Ok, here's the rest!

Living Room Raverhttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/2ihkhrShinnYh4xoJDugQD
Similar to Berlinette but more pop oriented, think Morr, Monika and those sort of music labels. I usually play this sort of music when doing house chores.
Opening artists: Schlammpeitziger, Young Marble Giants, Other's People Children, Stereolab, Machine Translations.

Lunar Baedeker and Time Tableshttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/5uxIDEAndW1f3mx5OA4w6j
This one isn't as neatly organized as I want to but it still functions as a playlist. The idea is to have solo piano pieces sandwiched between classical music, but I still need to work the mood here and there. Treat this one as an early sketch.
Opening artists: Aphex Twin, Radicalfashion, Glass & Uakti, Gonzales, Anouar Brahem.

Dustygrooves and Soulsideshttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/141o0XFGQFp8sUftzTss18
Some of my favorite funk and soul songs. I need to update it, there's many songs I want to add but I always get lazy. Will clean and update some time in the following weeks.
Opening artists: Little Ann, The Five Stairsteps, Sugar Pie de Santo, Mayer Hawthorne, Lou Bond.

Graduation Goggles (circa '98)http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/6fmrfm7pBhau6Z059QR1xn
This is a personal playlist, some of these make me feel ashamed since I like them by mere nostalgia and I can't be sincere on their quality.... this is comprised of music from mixtapes I had from 1998-2000 when I was 13-15 years old (and similar sounding music from other years that fits in here and 15 year old me would have loved).
Opening artists: Modest Mouse, From Bubblegum to Sky, Guided by Voices, the Aislers Set, Sparklehorse.

In A Beautiful Place Out in the Countryhttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/7KwlC2e6gjmlZeGRGYsCci
This is for a friend who loves Boards of Canada and wanted me to pass some similar sounding artists and copycats.
Opening artists: Ten and Tracer, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Rykard, Bibio, Miles Tilmann.

KodoVeranohttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/0djbUjaP9EMLypTY5WBVSB
Similar to CosmoBalearis but pop orientated. Lots of 'Balearica' and Soft Psychedelia. Personally speaking, I relate it strongly to the summer I lived in Barcelona, so again I'm not sure how well it holds without the memories attached. I think it's an awesome summer playlist but some of you might hate it.
Opening artists: Tony Joe White, Air France, Honey is Cool, Mock & Toof, Fritz Kalkbrenner.

My Blood is Clean: Fuck Your Zen Gardenhttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/3eYcY3hV3uBAPO7WstyGz7
Psychedelic Folk, African folk, Gamelan, Ambient, Minimalism. This is a really old playlist so I can't quite remember what was the idea behind it... it's my response to meditative and new age music, I guess. Lots of beautiful songs in here when you're in the mood. Need to update.
Opening artists: Stella Chiweshe, David Darling and the Wulu Bunun, Scott Tuma, Gojogo, Arvo Part.

Premiers Symptomeshttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/25TbWdFJNXYsuXLm14MwLk
I guess this is my idea of romantic music. Smokey, melancholic, the right amount of schmaltzy. Its heartbroken music half of the time so don't expect it to work for the sexy times, they might work if you're looking for a noir setting, though.
Opening artists: Conjoint, Deus, Patrick Watson, Hope Sandoval, The Box Tops.

I'm missing a couple but I have to leave :/

Moka, Thursday, 6 November 2014 23:15 (nine years ago) link

Moka, these look great. looking forward to digging in to them this weekend.

Free Me's Electric Trumpet (Moodles), Saturday, 8 November 2014 16:38 (nine years ago) link

Thank you! I never get any feedback on these so if there's something you'd recommend me to add or remove in any of these I'll be happy to hear it.

Moka, Saturday, 8 November 2014 17:42 (nine years ago) link

I've been listening to the cosmobalearic one and loving it, bravo Moka!

badg, Saturday, 8 November 2014 22:47 (nine years ago) link

A while ago, I noticed that there were no old-fashioned gospel playlists, so I made one because I love this stuff.

http://open.spotify.com/user/kerrylkatriviera/playlist/14MGimGEMhkZr3z5fuiHFB

If you're into roots music, you'll love these albums. Very catchy, soulful stuff.

my wife wants a 90s hip hop playlist for working out - she specifically mentioned bones thugs-n-harmony as a band she wants represented. do any of u music aficionados have a good playlist i could give her? or maybe alternatively a great online list that i could make a playlist from? i found one 90s hip hop playlist online but she hated it + i'm not savvy enough in the genre to create it myself...

