Do you know, so far there have been about 60 Spotisfaction submissions. About 2/3rds of those have been generated by your good selves. Thank you very much for all of the fantastic submissions.

I guess the biggest news is that there are going to be a few changes to this blog going forward. Firstly, we”™re cutting down the frequency we”™re running playlists. From 5 times a week to 3 times a week. We”™ll be updating Monday, Wednesday and Friday as from today.

We”™re also toying with the idea of going full-blog with Spotisfaction (as opposed to just running playlists). We”™re still working out the details, so more on this nearer the end of the week.

So, on with today”™s guest mix. This guy bears some responsibility for my love of music so I”™m pretty honored to have a submission by him. Enjoy todays mix by Mr Craig Lee.

[Editors note: This playlist was originally intended to run on a Friday, however as pointed out it”™s more of a Sunday playlist. So we”™re running it on Monday. It”™s Tuesday tomorrow, by the way].

Craig Lee:
I”™m not really sure of the format as this is my first post so apologies if this is wrong somehow. It”™s not a Friday playlist really, more of a Sunday playlist but I”™m guessing you wanted todays date in the title? Well, I”™ll post my playlist anyway, I”™m sure you”™ll tell me if I got something wrong.

“Carolina Drama” – The Raconteurs
This was supposed to be a themed playlist, the theme being “lofi“. I then realised I wanted to include too many songs that didn”™t really fit that particular bracket. I therefore decided to change the theme to “acoustic” before realising that having a theme probably wasn”™t the best idea I ever had! Unfortunately that realisation came too late for this playlist as I was already too far in and determined to finish it. Trying to stick slavishly to the format was frustratingly restrictive and ultimately proved futile. Perhaps my focus was simply too narrow, perhaps themes still have some role to play in my future but, for now at least, I abhor the concept of the “theme“. Having said that, I (mostly) managed to stick with the acoustic idea and ended up with a coherent play list. Ok, so it”™s not consistently coherent but it still sounds pretty good! The following tracks are my stand out picks;

“Serpentine” – Ani Difranco.
Lyrically unsurpassed as far as I am concerned and some pretty nifty guitar work too! Her finest work.

“Uptown Top Ranking” – Scout Niblett. The most interesting cover version I”™ve heard for some time, she has some great songs of her own too but this one seemed to fit best.

“Woman” – Alessi”™s Ark. Saw this performed live on the late review I think and it was totally unexpected, it was a sparse and beautiful performance. She has a voice that reminds me of Joanna Newsom (who is criminally absent from Spotify!) at times, probably not for everyone this track.

At this point I”™ve reminded myself I don”™t need to explain every choice. Luckily it”™s Sufjan next, what needs to be said about Sufjan?!?!

“True Love Will Find You In The End” – Daniel Johnston.
This guy is a lofi genius.

“The Way The Wind Blows” – A Hawk And A Hacksaw.
The best live band I”™ve seen in the last couple of years. Everyone I”™ve ever played their stuff to hates them but I”™ll keep trying.

This is probably the latest a Spotisfaction update has ever been. What? What of it? Shouldn”™t you all be out enjoying the sun?

Excuses
Dave: I got stuck between two mirrors.
Thom: I tripped over a cobweb.

But, finally, here is the update. I”™ve enjoyed the last couple of playlists, and here is another one it looks like I”™m going to enjoy. The last submission by this guy was great and truth be told, it looks like this could surpass the last. So wake up, tune in and listen to this. Then shower Woody with appriciation via Twitter. Cheers, man.

Thom

Woody Says:
Hey guys

Here is my playlist for ya”™ll:

