Is anyone doing end-of-year Spotify playlists?
― Alba, Sunday, 15 November 2009 11:02 (3 years ago) Permalink
yeah, its now preferred to mixCDS between my friends. Although having hardly listened to much that came out in 2009, mine will just be selection of stuff I've listened to regardless of release date.

For all of you who use Spotify, has it changed the way you listen to music at all? Do you still go back to your CDs/mp3s as much? Just wondering what sort of effect it has on music consumption habits.

― postcards from the (ledge), Friday, 2 July 2010 09:08 (2 years ago) Permalink
They open OK for me when I click the links - but for some reason, they won't open from the Zing Touch app.
― mike t-diva, Friday, 2 July 2010 09:22 (2 years ago) Permalink
click the links, ha! far too mundane a solution for me to come up with :)

Playlists can take a while to load, so initially you might only see a couple of tracks.
― mike t-diva, Friday, 2 July 2010 09:54 (2 years ago) Permalink
it just seems to give up and drop out to the search.

Michelangelo Matos and mike t-diva's playlists are ace, still working my way through them. I checked Geir's too and it's better than I expected, not least the North Atlantic Oscillation which I'd never heard of http://open.spotify.com/album/4BJrmfqO7b0ZLped6EyZb4

I'm going to start publishing weekly Spotify playlists, with track-by-track blurbs on my old Troubled Diva blog. I'm calling them "Spoticasts". Here's the first one: http://troubleddiva.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/troubled-diva-spoticast-001/

I am doing my best to include my favourite non-Spotify tracs in my lists. Felt particularly necessary in the 60s lists because the 60s without The Beatles feel meaningless.
― You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Monday, 3 January 2011 22:15 (2 years ago) Permalink
Another Spoticast: Decemberists, British Sea Power, Jamie Woon, Teenage Fanclub, Drive-By Truckers, Derroll Adams, Gerry Rafferty, Japan, Mark Ronson, Mice Parade, Raghu Dixit, Cee-Lo Green, Fantasia, Jazmine Sullivan, Katy B/Ms Dynamite, Boney M, Cosmetics, School Of Seven Bells, Anna Calvi, James Blake.
