Im going back to old albums and this week, the mood is poignant Tracy Chapmans Fast Car.
Fun Fact: Thích Quảng Đức, the monk in the picture was not protesting the Vietnam War, but rather the Catholic oppression of the Buddhist majority by the American puppet government.
… which feels like protesting the Vietnam War, if we’re being honest. Both are facets of American imperialism in the region.
Fast Car is a classic.
Open invitation to you and everyone else to post what you’re listening to on !eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online so even more people can enjoy. 💚
😚 Thanks always good to find a new community.
Fast Car is one of those songs that always makes me cry.
I’ve been listening to Bob Marley & the Wailers:
Get up, stand up: stand up for your right
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight
I’m listening to this 1995 masterpiece every day after my workout lately:
Not sure what album it’s on, but Cup Of Coffee is one of my all-time favourite Shirley Manson songs. If you haven’t listened to Angel fire, check em out
Also holy shit your name. I look like your name I swear

I was introduced to Wardruna on my way to go see Wardruna 5 ish years ago in Vancouver.
They are great live not just in the studio!
I haven’t seen them live. Yet. Where did you see them?

Killswitch Engage, mainly their 2002 and 2006 albums “Alive or Just Breathing” and “As Daylight Days”, respectively.
Aside from that, some of Timecop1983’s albums, mainly “Night Drive” (2018), “Faded Touch” (2021), and “Searching for Tomorrow” (2023).
All good stuff. KSE was best with Howard Jones imo.
I created a playlist that just makes me happy, it’s a colourful mix of old rock (for example: Ram Jam - Black Betty), nerdy stuff (like Bo Burnham, Tom Cardy, Flight of the Conchords), lefty bobs (ex.: ZSK - Antifascista, Ska-P - Colores) and old cartoon themes (Arabian Nights, Ducktales, TNMT) with lots of quality german stuff (Seeed, Wir sind Helden, Knorkator), many epic rap battles of history and some really gangster british drill rap with a twist (like Pete & Bas).
It’s just… I don’t know, the songs are mostly upbeat, funny and energetic. I used to be mostly a metal guy, but with age came the conclusion that whatever makes me happy and gives me some energy to get through the slog of the day is just… good.
I usually listen to punk and rock, but today I’m having a boiler replaced, and the gas engineer introduced me to Gold Radio, a UK based station. They’ve been playing classics from the 50s to the 80s, so I’ve heard loads of old songs that I haven’t heard for years.
Right now one of my favourites is playing though, Mister Blue Sky by ELO. Possibly one of the best songs of all time :D
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Album: “I heard that noise”
By quickly, quickly
Tracy Chapman is an amazing live experience. Seen her two times and I hope it can be three times!
my playlist is usually random with a little of everything in it. But when I am feeling down about world events, hardcore punk is my everything
Been on a kick to find some soul vibey female singers. A weirdly specific genre, but it’s got some good vibes.
Example Artists: Couch, Rijah
They’re really small, from what I gather, so that’s always cool.
Love Couch! Will see them next month.
Not entirely the same, but ai also really like Lake Street Dive and Lawrence as strong female voices. Dont know if soulsy enough.
Some oldies that i love https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_That_Road_(Shara_Nelson_song) I also don’t mind 90s Deni Hines, Whitney, janet Jackson and of course further back Nina Simone and Aretha.

I’ve recently been a little addicted to the Eve6 album Eve6. Specifically Leech, Superhero Girl, and Tongue Tied. Been the CD I’ve been occasionally listening to my rip of.
That, and Backyard Babies’ Making Enemies Is Good.
