Im going back to old albums and this week, the mood is poignant Tracy Chapmans Fast Car.

Well I’ve been playing this game called Pacific Drive. It’s a driving game, but also survival horror. It’s like Jalopy, but with the anomalies from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The game is fantastic, I highly recommend it.
Anyway, the soundtrack seriously slaps. They licensed music from independent and lesser known artists for the radio stations, and it’s all super atmospheric and perfect.

I’m not sure if it’s just by coincidence, however recently I’ve been getting various Lesbian singers recommended to me by YouTube. And they’ve been pretty fire.
Chappell Roan, Girl in Red, Frances Forever (love the Space Girl song), etc.Usually some punk mixed in the playlists, from Crass to Mudrats (been fond of their song “I Hate Rich Cunts”, very catchy). Along this vibe there’s I guess closer to a punky UK Garage fusion with Cuppa Tea by EV.
I’m listening to this 1995 masterpiece every day after my workout lately:
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.
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
Trying to keep it lighter & instrumental this week after been on a bit of a metal streak
Boards of Canada music has the right to children and campfire headphase, The Field, Tycho, Onra, Monster Rally, Bonobo, Ott, Com Truise
Great album
I just got The Coup - Genocide and Juice
whole album and have been enjoying the heck out of it even if I still can’t find Sorry To Bother You physically.Otherwise I “discovered” Ghost: The Future is a Foreign Land has been hurting me in a nice way.
My favorite band Red Vox just put out a new album called Retcon:

I especially like the song “Brother,” it’s a sad song so fair warning:
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.
Paris Paloma - Labour https://youtube.com/watch?v=jvU4xWsN7-A
This is the first I’ve heard Paris Paloma. I like it, it reminds me of Florence and the Machine.
Also, cool video!
I’ve been mostly listening to Big Special recently.
My car CD changer (a Deezer playlist I add/remove albums to) currently has
No Hard Feelings - The Beeches, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess - Chappell Roan, The Make it All Show - Skating Polly, Film Noir - Faouzia, Streetwise - Pretty Sick, Woman of Faces - Celeste, Lux - Rosalía, Dummy - Portishead, From the Pyre - The Last Dinner Party
I think I’m gonna swap out Pretty Sick for some Beatles (Helter Skelter came on Flow and reminded me they exist). Probably swap Faouzia for something, I saw Mary Middlefield in New Release, so probably that. Poppy is in New Releases too, isn’t she with Evanescence touring, so I’ll give that a go. I thought about Full Moon Fever - Tom Petty, but I just didn’t love it like I used to. The CD changer is due a refresh.
I found a “Every UK #1 1952-2021” playlist. I might copy it, tidy it up, remove the Xmas singles and have that as a car playlist for a bit.
Oh I miss them. Under the seat? I’ve seen them on eBay recently.
Or in the boot.
I just fake it with a Playlist these days. Add 5-10 albums to a playlist and swap albums out as and when. I do miss the ‘skip album’ button though, press that enough and you knew that CD needed pulling for something else. Now I’m furiously skipping tracks one at a time to get to the next ‘CD’, which encourages me to change that album faster, but is distracting while driving.
