I wanted to show you these images so you can imagine what it feels like to be in this world.

For some reason I've found the idea of Little Wrecks on audio ridiculously exciting ever since I found out it was happening.
We were presented with a selection of narrators and heard samples of them reading other things, but this morning is the first time I've heard this awesome reading of LW.
So, here it is! https://soundcloud.com/harperaudio_us...

Been trying to get all these things up before Little Wrecks publication day, while at the same time revisions to the second Highbone novel are kicking my ass! This one was fun for winding down in the evenings, though.

This is every track and artist mentioned in LW, in order. (Unless I missed one, in which case do tell me.) I didn't select out, even when I would have preferred to, musically. As for the narrative, yes I've selected the music for particular messages and feelings. So, it isn’t so much a list of tunes from the period which I think are best. It’s the soundtrack of a particular world. Characters are listening to things according to who and where they are. If you were walking a particular route through this historical time and place, it might sound like this. The relationship between people is expressed here as a relationship between kinds of music. It's social realism in a playlist!
I’ve given some specific explanations for each track over on the blog