Occasionalism

  1. Fang Island – Dreams Of Dreams
  2. The Black Keys – I Got Mine
  3. Vivian Girls – Surfin”™ Away
  4. Darwin Deez – Constellations
  5. Malajube – Ton Plat Favori
  6. Violent Femmes – Please Do Not Go
  7. Neutral Milk Hotel – Two-Headed Boy
  8. Fools Gold – Surprise Hotel
  9. Janis Joplin – Mercedes Benz
  10. Balkan Beat Box – Bulgarian Chicks
  11. Rodrigo y Gabriela – Tamacun
  12. Taj Mahal – Checkin”™ Up On My Baby
  13. Husker Du – Could You Be The One
  14. The Replacements – I Will Dare
  15. Beach Fossils – Daydream
  16. Amadou & Mariam – Africa (Featuring Knaan)
  17. Yerba Buena – Bellydancer (Featuring Fulanito and Gogol Bordello)
  18. Balkan Beat Box – Move It
  19. Taj Mahal – Johnny Too Bad
  20. Yo La Tengo – Upside-Down
  21. Mission Of Burma – That”™s When I Reach For My Revolver
  22. Woody Guthrie – This Land Is Your Land

So it actually took me ages to do another playlist. Mainly because I tried to come up with themes, or a similar sound or something for them but I generally found them all to be crap. I realised what I most enjoy in a playlist is when it is comprised of music I haven”™t either heard before or songs I wouldn”™t have put together.

So I started with Yo La Tengo (I had just watched Adventureland which they contributed a song for the soundtrack) and from there I just started searching random bands from lots of different genres, hopefully with the effect of making sense together as a playlist but also to be a bit unpredictable at the same time.

Apart from Janis Joplin and Violent Femmes, most of the other music I had either never heard or only played a few tracks before. Balkan Beat Box are definitely a highlight, they are like the ultimate gypsy/world/party music band, they have such a range of sounds and influences and its pulled off to great effect. Beach Fossils and Fool”™s Gold are rapidly becoming some of my favourite new bands, perfect for chilling out in the sun. I also revisited classic bands such as Husker Du and The Replacements and even further back to Woody Guthrie because, well, why not?

Serving suggestion is some sunshine, a beer and ice cream. [EDITORS NOTE: We fully endorse this]

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together.

Afternoon, folk.

I just want to say, thank you to everyone who has provided feedback to us recently. Given the recent developments with Spotify (e.g. public libraries) the demand for Spotisfaction is dwindling, it would appear. In order for us to keep this up, we require input from the community. Without input and support from the community, Spotisfaction will die. David and myself are looking into the recent suggestions and other ways to keep the community together, hopefully we”™ll pull something out of the hat.

Today we have the mighty Ben Hawling with a fantastic idea for a playlist. This is the soundtrack to his life circa 2006. And now, I will give it a listen. I hope you will too.

If anyone has any ideas for Spotisfaction, or wants to make any suggestions for the future, please drop us an email: spotisfaction@googlemail.com. Cheers

Thom

6. See The World = The Kooks
7. Bittersweet Bundle Of Misery = Graham Coxon
8. TV Pro = The Vines
9. Despair In The Departure Lounge = Arctic Monkeys
10. Don”™t Stop Now = Lemon Jelly
11. Daylight Robbery = Imogen Heap
12. Soul Meets Body = Death Cab For Cutie
13. Theres A Good Reason These Tables”¦ = Panic! At The Disco
14. Colours = Hot Chip
15. Atlantic = Keane
16. Control Myself = L.L. Cool J Ft. Jennifer Lopez
17. Give It Away = Zero 7
18. Fixed Income = DJ Shadow
19. Hoodoo = Muse

22. Creepin Up The Backstairs = The Fratellis

24. Missing = Beck
25. My Imaginary Friend = The Divine Comedy
26. Littlest Things = Lily Allen
27. Bruised = Ben Folds
28. Legacy = Mansun

The soundtrack to my life”¦”¦2006

Every track in this list represents a feeling, a mood, or event during my 2006 that stands out for one reason or another. It was a big year for me, and the eclectic mix above was with me all the way through the peaks and troughs.

Janurary – March =

During this time, I found myself juggling mounting workloads at sixth form, and shit long hours at work (Waitrose), and holding together a relationship. This ultimately led to me being run down and contracting glandular fever, eek!  ”˜Dollars And Cents”™ and ”˜Distance”™ both capture my intense and cloudy judgement and head space at that time, as the respective albums were all i listened to for a while. I bought the Morning Runner album the day it came out, as my then girlfriend bought The Delays album on the same day. These two songs are significant as we then burnt copies of our albums for each other. I tended to listen to The Kooks album, as well as a lot of Blur and Graham Coxon whilst being bedridden with the glandular fever, and they totally got me through it, so cheers!

