So here’s a big huge one to start this month because last month blogging was a bit shit but might be consisted a bit lazy blogging also? Because I’ve done this before, you know? Just to mix it up a little more on my little blog because lately I’ve been stuffing about with my yearly playlists on YouTube. So as you can see I’m posting one up again! I think, or hope to revisit them or some of them but got years dating from 1955 to 2010, that might take a while? I’ve been doing a bit of editing, I don’t know if anyone remembers them anyway? Mainly I’ve been include them in my 1001 albums book posts which but I’ve been adding even more tracks and re-hashing it totally by itself here and now, OK? I don’t how why? Kick-of with year 1999 which is now at epic huge 130 songs! Maybe because I do love the 90’s, have I say that before? More edits are all the Aussie tracks are now at the very start, adding even more songs tooo, almost making it to 50 opening tracks of Aussies but really Shihad are a Kiwi band, even if Aussie’s like borrowing/stealing New Zealand acts but they have been based in Australia themselves in their long career.
If I was going to say my all-time fave album of 99? It would have to be Teenage Snuff Film by Rowland S. Howard, his debut solo which his track Dead Radio is three songs in. Runner-up album would be little known Perth W.A. band with The Tigers debut entitled Space Coyote has to be up there for me, their song Scared Like A Rabbit is second track in. Augie March opens this playlist which that’s from their Waltz EP so that could call the best EP of that year so that’s the Aussies! So what about the oversea releases for me? Let’s say Tom Waits’ comeback entitled Mule Variations closely followed by Fiona Apple’s second one called When the Pawn… to just name a couple more so moving the tracks A Mistake by FA and Chocolate Jesus by TW to where all the oversea acts begin! Anyway what’s yours? Hopefully I’ve got something from it? I’ve still got all oversea acts mixed up, say NOT putting English or American etc. together after those opening Aussies but it’s more in styles of music than anything. Plus adding some my favorite bigger mainstream hits right at the very end which somehow haven’t been included yet? Hopefully the whole thing overall has a good/great flow to it? Edit adding a line each for:

Is anyone out there really going to listen to all 130 songs? I don’t know? Let me know how far you get or what? So even if you just click on one, hope you do enjoy it!
Picking fave movie of that year as feature image which was a female actor or actress who stared in that said movie last time I did that for this type of post, for some reason I forget now? I’ll stick with that but this time around for year 1999 I’ll picked out Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai as the best/my favorite film, who was directed by Jim Jarmusch and Forest Whitaker stars as the title character but it’s…

Cheers! 🙂
I got as far as Mick Turner (El Arbol). Wow, what a soulful, beautiful sound that is.
