Polyglot Playlist - August 2023

A little break from books. 

Also, a re-introduction to this blog for myself. 

Life has been pretty busy of late, work is nuts and isn't showing any signs of slowing down (although I am loving it, to be totally honest). 

I have also moved into a new place, and that as a project has been quite an experience. 

But I think I may now finally be somewhat more settled than I was. And I was thinking about this blog in which I promised myself so much. Actually, I have mostly stuck to it - in terms of 'diversifying' my reading and playlists. 

Speaking of the latter: I think it is high time I put out a playlist of sorts. 

What am I currently listening to? 

People who know me would categorise my music taste as either extreme: fantastic, eclectic, different, interesting, all-encompassing... or, awful. 

You be the judge. 

I will soon come up with themed playlists to put together; song and album rankings, etc.

For now, here are some artists I am currently really into:
