The Longest Mixtape - 1000 Songs For You (a playlist by Caribou, in progress)

Caribou gifted the world a 1000-song YouTube playlist.

The last few years of my life have been incredible, thanks in large part to all of you - so I've been thinking of how to say thank you.

As you can imagine, music has been a central love of my life since I was a teenager and over the years I've been introduced to a lot that has stayed with me. I've collected the majority of that music here – and I thought sharing it with you seemed like one way I could say thanks.

I think there are people (one easy shot: me) who'd like to listen to this nice playlist on Spotify. And I guess crazy long tasks like this one are exactly what Spotirama was born for. :-)
So I'm spotifyin' it and I will regularly publish updates on this page.

Slowly, but steadily.

Enjoy!

(and don't forget Caribou's advice: "please listen to this playlist on shuffle")

David Bowie 100 Greatest Songs (Mojo, 2015)

From Mojo February 2015 issue:

From The London Boys to 'Tis A Pity She Was A Whore, The World of David Bowie to The Next Day, Ziggy Stardust to The Thin White Duke, MOJO writers and staff delve into the history, subtext, esoterica and strange sounds that make up a remarkable 50-plus year career of innovation, reinvention and boundless genius. There are so many remarkable Bowie songs. Consider this the first hundred.

In the long cover story, MOJO also talks with Bowie confidantes and collaborators (Robert Fripp, Carlos Alomar, Reeves Gabrels, Ken Scott...) and looks back on the making of The Man Who Sold The World (Bowie's "the first great LP").

Enjoy!

P.S. After the full songs list, you find some stats about this Top 100 (charts by albums, by decades...)

NME 50 Best Songs & 50 Best Albums of the Decade (So Far)

British weekly NME just compiled a a Top50 songs and a Top50 albums of the decade so far. As you may guess from the picture, these lists are dominated by Arctic Monkeys (two songs, two albums #1 album) and Kanye West (two songs, three album, #1 song). Quite interestingly, there are some differences between these Top50s and the Top50 of year 2014 recently published by the same magazine. For example, here Jamie T's Zombie makes a big jump, becoming #2 song of 2014 after Future Islands' Seasons (in the 2014 chart, it was only #8). While La Roux's Trouble In Paradise - #6 album in the 2014 chart - simply disappears from the best of the decade. Another interesting fact, these are not charts for old men. Few artists are long-time players, from the 1990s and before: David Bowie, Nick Cave, Noel Gallagher, Blur, Daft Punk. Last trivia: 98% of songs and albums are available on Spotify. 

Enjoy!

Rip It Up and Start Again by Simon Reynolds (The Spotify Complete Booktrack)

Wikipedia says that "Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978–1984 is a book by Simon Reynolds on the music genre post-punk". It was released in February 2006, published by Faber & Faber and described by The Observer as "a compelling reminder of a time when clever, mischievous, creative people formed bands" and by The New York Times as "exhaustive and exhausting in equal measure".

On Amazon.com it is presented as "the first book to take a big-picture view of the entire post punk period", recreating "a time of tremendous urgency and idealism in pop music. Full of anecdote and insight, and featuring the likes of Joy Division, The Fall, Pere Ubu, PiL and Talking Heads, Rip It Up And Start Again stands as one of the most inspired and inspiring books on popular music ever written".

On Good Reads, 4,009 ratings and 219 reviews bring it up to a solid four star rating.

Personally, Rip It Up has been one of my favourite reads of 2014. It took me almost one year (Italian edition of the book is 700 pages long) and it has been enriched by a deep and passionate music listening. I discovered many stories, artists, albums and songs I didn't know.

While reading it, I also built a playlist with all the songs mentioned in the book that I found on Spotify. The result is this majestic & bizarre 785-song mammoth. Being rather philological, it can also look somehow confusing: it collects all the songs Simon Reynolds wrote about, including those not strictly related to post-punk, like Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run, Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas or Frank Zappa's Tengo na minchia tanta (do you know what does it mean in italian/sicilian? :-)).

I don't think this playlist should be considered as a "post-punk greatest hits". Actually it's a detailed soundtrack of the book, capturing all the atmospheres, preferences & aversions of the author. I love it, sometimes I still shuffle it and I hope you may find it useful.

Enjoy.
