#murderbot playlist

[jammy-badger]

If anyone cares, I made a murderbot playlist that lowkey slaps. I made this specifically focusing on the first four books but if any fans of the show like it that's awesome too!

The awesome fanart on the playlist is by @moggettt (my personal headcanon for MB's appearance!)

Friends and followers, I have completed my playlist for Murderbot Season 1! (Okay, well, "completed" except for any good songs I stumble across later and decide to add.) I've revamped the whole playlist so it's almost entirely new songs, which chart the narrative and themes of Season 1 from Murderbot's perspective in roughly chronological order.

There's a post that goes around Tumblr periodically with the emphatic opinion that character playlists shouldn't include songs in extremely different genres. I happen to disagree with this opinion, and although I've attempted to curate songs that work together coherently within the playlist, a range of genres are represented (mostly heavy metal, rock, pop, indie, and rap.) Also, caveat that I've tried to pick songs that represent specific ideas and events from the show, but some songs are a closer "match" than others (and your mileage may vary).

Without further ado, here's the playlist. (Note that some of the videos in YouTube include flashing images.) (Track list in plain text under the cut.)

I Don't Like You - A Murderathin Playlist

Been working on this and I'm finally satisfied! |DDD Mostly different flavors of Alt because that's how I roll, arranged so it sounds nice if it's played in order. Cover art by the iconic @ytsenohhero!!

No Spotify? Have a Youtube Mirror too. (I recommend using Firefox + Ublock Origin as a browser btw. Adless Experience.)

Hell, have a .zip with the MP3 as well if you wanna ;33 (Tell me if if there's any trouble with the files!)

Hope y'all like this thing ;33; I had fun making it!! (Even tweaked it a little after E08, as one does sdlkgjs. Links updated!)

hear me out: despite repeated warnings by paul mccartney

strong secunit energy.

"Despite repeated warnings Of dangers up ahead The captain won't be listening To what's being said"

Its giving thiago, its giving all systems red, its giving mb every day on the job.

"He feels that there's a good chance That we have been misled And so the captain's planning To steam ahead"

Big early gurathin vibes, greycris

"What can we do? What can we do? What can we do to stop this foolish plan going through? What can we do? What can we do? (Yeah, yeah!) This man is bound to lose his ship and his crew"

ART in network effect, anyone?

"He had a premonition He senses something's wrong And by his own admission He knew it all along"

Faulty risk and threat assessment its beloved.

"The captain's crazy But he doesn't let them know it He'll take us with him If we don't do something soon to slow it"

Network + System collapse?

Gurathin playlist complete! Also I really like how the cover art turned out so I'm posting the blank version here as fanart.

The split colors are meant to illustrate how Gurathin carries with him the knowledge of the person he used to be along with the person he's trying to become, and the fear that he'll slip back into being someone he doesn't want to be anymore. He's also returned to the source of his past memories now in the present, and the colors mimic double vision of the past alongside the present.

(Tracklist at the bottom of the post.)

Gurathin Mixtape (Murderbot Season 1)

Songs that loosely follow Gurathin's perspective from his backstory through Murderbot Season 1. (The fact that this playlist is heavy on Twe

Putting this playlist together and following Gurathin's story from the beginning reminded me, things do get better. I can also personally attest to that. For the first time in a while, I'm going to bed at night looking forward to waking up in the morning and being where I am. There are still difficulties and things I can't control, but they're mostly just the problems I was already carrying with me or problems I'd be facing under any circumstances. And my environment has changed, I have much better support, and I'm adjusting to the feeling of being safe in a new way.

It took me years of struggling and small steps to get here, but I'm making real progress, and I'm starting to really feel it. I hope that wherever you're at right now, this playlist can help remind you that it's never too late for things to get better, and often it happens in gradual steps and in ways you didn't predict.

Also, if you're looking for some encouragement for trauma or addiction recovery, you might like to follow the blog "Use Your Damn Skills" by Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle. He gives very practical advice that always helps me put things in perspective and focus on what's important.

Episode 7 of Murderbot, plus recently discovering some new songs to love, has inspired me to assemble the two Murderbot TV playlists I'd started—one for Murderbot, and one for Gurathin—so they're now ready for listening.

First, four notes:

1) These playlists are "living documents" and subject to further tweaks. Season 1 obviously isn't finished yet, and regardless, I still edit my "finished" playlists as I discover new songs, find ones that fit better, decide one doesn't actually work well, etc. I also do my best to make them generally enjoyable for most people, but I am but one person with one person's music taste, so take that as you will.

2) Since the plot for 'Murderbot' Season 1 overlaps with the plot for 'All Systems Red,' my TV playlist for Murderbot has most of the same songs as the beginning of my Murderbot Diaries playlist, "Murderbot Mood." (That one is linked in my pinned post if you want to check it out.) However, I've also added and changed a couple songs in both playlists, so there's something new even if you've listened before. Some of the songs are based on things that will probably happen by the end of Season 1 based on All Systems Red, so spoilerish alert?

3) Much of the Gurathin playlist is Twenty One Pilots songs. This is on purpose, and partly because "Jumpsuit" was the song that inspired the playlist. (It has a line in the middle that— well, I'll let you listen and find out *grins evilly*.) It's also partly because when I was getting my latest autoimmune flare under control, there were a few days when I was in too much pain to do anything besides lie in bed and listen to comfortable music, and I ended up listening to Twenty One Pilots' "Blurryface" album on repeat. During that time, I realized their music is punk as hell, I relate to it on a deep level, and a lot of it also sounded like Gurathin and/or Murderbot.

(We could also discuss the fact that I "discovered" most of their music fairly recently, because "Blurryface" came out while I was attending a hyperconservative religious college that severely restricted the music we could listen to (and restricted when women students and teachers were allowed to wear pants). But that's a whole other post about "things I laugh about now because looking back they were kinda fucked up.")

4) I've seen a few fun-looking Murderbot song recs and playlists come across my dashboard which I didn't have the energy to check out at the time (see above autoimmune flare and moving). I'm absolutely open to suggestions and recommendations for my playlists, as long as your feelings won't be hurt if I decide not to include them. I was given really good suggestions which I added to my Murderbot Mood playlist last time, and at least one song on there I discovered through another fan playlist. So feel free to comment on this post if you have any songs you'd like to suggest. You're also more than welcome to add any songs from my playlists to your playlists (this might be a given but I'll say it just to be sure).

Okay, I think that's it! Now for the playlists!
