I mean, isn't this what those "This Is [Whoever]" playlists are for? The streaming version of a Greatest Hits. My mid-year list looks something like this (alphabetised, not ranked): - Blóð - Serpent - Citizen - Life in Your Glass World - God Is an Astronaut - Ghost Tapes #10 - Comatose - A...

Ack, sorry folks, I've been busier than I've ever been in my professional life and just utterly beyond exhaustion. I just wanted to drop in and say a sincere thank you to everyone for the kind comments on the list. Really glad to see people getting something out of it, it's gone down much better...

I really appreciate this, thanks so much. :up: I'm especially glad that trio resonated with someone, because those songs meant an especial lot to me last year. Some seriously heavy rotation. I also appreciate this greatly, it's really heartening to read and thank you. I enjoy the theme of...

:up: If you've not already listened to The Luxembourg Signal, I reckon you'd get a lot out of them. Jangly dreamy hazy bliss. All three of their albums are ace. Probably start with the newest, The Long Now, but Blue Field would be just as good a starting place (its opener and title track might...

Awesome, LM, very glad you enjoyed it. I was wondering how this would go down, so nice to get some positive feedback. Funny you say that: literally the only thing I knew going into this list was that "When All That We Hold Decays" had to be the closer. It's such a perfect closer on its album...

:up: Yeah I pretty much have walked away from both, but check in now and then just in case anything like this turns up! I best email you back with my current address. I just wish I weren't so busy, and so dread glancing at my emails, especially outside work hours.

I knew this would elicit comment.

iYup, what a fantastic list. The "two songs" of the title are both great tracks, and the whole list has a solid structure and a clear identity. I was impressed that although this is very centred on post-punk and new wave, you managed to create something with a lot of sonic diversity. It's hard...

Just listened to GAF's list. It's a really enjoyable little list of songs that never overstays its welcome. There are some big favourites of mine here: "Alison" and "Vapour Trail". It has some bands I should've paid attention to more in the past, like Pulp, or who had just slipped a bit off my...

Alrighty, tourist. I gotta start with a confession. Earlier this year, I checked an old email account and I was surprised to find you had emailed me some weeks earlier about your new album. I got on to listening to it, and quite enjoyed it, and can't believe I did not get around to writing back...

I'm very excited to come last for the cover thing. No way am I making a cover when I don't have to and Spotify already generates some tiles from album covers for me. Anyway, I need to get onto listening to these... looks like a good group and I'll start with tourist, shortly.

:up: Yeah the short list had them and Infinite Void for the post-punk bit and were the last cuts to get down to the 80 minute limit, when I was very seriously thinking of entering it instead of my 2020 list. I honestly think 6pm into Merri on the short list is one of the best pairings I've...

Here it is: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/09SGz0rHEa7Ybb6nKconO6?si=d2966109dd3e42e0 I'm bummed the Love of Diagrams track is now greyed out.

I might as well just post it: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4O87xVgvqskWHebRUCdsiW?si=650f81f84a8845a5 It's based on a much longer list, too long even for a full DI, but sequenced very carefully with segments for the different genres/scenes that meant a lot to me while I lived in Melbourne...

Can't believe I just inadvertently praised One, either.
