#theplaylist

@JodiTheEntitled@mastodon.nz occasionally YT shows me something worthwhile, but not reliably. Works best when you align the algorithm by actively going down a rabbit hole. Mastodon has music hash tags where people post tracks on a theme, like #ThursdayFiveList and #JukeboxFridayNight There's at least one music podcast advertising on here with a collaborative track list, #ThePlaylist . Obviously not the same as an algo that suggests music similar to what you listen to, but a way to hear new things.

This week on #ThePlaylist we have a theme brought to you by none other than @daveybot@mastodon.scot, Laird of the Wild Lands Beyond The Wall, who wanted to hear your best songs about: Furniture So we've got two hours of tunes about tables and chairs and ottomans and beds, and armchairs and sofas and that. Or whatever sparked in your brains at seeing the word 'furniture'. #TheArchive - https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/theplaylist-120-furniture/ Listen! Enjoy!

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist, we want to hear your favourite: Three Minute (or thereabouts) Pop Bangers Nothing more complicated than that. Just good quality tunes that refuse to outstay their welcome. Let's see how many we can squeeze in to our two hours. Fling your (maximum of) four suggestions this way using #ThePlaylistSuggestion and my obedient hooverbot will suck them up for my later perusal and judgement.

#nowPlaying #thePlaylist with @DJDarren@mendeddrum.org, and it's all very magical and disc-like this week. No, we're not talking dark chocolate Hobnobs (even though they are magical discs), this week's show is all things Discworld! https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/

We're off to Discworld Con this weekend, so the theme for this week's edition of #ThePlaylist is: The Discworld Songs about wizards, and flying turtles, and DEATH, and THE DEATH OF RATS, will abound. Or just songs about discs, or worlds. Are there any flat Earth bangers? #TheArchive - https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/theplaylist-116-the-discworld/ Listen! Enjoy!

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist There will be no next week! Because we'll be at Discworld Con and I'm far too lazy to pre-record a show. But... ON THE 17TH OF AUGUST ON #ThePlaylist... Yet another guest theme, this time from @RealAleRocks@mastodon.social and Ben Gray, who, because they're drug dealers or they work in a pharmacy or something, would like to suggest: Pharmacy A terribly difficult one, I know, as there are basically no songs about drugs. HOWEVER, they're ACTUALLY asking for songs about a pharmacy. So bear that in mind. Or not. Whatever. I'm not your mum. Dispense your suggestions this way with #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and with any luck we'll get high on our own supply. // https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK // // https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/ // #Music #Podcast #Drugs #BootsTheChemistCanPissUpARope

It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's #ThePlaylist This week we have another guest theme, this time from @FloatingOnion who flew in (without a cape) to ask for songs about: Heroes He wanted to hear YOUR most heroic tunes. He wanted to hear songs that'll save people from a hijacked passenger jet, or have the ability to leave the last chocolate Hob Nob in the packet. He wanted songs that were strong, and fast, and fresh from the fight, and by golly, he got 'em. #TheArchive - https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/theplaylist-115-heroes/ Listen! Enjoy!

This week's heroes, each of whom is faster than a speeding locomotive, more powerful than a house, and able to leap a bullet in a single bound! @alicemcalicepants@ohai.social @Andyyyfish82@mastodonapp.uk @arakin@meow.social @astronomerritt@hachyderm.io Ben Gray Dr Caitlin @swisslet@mas.to @ccferrie@mastodon.ie @daveybot@mastodon.scot Mrs @dddz@fosstodon.org @FloatingOnion@cyberplace.social @giflian@techhub.social @gulfie@mastodonapp.uk @ItsThatDeafGuy@beige.party @julianlawson@beige.party @KaraLG84@dragonscave.space @Laura_2222@sunny.garden @mothninja@beige.party @Nickiquote@mstdn.social @Nikkileah@mendeddrum.org Papa Irish @RealAleRocks@mastodon.social @RolloTreadway@beige.party @roytoo@mstdn.social @sheepnik@toot.wales @slevelt@aus.social @sodslawyer@mstdn.social @steve199nwep@mastodon.me.uk @swisslet@mas.to @Thebratdragon@mastodon.scot @Troggie@beige.party @tygerkrash@mastodon.ie @WiteWulf@cyberplace.social And at least one them has sticky stuff on their hands that they claim is their "web". #ThePlaylist

NEXT WEEK on #ThePlaylist I'm off to Discworld Con in a couple of weeks, so next week I think it's only fair that the theme should be: The Discworld Songs about wizards, and flying turtles, and DEATH, and THE DEATH OF RATS, will abound. Or just songs about discs, or worlds. Are there any flat Earth bangers?

And yes, this *is* the FULL 5:44 of this magnificent slice. #ThePlaylist

Why yes, this *is* a different version. And the personnel list is just stupid. #ThePlaylist
