I enjoyed Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur movie
We watched Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword today. I’ve been listening to Daniel Pemberton’s soundtrack for the last week or so, and was looking forward to watching the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rbPTQIdjmY The movie didn’t do well at the Box Office, and a series of sequels was scrapped. That’s a big pity. I really…
Feeling a bit better with this song
I’ve had a rough week or two with more anxiety and depression than usual. Music tends to help my mood, and “Like Gold” by Vance Joy is one of those songs for me: https://open.spotify.com/track/3P4spaSr7co8diWOj72X9A?si=j5FElvM2S3a9F3L-upAOcw Actually, I’m really enjoying Vance Joy generally at the moment.

The music that helps get me up those hills
I’ve been running for the last two months (not continuously), and I’ve experimented with some sort of audio accompaniment to help pass the time.

Starting my week with rhythmic inspiration from Emancipator
I came across music by Emancipator in one of my Spotify playlists. I started to dig into some of the albums, and I really enjoy this music for general background music, as well as for work.

Enjoying 9 Dead Alive by Rodrigo y Gabriela
One of our many, many Slack channels at Automattic is one that focuses on great soundtracks, and other instrumental music. We usually share movie, TV, and game soundtracks in the channel. The other day, I mentioned how I’d love to find more music like Cody Francis’ “Mountain Air” – https://open.spotify.com/track/7z40FeBqt9U0DaDQxEmxUV?si=ADS7LPfSQ6G69b5QHu-w1w I really enjoy this track,…
Keeping track of my media diet
