When in a playlist with a genre you don't wanna listen to anymore, choose “Exclude from your taste profile.”

Not necessarily their favorite songs but songs that make you think of them:)

When I make a playlist, the two things I like to think about are cohesiveness (do these songs sound good together, is there a jarring transition between tracks, do they communicate complimentary things (that can be sound, tone, genre, even a sort of consistent instrumental motif)), and texture (is this interesting, is it samey, or too easy listening)
When I think about Spotify’s daylist, it can sometimes be samey— they pick songs I like, but one after another they blend into coffeehouse music. What you have, that the algorithm will never have, is taste and an ear for the narrative of a playlist. I tend to make 8 tracks, because that’s what fit on my CDs; try starting with a track number.

The ‘sort’ feature added to Spotify playlists is antithetical to the entire concept of a playlist, which, like the mixtape, is supposed to be a well curated collection of songs delivered in order to tell a certain emotional message. Rearranging the songs into an order as banal as title or artist entirely rewrites the story I spent hours, days, months adding to and adjusting accordingly. Spotify’s so far up the binary ass of the computer overlord they’ve forgotten what human intuition looks like, forgotten the importance of irrationality in how we order ourselves and our lives. Music is an oft-used medium of the mystics, and it‘s the ineffable, un-categorizable confluence of sounds and feelings that influence god-like visions and euphoric sensations enabling a spiritual and sometimes physical transcendence beyond these mortal binds. The sort option is disrespectfully counterintuitive to the role music has always played in elevating our spiritual consciousness, and denigrates the very artists we depend on for this deliverance by reducing these feelings to a name or title and not some cosmic order we encountered as listeners in pursuit of Feeling Better.

Never felt more fresh, and no you’re not depressed. you just need Poolsuite FM and a cup of ice coffee.

As much as shoegaze/dreampop has affected my life, Night Tapes was the best one so far.
Blending atmospheric night time soundscapes, astral synth work, multi-fidelity recordings and dreamy guitars. They push escapist dreamрор style so far with their work.

i’m terrified of the idea that streaming services could just pull the plug and i will lose access to movies and tv. to combat this i’ve been collecting physical copies of my favourite movies and highly recommend — if not to safeguard ip then at the very least to access the lost gift of special features and extras 🤌🏽
