My Spotify playlists, let me show you them

That's it, looking good too!

I listen to ambient music while running. This is a dynamic playlist of what's on rotation right now. I put this together during the ILX ambient poll, so some of it is my favorite discoveries from that. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7zOqJPTf0EwcNxO3VQmRnp?si=woIaPLbUSYOS9vTxGnUxaw

just wanted to chime in to say that I'm currently listening to frame casual and Good cop, Babcock's desert playlists and while I still have a lot to go on both, I've been loving them so far and there's some great music in there that I have never even heard before. Thanks you two!

Yes, enjoying both those lists. Into the Desert sustains some specific moods and textures while jumping across genres in a way I really like. My own list is sorta going for "Into the Pasture".

Thanks all!

I did another one of these, this time the dream has a bit of a celestial theme: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2I7zXoVCLfvoSAl1cbsTUR?si=O523ylI5RHeKOfMw9KpY4A

nice, thanks

Really happy with this playlist of mostly folky/world weirdness with a certain mood: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3n5w1xMHmWefWyUzFcvSTc?si=6ryF0JLUSEC85xzTZVHswQ

Cool, gonna check out a few things I don't recognise.

Liking that playlist.

did someone say 'awesome female-fronted early-80s post-disco r'n'b with a sprinkling of lovers rock, italo and new wave'?

https://open.spotify.com/user/1153731601/playlist/4W8JHb54Hk9GZ3n1v4Uq4R?si=Sj3oi4zCQ_KkP-885q6umw

awes - I've been playing "In the Evening" on repeat recently, "Awake O Zion" too. I see a few things I haven't heard before, will queue them up.

This is kind of my version of that playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7JgTtjP1okA85VHJazcBEw?si=UhU0IJsgTEqlx3eZvd0KUg

Thanks seandalai. It was the Spotify algo that helped me find those two tracks. The Fern Kinney track is what inspired it. It's currently my favourite song in the world.

i started a v long and not-very-focussed playlist of wonky new wave / disco and boogie bits / odd prog / afro stuff / electronic muck / indie nonsense / lush soul etc. it's a work in progress and the running order is a mess so best on shuffle:

Great! Following...

cheers dl! there's lots of stuff their that you'll sigh wearily at, but hope you find some new bits there too

i was gonna say, I had it on in the cr yesterday and there was very little I already knew, and lots and lots to like!

car

I assumed the Phil Collins was going to be a drone band I'd not heard of, but nope. Phil Collins. Helluva of a lead-off.

ha, that was kind of accidental, but hey - go hard and go phil

Spotify Wrapped giving me weird results this year, possibly a side effect of using the app less thanks to less work stability. Still, seems odd that Gordon Lightfoot is my top artist when not one of his tracks landed in my 100 most-played.

Mine is 50% video game soundtracks I listen to at work. Any ideas if there's a way for it not to count stuff like this?

My top artist was Yosi Horikawa. Top of the decade was Susanne Sundfør. I kind of liked the little story it made up for me

mine said i 'really vibed with iglooghost - i explored 13 of their songs, listened to 2 of their albums, and spent over 1 hours with them'!

That sounded grumpier than I meant it too, Nick - some great stuff on here!

What is Spotify's deal with Hendrix? He's my number 3 artist of the year, but I don't think I've listened to him at all.

how many minutes did y'all listen this year? i'm doubling even my most music-obsessed friends so i want to know that i'm not alone

943 new artists, 86 countries, 55k minutes... which is a new low apparently.

xp well Iglooghost does have a very high vibes to time ratio

904 new artists, 57 countries, 71.9k minutes (!)

Favorite new artist: Sault, 1736 new artists, 89 countries, 36k minutes.

One factor that probably upset my data is falling asleep listening to an album or podcast that kept looping/going. I appreciate that the app seemed to get the idea eventually that I didn't want it to loop albums (i.e., it didn't keep going back to the default looping).

I liked that last year’s data showed you how many different music genres you listened to. This time it only shows you your top 5 music genres.

i listened to much fewer minutes than last year 58k compared to 79k... not entirely sure why. still, not bad but i really feel like i've slipped when it comes to listening to music in general for some reason.

Top non-soundtrack artists: Big Thief, Scott Walker, Autechre (no surprise there)
87 different countries (wow!)

Someone called TPR who did an orchestral version of the Chrono Trigger soundtrack has been my top artist two years running, LOOOL

maybe Glenn could tell us our microgenres again :D

lol my kids annihilated my decade

congrats, Mark Mancina; your symphonic work on the Moana soundtrack kept them sleeping just long enough to think THIS night was the one where they wouldn't invade our bedroom

My kid annihilated my year and decade too, having a Premium family plan really makes these summaries kinda meaningless. According to my summary all I listen to is the Hamilton soundtrack, Marshmello, One Direction and "Flamingo" by Kero Kero Bonito.

I went through the embarrassment of not immediately recognizing my top artist of the decade lol. Klára Körmendi, thank you for your Satie.

the majority of my top stuff is stuff my kids or wife listens to. LOL at my number 3 song being the Pink Panther theme by Henry Mancini, which my daughter was weirdly obsessed with for a while this summer.

Anyway, 1303 new artists, 86 countries, 51450 minutes

2019 ain't nearly over yet, but:

844 new artists, 55 countries, 22534 minutes (a new peak, it's been about that level for each of the past 4 years but going up slightly year on year)

top 2019 artist completely skewed by the fact that I listened to nearly all of the Bobbie Gentry Girl from Chickasaw County box set once, one weekend

artist of the decade: Red Velvet (fair enough)

i got 90 countries and felt quite good about that

xp yeah this is early. Do they include the previous December in these things?

my AOTD was Joyce Manor, which, accurate enough

I listened for 100,000 minutes

when and why did the slideshow go away?

Just put me in the fucking ground already.

Things that play for hours (sleep/sexytimes) won out: Maya Jane Coles, Khruangbin, apparently J.J. Cale...

Just put me in the fucking ground already.
