Now That's What I Call Music 999

"27 year old female who really does have the moves like Jagger"

In what is a change from the norm, this is a musical blog post! Recently me and my crew mate have been bringing in 'mix tapes' for our shifts! It started with a bit of Frank Sinatra because at heart we are a couple of crooners! Various conversations about music during our shifts lead us to talking about the music at school discos from the late 80's and early 90's so another 'mix tape' was made! Then there was the festival / skater scene of the late 90's / early 00's! Gradually we built up 70 odd songs which are now a mainstay of any shift! Following various tweets about Mr Boombastic I had a number of requests for my playlist so I decided to post it! If you have 'Spotify', set the following up as a playlist and I bet you will all:

  • Enjoy it
  • Sing a long
  • Move your hips
  • Realise you don't actually know all the words to Informer
  • Start suffering with Jungle Mania all over again
So, have a listen, have a wiggle, add your own! If there are any classics that I have missed, please let me know! This playlist is ever expanding and never exhaustive!
