My Spotify playlists, let me show you them

A playlist of excellent things all under the flimsy rubric of 'being from Africa': https://open.spotify.com/user/thepoacher/playlist/42zMBVOhA06TQLAZ8dht3q

i imagine someone besides me will find this useful: http://open.spotify.com/user/mordys/playlist/3bp3el01W6IXACRE8MWoSl

from here: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/05/19/100-essential-jazz-albums

how many are missing?

i don't remember the exact number. maybe 15-20? seemed like they were mostly there.

My 111 favourite Christmas songs (that are on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/user/seandalai/playlist/1c1STHtL9vh4ZDHgvwYNoc

Cool, thanks.

v good!

listening now, thanks!

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.

Yeah sendalai that was great! Listened to the whole thing

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

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.

My first 2016 rap/r&b/afropop/dancehall/soca/reggae++ lists. Trying to do them biweekly or even weekly from now on since there's just so much.

pastoral prog & relations playlist that I'm pretty proud of: it's a good listen!

Week 9

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):

Nice!

A playlist of guitar soli stuff - featuring the usual suspects (Bishop, Basho, Jack, Peter Walker, Charlie Parr, Fahey) and a few curveballs like Puma, Gabor Szabo and Bola Sete.

Week 10

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).

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.

I got into a mood the other day where I wanted to spend the rest of the day alternating between Pet Shop Boys and Kendrick Lamar so I created a playlist:

Also, if anyone is interested in hearing choral pieces I've performed that I've fallen in love with, check here:

My first, hope I'm posting it right: Originally thought of this as folk-rock & related, and it is, but also starts with "I've Just Seen A Face," ends (so far) with "Rocky Raccoon," in between goes from "Blackbird" to "Blue Jay Way" to---well, you'll see:
spotify:user:philobot:playlist:2tDdze0ZilOW2Mr9zb1fht

All Beatles.

Or is this a better format?

Guess so, since Chrome isn't asking if I want to install the spotify app

Discovered today that Ivy is down and this link is dead: https://support.spotify.com/au/problems/#!/article/Convert-Playlists-to-Spotify

Is there any other way to create a playlist besides dragging-and-dropping each song one at a time or importing from iTunes? I've got a text file just sitting here, looking like a chump.

It's built into the desktop app now (for Windows anyway) - you can import playlists through the File menu.

I recently discovered this site for converting playlists:
http://www.playlist-converter.net/

Though I've been mostly using it to convert Spotify lists to Youtube playlists.

Yeah, on macs at least, you still only have the iTunes option.

But holy cats, Marko, that did the trick! I dare say it even did better than Ivy! (67/75)

Yeah I just discovered the site yesterday. I haven't tried all the various options with it. Been mostly using it to convert a bunch of my archived Discover Playlists to YouTube playlists, whittling down those results to just music videos, and then playing the resulting playlists on my TV.

My Week 11-13 playlist is up.

Fresh finds, Week 14

So, now that Spotify allows users to upload their own covers for their playlists I've updated my 52 public playlists with their own artwork Most of these were created by me from 0 and some feature tweaked illustrations/photos I found on pinterest/fffound/buamai which I then modified to create the artwork. There are a couple of lazy ones in there where I just adjusted text and colors because I'm a bit obsessive compulsive and it was making me anxious to have half of my playlists with unique covers and the other half with the usual 4 album display.

Here's my profile if you're interested in hearing any of them:

Some of them have self-explanatory titles and some of them are kind of cryptic but you may get the idea behind each playlist with a listen. If you want me to explain the mood/sound/concept behind any of them please let me know.

Awesome!

I saw those the other day! Excellent work.

Wow.

yeah those are gorgeous and def make me want to reorganize all my playlists and make nice covers for them if i ever had the time

I'm no Moka, but I've definitely got a new busy chore to do!

Oooh. The era of music I find strangely fascinating!

Thank you! There were many hours of procrastination involved Marko haha do not recommend it. Nothing compared to all the hours of procrastination building them though... I seriously need to curate each one of them and purge some songs from each playlist.

I think Spotify is the only "social" network I ever use tho... no twitter, no instagram, no snapchat and I only use facebook to manage the bars I own.

Pplains that looks interesting! Tell me more of the idea behind that one.

Never was into Interpol... it seemed to me that artists from previous decades did that sort of thing better and always hated how buried his voice was in the mix. Then again I also don't like Joy Division which seems to be the closest reference critics loved to drop on them. It was always "the new Joy Division" "the new Television"

Oops that message was for the 2002 poll one haha.

Not much to it, Moka. Just one day thinking about how "Love Shack" is technically an 80s song, even though it sounds nothing like Duran Duran. Or how there were all these rock bands doing this thing of what 80s people thought 90s people would like before getting blown out of the water by grunge. Songs that don't 100% fit on either side of Dec. 31. Just like how it's always the Reagan-Bush years, never just the Bush years.

I've posted the link in this thread before, about 500 answers ago probably. Miccio's got a good one that could be a cousin to mine.

Been listening to your Caribou one a lot on Fridays.

Ah yes know I understand! It seems like every decade bookends have that no? Like say the 'Post Fordist Pre-Disco Soul'... I specially like how wacky 77-81 and 88-91 were... lots of songs and artists that sound like they would've been influential for the next decade but it seems noone really ever noticed them at the time and we only find them influential when making revisions. Will listen to that one of yours in the weekend. I love those sort of songs that seem to come from another time and place... they seem to age better too.

Can't really take credit for the Caribou one, I'm just a messenger but yes, that playlist is filled with goodies.

now* was writing from mobile and I always forget to doublecheck... stupid corrector.
