How has Spotify decided to compartmentalise your music taste for you?
I’ve got to say, mine’s doing a pretty good job at the moment despite the fact there’s pretty much no contemporary music;
#1 Brazilian 60s & 70s (Jorge Ben, Caetano Veloso, Tim Maia, Os Brazoes) #2 Hip Hop (MF Doom, J Dilla, Digable Planets, Freddie Gibbs) #3 Funk & Soul (Sly & the Family Stone, Funkadelic, Curtis Mayfield, Roy Ayers) #4 Post Punk / Alt Rock (Pixies, Wire, B-52s, Devo) #5 Mostly 80s (Bowie, Kraftwerk, Tears for Fears, Pet Shop Boys) #6 Folk (John Martyn, Bert Jansch, Shirley Collins, Trees)
#1 Turnstile, Dangerface, Drug Church and more (I have no idea who Dangerface are) #2 The Blood Brothers, The Armed, '68 and more #3 Shook Ones, Brand New, Far and more #4 The Distillers, Strung Out, The Vandals and more (don’t recall ever listening to Strung Out) #5 The Smashing Pumpkins, Tomahawk, Crowbar and more #6 Bathory, Mayhem, Children of Bodom and more
#1 - Indie - Big Thief, Shearwater, Peggy Sue #2 - Not sure what’s going on here… Bowie, Dylan, The Beatles and then The KLF, Suede, Cocteau Twins and the wild card of Laura Jane Grace #3 - Hip Hop - Beasties, Lots of MF DOOM related acts - Viktor Vaughn, Madvillain etc etc #4 - Fun Electronic stuff - Daft Punk, Metronomy, Simian Mobile Disco, Hot Chip, Com Truise #5 - Recent Jazz - Theon Cross, Greg Foat, Jyoti, Dougie Stu #6 - Serious Electronic stuff - First track and picture! Worriedaboutsatan @worrier1, Eno, DJ Python, Steve Hauschildt
#1 - ? - Sugar, Madonna, Manics #2 - ‘Indie’ - Chromatics, White Stripes, Modest Mouse #3 - Pop bangers #4 - Different kind of indie - My Morning Jacket, Big Thief, Feist #5 - Motown #6 - Old people - Dylan, Joni M, Van Morrison
#1 - “Low, Modest Mouse, YLT and more”. Indie bedwetter (i) #2 - “Talking Heads, The Cure, David Bowie and more”. Seems to make sense but it also has Fiona Apple and The B52s in. B52s radio #3 - “Flying Lotus, Portishead, Janelle Monae and more.” The more containing Julia Holter, Frank Ocean, and Sons of Kemet. Kool beatz and… neo… pop? #4 - “Panda Bear, Deerhunter, Spiritualized and more.” Indie bedwetter (ii). #5 - “Arthur Russell, Howard Budd, William Basinski and more.” Has Eno, Mazzy Star. Some stuff without words, but some has words #6 - “Parquet Courts, Protomartyr, Crack Cloud and more.” Post-punk bedwetter
Some are quite good, some are an absolute state. Never use them, ofc. Nice thread idea btw
