Apologies for any lack of coherence or consistency with any previous posts, on a totally selfish and boring note it has been a tempestuous week on my end to say the least. I won't bore you with the details, but physically and mentally I am in no way in the state I should be, so again, I can only apologise.
With that said, I owe a particular credit to a mixtape I discovered online that isn't actually mine. How I got to it is a long story, but you might get a kick out of it so here goes. E3 2014 was in full swing. An animator I'm a fan of (psychicpebbles. Check him out) made a post in reference to Ubisoft's 2011 conference, with 'Mr Caffeine'. I'd never heard of this guy so I took a look and cringed so hard that I wanted to cut my own fucking face off. Not for the faint hearted. On a side note, when are the powers that be going to stop treating every single person with any interest in games like doorknob-fucking retards with no friends, self esteem or cans of Lynx? Anyway. So that lead to a video called 'The worst of E3 2011' which was similarly cringeworthy all around. Some idiot kept saying 'Great job, Jeremy' (makes sense in context), I looked up the full clip of this odd segment, which lead to the music of a series called 'Touhou', uploaded by the same person. I'd never heard of this, but I quite liked the music. So, I searched "What is Touhou?" and got a very enjoyable and informative explanation. The same guy who did this explanation had uploaded this...
I was fucking blown away. Whoever this fella is, he has fucking incredible taste in dance music, impeccable I'd even say. Really impressive. Hammockalypse is, as the description says, perfect for late nights with the feet up in the sun just getting fucking monged on music, basically. It's not the most taxing stuff to listen to, which is where its appeal lies. It has put me onto some stunning artists, including Mister Lies, Blackmill, Stumbleine, Dengue Fever and...whatever FELT is. Think it's one of those anime things. Anyway, I'm practically begging you to listen to at least the first four songs on this mixtape, it's something truly special I reckon. It's been instrumental in keeping my sanity together and in short just zombifying me, which can be exactly what you need sometimes. Enjoy.
This next mixtape...if it goes wrong and you don't like it, there's only me to blame. So there is that. I've called it Blunt Shmokin' Super Songs. You don't necessarily have to smoke a fat one to enjoy this music, but I imagine it would really help. These are one hundred songs that I recommend you dip into and try some new ones you haven't heard before if you're just needing something to take the edge off. No metal here lads, this is for the laidback hombres (and whatever the female equivalent of hombres are (don't tell me, I don't care)). I reiterate that I'm not asking you to listen to all of these, not even close, it would just soothe my ego if you'd dip into it, find a new song you enjoy, then message me saying something along the lines of "I love you, my friend, and I want to have your babies". Cheers. Without further ado...

One last playlist. When pulling this one together, I was surprised at just how few songs I managed to pick for it. The purpose of it is to give you a bunch of...sad? Songs that you maybe haven't tried to pacify yourself during those dodgy little spells. So, aye, they're downtempo, slow and will generally put you on a downer if you're not in one but might pull you out if you are. Here is the last of my three mixtapes for this entry, and I've dubbed it Ow My Wrists:
