Matt Jenko

Hi my name is Matt, but my friends call me Matt. I’m on the wrong side of 29 (damn I hate it every time I have to update that number), definitely feeling my age, but never felt happier and more content than I do at this point in my life. I’ve been through some rocky patches (who hasn’t) and lived to tell the tale, and boy do I gots some stories. When I’m not giving opinions absolutely nobody asked for, I’m doing a worldbuilding with my passion project, vivaellipsis. If you like offbeat nonsense delivered through immersive escapism, then go and get involved. Or don’t, I’m not telling you what to do. I’m not yer boss. I’m a simple man with simple interests. I like Yorkshire tea, the sound of rain on the window, and a bloody good story.

Playlists

Never Give Up – Sergio T. feat. Dim Gerrard

28 November 2017

We’ve talked a lot about the importance of perseverance in this business of saving the world. A wise chimp once said, ‘we only fail when we give in trying.’ As long as we never give up and never surrender, we can only succeed, even if we’re walking on two left feet all the time!

Bloodline – S.O.S

21 November 2017

A hero should be the voice of unity. If the true evils of the world are intolerance and prejudice, then it’s our job as superheroes to battle against them in whatever way we can. 

Dreamlife – Morning Fatty

14 November 2017

Even heroes need a day off. 

I mean come on, it gets tiring saving the world every. single. day. Sometimes we’d rather not whack on our supersuit (as usual, points for the reference), and just kick our feet up and watch some bad telly instead. And that’s perfectly within our right! No one’s paying us to be heroes – the world owes us some down time!

Bow – Kasabian

8 November 2017

The best heroes are aware of two very important facts in life. 

The first is that, in order to truly defeat evil, you have to be unpredictable. Life doesn’t move in straight lines, and neither should you. We make our best decisions when they come from an unexpected place, because despite all of the wonders of our evolution, we’re complete idiots when it comes to deciding what’s best to do for ourselves. That’s the curse of being rational. 

Never Be Like You – Flume, kai

2 November 2017

Sometimes we heroes forget that at the end of the day, we’re only human. We make mistakes. Flume and kai know this, and they want you to know it to. Maybe you fucked up today—you didn’t Save the World! Maybe you even destroyed a one. That’s okay. You’re only human, and yes, you make mistakes.

Lean On – Major Lazer ft. MO & DJ Snake

2 November 2017

Being the full-time superheroes that we are, we often need reminding that we don’t have to do all this on our own. As this track perfectly surmises, ‘we all need someone to lean on.’ This track is a loving tribute to all the sidekicks in our lives, the ones who make our endeavours possible, the ones who stick by us through thick and thin. Without them we are mere mortals; together, we can Save the World!

The Only Way Is Up – Martin Garrix & Tiësto

2 November 2017

There’s no rush quite like the one when Victory! is in sight. In these moments, the world is ours, we have full control, and nothing can get in our way. In other words, the Only Way Is Up!

Stamina – Jordy Dazz

1 November 2017

If there’s one thing any hero needs, it’s stamina. Life is a marathon, and this track is the juice in your veins that keeps you pumping past those moments where you feel like you haven’t got anything left to give…

Happiness – Sagan

31 October 2017

*Villains Beware: the following content is not suitable for those of a malevolent disposition*

This song truly delivers on the title. Like a jumper cable to the nipples of your soul, it’ll boost you through the most troubling parts of your adventure and see you on your way to Victory!…