April – June =

My then girlfriend went away during the Easter holidays of 2006, so I hung out with my friends a lot more (something I should have done a lot more of anyway) and got into The Vines, Death Cab For Cutie and Imogen Heap, all of which providing perfect noise to the sunlight. I also watched Spaced a lot during this time so naturally got into Lemon Jelly big time! Keane are one of my favourite ever bands, so I was hugely excited when Under The Iron Sea came out, opening with the epic ”˜Atlantic”™. The LL Cool J track came out during this time and me and my mate loved it so much that we got it played at our sixth form leavers ball, woop!

July – September =

Then came study period for my A level exams, so I naturally listened to loads of albums. Stuff like Zero 7 and DJ Shadow brought a relaxing, and cool vibe to the studying. Tracks like ”˜We Are Your Friends”™ were anthems for the summer, and I remember listening to We Are Scientists a lot when I was gathering items for my V Festival checklist the day before going. The week before I left for University, The Fratellis first album came out and I couldn”™t stop listening to it. ”˜When You Were Young”™ means a lot to me as it was the song playing on the radio on the first drive to uni, when I felt massively homesick and anxious, yet excited of what was to come. The song seemed to symbolise my transition from being young, to growing older and leaving home for the first time.

October – December =

I got into Beck and The Divine Comedy in a fucking massive way at this time, and went to see The Divine Comedy at my uni, which left me smiling out loud! I also started going out with a girl in the first few months of uni, and her mannerisms always reminded me of Lily Allen. Plus ”˜Littlest Things”™ came out at this time. I love anything Ben Folds does, and was blown away by ”˜Bruised”™ due to its delicacy and honesty. I got into Mansun over this whole time, because: 1. They are amazing, and 2. because no one else I knew at uni liked them, so i liked having that special appreciation. Their second album ”˜Six”™ blow my mind and opened my eyes to what great music really was, and to what bands can achieve if they truly experiment with sound. ”˜Legacy”™ tends to sum up my mood at this time also.

Its a pretty boring story, but its story none the less, and best of all”¦..its real. I love how music shapes our lives, but mainly how we cling to music and its magical properties in order to make sense of the mess of human behaviour.
So that was my 2006, and thinking back, I completely changed as an individual from January to December, fascinating!

2007 was just as interesting”¦”¦..honest!

Nuff said!

Afternoon all. Some awesome feedback coming from today”™s news post, so huge thanks for all you niaive folks sharing your ideas for us to rip off”¦ uh, I mean implement with full credit as appropriate! Thom and I started Spotisfaction as an ambitious project to listen to every track in the world ever, but in the process we”™ve created a small community and we”™d love to improve things for those of you who have stuck with us. So, if there”™s something you”™d like out of Spotisfaction that we”™re not currently delivering, let us know.

Anyway, today”™s mix is beautiful in my opinion. I”™ll hand you over to its loving creator, James Cook.

Tripping the light tangfastic”¦
David

Playlist can be found right here.

James says:
The Acoustic Session

To contrast my previous mix Dubisfiction, I”™m stripping things back and present The Acoustic Session – a short acoustic-only playlist of folk, bossa nova, classical and crossover.

  1. Loro – Adem
  2. I Was Hoping Winter Was OVer – The Twilight Sad
  3. In A Manner Of Speaking – Nouvelle Vague
  4. Fantasia Sobre La Traviata – Francisco Tárrega
  5. Who Will Comfort Me? – Melody Gardot
  6. Birthday Present – Mirah
  7. Winter Dies – Midlake
  8. Fingerbib – Alarm Will Sound / Aphex Twin
  9. Homenaje A Tárrega: Soleares – Joaquin Turina
  10. Ada – The National
  11. Things Behind The Sun – Nick Drake
  12. This Flight Tonight – Joni Mitchell
  13. Pass It On – The Coral
  14. Saturday Come Slow – Massive Attack
  15. Recuerdos De Alhambra – Francisco Tárrega
  16. The Mosquito Song – Queens Of The Stone Age
  17. Jynweythek Ylow – Aphex Twin
  18. Human Beings Gather Round – Adem


Blurb:

I knew one artist that was going in here straight off the bat – Adem; and so I bookended the playlist with a track from his most recent covers album – Loro by Pinback – and finishing on the album-closer for Love And Other Planets – Human Beings Gather Round.

