Rediscovering “My Jam”
No comments on Rediscovering “My Jam”Doing some digital housekeeping whilst hiding from the heat this bank holiday weekend I found an old link to the social music sharing service “This is My Jam” that I had fun being signed up to between 2012 and its closure in 2015. That link now redirects to the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20210201150322/https://www.thisismyjam.com/andymstrange Having found it I thought I’d take myself back to the mid-2010s and create a playlist from the songs I’d chosen. Pleasantly surprised…

My best music of 2023 playlist
It has become my habit that at the end of each year to put together a “best of” playlist of the music that I have been listening to, or has meant something, that year. Again I’ve used the music streaming service Spotify to pull together the playlist. So if you’d like to listen to it here is the full playlist of about four hours of my best tracks of 2023. I spent a lot of…

My best music of 2016 playlist
It has become my habit that at the end of each year to put together a “best of” playlist of the music that I have been listening to, or has meant something, that year. I am very very late publishing the 2016 version. Various computer problems got in the way of compiling the playlist and then other distractions meant I couldn’t find an appropriate moment to publish it. But better late than never. Again I’ve used the music…

My best music of 2015 playlist
It has become my habit that at the end of each year to put together a “best of” playlist of the music that I have been listening to, or has meant something, that year. I’m rather late putting together the 2015 version – not entirely sure where January and February have disappeared to – but today I finished reviewing the tracks and placing them in a carefully chosen order. Again I’ve used the music streaming service Spotify to pull together the playlist.…

Miaoux Miaoux
It has taken me a while to get to this but I’ve been meaning to make a note of a recent musical discovery. Back in June I wrote in praise of a Radio 4 documentary about computer programming languages. In that I mentioned that I particularly liked the music, each episode had music that attempted to capture the character of the language being discussed, but that I couldn’t find any info about who the artist…

My Jam Archive
The music sharing and discovery service I had been a member of, ‘This is My Jam’, sadly closed in September this year. But rather than wipe everyone’s profiles and data, typically for what had been a well thought out service, they decided to archive everything and continue to make it available. Mostly for my reference, this is the link to my archive.

My best music of 2014 playlist
It has become my habit that at the end of each year to put together a “best of” playlist of the music that I have been listening to, or has meant something, that year. Again, I’m a bit late finishing the 2014 version for various reasons, but last week I finished reviewing the tracks and placing them in a carefully chosen order. Like last year I’ve used the music streaming service Spotify to pull together the playlist. One of the…
