2022: the story so far in 50 songs (playlist)
My favourite four and a half hours of music released this year so far
Here it is!
My favourite music from the first half of 2022 - only music officially released from January 1st 2022 to June 30th 2022 was considered - condensed into a little over four hours, and 50 songs. The order isn’t random, but it does not indicate preference - it’s just a little ride I’d like to take you on, as if I was playing you a DJ set. Skip stuff you hate however you prefer. To listen to the whole shebang, and because Substack still doesn’t allow Mixcloud embeds to make this look prettier, just click here. Or better yet:
Because this is our first 100% free and open post, please be officially welcome to the new The Devil’s Mouth substack. I hope you enjoy yourselves. Stay a while. A ton of fun stuff is coming. Why not subscribe and get access to full content and never miss a post?
So here is the complete list of songs, also with the name of the release where they’re taken from. Hope you get to add a few new favourites to your discography. And feel free to spread this playlist like the plague. But a cool new plague, not the one we’ve had for a while now.
Go!
