Spotify would be the ideal place to host the famous ILM Rough Guides... if people are willing to put in the hard work (and if their catalogue is up to the job). The threads:

The Rough Guide to . . .
The Rough Guide Two...
The Rough Guide Part 3 (and general redux) - 15 tracks max or one CD only
A Rough Guide To ILM Touchstones

talk me down off the (ledge), Friday, 6 February 2009 12:34 (fifteen years ago) link

Hmm I might have a go at that on Sunday...

And I've just started a Prince album tracks one, but I've made it collaborative, so if anyone wants to add a load of stuff, particularly off all the more recent albums, which I don't know at all, go for it.

Prince LP Trax

I think this is what it could be really good for, collabortaive lists to accompany POX threads or whatever.

I've been re-reading Vahid's proto-kozmigroovers and Jaxon's jazz goes pop jazz goes disco threads and listening to all those records on Spotify.

Jamie T Smith, Friday, 6 February 2009 13:17 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm working on a Paradise Garage playlist, but there's a way to go yet.

Safe Boating is No Accident (G00blar), Thursday, 12 February 2009 19:38 (fifteen years ago) link

Well let's just hope they stay afloat so this isn't all in vain. And that they add more obscuro '80s and '90s stuff to the catalogue or these will remain incomplete:

ILM Rough Guide to the Bo Diddley Beat
ILM Rough Guide to Vocoders etc
ILM Rough Guide to Electro (all 6 tracks)

cat anatomy expert (ledge), Friday, 13 February 2009 17:54 (fifteen years ago) link

")

Safe Boating is No Accident (G00blar), Friday, 13 February 2009 18:16 (fifteen years ago) link

Helpful (perhaps obvious) hint: the no. of tracks returned in a search list is limited, you may get more if you click through to the artist. And you can search for/jump to tracks there just by typing the start of the name.

and no i didn't double click or anything, it was definitely playing from the 'the face' playlist.

Anyway, three or four omissions in each of these, but still a decent selection.

Really good. I've now become a Spotify subscriber - more out of a sense that I support what they're doing and hope they fully succeed, more than finding the adverts irritating.

Bob Six, Sunday, 15 March 2009 20:07 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah i'm subscribing too now. gotta support the good service.

having said that it's just stopped scrobbling for some reason...

Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Sunday, 15 March 2009 20:13 (fifteen years ago) link

As I moaned on the other thread: hasn't scrobbled properly for me (or a shitload of other Mac users) for two weeks now; despite a lengthy thread on Get Satisfaction in which a Spotify chap promised us they'd worked out what the problem was, we're still waiting on the upgrade. Given that it was an (unwanted/un-asked-for/forced-upon-us) upgrade that fucked it in the first place, I've kind of gone off it a bit.

Yeh, I know, wau wau wau, whining about a service that gives me free music, etc ... ach, see the other thread for my semi-feeble justification.

Really busy at the mo' but thought I'd throw this out... feel free to add to it any music that 18 month old twins might like.

It's a great summer track! There's a good dubby Idjut Boys re-edit of it too.

I'm happy the playlist has taken off.

Mylene Cockfarmer (Raw Patrick), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:14 (fifteen years ago) link

sorry i just swamped it with new singles released this month, most of which i hadn't yet heard (deleted a couple of the real stinkers already)

Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:40 (fifteen years ago) link

The single swamping is useful to me!

Check out the Florence and the Machine version of "You Got the Love" and VV Brown version of "This Charming Man". They are both fucking awful. VV Brown also does a 15 minute reading from Marian Keyes novel "This Charming Man" wtf?

Mylene Cockfarmer (Raw Patrick), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 00:06 (fifteen years ago) link

haha weird I saw that yesterday (the VV Brown) completely coincidentally.

80s hip hop is a pretty big list to choose from possibly?

But what about Cash, Money Marvellous 'The Mighty Hard Rocker', Eric B and Rakim 'Juice (Know The Ledge)', BDP 'The Bridge Is Over', Beastie Boys 'Slow and Low', Public Enemy 'You Gonna Get Yours', LL Cool J 'Rock The Bells', KRS One 'My Philosophy'.

with 4 discs (hiphop+ragga, breakbeat+jungle, techno+trance and house+garage the sections) roughly covering the '88-'98 period

but only half of what i had in mind is on spotify (e.g. no voodoo ray ffs) so have just made up the numbers with stuff i found by some (relatively) big/important names (blame most of any glaring omissions on spotify)

PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Friday, 22 July 2011 15:26 (thirteen years ago) link

how do you make a playlist?

van ingalls wilder (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 22 July 2011 15:32 (thirteen years ago) link

several ways:

1. click "New Playlist" on the right-hand panel; rename the new playlist, then start dragging songs/albums to it
2. drag tracks/albums onto "New Playlist"; a playlist is created automatically that can be renamed

PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Friday, 22 July 2011 15:37 (thirteen years ago) link

also you right-click the playlist and make sure "Publish" is checked to make it public (although I think that might be the default anyway)

dmr, Friday, 22 July 2011 16:14 (thirteen years ago) link

That is the default AFAICT

I've created a list based on Stephin Merritt's Millenium list of 100 recordings http://1930sblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/stephin-merritts-millenium-music-list.html

It's by no means complete, no 'Anthology of American Folk Music' for example. I only picked one track where he chose an album or symphony, but if you're keen you can explore from the links. I had a bit of leeway where he just listed a song with no artist, hence Harry Nillsson representing 1909. I managed to get most years http://open.spotify.com/user/unterwasser/playlist/2v581PFKgy1HgCioJIlHtc

This Auntie Flo track is brill, the opening keyboard riff sounds naggingly familiar.

The Auntie Flo is my favourite track on a good album. Whereas the Purity Ring and Clark tracks are from albums which I'd previously dismissed as nothing special. I like it when that happens.

mike t-diva, Thursday, 30 August 2012 14:34 (twelve years ago) link

I posted a few tracks, no real pattern other than they were the first ones to come to mind. The first three came from the Stereolab Origins playlist.

Billy Dods' first track (Ane Brun) flows very well from my last track (P-Square)... on crossfade, they're pretty much beat-matched.

Enjoying this

That Chris Watson track is incredible. Knew nothing about him before; album concept sounds intriguing.

One of the original members of Cabaret Voltaire. Has been working as a sound recordist for past 30 years and has released a number of treated field recording. I think 'El Tren Fantasma' is his most successful, but they're all worth checking out. I'd love to hear a 5.1 mix of this.

I have a Spotify question. If I go into a playlist like the collaborative one Mike created and sort by time or by artist or whatever, how can I get the playlist to go back to its original order of tracks? Sorting by "Added" doesn't always get it back to the exact original order -- at least it didn't in this case.

Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:26 (twelve years ago) link

If you've clicked on (for example) "Artist" to sort, click it twice more and it should revert to the original order.

direct references of (seandalai), Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:33 (twelve years ago) link

Huh...clicking "Artist" any number of times didn't seem to work, but I clicked "User" twice and that took it back to the original order. Thanks, seandalai! (Spotify's interface could stand to be more intuitive imo.)

Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Thursday, 30 August 2012 23:41 (twelve years ago) link

Added a chunk.

Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Friday, 31 August 2012 01:04 (twelve years ago) link

pastoral mellotron soaked epic gnome and wizard shit (get bent), Friday, 31 August 2012 02:19 (twelve years ago) link

If Spotify could add a chat/salon function so that people subscribed to a playlist could chat while it played, they'd have a worthy successor to Outloud or Plug.dj

Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Friday, 31 August 2012 03:31 (twelve years ago) link

that'd make it even more of a resource hog than it already is!

Collaborative playlisting + chat is basically Soundrop, which never seemed to take off around here.

direct references of (seandalai), Friday, 31 August 2012 09:24 (twelve years ago) link

One reason Soundrop never took off with me: user-generated rooms & chat don't really work on iPhone/iPad, which is where most of my streaming happens.

Anyhow! This collaborative playlist is a goldmine. Just coming to the end of arosner's set, which is straight-up front-to-back blissfulness. (The Roches had a Jon-Anderson-soundalike moment in 1982? Who knew?)

fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 11:57 (twelve years ago) link

Full credit: I discovered Chief Kooffreh via the Guardian's Strangest Records on Spotify seres. I don't know much about the Chief, serious Wesley Willis vibes about him though. In any case "Alicia Keys and Shakira" is damn addictive.

Thanks! I also realized that you could search "label:whatever" and got some great results that way, especially for dance music (for example, label:"paper recordings" or label:!k7).

schwantz, Thursday, 13 June 2013 16:40 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah it's useful. What I'd really like is to be able to subscribe to a label and get updates whenever it puts out something new/

high inerja (seandalai), Thursday, 13 June 2013 16:44 (eleven years ago) link

Labels should maintain a playlist! For the big guys, it would be crazy-unwieldy, but for the smaller labels, it would make a ton of sense.

schwantz, Thursday, 13 June 2013 17:16 (eleven years ago) link

Also a bunch of labels seem to add releases a few weeks after they're in the shops, at which point I've forgotten that I need to look out for them.

high inerja (seandalai), Thursday, 13 June 2013 17:35 (eleven years ago) link

Now what I want out of Spotify is smart playlists, or live search lists or something, where I could store a search query as a playlist, and it would get updated whenever there were new tracks that matched my query. Could that be done with an app, maybe?

schwantz, Wednesday, 19 June 2013 15:25 (eleven years ago) link

I would love to be able to play a playlist without opening it first. I have one huge playlist that has to open and load thousands of tracks before it can play which takes about 5 minutes or more, I have to imagine there's a more efficient way for this to work.

Moka, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 23:52 (ten years ago) link

I'll keep adding some more, mainly hip hop I think which also works well for running but need to test them first.

Moka, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 23:54 (ten years ago) link

You have my attention, will try this

the other song about butts in the top 5 (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 9 October 2014 00:34 (ten years ago) link

very nice

skip, Thursday, 9 October 2014 02:59 (ten years ago) link

love that playlist moka

Treeship, Thursday, 9 October 2014 03:05 (ten years ago) link

Thanks! I tried several of those random 'workout' playlists but none of them kept a strict 120/140 bpm tempo that I need for running so I decided to just use my ipod and skip over and over again until I bumped into songs that I could actually run to... Theres over 10,000 songs in my collection so there's hours I left out but I'll keep updating.

Moka, Thursday, 9 October 2014 03:31 (ten years ago) link

Also there's some less 'modern' songs which make for excellent running mates but are not available in spotify. Off the top of my head:

Neu! - Isi (140 BPM if I'm not mistaken, also Fur Immer and Hallogallo work and around the same tempo)
Human League - Rock N Roll 7" version (135 bpm)

Moka, Thursday, 9 October 2014 03:38 (ten years ago) link

There's a particularly long hill on my bike ride home and I usually cue up the Underworld mix of Orbita -l Lush. It's a great 'journey' song and always gets me moving.

brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 9 October 2014 03:57 (ten years ago) link

That's a great one and at first peek it sounds like it's around 130 bpm?

Moka, Thursday, 9 October 2014 03:59 (ten years ago) link

Did the 120/140 today. Thanks!

GhostTunes on my Pono (Sufjan Grafton), Saturday, 11 October 2014 19:10 (ten years ago) link

three weeks pass...

I guess I'll share them all and tell you a bit about each see if any piques your interest, including the first opening acts of each playlist so you can get a better reference of what you can expect:

Bamboojazz: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/3Qu6DZBfoTOP8AF1o4h2D3
I was going for afrolatin-tinged (specially Brazilian influenced) jazz on this one.
Opening artists: Yusef Lateef, Nina Simone, Kenny Burrel, Dorothy Ashby, Laurindo Almeida.

Black Devil Disco: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/1Qb69xXYizdbuCJSWTBufi
Modern (and not so modern) disco and house. I was initially going for a playlist filled with trendy italodisco but no more.
Opening artists: Black Devil Disco, Chromatics, Newworldaquarium, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas.

Berlinette: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/3gGdcbukUvkPtkiQ1nfgLi
German minimal. I like to listen to this one while driving.
Opening artists: Christian Kleine, Zorn, Isan, Fujiya & Miyagi, Quarks.

Boombox: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/2Tn7HkvxvdIoMgSAV9YVN5
Not a very creative title. I started this for a friend who wanted some breaks for her dancing practices. I mostly use it to test soundsystems.
Opening artists: Ghislain Porter, Jimmy Edgar, Jamie Lidell, Junior Boys, Feadz.

Colette: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/2S4JDwyn1VVosCsFCasEYB
Another one for a friend. She has a clothing store and wanted a 'fashionista' sort of playlist. I went with a mix electro, new wave, punk-funk and postpunk.
Opening artists: Nash the Slash, Tevo Howard, Taxi Girl, ESG, The Fall.

CosmoBalearis: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/6NmTWLOGFx8QDm77dztrsf
This one is a huge mix of psychedelic folk, Kosmische, Balearic and Progressive rock. Lots of obscure tracks which I was surprised to find on Spotify.
Opening artists: Antenna, Barefoot Jerry, Barton Smith, Isis.

Countryfunk Swampblues: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/1A5LQOLAUa3TK6ChYLGeRw
Just as the title says. The swampy, seedy type of country and blues with a dash of funk here and there.
Opening artists: 7 Walkers, Al Green, Amos Milburn, Anthony Hamilton.

Favela Chic: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/4qmpSh4QgfFUnxVthPbGfU
I think this is my most popular playlist? It's all over the place... I guess the concept behind it is tropical party. Cumbia, Bossa, Salsa, Samba, Chicha, Reggae, latin funk.
Opening artists: Las 4 Monedas, TNT Band, Joao Donato, Ray & His Court, Los Destellos.

$0.00 Butter sauce only. No marinara. (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 6 November 2014 01:24 (ten years ago) link

There's more but I had to leave! Will post them later!

Moka, Thursday, 6 November 2014 02:04 (ten years ago) link

Ok, here's the rest!

Living Room Raverhttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/2ihkhrShinnYh4xoJDugQD
Similar to Berlinette but more pop oriented, think Morr, Monika and those sort of music labels. I usually play this sort of music when doing house chores.
Opening artists: Schlammpeitziger, Young Marble Giants, Other's People Children, Stereolab, Machine Translations.

Lunar Baedeker and Time Tableshttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/5uxIDEAndW1f3mx5OA4w6j
This one isn't as neatly organized as I want to but it still functions as a playlist. The idea is to have solo piano pieces sandwiched between classical music, but I still need to work the mood here and there. Treat this one as an early sketch.
Opening artists: Aphex Twin, Radicalfashion, Glass & Uakti, Gonzales, Anouar Brahem.

