Afternoon, Scrubs!
It's been a little while since I added some badass choons to our playlist, so here I am with another update!
As I'm sure you're all aware, our launch date is speeding towards us so not every request for playlist additions is answered - and I'm totally OK with that, the team have far more important things to do than answer my emails asking for music ;), but as such you may find that this is a shorter playlist addition than usual!
Let's get to it!:
Chris Knott, Lead Animator:
Too Many Zooz - Warriors
Galantis - Satisfied
Black Label Society - Trampled Down Below
Gary Carr, Founder:
Therapy - Screamager
L7 - Pretend We're Dead
These are summer holiday songs to me! I may not be on holiday, but it is summer!
Rich Brooks, Coder:
Foster The People - Torches - Don't Stop
Foster The People - Sacred Hearts Club - Doing It for the Money
OneRepublic - Oh My My - Kids
OneRepublic - Native - Life In Color
I love Foster the People. They're brilliant live and have similarities to OneRepublic. They're quite 'pop', but that's not always a bad thing :). And they both have great lead singers.
Mark Smart, Lead Artist
Chilled list this month, to try and combat the stress of landing a game.
Miserable Strangers – King Creosote
From the soundtrack From Scotland With Love. What a beautiful tune. Not as miserable as you may think. Has a lovely uplifting refrain at the end. See also Desperadoes Under The Eaves by Warren Zevon.
Ramblin’ Man – Lemon Jelly
No not blues, as the title would kind of suggest. A magnificent list of all the places the “Ramblin’ Man” has been to, over a sublime laid back groove track. The way the places are announced gives a real exotic feel to them, Kentish Town and Sudbury included.
Lauran Carter, Community Manager:
Elbow, Mirrorball
My brother got married last week and this was their first dance. I still can't listen to it without crying happy tears :')
