Stereolab Origins (derived from the youtube series by the Archives Listening Project)

Amazing

Not much at all to this one. Just an hour's worth of music, 27 songs connected by a word in the song title. Not proud of each selection, but it did stay random.

A new 90-minute playlist each week (so far), linked here: http://rooseveltcongress.tumblr.com/

Mostly post'70 R&B, jazz (so far).

Don't think there's been an ILM collaborative playlist since the US came on board, so let's do another one?

ILM - your favourite 15 songs at the moment

As the name implies, this is intended to be a rolling "current favourites" playlist, with a max-per-user of 15 at any one time. So if you're adding more, take the older ones off.

mike t-diva, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:08 (eleven years ago) link

Tried adding something but couldn't. Is it set to collaborative?

fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:14 (eleven years ago) link

(That's 15 max per user, not 15 max on the whole playlist, of course...)

mike t-diva, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:14 (eleven years ago) link

xpost - It definitely is now - try again?

mike t-diva, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:15 (eleven years ago) link

Ooh, that Cornershop track was on my shortlist...

mike t-diva, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:20 (eleven years ago) link

Success. My username is unterwasser btw.

fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:20 (eleven years ago) link

I really recommend the Ane Brun remix, and the original too fwiw.

fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:21 (eleven years ago) link

Marvellous. I'm keeping a non-collab backup, as well.

mike t-diva, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:23 (eleven years ago) link

This Auntie Flo track is brill, the opening keyboard riff sounds naggingly familiar.

fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:28 (eleven years ago) link

The Auntie Flo is my favourite track on a good album. Whereas the Purity Ring and Clark tracks are from albums which I'd previously dismissed as nothing special. I like it when that happens.

mike t-diva, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:34 (eleven years ago) link

I posted a few tracks, no real pattern other than they were the first ones to come to mind. The first three came from the Stereolab Origins playlist.

skip, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:53 (eleven years ago) link

First four rather.

skip, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:53 (eleven years ago) link

Billy Dods' first track (Ane Brun) flows very well from my last track (P-Square)... on crossfade, they're pretty much beat-matched.

mike t-diva, Thursday, 30 August 2012 15:14 (eleven years ago) link

Enjoying this

direct references of (seandalai), Thursday, 30 August 2012 15:26 (eleven years ago) link

That Chris Watson track is incredible. Knew nothing about him before; album concept sounds intriguing.

mike t-diva, Thursday, 30 August 2012 15:36 (eleven years ago) link

One of the original members of Cabaret Voltaire. Has been working as a sound recordist for past 30 years and has released a number of treated field recording. I think 'El Tren Fantasma' is his most successful, but they're all worth checking out. I'd love to hear a 5.1 mix of this.

fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Thursday, 30 August 2012 15:49 (eleven years ago) link

I just moved Quad City DJ's so it follows it. Can't believe I didn't think of it earlier.

fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Thursday, 30 August 2012 15:52 (eleven years ago) link

i really like the flotation song

rayuela, Thursday, 30 August 2012 16:08 (eleven years ago) link

the throat-clearing in the Ikonika track :D

hot slag (lukas), Thursday, 30 August 2012 17:07 (eleven years ago) link

I added a 15. Pretty random and with no thought of looking cool to my record nerd virtual friends, but they are what I am listening to right now.

Aceveda (admrl), Thursday, 30 August 2012 17:31 (eleven years ago) link

this is a great idea! i will add my 15 this afternoon.

pastoral mellotron soaked epic gnome and wizard shit (get bent), Thursday, 30 August 2012 22:01 (eleven years ago) link

added!

I have a Spotify question. If I go into a playlist like the collaborative one Mike created and sort by time or by artist or whatever, how can I get the playlist to go back to its original order of tracks? Sorting by "Added" doesn't always get it back to the exact original order -- at least it didn't in this case.

Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:26 (eleven years ago) link

If you've clicked on (for example) "Artist" to sort, click it twice more and it should revert to the original order.

direct references of (seandalai), Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:33 (eleven years ago) link

Huh...clicking "Artist" any number of times didn't seem to work, but I clicked "User" twice and that took it back to the original order. Thanks, seandalai! (Spotify's interface could stand to be more intuitive imo.)

Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:41 (eleven years ago) link

Added a chunk.

Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Friday, 31 August 2012 01:04 (eleven years ago) link

i fleshed out my "best of the peel archives" playlist to 100 tracks. they're only up to the letter r over at the space, so i'll be adding more tracks eventually.

pastoral mellotron soaked epic gnome and wizard shit (get bent), Friday, 31 August 2012 02:19 (eleven years ago) link

If Spotify could add a chat/salon function so that people subscribed to a playlist could chat while it played, they'd have a worthy successor to Outloud or Plug.dj

Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Friday, 31 August 2012 03:31 (eleven years ago) link

that'd make it even more of a resource hog than it already is!

pastoral mellotron soaked epic gnome and wizard shit (get bent), Friday, 31 August 2012 03:33 (eleven years ago) link

I hadn't noticed it drinking my milkshake -- is it bad for everyone else?

Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Friday, 31 August 2012 03:38 (eleven years ago) link

it is for me, but i always have a lot of things running at once.

Collaborative playlisting + chat is basically Soundrop, which never seemed to take off around here.

direct references of (seandalai), Friday, 31 August 2012 09:24 (eleven years ago) link

One reason Soundrop never took off with me: user-generated rooms & chat don't really work on iPhone/iPad, which is where most of my streaming happens.

Anyhow! This collaborative playlist is a goldmine. Just coming to the end of arosner's set, which is straight-up front-to-back blissfulness. (The Roches had a Jon-Anderson-soundalike moment in 1982? Who knew?)

mike t-diva, Friday, 31 August 2012 09:31 (eleven years ago) link

Loving the Peel playlist, thanks GB!

Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Friday, 31 August 2012 09:34 (eleven years ago) link

still going through the collaborative playlist. i'm gonna have the cookies' "i never dreamed" in my head for hours.

pastoral mellotron soaked epic gnome and wizard shit (get bent), Friday, 31 August 2012 17:24 (eleven years ago) link

added 15 more (deleted my other 15).

pastoral mellotron soaked epic gnome and wizard shit (get bent), Friday, 31 August 2012 23:54 (eleven years ago) link

really love that advisory circle track.

Jandek at the Disco (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 23:00 (eleven years ago) link

Just added a new set of 15 to the end of the rolling collaborative playlist - have taken the old ones off. Was aiming for a decent sequential flow between the tracks.

mike t-diva, Friday, 7 September 2012 09:48 (eleven years ago) link

seandalai's mix rocking the house right now! Great choices.

skip, Friday, 7 September 2012 15:45 (eleven years ago) link

I had no idea who The Roches were, so that Fripp solo kinda knocked me out. There are so many jams on the collaborative playlist. Thanks, everyone!

Sufjan Grafton, Friday, 7 September 2012 19:41 (eleven years ago) link

sitting here with a glass of flattish prosecco and some salted snacks, v much enjoying upper m sh@kedown's list, and looking fwd to a week's holiday.
