Things I Listened To — My October/November Spotify Playlist

Okay boring bit first. A couple of months ago I realised I wasn’t listening to much new music so I came up with a genius idea — make a playlist for any new song I come across and enjoy. 

I’m tracking them bi-monthly, which means I’ve created the grand total of two playlists so far (yes, I forgot to mention the last one). It’s a fun way for me to try and discover new music and doubly good because Spotify now recommends more things I might actually like. Yay \o/

This month followed a similar theme to last month in the sense it was dominated by indie female vocalists. No shame here but it probably explains why my Spotify Wrapped labelled my taste as 'Bubblegrunge'.

The first song I added this month was Big Pink Bubble by Beach Bunny, which I’ll be honest… I now skip every time it comes on. They have better songs and I already added most of them to last month’s playlist (Prom Queen, Clueless and Nice Guys for the record).

I then stumbled onto The Ratboys and added a couple of tracks — I Don’t Go Out at Night, Elvis in the Freezer, Light Night to be precise. Later additions were a bit more random when I realised I’d only picked around 25 songs in two months. Cue left-field options like The Magnificent Seven by The Clash, Wrong Turn by Kim Petras, and The World’s First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip by T’Arctic Monkees. All good, but not exactly brand-new discoveries.

In terms of highlights, Good God by Daffo easily takes the crown — probably my favourite song of the month. Yoshi’s Island by glass beach also got a lot of repeat plays.

Here’s the Top 10 for the month:

• Good God – Daffo

• Elvis in the Freezer – The Ratboys

• I’m So Sorry – Beef & Sidney Gish

• Who Needs You – The Orwells

• Yoshi’s Island – glass beach

• Freequent Letdown – illuminati hotties

• Johnny – Yucky Duster

• For You – Free Cake for Every Creature

• Filming School – Sidney Gish (who absolutely dominated my Spotify Wrapped)

• Amoeba – Clairo
