Just a quick post of another playlist for y’all. This one’s themed ‘Pain & Productivity’ based on two key reasons. Yep 1) I was in quite a lot of pain and 2) I needed to be pretty productive.

The Pain: Returning from a week’s snowboarding holiday having cracked my ribs on the 2nd day. I got through the rest of the days through a combination painkillers overdosing and indecent amounts of vin chaud. The eventual return to work (and earth, with one hell of a bump) caused the rib pain to feel a lot more real.

The Productivity: Well after a week away, my inbox had returned to its usual overflowing good self and all those ‘little’ tasks I’d put off in the anticipation of a holiday had come right back around to smack me in the face (well ribs).

I’ve scientifically tested this playlist’s ability to both reduce pain and increase productivity numerous times this week – and I am confident in proclaiming its effectiveness.

One apology for the poor quality of the Ada song – its taken from a mix rather than her album. Blame Spotify, soz. On that note however, the Ada album – Blondie is a must-own for anyone half into minimal/melodic electro.