Dustygrooves and Soulsideshttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/141o0XFGQFp8sUftzTss18
Some of my favorite funk and soul songs. I need to update it, there's many songs I want to add but I always get lazy. Will clean and update some time in the following weeks.
Opening artists: Little Ann, The Five Stairsteps, Sugar Pie de Santo, Mayer Hawthorne, Lou Bond.

Graduation Goggles (circa '98)http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/6fmrfm7pBhau6Z059QR1xn
This is a personal playlist, some of these make me feel ashamed since I like them by mere nostalgia and I can't be sincere on their quality.... this is comprised of music from mixtapes I had from 1998-2000 when I was 13-15 years old (and similar sounding music from other years that fits in here and 15 year old me would have loved).
Opening artists: Modest Mouse, From Bubblegum to Sky, Guided by Voices, the Aislers Set, Sparklehorse.

In A Beautiful Place Out in the Countryhttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/7KwlC2e6gjmlZeGRGYsCci
This is for a friend who loves Boards of Canada and wanted me to pass some similar sounding artists and copycats.
Opening artists: Ten and Tracer, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Rykard, Bibio, Miles Tilmann.

KodoVeranohttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/0djbUjaP9EMLypTY5WBVSB
Similar to CosmoBalearis but pop orientated. Lots of 'Balearica' and Soft Psychedelia. Personally speaking, I relate it strongly to the summer I lived in Barcelona, so again I'm not sure how well it holds without the memories attached. I think it's an awesome summer playlist but some of you might hate it.
Opening artists: Tony Joe White, Air France, Honey is Cool, Mock & Toof, Fritz Kalkbrenner.

My Blood is Clean: Fuck Your Zen Gardenhttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/3eYcY3hV3uBAPO7WstyGz7
Psychedelic Folk, African folk, Gamelan, Ambient, Minimalism. This is a really old playlist so I can't quite remember what was the idea behind it... it's my response to meditative and new age music, I guess. Lots of beautiful songs in here when you're in the mood. Need to update.
Opening artists: Stella Chiweshe, David Darling and the Wulu Bunun, Scott Tuma, Gojogo, Arvo Part.

Premiers Symptomeshttp://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/25TbWdFJNXYsuXLm14MwLk
I guess this is my idea of romantic music. Smokey, melancholic, the right amount of schmaltzy. Its heartbroken music half of the time so don't expect it to work for the sexy times, they might work if you're looking for a noir setting, though.
Opening artists: Conjoint, Deus, Patrick Watson, Hope Sandoval, The Box Tops.

I'm missing a couple but I have to leave :/

Moka, Thursday, 6 November 2014 23:15 (ten years ago) link

Free Me's Electric Trumpet (Moodles), Saturday, 8 November 2014 16:38 (ten years ago) link

Thank you! I never get any feedback on these so if there's something you'd recommend me to add or remove in any of these I'll be happy to hear it.

Moka, Saturday, 8 November 2014 17:42 (ten years ago) link

I've been listening to the cosmobalearic one and loving it, bravo Moka!

badg, Saturday, 8 November 2014 22:47 (ten years ago) link

A while ago, I noticed that there were no old-fashioned gospel playlists, so I made one because I love this stuff.

my wife wants a 90s hip hop playlist for working out - she specifically mentioned bones thugs-n-harmony as a band she wants represented. do any of u music aficionados have a good playlist i could give her? or maybe alternatively a great online list that i could make a playlist from? i found one 90s hip hop playlist online but she hated it + i'm not savvy enough in the genre to create it myself...

New playlist:

The Art School Jukebox: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/0SeMXr6fQ5iuJbKyZejfO2
Sort of a joke playlist. This is the sort of music that I imagine art students listen to impress their peers. It's 50 tracks long so far and even though it's a joke playlist it has some nice variations and I actually enjoy everything in here. It's not incredibly odd or pretentious, you can even play some of these at parties.
Opening artists: Art Ensemble of Chicago, Slapp Happy, Captain Beefheart, the Flying Lizards, Francis Bebey.

Moka, Thursday, 8 January 2015 01:01 (nine years ago) link

I listened to Moka's Dustygrooves and Soulsides and really enjoyed it! It is hard to find good soul mixes on Spotify. Good selections!!

Thank you! that one looks very interesting, several songs I don't think I've heard before. i'm going to listen and steal some of them for my playlist! >:)

Moka, Monday, 12 January 2015 18:28 (nine years ago) link

This is one of the playlists I have since 2011 or so but I hadn't shared it because it's based around rocksteady/ska/reggae/dub and it's a whole wild world in there so I admit I have only minimal grasp of it. Even Spotify is intimidated by the size of it, it doesn't have half the music in my collection. Anyhow, there's some of my favorite songs in here, it doesn't really work as a mix so you can listen to it at random in small doses:

Kaya Kinks: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/0nObX3nMjV8X8vTUuNoGfx
Opening artists: Marcia Griffiths, Skatalites, Joe Gibbs & the Professionals, Max Romeo, Toots, Morgan Heritage, Byron Lee.

For some reason, I get nostalgic for high school days on Friday afternoons. Here is a playlist I made that makes me feel young and fresh again. I would love to put some reggae on it too, but I owned no reggae back then, although I did love it. Any reggae suggestions that would go with a combination of new wave pop and 80's r&b would be welcome:

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.

