I make a bunch of mix tapes (spotify playlists) to say exactly how I feel inside, and maybe you might feel it too. Or enjoy it, because I love music and sharing songs, even grouping them into thematic soundtracks and stuff.

PRE-CONTEXT:

• I just wanted to put together a couple of track-listings of playlists.. to dedicate to the awesome people I have come to know, and be part of this here environment.
• I will be using Australian musical acts – that if you live overseas, then you can take away from knowledge of some awesome music acts and shit.
• I made 5 graphics for this series. I don’t know if I will actually do 100 songs, but i’m not 100% sure if I have 100 songs for 100 people.

I’m  such a MMMess… (iah)

I started this project a couple of days before christmas 2018. It is not finished because I am lazy and often lose track of all the whatever stuff I said I wanted to do…

When you scroll through the psychotically laid out page, you’ll see I have broken the playlist into volumes.

• Each volume has 24 songs, cites the artist, song title and a lyric.
• Click the artist to be directed to a youtube clip.
• Click the song title to read the full lyrics.

Kapiche? Sick.

• When selecting some of the tracks, I did have some people in mind at the time. However, music and their lyrics are universal expressions of the emotions of the soul. Therefore it would be too divisive to explicitly state any song is really for any single individual.
• These are just songs that I like (some more so than others).  VOLUMES 1-3 are all Australian music acts. (Except for the Christmas playlist, that’s just christmas themed songs).

1. Vol 1. The long walk home, singing siren songs (24 tracks).
2. Vol 2. Burning bush swallows their nightingale (24 tracks).
3. Vol 3. Great grandfather of smoke, hear my song (24 tracks).
4. Vol 4. Everlong John foo fights the xmas tree.

Listen to the whole playlist on Spotify here. I titled it “wyrdpriss”

Fun fact. By clicking the ‘xmas tree’ link above, you will be taken directly to the Spotify playlist titled ‘x mas sheen’
