spoti playlist listening just went from sleater kinney "a real man" --> the glands "call me doctor"
that was A+ transition if that was done on purpose

Isn't Call Me Doctor great?

yes. but i've pretty much agreed with your take on the glands in general ever since reading your enthusiastic posts on 'em

Ha! Well thank you. Have you heard Double Coda?

certainly. feel like i'm still getting to know it but listen to it semi-regularly. i love the sonic variety and it seems like another STRONG batch of songs. the closer is a real beauty, too

just going in on the playlist and i'd never heard any they might be giants before, just got through all their nominated songs... this is something people really like?

hahaha right there with you

Same, except I’d heard them before. Many of my friends were obsessed with them in middle school

Entirely the fault of Tiny Toons, man.

kiss me son of god has a real shot to be my number one on this here thing

so haters can all stand on their own heads

We have gotten through the entire Spotify playlist so far. Number of tracks saved for further consideration: 115. Good job everyone I guess

We must also remember that there are a lot of great songs not on Spotify, and come the campaigning thread, this may be a priority for some

Is there a quick way to tell how many songs you've hearted in a playlist?

not really, but you can go to your 'songs' list and then sort by date added and grab all the recent ones and throw in a separate playlist

Works for me.

one of the reasons i've been so desultory on the noms is because i don't do spotify and thus am, in a practical sense, precluded from meaningfully participating in this particular poll

i don't do Spotify but do have a radio show so am often in need of songs to fill a short gap at the end of the show.

one of the reasons i've been so desultory on the noms is because i don't do spotify and thus am, in a practical sense, precluded from meaningfully participating in this particular poll

Can you elaborate

Just get the song length from wherever you listen to it online, or from your CD player. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t match up to the Spotify length. I’m just using Spotify as the decider when songs are really close to exactly 2 minutes, in an attempt to defuse other inevitable complaints about the process

― Karl Malone

looking up several thousand short songs individually on youtube to see if i like them vs. clicking on a spotify playlist

What would we do if Spotify didn’t exist? Having a convenient way for some people to listen to songs doesn’t decrease anyone else’s ability to participate.

CP do you mind just limiting your noms to things you might vote for on a 50-track ballot? Do you want to go through the rest of the alphabet and pick yr favorites or just stick with those?