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).

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.

pplains, Tuesday, 29 March 2016 19:33 (eight years ago) link

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

seven months pass...

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.

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"

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.

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.

¶ (DJP), Wednesday, 14 December 2016 23:03 (eight years ago) link

this is a really special play list I put together that's very personal. it's 200 songs, placed in roughly chronological order, that have had some major impact on me and my life and the way I perceive music, from the first song I ever remember hearing (O Superman) to the last song that really struck me as special. As such I feel like it's a rough guide to me as a music listener, or a kind of musical DNA code of some sort.
Putting it together took a lot of thought and consideration. I had to think back through my life and really concentrate on who I was and what I was feeling at age 11, 16, 22, 29 etc... I decided to stop at 200 songs because I only wanted the best and was wary of making arbitrary choices. Of course the selection process is filtered through my current worldview, meaning it's not entirely honest. There was probably a load of uncool, embarrassing shit that I really loved back in the day that I'd rather forget about. Still that's the way the cookie crumbles.

was thinking of maybe polling these for fun at some point, or diarising them in a blog. till then, I'll just leave this here

one month passes...

so when i'm playing my video game on the ps4 i will just pick some random playlist to listen to. i will try to find ones with tons of songs and ones that aren't like 8 tracks from the same album one after the other and i usually always listen to bass/electronic/house/techno/rap because electronic stuff just sounds the best in the canned airless universe that is spotify. perlon and kompakt stuff is tops on there.

anyway, is there a name for the phenomena where long seemingly random playlists of genre stuff all start to sound....not the same...but weirdly okay even if its stuff you wouldn't buy/listen to on your own or even if its stuff you thought you didn't like? maybe that makes no sense. i think i remember this when cable t.v. started adding tons of genre digital radio stations. and maybe it is the effect of compressed digital streaming or something. i was listening to a 700 song rap playlist last night and it all sounded fine whether it was classic stuff or stuff i have liked for years or stuff i'd never heard or stuff i just don't need a lot of. nas and biggie and mobb deep and big noyd and 50 cent and paris and xzibit were playing and it didn't really matter who it was it all blended together and so much of really doesn't blend together in any other setting. it was't wallpaper or muzak...but just there. nothing popped out. even D12 sounded fine next to a tribe called quest and i don't really go out of my way to listen to D12. it all ended up feeling like its on the same level.

i don't know. maybe i'm crazy. or maybe i don't listen to really well-made mixes/playlists. i just get this flattening feeling. i guess its the same as that satellite radio feeling.

scott seward, Monday, 24 April 2017 19:47 (seven years ago) link

there are algorithms that rate specific qualities of sound, bpm, dynamics, etc to create similarity rankings among songs. it's possible that playlist is the result of using one of those.

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 25 April 2017 12:55 (seven years ago) link

that must be it. i listened to a microhouse playlist last night where everything sounded pretty distinct - within the confines of spotify sound - and different tracks did stand out, etc.

i am not a long-time user of the service...

scott seward, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 14:56 (seven years ago) link

I am happy to take algorithmic credit for this.

(But it's pretty unlikely that's the explanation. The acoustic analysis is usually much better at eliminating acoustic outliers than it is at producing subjective consistency. And unless the playlist is personalized or one of mine like The Sound/Pulse/Edge of X, it was probably just made by a person anyway.)

glenn mcdonald, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 15:22 (seven years ago) link

Hi Glenn, I have a nitpicky Spotify issue that you might be able to address. For no discernible reason, the discography of Magma (the 70s prog one) is divided into two separate artist pages, both called "Magma." This seems like it should be pretty easy to consolidate into one page, yes? A similar issue exists for Sun Ra with his various Arkestras, though that situation is better than it used to be.

anyway, is there a name for the phenomena where long seemingly random playlists of genre stuff all start to sound....not the same...but weirdly okay even if its stuff you wouldn't buy/listen to on your own or even if its stuff you thought you didn't like?

i think this is how most people listen to music. last year i was a couple nights into an annual float trip with my high school buddies in MO. per tradition, we went to one of those post-apocalyptic campsites by a river where there are dozens of separate groups, some families, some loud teenz, unpaid budweiser endorsers who connected their pickup trucks, rear bumper to rear bumper, so they could put a ping pong table up on the combined beds. it was no use trying to sleep until the campsite calmed down around 2-3am, so lots of people just drunkenly stumbled from one group of cars and tents to another. some real hunter s thompson shit. anyway, i don't know why i'm bringing all that up except that in those situations, touring lots of different social groups, most of whom were blasting music...i don't know where i'm going with this, sorry. i think at some point i was going to pivot back to our own campsite, where even 3/4 out of our minds on various substances we were carefully curating the upcoming tracks on our playlist, and how unusual and wrong it seemed. i don't know. there are plenty of people who feel an urgent need to control the stereo on a road trip, or will let the imperfect soundtrack to a house party ruin their evening. but for the most part, i think people are just happy to hear randomly selected tracks from a genre they know decently well enough to recognize a song every once in a while.

