Mix CD #21 - NSFW

Here's your fuckin' mix you.

 As you can see it's awash with profanity and a plethora of naughty words. Everyone knows, swearing is neither big nor clever but can, on occasion, be funny.

I've never really understood people who get incredibly offended at cursing. Everyone does it, maybe some more than others but everyone at some point lets slip a shit, fuck or pissflaps. I swear constantly and don't even realise it half the time. There's a time and place for it to be sure but they're only really words. Maybe the world would be a nicer and less stressful place to live if people didn't get offended by things they don't really need to.

So yeah, it's full of swearing and, depending on where you work, it's probably not advisable to play once you've clocked on.

I narrowed this down from a very large list as you can imagine. Fuck in particular had over a hundred songs to choose from. I could likely have made it even more offensive too as there are plenty of songs with way more swearing in them than the ones I've included but I only wanted songs with bad words actually in the title.

Generally speaking, there are a lot more short, angry Punk songs with swearing in their titles knocking about than there are lengthy, sweeping Prog Rock epics with swearing in theirs. For that reason there are more tracks on this mix than usual. It's gonna take me ages to write up!

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

Mix CD #18 - Top Albums Of 2016: Part One

2016 has certainly been a game of two halves, a double edged sword, two sides of the same coin blah blah blah. On the one hand there's been an incredulous amount of well loved celebrities and musicians bowing out with no encore but on the other there's been an absolute deluge of quality albums released this year. So much so that album that might normally sit comfortably in my top 20 haven't even made the top 40.

For that reason I figured I would do two AOTY mixes this year and get to feature some albums that I think people will like but that haven't made the Top 20. Rather than have them in order of preference I just shuffled the 40 songs,split them into two playlists and fiddled about with it to make two posts for the blog. This being the first.

If you want to know what my actual Top 20 albums, in order, are then there's another blog over at All The Time I Was Listening To My Own Wall Of Sound HERE

The Mix Tracklisting
Scott Sorry - 'Til All The Pieces Fit
Devil Gone Public - Chillin', Killin'
Haken - Red Giant
Love Zombies - Favourite Song

Mix CD #17 - They Broke Him Down

Hello! It's been a while since my last post, life stuff and that, sorry. To be honest, when I started the blog this was the sort of gap I wanted between mixes anyway. I've just been having too much fun churning them out willy nilly. Caution to the wind and to Hell with the consequences!

This one has no particular theme, just a collection of cool songs that you should listen to and possibly enjoy, You must also read the blurb I've written about each track too. It's important.

That's almost it for this year I would think, I've got an Albums Of The Year one planned that I'll have out in two-three weeks and then it'll be 2017. No more dead famous people, hurrah!
Some of you will know that I also do album reviews for another blog, All The Time I Was Listening To My Own Wall Of Sound, I normally do a Top 20 Albums Of The Year post there so I'll probably tie the two together in some way. Have you stopped reading yet?

Here's what on the mix today.
Streetlight Manifesto - They Broke Him Down
Winter In Eden - Constant Tomorrows
21 Taras - Mystic Signs
The God Damn Whores - Unemployment Man
Native Construct - Spark Of The Archon

Mix CD #16: Children Of The Night - A Halloween Mix

Hello! 

It's been a while since the last mix but I've finally finished this, the sixteenth mix and the first with a proper actual themed theme, with the theme being, obviously Halloween. There's a veritable cornucopia of songs that are creepy, spooky and downright supernatural in nature on here. BUHWAHAHAHAHAAAA and all that. 

To be honest, it just looks like the playlist from Alternative club night in the 90's. Still, can't rain all the time...

Mix CD #15 - Raise A Little Hell

Hello and welcome to the fifteenth installment of Sapphire Bullets! Again, there's no theme this time, just more songs I liked. There seems to be a lot of mid-range heaviness though. And George 'King Of The Ukulele' Formby. I'm pleased with the way the mix came out, it sounds just fine playing too loud in my car, even George.

I've no set plans for what comes next just yet. There's a Halloween mix in the pipeline along with a mix of my Albums Of The Year. I might do a Christmas mix when the time comes but we'll see.

Anyway, for now enjoy this mix, read all my blurb and get in touch if to want to know more about any of the bands or just to pass on feedback even.

Cheers,
Luke

So here you go, mix number fourteen! It's back to no theme this week, just songs I've liked I want you to like too.
There seems to be an awful lot of older music on this mix this time, While it just seems to have fallen that way, the fact I'm an old man that listens to old music no doubt had quite a large part in it! There's a few Grunge songs and a few 90's Britrock tracks too as well as a bit of Stoner, some Punk and a couple of other bits and pieces.

I hope you like it,