New playlist:

The Art School Jukebox: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/0SeMXr6fQ5iuJbKyZejfO2
Sort of a joke playlist. This is the sort of music that I imagine art students listen to impress their peers. It's 50 tracks long so far and even though it's a joke playlist it has some nice variations and I actually enjoy everything in here. It's not incredibly odd or pretentious, you can even play some of these at parties.
Opening artists: Art Ensemble of Chicago, Slapp Happy, Captain Beefheart, the Flying Lizards, Francis Bebey.

Moka, Thursday, 8 January 2015 01:01 (nine years ago) link

I listened to Moka's Dustygrooves and Soulsides and really enjoyed it! It is hard to find good soul mixes on Spotify. Good selections!!

SCOTTISH PEOPLE ONLY (I M Losted), Monday, 12 January 2015 15:01 (nine years ago) link

Here is a soul playlist I made, lots of seventies mellowness, I enjoy obscure gems:

SCOTTISH PEOPLE ONLY (I M Losted), Monday, 12 January 2015 16:05 (nine years ago) link

Thank you! that one looks very interesting, several songs I don't think I've heard before. i'm going to listen and steal some of them for my playlist! >:)

Moka, Monday, 12 January 2015 18:28 (nine years ago) link

This is one of the playlists I have since 2011 or so but I hadn't shared it because it's based around rocksteady/ska/reggae/dub and it's a whole wild world in there so I admit I have only minimal grasp of it. Even Spotify is intimidated by the size of it, it doesn't have half the music in my collection. Anyhow, there's some of my favorite songs in here, it doesn't really work as a mix so you can listen to it at random in small doses:

Kaya Kinks: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/0nObX3nMjV8X8vTUuNoGfx
Opening artists: Marcia Griffiths, Skatalites, Joe Gibbs & the Professionals, Max Romeo, Toots, Morgan Heritage, Byron Lee.

Spottie, Monday, 12 January 2015 21:45 (nine years ago) link

For some reason, I get nostalgic for high school days on Friday afternoons. Here is a playlist I made that makes me feel young and fresh again. I would love to put some reggae on it too, but I owned no reggae back then, although I did love it. Any reggae suggestions that would go with a combination of new wave pop and 80's r&b would be welcome:

Christmas Songs That Don't Suck
22 songs that would fit on a single CD.
I eschewed covers of traditional Christmas songs for originals.
Warning: Some of these are not warm and fuzzy. At all.

Haven't had time to listen to the end yet, but the quality, variety and sequencing of the material so far is outstanding.

Die Angst des Elfmans beim Torschluss (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 25 December 2015 16:54 (eight years ago) link

Thanks! I didn't really put much thought into sequencing tbh apart from putting the slow folky tracks at the end, but I'm not going to turn down a compliment.

xp showcasing the hidden influence of prog there. Whoever wrote the Top Gun theme must have been a Yes fan, The Travelling Wilburys clearly ripped off Curved Air for Handle Me with Care, and the Renaissance track sounds naggingly similar to something else.

Was The Three Kings in Clerkenwell on Friday, a pub with the walls papered with 1970s Melody Maker pages and a jukebox full of original 7" singles. Obviously playing with a jukebox is much more fun than Spotify, something that the kids of today will never understand - but I made a playlist from it anyway. Only missing a few tracks, (sadly including take me with u/let's go crazy):

Put one together for I Wanna Be Sedated, a book on '70s pop Scott Woods and I put out 20+ years ago. It's taken from the 100-song discography at the back of the book. Got everything, with four exceptions: 1) no Neil Young and no Slade, and 2) had to substitute live versions of the Germs' "Forming" and the Avengers' "The Amerikan in Me" (predictably not as good as the originals, but at least they were recorded at the time, not later).

http://play.spotify.com/user/rettenmund/playlist/1Ml54NLXgQPHClvELWeU8p

If you want to splurge, you can buy the book for $0.01 on Amazon.

Thanks! Think I still have my copy of that book.