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 25 April 2017 16:48 (seven years ago) link

It's easy to get all pop-Frederic Jameson but there must be some sort of reification of the flattening of affect with regards to streaming - both in terms of tonal quality and, concomitantly, emotional response. Like, equalisation automatically flattens everything to some degree, but shuffling also always seems to cause everything to blend together. It's like blancmange. I get a kind of shuffle-fatigue from it

i get ear-fatigue. and sonic claustrophobia. i can only take an hour or two max of spotify. which is also what happened to me with digital radio years ago. but doesn't happen to me with youtube for some reason. maybe the wildly different sound sources of youtube have something to do with that. i have no idea.

" maybe the wildly different sound sources of youtube have something to do with that. i have no idea"

I suspect it's something to do with this, plus the use of YouTube is so much more, I don't know, kinetic (by degrees, of course). There's something too seamless about Spotify, something that encourages the kind of claustrophobia you mention.

I like Karl's story, and kind of wish I was there. My more suburban, middle-class version of that is how dinner parties (not as poncey as that sounds, hopefully) and how playlist curation has become something like a parlour game, where the selecting of the song is everything, and where the listening comes a distant second.

niels, Wednesday, 26 April 2017 10:20 (seven years ago) link

rather than carefully constructing playlists, I like to take the approach of designing my own personal radio station. I like to have very large playlists filled with a lot of full albums. I'm pretty liberal about throwing stuff that seems interesting onto a playlist, rather than trying to find the perfect song or set of songs. This allows me to throw a playlist on shuffle and be constantly surprised by what comes up. If there are things I notice I'm consistently skipping, I remove them.

Album by album, artist by artist, decade by decade I slowly deleted all filler tracks and/or songs I just didn't like. II created a library of folders and broke them up by decade, genre, and artist. When Spotify allowed you to shuffle folders this made for a bunch of great radio-like playlists. The all-genres decade playlists I thought were especially great because they jumped around so much they felt like the radio but were more interesting than your typical algorithm-generated Pandora station. And, to my ears, the flow was strong because it was just curated enough as to be better than mere discography dumps. No sax solos, no skits, no weird studio outtakes or rando live bonus tracks.

Then Spotify killed the folder functionality which ruined the ease of my system. But lemons, lemonade: I made giant playlists so I could still shuffle, which means they are now shareable. Here are the first three:

1960s
1970s
1980s

These are all massive playlists - 3,000-4,000 songs. And they'll continue to grow. There are probably some glaring omissions in each (either due to my dislike or I just haven't gotten through them yet). But as they are I think they're still a nice "radio" alternative if you're so inclined. I'll share the later decades once I've finished making them.

Looking forward to checking these out.

You can still shuffle folders from the desktop app. I start up my big folder on desktop then switch to phone. A bit of a pain, but works.

Moodles, Sunday, 11 June 2017 23:04 (seven years ago) link

Yeah but I only use desktop at work, unfortunately. So that won't work for home/commute.

ministry of sound sued spotify over playlists that mimicked their comps and settled out of court.. so unless the label themselves make the playlist i'd expect you won't see them

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 25 July 2017 16:56 (seven years ago) link

but does that mean you can own the idea of a playlist and its contents? that is kiiiinda weird

I know a lot of work went into constructing compilations, but, well, not anymore! Also I'd imagine labels and artist still get payed if "copycat" playlists are played, but perhaps ministry of sound didn't own the tracks they were distributing outside of that specific compilation context?

niels, Tuesday, 25 July 2017 18:03 (seven years ago) link

This almost goes back to that crazy argument mattresslessness tried to put make, that ILXors have no right to pillage ILX lists for Spotify use.

Are you cool with forks making Spotify playlists out of every rolling thread without permission?

Trϵϵship, Monday, 24 September 2018 17:36 (six years ago) link

This headline is wildly misleading. No data is shared between Ancestry and Spotify, and nothing here does anything with anybody's DNA. Somebody wrote a web thing that lets you manually pick a set of nominal genetic-origin regions (you can pick 1-5 of them from a list of 30-ish), and then blends together song-pools from each of them to make a playlist you can save to your Spotify account. I have no idea where the pools of songs came from, but you can see what's in them pretty easily by picking a single region at a time. They seem to be random collections of artists who are nominally "from" that region, but that includes, e.g., Neneh Cherry as "Sweden".

So while you could reasonably contend that this thing is stupid, I think it's not actually creepy.

It's ambient in spirit but not necessarily in genre. Mostly instrumental and droney. It's meant to be listened to as background music, starting arbitrarily from any track. Right now it's 1,045 tracks (not sure whether that includes all the tracks that have been made unavailable in this country since I added them) and about 109.5 hours long, but I'm going to keep adding to it.

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).

eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Thursday, 5 December 2019 16:05 (five years ago) link

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.

