Shuke's Spotify Playlist
Why am I doing this? Great question. I don't remember when, but at some point in our history together as FBG personalities, I became convinced that Shuke was the perfect dance partner for comedic fodder and I like to think that the two of us have done our parts to provide some laughter to this great community over the years. At the very least, our waistlines have suffered in attempts to make you all smile.
But we also share a lot of tastes in things like good beers, sports (we both LOVE the Kentucky Derby and think opening day of March Madness should be a national holiday), grilling, getting outdoors with our kids and especially an affinity for good music, which is what brings us here today. After completing the herculean task of assembling 1012 of his favorite songs from 1012 different artists, I only felt it right to give the online Abbott to my Costello a proper tribute and show my respect for his hard work.
So yesterday, at 3:30pm PT as I awaited the arrival of my train, I put my earbuds in, opened Spotify, fired up the Shuke 1000 and hit "Shuffle". What will follow is my reaction to each song as I work my way through it, one song at a time. I'll be listening to these songs as I commute to work and home via train/walking, sit alone in the office or am at home cooking, grilling or doing dishes (my only alone time at home which is very rare with a family of 7). I'll be making notes as I go so I can revert to them.
I am 11 songs deep and I'll spend more time on certain songs than I will on others. In some instances, I'll be offering alternative songs that are my favorite from that artist, but many of these songs and artists are completely new to me, which is awesome and why I'm so interested in doing this. When I come across a new song that I like, it'll earn a green heart and will get added to my favorites on Spotify for future listening and research. If I come across a song I don't like or know already and don't want to hear again, it'll get the skip treatment. I will praise where praise is due and mock accordingly where warranted.
Ready?
