and creepy
― Trϵϵship, Monday, 24 September 2018 17:36 (five 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.

I can think of no worse playlist than one made up exclusively of my forefathers.
Unless it's Led Zeppelin impersonating people who weren't my forefathers.

I've been trying to whittle down and fine tune this playlist of essential afro-pop, afro-beats and afro-dance for a while now and it still extends beyond 4hrs. Best listened to linearly, it dots about all over space, time and style, but I was concentrating on mood, a bit like if I was constructing a DJ mix. Some absolute bangers on here by the way - really love so much about it.

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.

MTV's 120 minutes*
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 14 November 2018 20:47 (five years ago) link
Neat, I should check those out. 1988 120 Minutes had a particularly huge impact on my musical tastes. Just scrolling through that list I can remember the specific episodes I taped on VHS and watched over and over.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 14 November 2018 22:24 (five years ago) link
The first playlist I made when I signed up for Spotify was the result of a brain dump of all of the 120 Minutes music I could think of. Did not even come close to the amount of music on these. Thanks for sharing.
I made a small one recently of all of the songs covered by Replicants on their 1996 self-titled release.

Here's what have turned out to be my most popular Spotify playlists.This is an wide-ranging introduction to Greek music with lots of rebetiko, epirotika, nisiotika and demotika.Here are 8 hours of songs cut at American Studios in Memphis, TN between 66 - 73, mostly with either Chips Moman or Tommy Cogbill behind the board. Lots of southern soul, Dusty, Box Tops, Elvis....Here are two and a half days worth of Soul Music tracks from the early 70s.

cheers, been soundtrack ing my day today and I'm pleased with the 'narrative flow'. starts off a bit atmospheric, goes into a sort of toy town balearic vibe before going down a darker hauntological route and then out again via pleasing tango and fusion. it's weird but it works.

Cheers. Playlist is admittedly a bit all-over-the-map 'fourth world music traveller' but it's keeping me happy.
