22/02/2026 - A-Z

=== Thoughts ===

Something a bit lighter for Sunday. A few years ago, my partner and I started a year-long project to collate the music we listened to into individual A-Z playlists. The rules are very simple:

  1. For each letter of the alphabet, pick a song that you've listened to.
  2. Try to fill as much of the alphabet as you can (good luck trying to find a Q or an X).
  3. Avoid songs that you've picked in previous years.
  4. This one is personal to me, but I try to avoid duplication of artists across letters. So I might listen to a bunch of Carly Rae Jepsen, but she's only allowed one letter in the A-Z (sorry, Carly).

It's been a good way to explore music, especially when it gets a little later into the year and those empty letters start taunting you. For the curious, I currently have the following in my A-Z for this year:

A: Alter Ego, by Ave Mujica

B: Ban This Song, by Moon Walker

C: Chain, by Maaya Uchida

D: DEAD CENTER, by Reol and LiSA

E: Everything Burns, by Tom Morello feat. Beartooth

F: FAVE, by Hiroyuki Sawano feat. AiNA THE END

G: Good Enough, by Emarosa

I: In The Belly Of The Whale, by Newsboys

S: SUPERSONIC, by Go-Jo

V: Void, by Prymony

Y: YOU'RE NEXT, by Moon Walker

Z: Zoku Zoku, by Phantom Siita

A lot of these are currently up for swapping, others are firm favourites, and there's a duplicate in there, so there's plenty to look forward to for the rest of the year.
