Blue Moon Playlist Review Club - Season 2 - Episode 19 - Dynamic Duos - Coatigan (pg 368)

With the introduction of streaming apps and sites, I’ve shifted to creating playlists, and searching for and discovering, or hearing by chance, good songs more than I have albums.

I suppose it’s how music originally started out as an industry off the back of songs rather than albums.

You can find a far greater variety of music from looking for songs than you can albums as many bands don’t produce good albums but many bands can kick out a few great songs. As someone who doesn’t like just one kind of music, individual songs can provide a quicker way to access more varieties of music.

I have an Instagram account where I post a 5-song playlist every Friday. I’ve not got many followers but if it gets a couple of people listening to alternative music then it’s done it’s job.

Should be a good thread this.

A further suggestion, unless only available on Youtube, can we avoid pasting in 5 youtube links. Simply write the 5 songs out in a post. Might just be me, but I find pages and pages of youtube videos tedious.

It’s possible to share a Spotify or Apple Music playlist. I have a load of them from the previous time we did something like this
The poster could just post the playlist with review.

Oh good. That will probably have a few Smiths and Morrissey tunes in it.

And on that note......put me in please @RobMCFC - I may even surprise a few of you on here :)

Now why would that be? I like 'em both! :)

Can somebody do an idiot's guide for posting a Spotify playlist on to Blue Moon.

Benny Boy here’s one you did earlier.

Bumpety-bump as the level of enthusiasm in the Album Club thread has not been matched by the number of responses in here!

Still looking for new members who might wish to put together a playlist.

Sorry. If I haven’t said so already. Count me in.

I don’t have Spotify but I presume there’s a ‘…’ line somewhere on the page you’re on where you can copy the link for the page (sometimes shown as a paper aeroplane icon on some sites) and you can just copy+paste the link and post it on here.

Disagree. The videos are there and all we have to do is click and play, not have to keep going in and out of youtube trying to find it and end up listening to live versions or some twat singing it in their bedroom

TBF sometimes the YT videos that get posted here aren't available in the US for some reason, and vice versa I think. Anyhow, I've no preferences to format -- I think a written list is fine, and I can hunt them down on Spotify or YT easily. It's only five songs.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Is it easy to share a Spotify playlist.

Yes. You’ve done it before.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

I definitely agree with this - it's a right p.i.t.a.


I specifically didn't mention a mechanism of how we'd so the playlists, but this is definitely a good option for those on Spotify.

Even if you are not a subscriber you can still play the playlist posted if it is linked to here.
It might play on shuffle rather than the order posted but that’s not such a big deal for circa songs or 40 minutes of music.

Correct.
