Another early morning tomorrow. Last one for the evening........
David Wax Museum - "Uncover the Gold" |
Thin Lizzy - "Vagabonds of the Western World" - Spotify
Check out - "Little Girl in Bloom" - Wow! Heard this on my Spotify Discover Weekly this week. Never heard anything off this album before. Good stuff, but "Little Girl in Bloom" is special. Went straight onto my "Discovered" playlist where I keep track of all the memorable stuff I've found on Spotify via their Discover Weekly push. |
I've had a busy week and had not yet listened to my Spotify Discover Weekly yet this week. Last night took a road trip with my 16 year old son. We played my Spotify Discover Weekly through the bluetooth connection in his Passat. Went through the whole 30 song set and did not have one single winner this week. Disappointing. It almost felt like Spotify (bot) lost all of my favorites and my past selections. This might be the first time ever that I didn't like a single selection from my Discover Weekly.
After finishing off the disappointing Discover Weekly, we stream lots of old discoveries from past Discover Weeklys. Ended up being a cracking good time once we got going. Here's a sample of some stuff that we played last night after discovering them via my Spotify Discover Weekly and saving them in my "Discovered" playlist:
Silver Jews - "San Fransico B.C."
Liz Cooper and the Stampede - "Thieves"
The Hold Steady - "Southtown Girls"
Cracker - "Euro-Trash Girl"
The Glands - "I Can See My House From Here"
Jellyfish - "The Man I Used To Be"
Courtney Marie Andrews - "Irene"
Kyle Craft - "The Rager"
Quiet Life - "Lost in the Light"
T Bone Burnett - "Palestine Texas"
Liz Phair - "Mesmerizing"
Conor Oberst - "A Little Uncanny"

The Yawpers - "Burdens"
Flamin' Groovies - "Whiskey Woman"
Rhett Miller - "Total Disaster"
Guided By Voices - "Motor Away"
Guadalcanal Diary - "Litany (Life Goes On)"
Good times, good times........

Fantastic live album by a great contemporary band....... |
It's Monday, so I'm streaming my new Spotify Discover Weekly playlist. Not a single winner this week. It's rare that the Spotify algorithm fails to find even one in twenty + songs that I want to tag for future listening. |
And Happy New Year to our wayward OP - @uberwaltz - Kevin, I hope you're out there, listening to great music and occasionally looking-in to see how your post is progressing.
Happy New Year Buddy......... |
Streamed a few good ones from the playlist I've created from choice songs delivered via my Spotify Discover Weekly feed. I listen to my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist every week and I save any great finds in a playlist that I call "discovered".
From my "discovered" playlist:
The Kinks - "Living on a Thin Line"
The Monroes - "What Do All the People Know"
The Rave-Ups - "Positively Lost Me"
Matthew Sweet - "Sick of Myself"
The Damned - "Alone Again Or"
And finally........
The Zombies - "This Will Be Our Year" |
Streamed Radio Paradise most of the day, breaking-in a new pair of speakers in the office. Moved on to
Bruce Springsteen - "Letter to You"
Spotify

Listening to my Spotify Discover Weekly while performing my PT regime and my cycling workout. It's heck getting old.... |
