocteau Twins… I might make it an annual Sunday thing. Check it out!

Once again, it’s time to post some songs I meant to have up on the blog ages ago but then got lazy/depressed/forgetful/distracted or simply figured that everyone else had already posted them so what’s the point? until now.

I got a sudden urge to throw together a cheesy 80s mix of songs I used to listen to as a kid on my Walkman, much like the one Kim Wilde is sporting in the picture.
Consider yourself warned though: I was mainly into pop music alá Madonna back then; The Smiths and the like didn’t enter my record [...]

Another Spotify playlist, this time a rather mellow one as I’ve been incredibly lazy this week (same goes for my cat, hence the picture). Amongst the artists included: Brendan Perry, Lykke Li, Roxy Music, Great Lake Swimmers, Fever Ray… Listen.