I also knew I wanted songs featuring my favourite female vocalists – Camille Dalmais on Nouvelle Vague”™s cover of In A Manner of Speaking, Melody Gardot and Mirah. Soft, sassy, whisper-in-your-ear delicacy.

Francisco Tárrega is quite simply one of the best Spanish classical guitarists ever to grace the planet and it is a travesty that most people know him only by that Nokia theme. Combining the classical romanticism of the time with the traditional spanish folk of his upbringing, he has created some of the most achingly beautiful classical guitar pieces ever written. To protect the playlist from sections of density, I have interspersed three tracks created or inspired by Tárrega, finishing with his opus, Recuerdos De Alhambra.

2 choices from leftfield by the infinitely various Aphex Twin continue to show the size of his repertoire on these Spotifaction mixlists.

Now, everybody knows Joni Mitchell”™s Both Sides Now and Big Yellow Taxi, and if you don”™t, you”™re an idiot. I therefore avoided insulting your intelligence by choosing a song of hers that is less well known – This Flight Tonight.

A long-unheared Queens Of The Stone Age bonus track, the effecting Mosquito Song, and the aforementioned Aphex Twin and Adem tracks close out the mixlist. Here”™s hoping you”™ve enjoyed it!

Cheers

Afternoon all. Some awesome feedback coming from today”™s news post, so huge thanks for all you niaive folks sharing your ideas for us to rip off”¦ uh, I mean implement with full credit as appropriate! Thom and I started Spotisfaction as an ambitious project to listen to every track in the world ever, but in the process we”™ve created a small community and we”™d love to improve things for those of you who have stuck with us. So, if there”™s something you”™d like out of Spotisfaction that we”™re not currently delivering, let us know.

Anyway, today”™s mix is beautiful in my opinion. I”™ll hand you over to its loving creator, James Cook.

Tripping the light tangfastic”¦

The Acoustic Session

To contrast my previous mix Dubisfiction, I”™m stripping things back and present The Acoustic Session – a short acoustic-only playlist of folk, bossa nova, classical and crossover.

  1. Loro – Adem
  2. I Was Hoping Winter Was OVer – The Twilight Sad
  3. In A Manner Of Speaking – Nouvelle Vague
  4. Fantasia Sobre La Traviata – Francisco Tárrega
  5. Who Will Comfort Me? – Melody Gardot
  6. Birthday Present – Mirah
  7. Winter Dies – Midlake
  8. Fingerbib – Alarm Will Sound / Aphex Twin
  9. Homenaje A Tárrega: Soleares – Joaquin Turina
  10. Ada – The National
  11. Things Behind The Sun – Nick Drake
  12. This Flight Tonight – Joni Mitchell
  13. Pass It On – The Coral
  14. Saturday Come Slow – Massive Attack
  15. Recuerdos De Alhambra – Francisco Tárrega
  16. The Mosquito Song – Queens Of The Stone Age
  17. Jynweythek Ylow – Aphex Twin
  18. Human Beings Gather Round – Adem


Blurb:

I knew one artist that was going in here straight off the bat – Adem; and so I bookended the playlist with a track from his most recent covers album – Loro by Pinback – and finishing on the album-closer for Love And Other Planets – Human Beings Gather Round.

I also knew I wanted songs featuring my favourite female vocalists – Camille Dalmais on Nouvelle Vague”™s cover of In A Manner of Speaking, Melody Gardot and Mirah. Soft, sassy, whisper-in-your-ear delicacy.

Francisco Tárrega is quite simply one of the best Spanish classical guitarists ever to grace the planet and it is a travesty that most people know him only by that Nokia theme. Combining the classical romanticism of the time with the traditional spanish folk of his upbringing, he has created some of the most achingly beautiful classical guitar pieces ever written. To protect the playlist from sections of density, I have interspersed three tracks created or inspired by Tárrega, finishing with his opus, Recuerdos De Alhambra.

