Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 at 11:33am |
In the first of what will hopefully be a regular feature, we look back at some of the playlists that have caught our attention in the previous month. Here's some of the highlights from February.
T in the Park 2010
The T in the Park line-up was announced this month and this playlist collects together some of the greatest hits and biggest singles from the superstars that will be in Scotland this summer. A perfect way to build the excitement if you have your tickets and if not, have a listen and then get them booked!
90s Indie and Britpop
I’m a sucker for the nineties and the indie and Britpop scenes that dominated music in the UK. This very comprehensive playlist gathers together nearly 300 tracks from 1989 to 2000. You will find tracks from all the big hitters such as Blur, Oasis, Stone Roses, Radiohead and Pulp as well as a treasure chest of forgotten gems, ‘I Would Fix You’ by Kenickie anyone?
Drum and Bass Part Six
If you want less guitars and more bass and beats, then this playlist is the one for you. The latest in a very good series does what it says on the tin and is strictly drum and bass. At nearly 100 tracks it features all styles whether you want to chill out or get the party started.
Rave Megamix
Another one to get the party started but for those of a more nostalgic disposition, specifically for the rave anthems of the early and mid nineties. If you were a fan, then indulge once more, if not then discover the club sound from back in the day. Get the whistles and glow sticks out!
The Soundtrack to January 2010
Here is a handy guide to what you should have been listening to in January from new singles and albums to new bands and award shows. My personal favourites are ‘We Want War’ from These New Puritan’s excellent new album ‘Hidden’ and ‘Bitch’, a strutting, chic track from French girl band the Plasticines.
Gorillaz Playlist
Gorillaz are back with a new album ‘Plastic Beach’ and to celebrate, here is a short playlist by Murdock from the band containing a couple of classic Gorillaz tracks and songs ranging from Nancy Sinatra to the Horrors via the Beach Boys and the Kinks.
What’s in a Name?
This is a really fun one, over 250 tracks from all genres that use people’s names for the titles. Discover tracks you may never have known existed named for you and your friends! They are even in alphabetical order so you can search easily.
Glee – Original Versions
This playlist collects together the original artist versions of songs from the hit television show about a high school glee club. If you watch the show, you will know this contains everything from the classics from musicals to old school hip hop.
Skins Season 3
This is another TV show playlist and it has most of the eclectic tracks heard on the current series of the teen drama. Sadly not all of the drum and bass, dubstep and other electronic tracks from the series are on Spotify but this still has a lot of variety.
Depeche Mode – Tour of the Universe Set List
Depeche Mode are a classic British group and their latest gig at Wembley Arena only happened after Dave Gahan had an operation on a tumour. This playlist is the set list from that gig and include the classics ‘Enjoy the Silence’ and ‘Personal Jesus’.
