Still In A Dream - A Story of Shoegaze (2016 Creation Records boxset)

Info:  «For many Creation is the label that defined the shoegazing sound. From the Mary Chain through to Ride and Slowdive via My Bloody Valentine and The House of Love, Creation released the records that are always top of any shoegazing lists. There can’t be any article or list on the genre that doesn’t mention Souvlaki, Nowhere and Loveless. It’s a musical genre that was worshipped by the UK music press for a short period in 1991 only to be followed by an onslaught of derision when bands like Nirvana and Suede started having big chart hits. (...) now for the first time a box set is to be released that captures most of those bands together with many rarities you may never have heard before, including Creation bands like Medicine, Moonshake and a pre-Creation The Boo Radleys» (from Creation Records website).

Glastonbury 2016 - The Spotify Poster Playlist

Info: Glastonbury organizers tweeted the first poster of the 2016 edition of the festival, that will be held at Worthy Farm (Pilton, Somerset, UK) from the 22nd to the 26th of June. The poster has been drawn by Stanley Donwood and presents 73 acts, with Muse, Adele and Coldplay as headliners. This is a "poster playlist" of the festival: it includes one song for each artist in the poster. It's a greatest hits playlist, too: I picked the most popular song on every artist's Spotify page (on 30th March 2016). With an interesting mash up result: some songs are recent, some are oldies, some are remixes. Since this is a "poster's playlist", I followed the poster's order, starting from the central column (the order is slightly different on Glastonbury website).
