Mix CD #20 - Trip To Mars



Hello!

Welcome to the first proper blog of 2017! Also welcome to the 20th mix too. You're probably getting sick of them by now but I'm still having fun so I'm afraid there's still plenty more to come. Ignore at your peril/leisure.

 As is the norm, Trip To Mars features songs that I've wanted to include just because I like them a lot. Some have cropped up on shuffle, some are from albums I've been listening to and others on mixes I've made for myself to listen to in the car. There's a wide mix of stuff on offer so, hopefully, you'll find something you like in there.

I've settled on the final tracklisting for the next two mixes so it's just a matter of typing them up. Both are themed and I'm looking forward to sharing them. I'm not online too much in the next week or so but once I'm back you can expect the next blog in a fortnight or so.

Cheers,
Luke

Mix CD #19 - Top Albums Of 2016: Part Two


Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a good Christmas and all that. Now it's time to suffer some misery and yearn for the pay day that can't possibly still be over a fortnight away. By, January isn't half shit.

So yeah, if you're poor and sad like me then perhaps the second blog featuring tracks from albums that I liked last year will offer some sweet respite? It'll pass an hour or so for you if nothing else.

The first blog can be read HERE if you haven't already seen it and want to.

I've got a few themed blogs planned for the coming year, I was toying with the idea of a Profanity strewn mix and also one with songs of a depression/suicide theme. I should probably do something a little more cheerful too. I'll also likely be doing more mixes of Cover versions, B-sides and Rarities and Band Best Ofs. One thing I've not done yet is a genre specific blog so I might look into that too.

There's plenty to come over the next year then, in fact, the next mix will only be a week or so away hopefully, there's no specific theme for that one but I've about settled on the tracklisting for it. IT'll be the 20th Blog, a milestone!

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this one.

Cheers,
Luke
