Ah, the post-Christmas lethargy. Nothing much to do except drink fuckloads of booze, watch darts (fuck you Taylor for not losing close matches three times now, I really hope Mardle takes you to pwntown) and sleep. And eat turkey leftovers. But, yeah, stuff. What I thought I'd do (was going to make a longish politics post yesterday but declined to do so as I was too pissed) was go through my playlist and pick out 100 tracks that kind of define my life and that I think you ought to listen to. It isn't a best of, most listened to, or anything like that. It's just some tracks that I like, that I think you'd like, many of which you may not have heard before.
