clicking on their album and letting it rip in its intended order (i’m sure this is more fun with physical media) and repeat. currently playing the king krule’s entire catalogue solely because i was feeling nostalgic about six feet beneath the moon and couldn’t stop there…
This isn’t really a suggestion of a specific artist but just a similar thing I like to do. Periodically I’ll work through discographies of artists with a ton of albums. It started when I wanted to put Beach Boys on shuffle but they have a lot of stinkers, mixed with a lot of gold. Other peoples playlists usually missed a lot of good stuff and just included hits, or they were just whole discography pasted into a playlist. So I went chronologically through picking everything I would want to hear if I put the artist on shuffle. Not every song is necessarily a banger but they’re all good and non-skip. Along with having a custom artist playlist, I ended up really enjoying following the evolution of the band and also learned a lot more of the lore. I started doing this for a lot of artists, especially ones that have the same issue of not being able to just press shuffle on their page. Sometimes I end up doing an artist with almost no skips but that ends up kind of being less fun. I like the crate-digging deep cut discovery aspect. Anyways I highly suggest the practice of doing a chronological discog listen and compiling your own Best Of Box Set. Attached is my Beach Boys playlist.
i’ve been enjoying listening to whole albums lately, but sometimes overwhelmed at the prospect of picking one out. someone made this randomizer for your spotify library and it’s been really nice to use so far (i know spotify sucks, hoping to switch it over one of these days)
two women next to me on the train are having an insightful heart to heart. a guy behind me is clearly flirting with this girl and you can tell it’s mutual. we all have rich, rich inner lives :)
