juneflow
A playlist that, at this point, means 6 hours heads-down for me.
On spotify: juneflow
juneflow is
one of my oldest public playlists. It started as a complete
copy of a spotify playlist called Tranquility with a Beat - it
was a great playlist at the time, but a week or two after
finding it, spotify updated the playlist - that's their
feature, I suppose. I didn't like the change - I missed the
originals I'd fallen for, so I pulled what I could from
memory. Over time, I added and filtered more, until it reached
it's current state.
Unfortunately some of the tracks on here leave spotify from time to time, because the artists refactors their tracks/albums, or leaves spotify altogether. The lost tracks' ghosts are forever mourned with a faded title, and a jolt in the flow that once was.
Stars
You think you know what love is?
This song has gone on to be one of my all time favorites - it's hard to buy into the goofy build up, the man stepping from behind the tree, and the chorus of people showing us the way to the stars.
Pussy - Brazilian Girls
This song is added to remind me to take a freaking break. When it comes on, it means walk away from the computer, as you've probably been sitting here for too long.
Backlinks
Since starting this note, spotify has switched to default-public playlist style so suddenly, all my playlists are being published (the ones since then, anyway). Though it seems they don't all get added to my profile.
Still - there should be some curation/indexing of ones worth sharing (vs those incubating in the compost heap (yikes mixed metaphor)).

I publish playlists on spotify, usually a few per week. Do other people do that? I suppose I don't go digging. For me, it's like journaling - a way to group and condense new songs from discover weekly, and mix in old songs that I go looking for over the course of a week.
In the end, I have a slew of songs with odd names based on whatever was happening that week. Over time, they mix and meld into some shareable lists, which are available on my profile as well as listed here.