Hi all,

Thom”™s away on holiday today (lucky sod) so I”™m holding the fort at Spotisfaction Towers. Not gonna lie, I”™ve been hella busy today. So busy, in fact, that I”™ve lost all sense of dignity and have used ”˜hella”™ in a sentence. Shame on me. However, we have a playlist designed to sort that out, courtesy of Mr Richard Brittain.

It”™s a bit of a departure for us (ie not indie or electro), but as is the aim of Spotisfaction it”™s lifted my little soul and brought a wry grin to my handsomely chiseled jaw. Rawr.

Love, hockey pucks and pickup trucks.
David

Af”™noon all. I hope your weekends were as lovely as mine (and that they were less of a drain on the ol”™ coffers). I”™m on the early shift, so am off home in t-minus 10 minutes”¦ this means Monday has been fine!

Today”™s mix is from Rhys, and it”™s a wicked theme in my opinion.

Call to arms: We really need some more submissions as the cupboards are getting a little bare. If you”™ve got something in the pipeline, get it in to us yo! Hell, we”™ll even help finish it if you”™ve got an idea and lack the time to finish it.

Laters,
David

Rhys says:

Evening all again. I”™ve gone for a themed list here. The theme is “James Bond Artists but not James Bond Songs”. I think that”™s pretty self explanatory.

Here”™s the excuses.

1) Sorry that there is so much Shirley Bassey but she did do 3 Bond theme tunes. And I was aiming for a song per film
2) I”™ve only done the official films. Feel free to argue about the canon in the comments
3) No real theme song for Dr. No so took John Barry as the artist for the James Bond Theme and went from there
4) Just went for Paul McCartney rather than Wings
5) Check out the youtube literal version of Take on Me if you haven”™t already.
Here”™s the link
Track Listing

  1. John Barry ”“ Midnight Cowboy
  2. Matt Monro ”“ No Puedo Quitar Mis Ojos De Ti (Can”™t Take my Eyes Off You)

  8. Paul McCartney ”“ Paperback Writer – Live at CitiField, NYC – Digital Audio
  9. Lulu ”“ Feelin”™ Alright – LP Version   2006 Remastered
  10. Carly Simon ”“ You”™re So Vain – Live

Three is a prime number and today”™s playlist is nothing if not prime. (However please note that there is no Primus on today”™s playlist). See if you can spot the theme here. Answers on a postcard.

Today myself, David and our evil minion Kev decided to stick 10 tracks each onto a collaboration and share it with the world. Or at least the part of the world that cares.

Coming up next week we”™ve got a variety of fantastic guest playlists to stir things up a bit. We”™re still waiting for a few submissions to trickle in (John Brobyn, I”™m looking at you here) so hurry your pants and get them in.

Playlist is here:

  28. Oceansize – Women Who Love Men Who Love Drugs
  29. Quicksand – Fazer
  30. Rage Against The Machine – Guerrilla Radio

As an aside, how do you all think Spotisfaction is going? As I stood on my faux-balcony this morning, having my post wake-up cigarette I wondered what the future had in store for this blog. Is radio dead? Are people so saturated with music choice that they have no idea what to listen to? What makes music journalists so damn snooty they think they can decree the success of otherwise of a band with their sub-par, horribly subjective and bland reviews? I”™m getting the tickle that states something must be done. This summer, we have to take some kind of action. Please upload your ideas into my brain along with a bit of alcohol so I can get something moving.

Ramble over, ramble on.

Guys, girls and northerners. Apologies for the delay in today”™s Spotisfaction. David and I are currently trialling a later update to afford us some more free time in the morning. It works for us, let”™s see if it works for you.

Today”™s mixtape of the virtual kind is from our good friend (and generally slick muddyfunster) Paul P, who obviously knows his way around the music. Turn left here, down that dark alley, ooh, check out that little shop, it does the best dango. Mmm, dango. I just ate a tomato. I was hoping that when I bit into it, tomato juice would shoot out and hit David right in his ear. You know, RIGHT IN HIS EARHOLE. But it didn”™t. Instead it went all over my beard, hands and keyboard. I blame David for this, and he will soon know the full extent of my wrath. Because he”™ll read this news post. Yes, David, I will have my revenge. Revenge is a dish best served with mint sauce. Like cous cous.

