Here we have some music recs. This will hopefully (eventually) get more fancy over time, but for now, it’s just going to be some Youtube playlists. I’ve taken a whole bunch of albums I enjoy, picked one track from them and placed them into one of four playlists, categorised roughly on energy and mood axes as follows:
Sanguine: high energy, positive mood; fun stuff
Choleric: high energy, negative mood; heavy stuff
Phlegmatic: low energy, positive mood; chill stuff
Melancholic: low energy, negative mood; reflective stuff
Playlists are randomised on refresh and will keep playing new tracks so long as you keep listening! I’m focusing mainly on obscure stuff initially: popular stuff might be added later. Each placing is hand-picked by me and while genre is a key guide, it’s not the only one: two albums of the same genre might be in different playlists at my discretion. I freely admit that some (many) of the tracks don’t neatly fit into simple categories like these, so you might find a few surprises in whichever one you pick. But to me that’s part of the fun! Still, if you think I’ve got a track categorised horribly incorrectly, then you can let me know at (psych, there’s no contact details here yet; hey, I’m working here!). At the bottom there will be more details of the genres each playlist contains and at the very bottom, very pedantic sub-genre listings for those who are into that sort of thing.
Without further ado: the playlists!
