I Am The Crime
A Fine Mess

Cassette Tape Days
Feb 21st
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 collection well into my teens. (Okay that’s not completely true but since I wanted a strictly cheesy mix I had to exclude some of more “credible” bands and artists I may have listened to back then)
Once again this is a Spotify mix so if you don’t have access to the program you can’t listen. It sucks, I know, but apparently there are some workarounds on how to get an account despite living in a country where Spotify supposedly isn’t available yet. I’ll let you seek out those on your own though.
Those of you who have access can find the playlist here. Some of the artists included besides the already mentioned: Billy Idol, Sandra, Ofra Haza, Pet Shop Boys, Samantha Fox and Eurythmics.
Enjoy my cheesy stroll down memory lane!
Leave Me Alone, I’m Lonely
Feb 8th
Like Christian Bale, I’ve had a pretty miserable week.
Not that anything in particular happened, I’ve just felt incredibly gloomy and angry at the world.
I’ve avoided answering the telephone and then sulked because I’m lonely; wished my cat would go away and then hugged her like there’s no tomorrow; stayed in bed most of the day knowing very well that will only make me feel worse - logic is clearly not my strong suit.
So my emotional roller coaster is this week’s theme for my Spotify playlist. Hopefully you can all listen to it despite the recent changes Spotify were forced to make. Some of the artists featured: Graham Coxon, The Concretes, Lily Allen, Frida Hyvönen and Ryan Adams.
Who Can Say Where We’re Going

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.

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!
