Notes

The first thing to note is that this list is now being published on a Sunday. This is due to a clerical error on my end when I first started this list. With this fix, a WILT list should now reflect more truly the range of music listened to from a previous Sunday to the most recent Saturday. Hurray if you like things in neat little boxes.

What to say about this list? I think you’ll find it rather incongruent from how it starts and progresses past the first three songs. I suppose there is a lot of instrumental music, and I am in a phase/haze with hypnotic tempos and ethereal swirls. It’s actually quite pleasant to be wrapped in a cocoon such textural swathes and rhythms.

I suppose there’s been less listening this past week because the news was streaming more often in the background. This was the week of the US Presidential Election 2020, between Trump/Pence and Biden/Harris.

In closing, I do recommend this playlist on a cold, rainy afternoon. There was a lot of it last week and I think it influenced some of the affinity I felt towards these songs. Oh, and when you get to Pink Noise Theta 30-36hz, indulge me and close your eyes for those three minutes. You might find that you like it.
