    Playlist: #NessysCommute 2020

    If you follow me on social media, you’ll know by now that the worst thing about living in London is the morning commute. I truly detest it. I hate the rammed trains.

    I’m not sure whether it’s just because it’s January, or whether people are getting angrier and pushier but yesterday, I got pushed around three times from when I left work until I got home. Like proper pushed, if I were unsteady on my feet, I would have hit the ground.

    So that’s why last year, I started sharing the songs I was listening to during my commute. I put a visual (photo or video) of my commute on Instagram and share a song alongside it.

    You can find everything in my Insta stories which you can find here.

    This is the second week of 2020 that I’ve been sharing these songs and as a lover of new music, I try to share as much as I can.

    Duke Dumont shares Nessymon's Insta Story

    It was lovely last week, when I shared Duke Dumont‘s new track, Therapy. He actually shared it on his own stories and said:

    ‘Funny thing .
    I made this record with the sense of escapism I used to go to in my mind, when I had to commute from Willesden to Elephant & Castle for work.’

    That’s exactly why I share the tracks I listen to. I’m glad other people get it and delighted that one of the artists I was listening to got it straight it away.

    These are the songs I’m listening to each morning, you can listen to the playlist directly on Spotify or in the box below.

    Hope you enjoy, let me know what you’re listening to!

    It’s absolutely no secret that I think that one of the worse things about London is the commuting on the trains. I mean, no easy way to put it, I bloody hate it.

    Squished trains, smelly armpits, rude arseholes who just won’t take their backpacks off and so hit you in the face. Yip, hate it.

    If I can I tend to try and get the commute done a little bit earlier than the majority at our local train station. I could get a later train but it would be more squishy. I’ve seen a physical fight on the platform where one guy couldn’t / wouldn’t move down the train so he was pulled out the open door by some one on the platform.  Putting it nicely, life is too short for that shit.

    So, a couple of months ago, to keep me busy on the train and avoid contact (if possible) with all the squishers,  I decided that I would start sharing a song I was listening to on my Instagram stories.  I put them all in a highlight for some reason. So I’ve decided to create a playlist on Spotify, imaginatively called ‘NessysCommute’.

    Everyday I add a song with an accompanying visual to my Insta story and then add the track to the top of my Spotify playlist.

    I’ve shared so many before I thought of adding them to a playlist, that I’ve run out of space in the Insta highlights. Here’s the current highlight with all the visuals.

    So, hope you enjoy!

    Spotify Playlist // The London Ear 2018

    Last year I decided that I would put all the songs I play into Spotify playlists.

    You can find the 2017 playlist here and the archive from 2013-2016 here. When I was going through them I decided that it’s waaayy to difficult to try and keep a playlist going that has a couple of hundred tracks in it.

    Playlist // The London Ear

    So here it is, the brand new playlist for The London Ear. Get your earholes around this handy playlist of tracks I’ve played on The London Ear.

    You can link this link here and open the playlist directly in Spotify or you can listen below.

    Playlist // Time Time Time, See What Becomes of Me

    It’s the time of year when we think of the year gone and its regrets and the year to come and our hopes and resolutions.

    Enough about that though, to mark the passing year, I’ve put together a 4 and a half hour playlist of songs about times, dates, seasons, months.. As Simon & Garfunkel said ‘Time Time Time, see what becomes of me’.

    Enjoy!
