The Recovery Mixtape
The Recovery Mixtape by bangsandabun
After some douchenozzle rear ended my blog sister Smarty Jones last week and a complete A-hole knocked my real life sibling, Brother Bangs (AKA Our Kid) off his bike recently, I figured it was only right for me to make a recovery mixtape to help the afflicted get out of their pain killer-stupores and back on their feet.
So I put together this little mix of songs that are either uplifting in some way or encourage you to get off your ass. If you’re recovering from injury, illness or just need a little extra push to get you motivated, this is the tape for you.
All these tracks are gems to me but particular faves are Through The Wire by Kanye West. This is before he went full-douche and was actually good. Recorded right after his near-fatal car accident, while his jaw was still wired shut, you can hear the pain in his voice as he raps – I actually find it pretty emotional to listen to. If this doesn’t get you motivated, there’s no hope for you. Another favourite for me is Battle by Wookie. Anyone who was lucky enough to be around when garage was big in the UK will know and love this song. The lyrics are spot on and Lain’s voice is sublime.
Enjoy!
