In my newest Epiphany blog, I explain the curious bond between Spotify and Facebook, as well as the problems I brought on myself a few weeks ago. I'm starting to really enjoy writing for the Epiphany blog, so expect more in the near future.

Sound Screen: Spotify Sunday - Miscellaneous Party LOLs
I spent ages racking my brain as to an idea for my next playlist - one that didn't focus on one band, but a theme. Luckily, I made a playlist last weekend for a friend's birthday and it worked a treat, and with good feedback today I decided to add to it and convert it into a piece for Sound Screen.

Sound Screen: Spotify Sunday - Die Mensch-Machine
My love of Kraftwerk knows no bounds, so this one was an easy one to work on, mostly from my own knowledge backed up with research, taking me about two hours. It's probably my strongest (or at least most comprehensive) Spotify playlist to date, so here's hoping you like it.

Sound Screen: Spotify Sunday - Talking Heads
One of my favourite bands of all time, Talking Heads needed a little bit of Spotify Sunday love, so at short notice and with a busy schedule I knocked together this piece on the band who stormed the charts in the 80s.

Sound Screen: Spotify Sunday - Rock Band: Third Time's a Charm
It's been a crazy couple of months since getting back from the US, though after a launch of a new blog and a couple of other things, I'm back in the writing spirit and aim to make a one-man job of the resurrection of Sound Screen.
So here it is, my first Spotify Sunday playlist since leaving for the US. Click here to read more.
Expect more work in the coming weeks!

Sound Screen: Spotify Sunday - The Evolution of Incubus
Another Sunday, another playlist for Sound Screen, a website I plan on reviving fully soon after my return from the US. As it stands, it's run by a bunch of people - myself included - with too much to do to give it the justice it deserves. Luckily, I'll be handing it over to a great writer in future weeks in order to secure its safety in my time away; until then, I'll be doing all I can (expect a cleared backlog of reviews in the meantime).

Sound Screen: Spotify Sunday - The Best of Air
In the next offering for Spotify Sunday with Sound Screen, I address possibly my favourite band: Air. It's not exactly a selective playlist, though it's valuable to those who haven't heard them nonetheless.

Sound Screen: Spotify Sunday - A Beginner's Guide to Funk
In my role as music editor of Sound Screen, I decided to propose something I've been meaning to follow up for a long time: Spotify playlists for people to get into a genre of music they'd usually write off, or haven't really listened to in any depth. The first, which uses basic Photoshop jobs on my behalf etc (dusting off my old skills), is all about funk and written/compiled by myself, though I hope others take my idea and use it to introduce others to their favourite artists.
It also gave me chance to break my record of 16 full articles in a month - one with 28 days too, which I'm seeing as a good achievement.
