I have listened to a LOT of different music this year, so getting this down to just 22 songs was difficult! As always a lot of the songs have been inspired by friends, and unlike last year Eurovision Song Contest provided some good numbers too :-D



1. Let Go, Let God - Jack CassidyWe'll start with one recommended to me by Simon. He remains my ( Read more... )

So... this is an unusual year. I've actually been listening to a LOT of different music this year, so it's been a lot harder to boil it down to my usual 20'ish. However, as usual the playlist is heavily influenced by music that Lars and my colleagues have introduced me to ;-)



Hopefully the embedding will work, otherwise the link is here.

Perfect Disaster - Drew Sycamore
Lars has been listening to this a lot, and it's totally grown on me.

Already There - Casting Crowns
There as to be at least one song recommended to me by Simon on these lists, and this year is no exception. I love Casting Crowns, and the lyrics to this one just got to me ( Read more... )

Embedding still doesn't work on LJ, so here's the spotify link.

I know we're not quite done with the year yet, but I don't really expect to finish anything else today or tomorrow, so figured I might as well post my crafting statistics now :-D ( Read more... )

Alas, DW/LJ still doesn't allow embedding from Spotify, but fortunately linking still works. If I was more artistically inclined I'd make some nifty graphic instead, but I'm just not that fancy, so you'll have to make do with just plain text.

Assuming I've remembered to list everything on Ravelry AND remembered to include the 2017 tag on all finished objects, here are my stats for the year. Probably interesting to nobody other than me, but oh well ;)

Ever since chestnutcurls started doing her yearly soundtracks, I've been inspired to try something similar. It's been slightly difficult, as I don't generally listen to much music (and when I do, I stick to the "tried and tested" artists), but at the same time it's been a fun challenge, as it's forced me to branch out a bit - for the same reason I've made it a ( Read more... )

chestnutcurls has made a playlist for pretty much as long as I have known her. I always love seeing it, but for some strange reason, have never been inspired to make one of my own until this year. The only problem is that I really don't listen to much music, and when I do, it tends to be the same few artists over and over and over again, so finding songs that ( Read more... )
