Playlists 74 to 88 - O, P, Q & R

Well, the last time I posted my alphabet inspired playlists from my various travels, I'd got as far as the end of 'N'. So, we move on now to O, P, Q and R. As usual, this experiment means that there's a real mixture of old and new stuff, and also a journey across different genres. This may be the last playlist for a while as I have over 400 tracks on my iPod beginning with 'S' to wade through, by far the highest represented letter of the alphabet song wise on my MP3 of choice! By contrast, as you will see, I only listened to the grand sum of 2 songs beginning with Q!

Incidentally, for anyone wondering when my next proper blog piece will be written, fear not. All I can say is, watch this space...

Playlists 52 to 73 - J to N

Found below are my latest batch of playlists listened to when I have been on my travels. This latest collection of 22 alphabetically sequenced playlists covers approximately a 2 month period and 5 different letters of the alphabet. As ever, there is an eclectic mix of mainstream and less well known artists to be found amongst the lists.

A few points of note. Playlists 68 to 70 were listened to during extended journeys during the course of trips to and from Manchester. Also, Playlist #62 which consists exclusively of songs prefixed with the word 'Love' in the title was rather appropriately listened to on a train journey on 14 February. This was not deliberate, it just so happened that these were next set of songs I came to in the alphabetical index of songs on my iPod.

Playlist #72 makes reference to the track 'Not In Love' by the Canadian electronica act Crystal Castles. Please note that the track I listened to was the album version without Robert Smith of The Cure's vocal contribution. This was not a reflection on Robert Smith's dulcet tones (as you will see from The Cure's other appearances in playlists here), but a reflection on my ineptitude in downloading the correct track! The single version which does feature The Cure frontman has now been downloaded and is a much better version than the track that appears on the 'Crystal Castles II' album.

Lastly, I should say that future updates of these playlists may be less frequent as I will commuting less in my work capacity, which is the main time when I have listened to these alphabetically sequenced playlists. Enjoy!

Playlists 47 to 51 - I

These are the latest sets of alphabet influenced playlists that I have listened to on my travels in the past couple of weeks. These last 5 playlists have completed the letter I, which resulted in 123 songs beginning with that letter being played, the most of any letter so far. As ever, each playlist has conjured up a diverse mixture of old and new songs and tracks from mainstream and less household names. Playlist number 48 must ranks among the best to date and was appropriately played on 8 December, the thirtieth anniversary of John Lennon's murder, given that this playlist includes arguably his finest (and certainly most iconic) solo track, as well as one of The Beatles' best ever compositions. Some great tracks by The Cure, Oasis, The Manics, Amy Winehouse and even REM (who I don't usually like) make this one of my personal favourite playlists to date.
