Playlist

It is uncanny how much power a familiar refrain or beat has to catapult you into memories. I find CocoRosie is now laced with almost nauseating nostalgia for the months buried under snow, the yellow of the S-Bahn racing through shivering white. It feels out of place in this sunnier world. So in the spirit of procrastination I decided to compile a playlist of my year in Berlin. Starting from last September through to now, I compiled a list of certain songs with certain times. Some of them are new, some of them are old, some are much better than others but all of them have a niche in my Berlin-soundscape.



Playlist:

1. Idle forest of Chit Chat (feat. Souldrop) - Kinny
2. Summertime (Organica Remix) - Billie Holiday
3. Ambre - Sporto Kantes
4. Dearly Departed - Daedelus
5. Abbesses - Birdy Nam Nam 
6. Aaron - Paul Kalkbrenner An old housemate Florian from last Autumn like to listen to Elektro musik and cook Moussaka. It was very good Moussaka. Zimtig.
7. Transatlantik - Quantic I liked to cook to Quantic.
8. Kiara - Bonobo
9. Ketto - Bonobo
10. Der Kanal - Kleingeldprinzessin She sings about Neukoelln!
11. Schwarz Zu Blau - Peter Fox My German teacher was a big Peter Fox fan...
12. Catgroove - Parov Stelar
13. Rainbowarriors - CocoRosie I knitted so obsessively to this music! Soundtrack to my university commute throughout winter.

16. Your Mother's Son-In-Law - Billie Holiday The next couple of songs were some of my favourites to play in the Cafeté

23. Hoist That Rag - Tom Waits I stumbled across this again one day in the U-Bahn. Immediately I knew I'd heard this song a million times before, but probably when I was about 9 or 10. For the next few days I became a bit (dangerously) addicted to Hoist That Rag.
