Title: Spotify Playlists
Post by: Tyler on February 25, 2009, 03:39:43 pm: For those that don’t know www.spotify.com is an online jukebox that allows people to share playlists. I’m not sure which countries it works in besides Sweden and the UK but I guess we will find out.

As I spend quite a bit of time at work listening to so I want your imba playlists!

Not that I have OCD or anything but I use a couple of rules when setting up my playlists. I create two main types of playlist, single artist and multi artist. Neither should not be over 80 minutes long and the multi artist ones never have the same artist twice.

Here are a couple of examples Turin Brakes (http://open.spotify.com/user/drigby2000/playlist/3GjfdATprXkFJ7gMMjq2cw) and Hits 2008 II (http://open.spotify.com/user/drigby2000/playlist/5XwDqDMQc19JBEG0zXDJIF).

So give!

Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 04:08:51 pm: OK OK! I'm registering now, at long last.

I'm sure it stopped me from registering last time I tried...

Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 04:11:09 pm: zomg, it looks like itunes.
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 04:14:17 pm: Oh, that's pretty neat...!

OK, I'll have to make some playlists, but you probably won't like them -- but you'll give them a whirl, right? :)
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 04:18:05 pm: Wow, Velvet Underground sound just like Razorlight. Actually, it's like Razorlight just ripped off this song entirely.

Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 05:02:59 pm: OK, this is 'Musical Combos' (with a focus on strong orchestral themes):

http://open.spotify.com/user/mrsebastian/playlist/1ombCs5ChzaRN3TLtJKCkA

The 'flow' is fairly good, though as you're switching from musical to musical, it's more like a rollercoaster that goes up and down a lot :)

Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 05:29:57 pm: And a Jazz/Soul one (basically, Miles Davis & Gil Evans, with a huge lump of Marvin Gaye in the middle):

Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 05:43:14 pm: It needs a way to comment on songs...

Never heard this song by Elton John before, Tyl -- it's cool :)
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: Vorte on June 12, 2009, 05:46:59 pm: Anyone got a spare invitation?

I could buy it with gold..
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: Tyler on June 12, 2009, 05:55:11 pm: That second playlist is more to my taste Dell. Kind of Blue is one of my favourite albums ever, I also really like Sketches of Spain.

I have been meaning to try Marvin Gaye out though as I like a fair bit of soul (Al Green, Aretha Franklin etc). So this will be a good place to start.

Vorte I can invite you, post or pm me your email address.

Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 06:10:42 pm: Yea, Kind of Blue is lovely :)

The rest of Out of the Cool is great also. A lot of the jazz albums that I have aren't on Spotify (I guess because the jazz guys were just so damn prolific...)

What's Going On is quite different from the rest of Gaye's stuff -- the rest is still quite 'R&B Sex God' kind of thing. What's Going On is often considered one of the best albums of all time, tho'.

Will check out Sketches of Spain!
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 06:12:25 pm: You might want to check out the 'Kind of Blue / Porgy & Bess / Sketches of Spain' album on Spotify -- Porgy & Bess is a good intro to musicals and light operetta... and performed by Miles Davis! YEAH!
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: Tyler on June 12, 2009, 06:40:20 pm: You can link directly to albums too Dell. Here is another awesome Miles Davis one, In A Silent Way (http://open.spotify.com/album/6iTTE1lkKdvZSpkiMYb2Xm).
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 06:53:19 pm: Cool :)

Just building up to the second crescendo in Sketches of Spain at the moment.

My grandmother used to watch him live regularly... And Ella Fizgerald and Sammy Davis Jr...

Damn her.
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on June 12, 2009, 07:14:16 pm: Hah, the last track is the best. It's like some kind of... space odyssey.

Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on June 16, 2009, 04:20:46 pm: This album of Marvin Gaye's is even more jazzy than What's Going On:

http://open.spotify.com/album/6EmPqDm8w7Yv8AEpBdj3q5 -- Let's Get It On (with the title track being the song that we all know and love). Listen through the first 8 tracks, which is the original album release.

Track 9 is a delicious instrumental jazzy/soul number. The rest is OK, worth a listen if you want to get to know his music a bit better I guess :)
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: Tyler on July 03, 2009, 12:14:23 am: Here are some more!

This is what i was listening to when I was your age 1990s (http://open.spotify.com/user/drigby2000/playlist/31vkjHaYfYPdLfxBG0XlMb).

Ok so you have aged a little, it was more like this 2000s (http://open.spotify.com/user/drigby2000/playlist/5ZB7r12wNIAyx0QR6Qbw63).

Some idiot was dissing Prince on this forum! Cop your ears around this no ballads included (http://open.spotify.com/user/drigby2000/playlist/6dEaIpCHUfeD8bXDu8LmLJ).

If Prince is a bit too cheerful for you try Radiohead (http://open.spotify.com/user/drigby2000/playlist/4bfI5bc78ePKFH1xsVDaCa).

And finally here is my latest random playlist (http://open.spotify.com/user/drigby2000/playlist/0QzbAupYubBYs3CU86cKSc).

Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on April 21, 2010, 01:32:41 am: The 'Talk' playlist is fantastic, Tyler :)

Struck a chord -- I had a very nice holiday in Andalucia many years ago...
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on April 21, 2010, 02:48:17 pm: 'Shook' is good too -- but I prefer the other!

Incidentally, I think my mother went out with Ian Dury, or his brother... something like that. Way back.
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on April 21, 2010, 04:58:46 pm: 'Chad' is great.

I've only just started listening to Curtis Mayfield... and then a track of his shows up in your playlist! I love 'Miss Black America'.

Post by: Sterk on April 21, 2010, 07:48:41 pm: I got 3 more days until my Spotify Premium runs out, and 2 invites to toss away before it does, throw me a PM if you want one.
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: Tyler on April 21, 2010, 11:23:07 pm: Glad you are enjoying them Dell :) I look forward to hearing one of yours.

Black Hearted is my current fave. The Nick Cave song "Nature Boy" is awesome.
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on April 22, 2010, 12:25:06 pm: I don't have wide-enough tastes (or knowledge of music) to compile a playlist of your calibre though, damnit! Will try...

Post by: delling on April 23, 2010, 05:55:30 pm: Here ya go, Tyler (and everyone else).

Still, got a couple that I've made this year:

Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: delling on December 25, 2010, 11:46:23 pm: I got all excited at the Classical one... and then find out it's just a bunch of 'The best Classical songs EVER!!!' albums stuck together.
Title: Re: Spotify Playlists
Post by: Decay on December 26, 2010, 07:56:26 am: Well, yeah... Have to admit that I'm very mainstream when it comes to classical music, but doesn't make it any less enjoyable for me.

Besides, they are 'The best of' for a reason, I haven't bothered finding the good non-mainstream ones. Since I have no means of finding them other than by listening to them, and why not start from the generally accepted 'top'.

The same goes for the Jazz playlist. But not for the mixed one, I think I can justify every single song I've selected for that list.