So, one of my bars called 'Voodoo' has djs and live acts on the weekend, but we also have two revolving Spotify playlists + a huge, local files Itunes playlist. We use them on downtime and on weekdays. We use a 'day playlist' from 2pm - 7pm and a 'night playlist' from 7pm until 2am. I sometimes use theSE on house parties too, as they have a little bit of everything and work well as background music.

(See if you can pick out where I went through treatment for addiction!)

handsome boy modelling software (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 22 April 2020 10:22 (four years ago) link

Also just as a side note, can I say how profoundly unimpressed I am with Spotify's trash-tier user interface? Is there really no way to reorder or remove songs I've added to my "Now Playing" queue? No way to add an entire album or playlist to the queue? This is incredibly basic functionality that Apple had 15 years ago on a piece of hardware with five buttons, and I can only assume Spotify have deliberately left it out to make their own curated playlists and fake 'radio' service more appealing.

handsome boy modelling software (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 22 April 2020 10:33 (four years ago) link

in the desktop app you can drag sounds around the queue and add albums from the three dots button at the top, not playlists though.

I haven't been very much active in the playlist making. This is the only new one I've made and the one I'm listening to the most:

Quarantine Summer Mix:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Ekk8UJl2YvzAWphF4d0NS?si=onCZ_TrSQpa4Tt17oFNGlw

It's mostly deep house + hip house + downtempo and a dash of what I suppose could be considered indie pop. It's a 'chill' sort of playlist if you will, I guess it's the sort of music that generates me the less anxiety on this quarantine.

Yé-yé et Retro Chic
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7eMG6GtxYxF0XPPmnAahzc?si=HWy3FIYdTZ6lPJHdHemkbw

I've also been listening to this one a lot, mostly in the mornings. It was originally made for a friend back in 2016 who wanted some recommendations on a french yeye + retro chic sort of mood and it was set to private ever since. I guess it needs a bit of polish here and there but it's a fun listen.

Made a U.F.O. playlist. I’d welcome suggestions for things to add. Must have “UFO” or similar in the title but doesn’t necessarily have to be about Unidentified Flying Objects.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7d35b1JaednMFdzT1KQKPo?si=hPiOexGkRVmWRoxIn9hR0g

(The Boy Azooga track is a cover of Jim Sullivan’s “UFO” so the latter is already on there in spirit)

Thinking of making a parallel playlist of songs where UFO doesn’t feature in the title but are nonetheless about flying saucers, alien contact and so on. Things like Klaatu, the ‘Close Encounters’ theme, Hot Chocolate’s ‘No doubt about it’ etc. So feel free to suggest things in that line too.

Thanks!

two weeks pass...

So a few of you may already know, but I used to run a fairly popular mp3 blog called Motel de Moka from 2005 to 2015. We were a bunch of people from all 5 major continents sharing 5-10 tracks every week or so in playlist form and when soundcloud and spotify et al started to get big, the mp3 blog era lost its purpose and we called it quits.

Anyhow, I've been revisiting the archives and making backups and have re-discovered some great songs in there.

Amongst our frequent contributors we had Andras Fox. Andras is a producer from Melbourne and he's perhaps the biggest name to ever post in there. In case you don't know him you can find his work as Andras Fox / Andras, he makes awesome balearic/house/electronica music and has exquisite taste so I had to make a spotify playlist with every song he ever shared on motel de moka. It's notable to me that he was in his early 20's when he posted these tracks because his taste was already very cool and defined and you can see how it influenced his own music.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3SuZNeTTt0TGoTYXmH4wSw

I'm still revising the archives and I'm currently in the year 2010 so I'm still adding tracks in there but there's plenty of gems in there already.

Jamie: thanks for those! Already following.

Also thanks for the kind words. I have the intention to either do one for each member who contributed there or a general playlist. I started with Andras - might be the only one I separate at all - because I think he’s the one contributor who might be of interest to people who never heard of MdM and he only posted 100+ tracks on his time there so it’s easier for me to finish that one quickly.

I actually started a general playlist months ago - currently set to private because it’s still a work in progress and I don’t think I’ve compiled anything near 20% of every song posted in there:

Specific Ocean Blue (dog latin), Friday, 18 December 2020 09:15 (four years ago) link

Thank you! I'm still updating the main list and will probably never end. I'm sad that several unofficial edits/remixes/covers/mashups(!) that we posted and will probably never be available on any streaming platform. They're one of those unique features of mp3 blogs that I miss a lot.

We knew we would never compete in the quality of write-ups that mp3 blogs like say Moistworks, Shake Your First or Said the Gramophone had. Compared to other mp3 blogs we weren't interested on keeping a finger on the pulse, but we also weren't interested in covering exclusively obscure albums from the 70's. But we made up on variety.