But enough talk, HAVE HAT YOU!

  25. Smokebelch II (Beatless Mix) – The Sabres Of Paradise

This is just a small selection of what I”™ve loved to listen to throughout this thing we call life along with a couple of things that I”™m liking currently.  The first track is one of the most giddy uplifting tracks you can ever hear, and the second takes me back to my school days, the days of dandruff and mullets (for me anyway, ahem..).  Endtroducing has to be one of my all time favourite records and Midnight in a Perfect world is a perfect encapsulation of the wonder that is DJ Shadow.  Had to put Sparklehorse in (R I P Mark Linkous), truly genius.  I liked Chapterhouse for about 40 minutes in 1991 whilst peering laconically through a very long fringe but this is an ace track I”™ve just rediscovered, .

The Besnard Lakes are new to me and I”™m loving this album at the moment, it has an epic spacious feel about it which greatly appeals to me.  Low very much being an obvious influence on them had to follow.  All rounded off with an ambient classic I preferred the original with beats but it ain”™t on here, the album Sabresonic is well worth a listen even if it is ancient now.

Hope my submission is an enjoyable one, I have much enjoyed checking out other playlists and have picked up a couple of new acts to follow which is what i like.  Adios an”™ ting.

The Besnard Lakes are new to me and I”™m loving this album at the moment, it has an epic spacious feel about it which greatly appeals to me.  Low very much being an obvious influence on them had to follow.  All rounded off with an ambient classic I preferred the original with beats but it ain”™t on here, the album Sabresonic is well worth a listen even if it is ancient now.

Hope my submission is an enjoyable one, I have much enjoyed checking out other playlists and have picked up a couple of new acts to follow which is what i like.  Adios an”™ ting.

Yo! Good afternoon, wondrous people. Day 2 of the week. This playlist was a cick-through experiment. I”™d find a track, then try and find another similar artist by clicking through on Spotify, until I found something I really liked. It was pretty good fun, but it”™s got a rather random flow to it. Definitely helps you find stuff you wouldn”™t listen to otherwise, though.

A bit harangued at work today, so I”™ll keep it brief and let the playlist speak for itself.

Peace,
David

Morning kids! Monday. Gah-buh-der. What a lovely day to waste sitting indoors, staring mindlessly at a computer screen. Hooray for me!

Today”™s playlist is a combination of songs by bands I”™ve been meaning to check out for a while, some Last.fm recommendations, and some songs by bands I”™ve really liked from other playlists. It”™s got a weird flow to it and is probably a bit more indie than the stuff I”™d normally listen to, but I hope you enjoy regardless.

Love, etc.

THE POWER OF TWO

Happy Friday.

Dave has returned to Spotisfaction Towers, one more exam behind him. Well done to Dave for passing yesterdays hardship. To celebrate, we”™ve created a joint playlist. The first half is largely quite upbeat. The second half is more chilled. A special mention goes to the track by The Futureheads “Decent Days And Nights”. Two reasons. Firstly, tonight we are going to see the Futureheads. The second reason is “Decent Days And Nights” is the name of the Cheltenham Underground weekend extravaganza. More information on this is here, and no doubt there will be further news posts over the weekend about it.

Anyway, enjoy today. If people could start leaving some feedback the world will be abetter place. See you all Monday.

Dave is sitting his ISCW today. So everyone send him luck and good vibes.

Okay, so the music today. I fancied something a bit different. We kick off this playlist with some music from the other side of the world. Japan, to be exact. Anyone who knows me knows that I can be a huge Japanophile sometimes and one thing that I was a bit upset about was the lack of Japanese music on Spotify. This seems to be changing, slowly but surely.

As for the rest of the list, I have to admit that most of these tracks are new to me.

