Bonjour et mercredi heureux. Apportez la discothÃ¨que! Today”™s playlist is one of mine and is a combination of funky tracks that have got me through the last few days of stressful moving and acts that played 2000trees festival. All in all, it”™s a pretty good mix. Check it.

As an aside, we”™re really short staffed at the moment. So if you”™ve submitted something please bear with us. We will try and get back to you as soon as possible.

88 Spotisfaction Wednesday (21 Jul) – TLavelle

Tracklist

Terry Poison – Comme ci comme ca (The Twelves Remix)

Goldheart Assembly – King Of Rome

Klaxons – Forgotten Works

Errors – A Rumor In Africa

Trentemoller – Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider Go!!!

65daysofstatic – Dance Dance Dance

Abe Vigoda – House

Tubelord – Night Of Pencils

Sleigh Bells – Infinity Guitars

Desaparecidos – Popn”™ Off At The F

Little Fish – Am I Crazy

Sky Larkin – Octopus ”˜08

The Xcerts – Home Versus Home

And So I Watched You From Afar – Set Guitars To Kill

Vessels – Altered Beast

Three Trapped Tigers – 6

Maybeshewill – He Films The Clouds Pt. 2

Daft Punk – Too Long (Gonzales Version)

Air – So Light Is Her Footfall

Metronomy – Love Song For Dog

Haven”™t got much to say about this playlist. I just knocked it up as I fancied listening to a few tracks. Kicking off is The Twelves Remix of “Comme ci comme ca”, which in typical Twelves style brings the disco. If you”™ve never heard these Brazillian love bastards at work, this is a fantastic place to start. I slipped Goldheart Assembly”™s “King Of Rome” in next because it just feels good, you know? Let”™s keep things happy for now, eh?
Tubelord were at 2000trees, unfortunately I missed them. To make up for it, I”™ll just leave “Night Of Pencils” here. I also missed Sky Larkin at the recent Broken Social Scene gig, which is a shame as they are fantastic – “Octopus ”˜08” highlights this, then underlines it. Then draws a lightening bolt behind it. Kickin”™ rad aces.

And So I Watched You From Afar were one of my favourite acts I did see at 2000trees. They were tight, they were vibrant and “Set Guitars To Kill” really sets the scene for the second half of the playlist.

Gonzales has a knack for picking fantastic tracks to re-imagining, and I”™m sure you”™ll remember the reworking of “Too Long” from Daft Punk”™s catalogue.

Closing this playlist is Air”™s sublime “So Light Is Her Footfall” and Metronomy”™s “Love Song For A Dog”, which to be fair feels a little out of place, but I just wanted to end with it. They were fantastic at 2000trees and I know for a fact made a few converts to their cause with their sublime set.

For now, for then, au revoir.

Collaboration by Paul “Fozz” Foster (Contributor) and James Cook (Curator)

Blurbalicious:
Both Fozz and JC had begun independently working on a Metal playlist, and discovered their simultaneity (boom) just before submitting to Spotisfaction. We decided to merge the two lists together in as fluid a fashion as possible, creating one list that retained the character of both originals. We hope you like it.

JC highlights:
Periphery, the brainchild of Misha Mansoor, is a shining example of how far you can get through the online community. He built his name by showing his own tracks on music forums, Soundclick, YouTube and various other social media. Gaining a name for himself, he eventually formed a band, got a label and after 5 years releases the eponymous debut Periphery.

Animals As Leaders is another 1-man brainstorm. Tosin Abasi is perhaps one of the most talented guitarists alive at the moment. Mixing metal chops, jazz sensibility and Stanley Jordan inspired tapping techniques, he has created one of the most exciting prog releases of last year.

The playlist is a bit longer than I usually do, but I felt that was necessary to get across the character of a dual-mix, and also because there hasn”™t been much metal on Spotisfaction up to now. I”™ve tried my best to keep similar styles together where possible – there are notable nu-, thrash- and prog-metal sections for instance. Hopefully it works as a mix!

Fozz says:
Most of the tracks I chose for the playlist are bands I used to listen to about 10 years ago during my mid teens when I went through a bit of a metal phase. The most notable tracks for me are the Pantera and Slayer tracks, both of whom are powerful and dominating forces of the genre, and it couldn”™t really be called a metal playlist without them.

I”™m not really a massive fan of some of the more well known prog metal bands (Iron Maiden, Dream Theater and such like) but fortunately there are quite a few exceptions to the rule. Opeth and Isis are prime examples of this, with their blissful mix of soaring riffs and floaty vocals.

Stampin”™ Ground are a hardcore metal band from Cheltenham who I saw play at the Guildhall when I was in sixth form, and it was probably one of the most ferocious and insane gigs I”™ve ever been to.