Looking back and listening in these past days I have to say I'm impressed of how much ground we covered. It helps that we had so many diverse tastes and nationalities posting in there. We were certainly messy and unfocused, but that was what made us popular in the first place. You never knew what you were getting from one post to another. You could get Cambodian rock one day, chilean freak folk the next day and maybe some acoustic chillout playlist the next one. As someone who listened to every song posted in there I have to say it was very formative and somewhat addictive.

in a bar, under the (seandalai), Thursday, 27 May 2021 09:46 (three years ago) link

Cool selection! I’d recommend the themes from the two biggest mexican tv shows for kids in the late 70’s: Burbujas and Carabina de Ambrosio. The former has a really fun soundtrack composed by Esquivel - popular for inventing the space age lounge genre in the 50s/60s - and the later comes from a segment of a cosmic disco song... might be cheating because I think the original artist is from France but noone in France knows this song and everyone in Mexico does. There was a remix of it in the early 00s which was really popular in Mexican nightclubs but no idea who was the artist behind that one.

Idley composing this playlist of music fits in with this mini-revival of '95-'05 'beats'n'guitars'/"gothy big beat"/eye-liner pop thing as exemplified by the recent CFCF album and also the new CHVRCHES/Robert Smith collab.

A few months back a friend of mine was making a road trip to Tucson and asked for something to listen to. So I started tossing together a vaguely alt-country kinda mix (mostly coinciding with what I listened to when I lived in Arizona in the mid/late 90s). For the purpose of a long car ride I leaned toward more upbeat tracks - none of the sad/forlorn stuff. Then my wife told me to throw in more old country (like 50s-70s), and then from there I just started adding whatever fit this vibe. The result is a mix of 100+ songs that I never would have thought to put together but has turned out to be my go-to mix whenever I just need some good stuff on in the car or while I'm making dinner etc. It's not ordered - ideally shuffled.

*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.

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

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:

this is the year i gave up and became a spotify user. part of me doesn't feel good about it. the other part is elated to be able to make playlists like this one, which recreates the radio station my high school besties and i used to listen to. to me it evokes a time of waiting for a song i liked to come on so i could tape it, of sitting in my room for hours on end and calling in to win free tapes and CDs as much as humanly possible.

we all participated in making it and frankly it's one of the highlights of my truly abysmal year. a micro-highlight was one day when i remembered the lyric "I'll cross that bridge when I get to it" and googled until i found out what the song was, after 30+ years. i truly dislike many of these songs but it effectively recreates the experience of listening to the station and that brings me joy.

the station was operated by the local public school district but behaved more like a college station and drew from those charts. our playlist represents the time we listened to it, roughly 88-93. back in the last century lol.

Glad you’re enjoying! It’s so evocative for me that I choose when to listen to it strategically. I love that I have the same zing feeling when a song i like comes on.

They used to have “mini concerts” aka blocks of songs by one artist and I lived for the day they did the Replacements one. When I hear Sixteen Blue in this context, alongside a random assortment of songs I heard contemporaneously, I can hear it through the ears of young me again. It’s a delight!

Buncha pop sounds from the turn of the 80s that may not have seemed similar at the time, but suddenly felt very similar to me this weekend. Commonalties? Crisp production, bass forward for the time, coked up tempos?

Here's one I've been slowly adding to over the last couple of years and really enjoy. Starting with cool West Coast jazz and then gradually moving out into other territories, it's a lovely mellow listen:

Nice, I've just been through it a bit and pruned it as some things weren't quite working. It's one of my faves though

I have a whole bunch of mood and ambient playlists I've compiled over the years. Here's my latest. It's vaguely themed around that drowsy hermetic feeling of being caught somewhere between a late night hotel room and a telephone dialtone

Riding Bus X82: 100 Reggae & Dub Classics - a Club Stoic playlist
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1iA8wyuT1S7MeNc5N96JBv?si=0f9df65709984285

Blurb:
I've been listening to dub and reggae since my late teens, so picking 100 favourite tracks for this playlist was no mean feat. Reggae is such a wide, wide church, with a history as long and illustrious as rock music.

Since the early days of ska, through rocksteady, roots, dub and dancehall, Jamaican music has evolved in countless different ways and permutations. The fact that this relatively small country can have had so many effects upon the world is remarkable.

There are extremely strong arguments to say that Lee "Scratch" Perry and King Tubby have had a bigger hand in influencing the music we hear on dancefloors and on the radio than any other producers. And also to say that Bob Marley was one of the most important and influential rockstars of all time based on his public profile and the quality of his music.

So, in the spirit of those excellent 100% Dynamite compilations from Soul Jazz that initially got me into Jamaican and Caribbean music, here are 100 songs in no specific order, which I feel represent the genre of reggae and the cream of the crop.

There are a lot of obvious songs missing, but in the interests of editing I decided to prize remarkable but lesser-known tunes above over-worn faves.

This one's a bit of a WIP but it's going for a vibe that's like drifting in and out of consciousness as you wait on the phone in a hermetically sealed hotel room in a futuristic city. Further suggestions welcome

S E A L - a Club Stoic playlist

I banged on on another thread about music with a particular drifting quality - things that fall on a downtempo, wombic, skittery spectrum; things that work with train travel or walking through an urban environment at dusk.

Anyway, I've collected things as I've gone and here's the playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4VO2Z3hA2cGO41LGZpE9Jo?si=3hVNhkfpRACxOZDuBzV5qQ

Very much open to suggestions.
