a comprehensive list of (almost) all of my spotify playlists, sorted by theme
category 1: a bit of everything.
every feeling everywhere all at once opened by brian eno, closed by mitski, in between an eclectic mix of everything to scream cry and dance to
essentials. as the title suggests this is the music that makes up the foundation of my identity. funkadelic, air, spiritualized, y la bamba, weyes blood etc etc
multitudes: similar idea but older. more hip hop in there, a little time capsule of 2017
seasonal playlists: these are closed chapters that won’t be altered
forbidden fruit february. self explanatory. aquarius season is for yearning and getting messy, thanks fiona apple
idlings of march is when spring begins again, just barely but there’s a careful joy spreading. joyful tunes! this must be the place!
spring has sprung and continues springing. instrumental interludes as standalone songs, everything sounds like water. the time that we wasted just hit like a wave
begin again, another spring playlist. this time with childish gambino, laura marling, hayley williams, guns’n’roses, the classic combo
april flowers. short and sweet, alice phoebe lou meets car seat headrest
slowly come the saints of summer. do you remember when st vincent said daddy’s home well i made a whole playlist about it. mika is in there. genuinely no idea what was going on that summer.
never ending summer, this IS the season of the witch. we love a strange mix of oldies and french and german new wave
i can’t believe summer is over and oh it’s so sentimental, it’s a cherry-coloured funk
winter walking. it’s giving phoebe bridgers in the graveyard, mountain goats, springsteen, mother mother
winter fruits: the first big thief singles off their latest album came out and sent me down this particular spiral. frankie cosmos and mitski, niche italian indie pop
playlists i still edit/add to, first: good moods.
still you. skinshape, biig piig, kadhja bonet, julia jacklin
autobahn, a roadtrip playlist, best friends laughing, mostly italian 70s/80s
many moons ago: it’s pop! it’s happy things! silly goofy times
golden hour! an old one. started this in 2018, sylvan esso was big, king krule, her’s, clairo
will you always love like this? dream pop. lesbianism. st south.
everyday’s a holiday: okay kaya and rex orange county, steve lacy vibes
maybe i wasn’t there: kendrick, dijon, rosalía
come on over & do the twist. they’re love songs. aching with nostalgia but happy
coffee in bed is teetering on the edge between a lovely warm soup of emotions and desperate yearning
clear the fog is where the yearning begins in earnest.
moody moods.
free drinks at the local bar, we’ve got mac demarco, the strokes, girlpool. you know the drill
take me for a spin: something of a continuation of free drinks a few years later now including sam cohen, kevin morby. sad-ish music that still works if played in public
ring: odes to being happysad on public transport in berlin, short and sweet
peel you like a fruit. THEE playlist of psychological warfare.
i would be an electrician: if you enjoy julien baker’s happy to be here, the following ten tracks might do similar damage to your psyche
no more bad news from my jorja smith phase, also greentea peng, arlo parks
gloomy. it’s the end of the world, sharon van etten said, and love is a losing game, and there’s stormy weather and love will tear us apart.
calm there’s definitely a flatsound track in there. be warned.
and here’s three completely new ones, works in progress, not yet categorised:
touch. a very specific moment in time. listening to beach house and rhye with all my friends on a big couch, drifting off together, crying a little, holding on tightly
all the in between: the only place that matters is by your side, mama you’ve been on my mind, only the strong survive, don’t think twice it’s alright. songs that transcend time and space
transitional. seeing angels in everything
already this post is way too long. i have so many playlists, my god. i have a whole folder sorted by genre, one by decade, more by concepts and themes. i’m currently sorting through everything and thought i’d share my process, maybe you’ll find something for yourself new in my chaos :)
