storyviz : covers mix

This one is 100% covers mostly of glam rock and new wave titles from the late 70's and early 80's with a bunch of other stuff as well. (Yes the 80's : these songs are exceptions to the rule that the 80's were a pop culture wasteland––which is still true.) Heavily features Seu Jorge & Nouvelle Vague––and why not?––but there are plenty others like Florence and the Machine's delicious cover of Not Fade Away and some surprises like the Soul Fantastics.

Plus some other stuff. Mostly mellow, but some punchy tunes. Watch out for Seven Nation Army, this should be wielded with caution––maybe as the second song after a class ends. And there are a couple of holdovers from other mixes, but they fit so well here it is hard to imagine a good reason to leave them out. In they stay.

svc playlist : test music

This one is a set of tunes that sit on my machine in a folder called "test music". Not sure if these will work for class or not. But these seemed to do pretty well, despite some being lyrics heavy. Play during activities if you are feeling adventurous. Play as an outro if you are not.
