I’m terribly self-indulgent. This summer I’ll turn 30, and as I’m currently feeling more positive about my life than I ever have before, this playlist celebrates all the things that I’m not.
1. 30 century man – Scott Walker
2. Mr suit – Wire
3. You’re getting old on your job – Lonnie Johnson with Clara Smith
4. I’m a worried man – Johnny Cash
5. Look back in anger – Television Personalities
6. Shadows of tomorrow – Madvillian / Lord Quas
7. 50 year old man – The Fall
8. Getting old blues – Johnnie Temple
9. Working for the man – Roy Orbison
10. Dull life – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
11. Headache – Frank Black
12. Funny how time slips away – Elvis Presley & The Jordanaires & The Imperials Quartet
13. Sleepy man blues – Bukka White
14. Jack o’ diamonds – Lonnie Donegan
15. Getting old and gray – Howlin’ Wolf
16. Timothy – Henry Mancini
17. Tomorrow never knows – Jad Fair
And curse you Spotify for the lack of ‘Dignified and Old’ by The Modern Lovers.
Cosy catastrophes 
I like the playlist and glad you’re not feeling negative about turning 30!
Speaking of Spotify playlists, Spotify & Tourism Ireland have teamed up to promote the ultimate St Patrick’s Day playlist and I thought you might be interested in casting a vote! http://www.spotifyads.com/tourismireland
The best part is fans in the UK have a chance to win a rock ‘n’ roll trip to Dublin by voting or submitting a song. The competition closes tomorrow (Sunday, 14 March) and the top artists announced on St Patrick’s Day.
(Johnny Cash is in the running!)
