ILM Top 100 Tracks of the 70s (includes a few inferior alternative versions of songs inc. 'More More More' because the originals aren't there, and a couple of replacements for songs not on there at all) - and sorry it's ordered topdown

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...

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.
They usually get played Woody & Leadbelly, trad R&R, doo-wop (especially!), and the boy gets terribly excited jumping up and down to that Come on "Baby, Let's Go Down Town" song on Tonight's the Night!

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.

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?

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

Properly or just intermittently? I could get it to work occasionally but it'd usually die again halfway through an album.

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'.

ages ago I tried compiling a Dance equivalent of this:
Brit Box UK IndieThe Brit Box UK Indie Box Set...
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)

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?
