Songs for the Bistro #01

Not so much a New Year’s Resolution, more a revelation.

I loved music. Lived for music. A passion inherited from my dad who would talk endlessly about how my music “all sounds the same”, now I find myself repeating his words to my younger friends and colleagues, and die a little inside.

“What’s so great about Taylor Swift?”
“I think you’ll find that’s actually a Dylan song”
”I can’t believe you’ve never heard this!” (whilst talking about a song at least twice as old as they are)

Jesus. What have I become?

So my monthly playlist is a way of reintegrating myself into music. There’s a lot of stuff from c20 years ago, for sure, but I’ve broadened my listening horizons. There’s some nice stuff out there (Caamp are a notable new favourite). Hope yet.
