No. I was talking with my daughter about this over the weekend.

A playlist means that you’re confining your listening to some finite number of songs – it may be a big number, but it’s still limited and it is frozen unless I add to it.

One of the great things about various sound services – Sirius-XM, spotify, even plain old FM radio – is that you have acces to the whole world of music, and it is constantly changing. New music arrives and it is played.

Using a playlist takes away serendipity and discovery. It locks you into a frozen set of music.

@product Nice playlist. Only recognized Run The Jewels and Japanther. Really digging A Place to Bury Strangers and The Coup. Thanks for the new music recs.

Wait…I might have heard of Run the Jewels from Fluther. Did you recommend on another question awhile back?

raum (13206

@raum This is the song that made me realize that people can still hear the music I’m playing in my car, even if I have the windows rolled up.

When I can hear music through a car’s windows, I’m pretty sure I know what their hearing test will show in their 50’s or 60’s, and why they’re having one. I love loud music, but having moderate hearing loss due to loud machinery I worked with in my 30’s and 40’s has made me dial it down. Hope you have better luck.

I have little kids. So the only time I get to blast music is when I’m in the car by myself. :P

I actually have really good hearing. Can hear the radio when the volume is on zero. And the buzz of electricity from appliances and streetlights. Drives me nuts.

Sorry to hear about your moderate hearing loss. :(

@raum: “Did you recommend [RTJ] on another question awhile back?”

Likely. They’re great. Here’s another. Killer Mike also has solo stuff.

Yeah, A Place to Bury Strangers is great. Their Exploding Head album is my favorite. Admittedly, they appeal to me by playing up many familiar things I enjoyed in the 80s, but they put it together quite well.

product (4275

)“Great Answer” (1

)

@product Yeah, that’s the RTJ song I just added to my playlist. :)

Currently listening to the self-titled album. I like to chronologically go through the artist’s discography when I’m listening to a new (to me) artist. Surprised that they’re pretty new (2007). But they pull it together really well without sounding obviously derivative.

Though the intro to one of their songs is giving me a brain itch. It sounds like an intro to a Bauhaus or Tones on Tail song? But I can’t quite place it.

raum (13206

)“Great Answer” (1

)

:) Yeah, there are many elements of Bauhaus, Tones on Tail, Jesus and Mary Chain, and even some early Cure and New Order and even some industrial influences in there. I think that intro sound definitely has a Love and Rockets/Joy Division vibe. That whole thing was my thing in the 80s.

product (4275

)“Great Answer” (1

EDIT: That intro actually reminds me of Love and Rockets’ Haunted When the Minutes Drag! But that immediate 2 second fade-in reminded a bit of Bauhaus’ She’s in Parties.

@product Brain itch scratched! Bauhaus – She’s In Parties Edit jinx!

Though Love and Rockets is always great. :)

I guess that’s because it’s basically Cole Porter’s song that they used.

Thanks for the education. Until now, I didn’t know that it was written by him.

Before I clicked on your link and did some research, I actually thought those lyrics were used in the Chevy commercials sung by Dinah Shore.

It’s deflating, it’s de-sturbing, that I forgot DeSoto! ;-p

@raum I liked Hallelujah but for me it’s died of overkill.

@Brian1946 I like Sam Cooke’s better; less showy.
