Creating and curating your playlists

[twosuitsluke]

How the fuck do you guys have time to do anything other than make playlists?

These are playlists that I've slowly built over time. I generally just add to them and then give them a clear out every now and then. It's honestly not much work.

I've been making them in some form or another since I was 13 and got a "boombox" that had two tape decks, so I could record from tape to tape, CD to tape, radio to tape, or microphone to tape.  The form that shifted over the years, but the idea of making mixtapes of some sort has been there a long time.  Some I just add to as I come across or think of songs, or if I get a new idea I just create one (a couple of my recent threads have related to versions of them).  It's just an ongoing thing, it's not like it was all created at once.  Same way someone builds any sort of collection, just that these are more of virtual compilations of lists.  And there's no reason I can't listen to music while doing it, it's more fuel for them.

It's this your way of trying to justify why you haven't listened to my massive King Gizzard playlist yet? The longer you put it off, the more albums they release, the larger it gets, just saying.

Between the first third of that and their two albums this year, that's like 50 songs, I can only take so much at once.

This post on hacker news sounds like a wonderful idea, and made me think of twosuitsluke:

I do this thing with a small group of friends, where we drive like 3-4 grands worth of speakers and room correction DSP (Genelec and DSpeaker) to a summer cottage every 6-8 weeks or so. The place, a big log cabin, happens to have wonderful acoustics.

And we just sit back, mostly STFU and listen to a selection of music for an entire evening, DJ:ed by me (I accept requests), and we eat good food. There's no background music, when we cook, eat or clean, because we want to rest our ears for the main sessions.

The next day, we drive back, I check everything we listened to from Last.fm, and I create a Spotify playlist of the event, which we all save.

Most people look at me like I知 insane when I describe this activity.

This sounds like a perfectly acceptable use of time. I wish my friends that live close by had the same appreciation for music that I do, cause I would totally do something like this.

This sounds awesome, but I think I壇 rather do this by myself because there痴 no way anyone else I know would want to spend a weekend listening to music (much less my music).

Yea dude, I fucking wish my friends would see this as time well spent, in the same way I do!

I tell you what, if you end up moving to Scotland, I'll move there too and we'll just do weekly music listening parties in the middle of nowhere in the Highlands
