Check the Lynn Cannon tracks

making a playlist of all the women lead vocalists from numero's eccentric soul series. still getting through all of the installments, but it should be complete in the next day or two.

Cool

translated my old summer themed melodtamatic synth-pop mix to playlist form: i'm tired of crying on the stairs

(does not feature any songs by the cure)

*melodramatic

tho maybe i meant to make up a new thing but said "melodtamatic" instead of "melodraumatic." y'know, like a portmanteau of the following words:

melancholy
dramatic
melodramatic
traumatic

because idk that's how ny brain thinks sometimes. too much blue nile and long walks, i reckon.

not mine, but have a look at this guy's collection

these are great - thanks

This guy also makes great playlists (especially dance-y music): https://open.spotify.com/user/1227134574

Four years running now, another bendy mix of Persian classical, psych and folk gathered for the summer solstice and after:

Well thanks for figuring that out!

I enjoy the "discovered on" feature that shows you playlists featuring a specific artist, works esp well for more obscure acts

this is one of those playlists:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7rL9t4zOPZDF8PK83S1BqQ

good mix, lots of stuff I didn't know, kinda artsy/alternative low key stuff

Here’s how my 2022 Faves are shaping up (I imagine I’ll add one or two more tracks by year’s end).

Here's a short high-concept playlist with an ecological theme. Designed to be listened to in order

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ZzEjaDJEO6ghdYRZu4TJ8?si=-1Deoy9eQB2VR_kJy-yGXA&utm_source=copy-link

May as well post my top songs of 2022 here

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3gXT2QwTDEhRlCURH1CyV0?si=3bfba71e235843f0

Here's also a playlist of mostly Afrobeats / Afro-pop songs from the last few years or so, in rough order of how much I like them!

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/20OhiEFDobBfNktjBub0Ps?si=3f1392305dad485d

Cool lists! Many songs I don’t know on the best of 2022c but love the ones I do. Will listen to this one over the weekend!

Seeing as Angelo Badalamenti passed away, and I've been to see both Wild At Heart and the new Lynch/Oz documentary in the last week, I thought I'd tweak and re-post this playlist of very-much-Lynchian vibes.

For this one I was thinking about Lynch and also Andrew Weatherall, who in a strange way I feel as kindred spirits - maverick weirdos operating in a way so that they bubble just under the mainstream, willing to talk about but never fully reveal their craft. There's also an obsession with the "seedy underbelly", with rockabilly, with what's going on in the backstreets both physical and psychological.

So here again is 'S M O G', a soundtrack for a doomy, smoky, 3am Gothic-noir dub, jazz and electronic lounge

Enjoy this playlist of early-90s pop-dance

What are brownies? That's something they started making in the early '70s. All the rock got down / mid-tempo, a bit folky, a bit dusky, and all the album covers had to be sepia. There's much more than what's here, of course, but this is a place to start, and a place I like to go when my soul feels like leftover hash:

brownies

oh man. Thank you. i feel like this would be serious scott seward catnip. Scott if you’re out there….. tune in!!

that Gary Higgins album is so so great

those are some tasty brownies

Just for fun, I've been putting together a rolling playlist to be scrubbed and updated weekly, just of tunes I've been enjoying that week. Give it a follow. I'll update it every Friday lunchtime

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2PoogCsS0VYTBeRTG8ce8r?si=2ea5f6dc4bcf4e52

If anyone else has migrated to Tidal (I recommend it), I have migrated my playlists.

Since Spring is here, I will share my "Alternative Yachting" playlist, but I make playlists with different themes all the time:

Wicked happy with my spring chamber/drone/Iranian playlist. Listened while I walked by a stormy ocean, it was good:

I can certainly get behind this sort of thing

So, last weekend we had a party at my house and a couple of friends and myseelf took turns queuing songs and I thought it made for a cool, eclectic party playlist. Mostly disco funk and house early and later on I stopped paying attention and adding songs as the drunker we were the music shifted to recent hits/reggaeton:

I've been keeping a rolling 1 hour playlist of things I've been enjoying lately. Each week I wipe it and refill it with another hour of tunes

Give it a follow if you're interested

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2PoogCsS0VYTBeRTG8ce8r?si=qCRmUAFmTwuen-hZ6xLzWA

v good stuff thanks have been checking that one out a bit

Aw thanks! :-)

Happy solstice! Not as good as the April one, but there's a lot of good droney wistful chamber stuff coming into my orbit lately, and I've been revisiting alt-country stuff from the turn of the century

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1YIxWge1UX6dksZWCiT49B?si=8773338d25564c6b

(and cheers to Moka for introducing me to Warsaw Village Band on one of her playlists - there seems to be a lot of interesting folk reinterpretations coming from Poland these days.)

If you're in the market for a sprawling, something-for-everyone summer mix organized (roughly) to follow a day from early morning to late night, check this out.

Cheers! If I was a producer/artist I would have already sampled them 100%. So many flooring moments in their music.

Great playlist btw!

I made this playlist for a friend - compilation of Ireland/UK folk music released since 2000: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4dPDj2BvXxVnWYgPbqQtXm?si=acfed13d83854c75

I made this one of all the bands I liked in the 80s.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3AJFnVl9iQvGmyuzfW7FL0?si=33265b76602c4fed

(And then used algorithmic tools to make an even longer companion list of every band related to these that I didn't put on my list.)

Xxxpost bendy: may I recommend you listen to Bile Inferno by Iva Bittova + Vaclavek

Probably one of my top 100 all time favorite albums. Definitely would consider it my #1 pick for freefolk/avant folk.

I call this one "Greeby Rock Rave", essentially 90s UK bands who tried to blend RATM-like agit prop with rave music, with mixed results!

ablaeser, your 24 hour summer playlist is excellent - I've been hammering it all week and it totally hits my sweet spot.

Dreamy/shimmering English vibe feels right today

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/77IbVoALiBfbT9mNoUDCBO?si=A9r0EgiqRk6wzWWs_nvFWw

(...Actually there are a lot of bands on that playlist that aren't English, I guess I was just playing it up bc it's frontloaded with Boo Radleys, Chapterhouse, KoD)
