This compilation here kept me going throughout half of 2020.
Certain strains of music affect me so strangely – I can never hear them without their changing my whole attitude of mind for a time, and if the effect would last I might be capable of heroisms.

updated August 2017 to include new tracks: will most likely be updated on at least a yearly basis!
Imagine if Blank Space had been recorded back in the 40′s…what might that have sounded like? I put an amp filter on PMJ’s version of it, and I gotta say, the 40′s sounds good with some taylorswift :)
Holy crap
THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE THING. I WANT IT ON TOUR, I WANT IT ON CD, I WANT IT ON VINYL, I WANT IT PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND AS MY FUCKING THEME MUSIC.
Some songs wot I own.
Tears for Fears- Call Me Mellow I love Tears For Fears. Here’s a random song that I quite like.
Dogs Die In Hot Cars- I Love You Cause I Have To No-one seems to have heard of this song, but I love it. It’s showed up on at least one icon.
The Zutons- Valerie and Why Won’t You Give Me Your Love -just bought this album, thought I’d share
Vindicated off the Spider-Man soundtrack. Loud and singalongable. ‘VIIIINNNDDICATED! I AM SELLLLFISH I AM WROOOONG!’
The Beautiful South- Don’t Marry Her I love the Beautiful South. (When they used to play this on the radio, it said ‘have me’ instead of ‘fuck me’. Heh.)
The Divine Comedy- Absent Friends I love these guys too, and I love this song. For some reason, it reminds me of the Harry Potter Marauders era…I once wrote a songfic-drabble about Remus which was based on this song.
And now some begging: I’m making some fanmixes and looking for songs- anyone got Morrissey’s ‘Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together’, Pulp’s ‘Happy Endings’, Aerosmith’s ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’ and REM’s ‘It’s The End Of The World As We Know It’? (Thing is, I actually have the REM one, but iTunes won’t let me turn it into a MP3. Bah.) Any help is much, much appreciated.
So anyway…share and enjoy. ;)
