Anyone out there fancy helping out by volunteering to do Spotify playlists for Albums and Tracks?

please?

Voting should be ready to start tomorrow so get those shortlists ready

i do not want to do a spotify anything because i'm not really a spotify kind of person. but this is a good song:

NOMEANSNO - THE TOWER
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1ujT8ZYbOQ

I already have a Spotify playlist for my own tracks, and I might be able to flesh that out into a full listing, but not before the weekend. I'll give it a shot (have some irl issues going on atm). btw, do you want the Spotify playlist links in this YouTube ghetto, or in the voting thread?

voting thread (or both)

thanks!

Anyone up for doing the albums spotify playlist?

how would a spotify playlist of 500+ albums be any more useful than spotify itself?

because in previous polls it has shown that most people cba searching for albums and just listen to new order instead. But if the albums are in one place they will give it a listen inbetween new order albums.

Lol, that's what happens when I post without listening first. When I nominated "Dick Dogs", I was thinking of the version on Seize the Rainbow, having never heard this recording. This one's not bad though. Better drums on the StR version.

IN MEMORIAM

two great fucking all-time BADASS aussie rock tunes that i nominated for the tracks poll but were tragically omitted from the voting spreadsheet:

LIME SPIDERS - OUT OF CONTROL (would have been in my top 10)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q6IwMXJK0M
hi-def, crank it

COSMIC PSYCHOS - LOST CAUSE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaR_EVo3Gao
L7 rewrote it as "fuel my fire", as covered by the prodigy on the fat of the land. dumbass original is untouchable tho.

tracks you can actually vote for:

SCRATCH ACID - FLYING HOUSES
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5NU9yVzrzk
shit directly in my trouses

indefensible, misogynist trash that no one should consider listening to a thousand time in a row while driving way too fast:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0SmlVuMou0

prob too retro for ILM, but builds up a pretty impressive head of steam:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i0oDZV8XOg

remember to stan for tracks/albums on the voting thread where more will read it. Boostering does work!

Thanks for the Skullfower clip, Hellhouse! I always suspected I was missing something by never really listening to them.

glad you like it. the early records - Form Destroyer, Xaman, IIIrd Gatekeeper, Obsidian Shaking Codex and Last Shot at Heaven - are by far the best. after Last Shot at Heaven, they jettisoned most of the rock elements and tumbled into the bottomless pit of artistic onanism known as "free noise". the first three records in particular feature some of the best heavy psych I've ever heard, and are absolutely worth tracking down.

IIIrd Gatekeeper is amazing

I agree. IIIrd Gatekeeper and Last Shot at Heaven are both available on iTunes, too.

Spacemen 3: OD Catastrophe:

THE FLUID - YOUR KINDA THING
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sldl_HQwCpU

have to admit that i'm somewhat embarrassed to be repping this. embarassed by the the relatively soft retro-rocking, still more embarrassed by the he-man heybaby vocals. probably should have nominated "cold outside" instead, as it's a little easier to defend, but goddam it, i like this song. so there.
