[playlist] Hump Day Power Play (11-28-2012)

Lullaby Mix

Something huge has happened in my personal life, and while I don't talk much about that here on Three Colours, I think a quick listen to this week's HDPP should give it away. If you thought 3C has been lacking posts in recent times, don't expect that to improve any time soon. I'll still try to publish my weekly playlist on time, but any more than that would be a bonus for now.

Stream the playlist below (or by clicking here).

01 :: "Sweet Child O' Mine" – Guns N Roses

And for those who would prefer the non-lullaby mix, you can listen to that here as well. Enjoy!

Now That's What I Call 2008!

2008 was a fantastic year in music. So fantastic, in fact, that it inspired me to start blogging about the great acts and albums of that time. After years of anonymous music writing on Wikipedia (fighting with editors on which bands were truly "notable" and Wiki-eligible), I decided to take my own shot at promoting my favorite acts, and thus Three Colours was born. Feeling a hint of nostalgia this week, I put together an HDPP with some of my favorite songs from '08. Hard to believe that was nearly 5 years ago!

01 :: "Gamma Ray" - Beck
02 :: "Mexican Dogs" - Cold War Kids
