I created an ‘epic lockdown playlist‘ to listen to while we’re at home. I got sick of having songs repeat all the time, and I refuse to listen to the radio because I don’t want to be reminded of death, doom and disaster every five minutes. So a playlist was the way to go. I put it on shuffle, and it’s working pretty well. There’s more than 34 hours of music in the list, so I get a good mix of eras and genres, and a good level of variety.
