Old RR Blogs Got Spotified....

Erm. Hullo. I dont know if anybody else did this already but I've created a set of Spotify playlists with links to as many songs nominated in each old blog as possible. If you're interested, links below. So far I've only done 2005's RR columns. Rest to follow....

Spotify tends to update by the nano-second (!) so feel free to copy and update your own, I'll revisit them eventually myself.

Hope this is of use and enjoyment....

Blimey, fourfoot, your dedication to duty never ceases to amaze me.

You and Marconius BOTH deserve medals.

[HA! Was just about to hit PUBLISH YOUR COMMENT when I realised I'd missed the 'd' out of medals. That would've confused ya!]

:o)

saneshane said...

fantastic dedication.. again.

(have you done Duets yet? - I've got the fealing I've seen a lot of this weeks before!
it's page 163 of the book... I thought it was 05)

fourfoot said...

Not got round to duets yet. Only just started 2006....

It's an excuse to actually listen to some of the stuff instead of what I did before which was make a mental note to download it, forget about it etc....

Anyway glad you like it.

My dedication is going to cost me my sanity/marriage/degree!

saneshane said...

How long 'til you finish your degree?..
seems to have been going for ever from this side, dread to think how it feels from your side!

when RR started I tried to do a cd of the final 10 and 80 mins of my collection that vaguely fitted each theme (my son had just been born.. I had a lot of awake time!)

looking through these, I even got my friends to compile bad weather and protest cds, they didn't get quite as hooked.

Hello, fourfoot! What a nice day with Catcher and Fourfoot showing up again.

Very much looking forward to listening, because I wasn't around for any of these.

ToffeeBoy said...

Fourfoot - this is a magnificent piece of work. Dare I suggest that Marco might want to link to these from the relevant pages in his site? How joined up would that be?

fourfoot said...

Yeah I'll email Marco the links or something. I started these with the advent of this year's hayfever...

Re: my degree. One year to go!! On track for a first too which is obviously fantastic for me - hopefully twelve months time the job picture will look a lot rosier for everyone!

I havent been inspired by a theme in ages - just been doing these. I've nominated a couple this week though..

eBay said...

Again fourfoot, amazing and thanks for this!

ejaydee said...

No, not eBay...

Fourfoot - that's fantastic stuff. Your original spreadsheet provided me with much of the material in the RR Index so I really want to thank you for that. Tried emailing you with the only email address I had for you a while back but it came back.

In any event, I'll start adding these links to the the topic pages.

I've just been adding to your original spreadsheet but not with all the details you had such as album sources, genres, etc. I can ermail you the updated spreadsherts if you want them.

fourfoot said...

My email is jenkinspb@hotmail.co.uk.

I did have a fourfoot one but I broke it!

Nah - keep the spreadsheet. My work is done!

I'm making some decent headway into the 2006 topics and finding stuff I'd never heard before and getting lost in it. How I spent this long without knowing 22nd Century by Nina Simone and Pill Hill Serenade by Mark Lanegan I will never know....
