auspicacious

I've written about how I spent the summer of 2018 chasing concerts across Europe. Here's the (heavily editorialized) setlists from many of those shows, below and also available to play on Spotify.

I've used setlist.fm for research. In some cases, I had to extrapolate from other concerts or make up my own setlists.

Listen to these songs on Spotify. You may also be interested in my mega-playlist, The Big Shuffle.