Playlist is here

  1. Cornelius – Mic Check
  2. Cornelius – Count Five Or Six
  3. L”™Arc~en~Ciel – The Black Rose
  4. Blood – Maria
  5. D=OUT – Bankoku, Dai Toukyou
  6. 9mm Parabellum Bullet – Trigger
  7. Ayabie – Hinata
  8. Guitar Wolf – Fujiyama Attack
  9. Electric Eel Shock – Bastard!
  10. Ima Robot – A Is For Action
  11. Polysics – Moog is Love
  12. Add N to x – Metal Fingers In My Body
  13. Alpinestars – Carbon Kid
  14. Clor – Love + Pain
  15. The Photo Atlas – Red Orange Yellow
  16. Dirty On Purpose – Send Me An Angel
  17. Neon Horse – Cuckoo!
  18. Heavens – Patent Pending
  19. Les Savy Fav – The Sweet Descends
  20. Forward Russia – Nine

Stick with today”™s playlist, you might find something you like. Also, if you have any more submissions for us then get them sent in – next week I believe we”™re starting to run guest mixes again – so please share some playlists with us. To all that have submitted, I extend my thanks and I promise that they will be ran shortly.

So, ah, David is currently studying to become some kind of Cisco networking guru. Last I heard he was climbing a mountain in Tibet to learn the art of Zen routing. Good luck to him, I say. You unlucky people have to put up with Thom flavoured Spotisfaction until his return.

Again, todays playlist is just a bunch a tracks that I want to listen to. Nothing else behind it.

Click here to give it a listen

  7. Deerhunger – Microcastle

“Just Like Honey” by The Jesus And Mary Chain kicks this off. I watched Lost In Translation for the first time and really loved the soundtrack. One of the last tracks in the film was this, so I had an urge to listen to it. The rest of the tracks on here are, pretty much, last.fm recommendations with a smattering of tracks that I love but haven”™t heard in a while. Hopefully you”™ll find something you like. So, er, give it a listen.

So no David today, then. Yes, it has been a long weekend. Hope everyone had a good one. Mine was pretty fantastic, there was music, there were parties, there were surprise announcements. Needless to say, I”™m the happiest, luckiest person alive today. So with that in mind, I created the below playlist. It”™s not fantastically upbeat or happy, there is no structure, no elitism or any of that rubbish. It”™s just a few tracks that I haven”™t heard in a while lumped together in Spotisfaction form.

Listen to it here, if you will.

  1. Chemical Brothers – Leave Home
  2. Fluke – Atom Bomb (Atomix 6)
  3. Royksopp – Sparks
  4. Global Communication – 5:23 (Maiden Voyage)
  5. Hexstatic – Chase Me
  6. Portishead – Glory Box
  7. Morcheeba – Big Calm
  8. Massive Attack – Black Milk
  9. Bjork – Play Dead
  10. Ratata – Seventeen Years
  11. Erol Alkan – Waves
  12. Daft Punk – Voyager
  13. Orbital – Speedfreak
  14. Noisia – Machine Gun
  15. Photek – Industry Of Noise
  16. Manic Street Preachers – La Tristesse Durera (Scream To A Sigh) Chemical Brothers remix
  17. Placebo – Spite And Malice
  18. Explosions In The Sky – First Breath After A Coma
  19. M83 – Skin Of The Night
  20. The Album Leaf – Twentytwofourteen
  21. Four Tet – Angel Echoes
  22. Thom Yorke – Atoms For Peace
  23. Radiohead – 2+2=5
  24. Blur – Coffee and TV
  25. Beck – Modern Guilt
  26. Eels – Flyswatter
  27. The Dandy Warhols – Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth

There really isn”™t much of an order to this list. As stated, I just wanted to listen to these tracks. Special mention to Chemical Brothers “Leave Home”, as this track reminds me plenty of my youth. I totally wore out my copy of “Exit Planet Dust” which I had on the magic medium of cassette tape. Explosions In The Sky are one of my favourite bands and “First Breath After A Coma” is probably the track that got me into the band. Finally, Blur”™s classic “Coffee & TV”, which Tom Mitchell taught me to play whilst I was rather drunk at a party on Saturday. Good work, sir.

Anyway, get back to it and I will catch you on the other side.
