This Week's Playlist #149 - The January 2025 edition
Happy new year 2025 - we are still on time :-) And 10 tracks for your weekend.
Hello everyone!
This Week's Playlist - Season 4, Episode 1.
Hello everyone!
First and foremost, Happy New Year to all of you (yes, I'm late, but we are still in time). I wish you all the best for the next year (or, more precisely, 11 months and 1 day now).
Welcome also to the 4th year of this newsletter.
This is the first monthly episode of this new format, with fewer topical picks (I'm quite happy not having to think about this in this very weird month of January).
But I digress. Without further ado, here is a monthly playlist with 10 songs for your ears. Quite Mainstream this month.
Here are some notes about each pick. I hope you enjoy them, and see you soon.

There is a YouTube link for each of the songs on the cover, and here are the playlists for each streaming platform:
1. Angelo Badalamenti - Twin Peaks theme\
Twin Peaks theme: an hommage to a great movie director who left us this month.
2. Darren Korb - No Escape (Hades OST)
Darren Korb: I dug into video game soundtracks, especially Hades, very prog ambient.
3. Asian Dub Foundation - 1000 Mirrors (feat Sinead O´Connor)
Asian Dub Foundation: I went to see them playing over the "La Haine" movie earlier in January. An important movie of my teenage years.
4. So You Say You Lost Your Baby
Death in Vegas: I (remotely) played some tunes for a friend birthday party. Forgot how I enjoyed partying on Death In Vegas during my student years.
5. The Old Dead Tree - Don’t Waste Your Time
The Old Dead Tree: I also enjoying the return of another French metal band I was listening to as a student. With a much more modern sound.
6. Akkadian -Teardrop
Akkadian: A very interesting cover of Massive Attack classic by a British metal band.
7. Serj Tankian’s Jazz-Iz-Christ - Yerevan to Paris
Serj Tankian’s Jazz-Iz-Christ: It took me until December 2024 to discover Serj Tankian's (System of a Down singer) jazz project.
8. Radiohead - Go Slowly
Radiohead: I forgot how good is their 2007 album “In Rainbows” disc 2 is.
9. Massive Attack - Silent Spring
Massive Attack: Talking about the trip-hop mavericks, an unknown (at least for me) track from their 2006 compilation “Collected”.
10. Deftones - Rosemary
Deftones: Honour where honour is due with some recent Deftones track to finish this week's spin.
Until the next time, Godspeed!
