Dave is sitting his ISCW today. So everyone send him luck and good vibes.

Okay, so the music today. I fancied something a bit different. We kick off this playlist with some music from the other side of the world. Japan, to be exact. Anyone who knows me knows that I can be a huge Japanophile sometimes and one thing that I was a bit upset about was the lack of Japanese music on Spotify. This seems to be changing, slowly but surely.

As for the rest of the list, I have to admit that most of these tracks are new to me.

So, ah, David is currently studying to become some kind of Cisco networking guru. Last I heard he was climbing a mountain in Tibet to learn the art of Zen routing. Good luck to him, I say. You unlucky people have to put up with Thom flavoured Spotisfaction until his return.

Again, todays playlist is just a bunch a tracks that I want to listen to. Nothing else behind it.

“Just Like Honey” by The Jesus And Mary Chain kicks this off. I watched Lost In Translation for the first time and really loved the soundtrack. One of the last tracks in the film was this, so I had an urge to listen to it. The rest of the tracks on here are, pretty much, last.fm recommendations with a smattering of tracks that I love but haven”™t heard in a while. Hopefully you”™ll find something you like. So, er, give it a listen.

So no David today, then. Yes, it has been a long weekend. Hope everyone had a good one. Mine was pretty fantastic, there was music, there were parties, there were surprise announcements. Needless to say, I”™m the happiest, luckiest person alive today. So with that in mind, I created the below playlist. It”™s not fantastically upbeat or happy, there is no structure, no elitism or any of that rubbish. It”™s just a few tracks that I haven”™t heard in a while lumped together in Spotisfaction form.

Listen to it here, if you will.

26. Eels – Flyswatter
27. The Dandy Warhols – Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth

There really isn”™t much of an order to this list. As stated, I just wanted to listen to these tracks. Special mention to Chemical Brothers “Leave Home”, as this track reminds me plenty of my youth. I totally wore out my copy of “Exit Planet Dust” which I had on the magic medium of cassette tape. Explosions In The Sky are one of my favourite bands and “First Breath After A Coma” is probably the track that got me into the band. Finally, Blur”™s classic “Coffee & TV”, which Tom Mitchell taught me to play whilst I was rather drunk at a party on Saturday. Good work, sir.

Anyway, get back to it and I will catch you on the other side.
