Megamix playlist

I'm not going to bang on with this post, I'm not going to talk about anything in particular, I am however going to show several different videos and leave you with a Spotify playlist and have a line or so under each track to explain it's relevance. Try to enjoy if you have that ability.


Released in 1998 this track from Canadian alternate rockers is truly a thing to marvel at, pop culture references flood the track and make it easily one of my favourite songs.


I once had a 24 hour drinking bender with a couple of friends, before we realized we were going to be drinking for such a long time we were singing this song, after a while it became the unofficial anthem for the night.


What a Waster by The Libertines has been a staple inclusion to almost every playlist I've created in the past 8 years so it obviously has to be included on this list, ya two bob cunt.



With an opening line as subtle as a baseball bat to the face "there's no wrong way to fuck a girl with no legs" it had to be included here, beautifully sensitive song.


Itch, Jamie, Fruitbag and Johnny Rich, oh how good The King Blues were around the 'Save the world get the girl' era. My personal favourite song by the band, touching and upbeat at the same time.



Time for the usual lull in a playlist, the mood is dropped by a little Sac v Pip, a story of self harm and suicide asking the questions no one thinks of while contemplating such a tragic decision.


Tyler had to make an appearance on this playlist somewhere, taken from his most recent album Wolf this is the track I feel is strongest of the whole album, maybe even his career.


Kicking back a couple of years with this one, from goth superstars The Cure 'Just Like Heaven', my personal favourite track from them.


Next is from the UK's best rapper at the moment, Kate Tempest and her band Sound Of Rum, I chose this purely because of the beautiful opening music and obviously the lyrical genius of the track.


That shit cray? No, no it is not and it's featuring here, ain't it Jay?


Oh the memories, they are flooding me with this like I'm stuck on a slowly sinking canoe.


Do you have the time to listen to me whine? You fucking better because it's on here like a mudda fucker.


Almost at the end, don't say I never warned ya.


What better way to wind down than with our lord and saviour, Sage Francis.
