London 2012 Olympics Playlist

From Stereogum, again:

"British director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) was tasked with picking a playlist for the upcoming Olympic opening ceremony in London, and his 86-track playlist has leaked online, according to The Telegraph. Notable: It’s probably a deliberate choice that members of the Queen’s Jubilee Court — knighted folks like Elton John and Paul McCartney — were left off. Though it hasn’t been officially confirmed, the playlist doesn’t jive with a certain Spice Girl. “We literally flew the flag — and Geri even wore it — around the globe,” Mel C, AKA Sporty Spice, told The Mirror. She’s got a point. Check out (listen to) the full playlist below".

72/86 tracks available.
No Beatles, no Led Zeppelin, no Pink Floyd, as spoti-usual.

Stereogum's Indie Songs of the Summer 2012

Two months without writing or playlisting anything. Sorry, sometimes real life steals your fantasy life. I don't know if I will find a way to get regular again, here on Spotirama, but today I read this little list on Stereogum and I thought: "uhm, why not?". So it is... a little summer indie playlist: 12 songs, with just one missing (Azealia Banks' Jumanji). Enjoy!

P.S. You can vote your favourite summer song on Stereogum.
