[Dr. Octopus]

Settled on my next playlist. A certain female who’s been on my hall pass list for the last decade.

Order will be a challenge.

Patti Smith?

Are you familiar with what a “hall pass” is?

Oh, I thought he said "hard pass." My bad.

No. Explain it to me.

Slowly.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Unsurprisingly, my top 2 artists in my Spotify Wrapped were the two artists I've done in these countdowns - although I do think both would have been Top 5 anyway.

1. Ryan Adams
2. Drive-By Truckers
3. Willie Nelson
4. Wilco
5. Grateful Dead

1. Ryan Adams
2. Drive-By Truckers
3. Willie Nelson
4. Wilco
5. Grateful Dead

Yeah my top 2 were from this exercise:

1. Beastie Boys - round 2

2. Genesis - round 1

3. De La Soul - earlier in the year after their catalog finally dropped

4. Doves - my favorite new to me group from the 1st round

5 - Rush - they’re pretty much in there every year

Thanks to Phish, Big Thief, and The Decembrists, Spotify thinks I’m from Burlington, VT.

 

[kupcho1]

LOL, the MAD rankings were a big impact on my top 5 artists as well:
1. The Decemberists
2. Talking Heads
3. The Hold Steady
4. Gorillaz
5. Big Thief

Apparently I'm also from Burlington, VT. WTF?

Lastly, if anyone can explain to me what #s 3 and 5 are below, well, TIA
1. Rock
2. Indie Rock
3. Crank Wave
4. Alternative Rock
5. Bubblegrunge

ETA: my top 5 songs were much more indicative of what I've been listening to this year but I think [gob] they've made a huge mistake [/gob].
I'll put it in as song zero

0. Feel Good by slowthai
1. I Don't Know What You See in Me by Belle & Sebastian
2. Tropic Morning News by The National
3. spite by Billy Nomates
4. Retributions Of An Awful Life by Heartworms
5. Sideways Skull by The Hold Steady

Yup. I've never gotten a recorded message from a band before. Is that new?

Opeth was unseated by Mastodon and Dino, so they were #3. My #4 and #5 were new, but also 2 artists that I have a playlist loaded for, so I won't say who they are.

I guess I listened to The Motherload about 130 times, and was in the top .005% of Mastodon listeners.

[kupcho1]

Sweet baby Ganesh, I spent 59,741 minutes on Spotify in the last 11 months. And that doesn't count podcasts.

 

[Ilov80s]

Sweet baby Ganesh, I spent 59,741 minutes on Spotify in the last 11 months. And that doesn't count podcasts.

Ummm…just about double that for me and yeah I don’t do podcasts on Spotify

 

[Don Quixote]

Wrap is interesting because I don’t use Spotify much outside these playlists.

I got Burlington, VT too because of Phish, Big Thief, and Dino Jr.

Top 2% of Jorge Ben Jor listeners in the world. Other top 5 artists were Nina Simone, The Police, Queen, and The Kinks.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I thought it was odd all 5 of my top 5 were Mastodon songs too, but I'm pretty sure they were the 5 songs in the middle of the playlist I hyped up: Motherload --> Ember City.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Top 5 genres:

Rock
Singer-Songwriter
Alternative Rock
New Wave
Classic Rock

They also think I'm from Burlington, VT.

Songs played: 4,735
Minutes listened: 32,135 (2,094 for my top artist)

Most-played songs:

1. Baba O'Riley by The Who (Thanks to British Countdown)
2. Catch the Sun by Doves (Thanks, @shuke )
3. Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield (Thanks to British Countdown)
4. Legacy by Mansun (Thanks, whoever picked it in the British Countdown)
5. Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd (thanks to British Countdown and Anarchy's Floyd Countdown)

Artists listened to: 1,335

Most-played artists:

1. Chicago -- in the top 0.05% of all listeners. Obviously thanks to MAD Artist Countdown 1.
2. The Jam -- Obviously thanks to MAD Artist Countdown 2.
3. Doves
4. Todd Rundgren
5. Genesis

Most listened to podcast: On Fire with Jeff Probst (top 16%)

 

[titusbramble]

4. Legacy by Mansun (Thanks, whoever picked it in the British Countdown)

You're welcome

 

[Pip's Invitation]

1. Chicago -- in the top 0.05% of all listeners. Obviously thanks to MAD Artist Countdown 1.

The end of my Wrapped had a thank-you message from Chicago trumpeter Lee Loughnane. Presumably that was sent to everyone who had them as their most listened-to artist.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

: my top 5 songs were much more indicative of what I've been listening to this year but I think [gob] they've made a huge mistake [/gob].

Mine had a song I’ve never heard of - so unless that always came on after I fell asleep, I don’t see how it’s possible.

The real five were
1. Maybe a Moment - Justin Townes Earle
2. Outfit - Drive-By Truckers
3. And It’s Still Alright - Nathaniel Rateliffe
4. Feats Don’t Fail Me Now - Little Feat
5.(6.) Do I Look Worried - Tedeschi Trucks Band

Not really sure how accurate that is either but it’s not outlandish like having some song by Perpetual Groove in there.

Röyksopp
9 - Monument feat Robyn

Röyksopp & Robyn "Monument" (Music Video)

The official music video for Röyksopp & Robyn's 'Monument' directed by Max Vitali off the mini album 'Do It Again.'Watch the behind-the-scenes here: https://...

m.youtube.com

TIE Version - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo6UnKr6Bwg&pp=ygUdcm95a3NvcHAgbW9udW1lbnQgdGllIHZlcnNpb24=

Year - 2014
Appears on - Do it Again EP plus the TIE version is on the Inevitable End LP
Vocalist - Robyn
Key Lyric - So that when the moment comes,
I can say I did it all with love
Love, love
All with love

Notes
1- The EP opens with "Monument", a 10-minute track inspired by the clay sculptures of Brazilian-American artist Juliana Cerqueira Leite that Robyn saw at London's Saatchi Gallery.[10] The song's minimal instrumentation consists of a "stretched-out" saxophone outro and synthesised bass,[11][12] while lyrically, Robyn stated it is "about death", "defining who you are" and "a physical sensation of an emotion"

2- According to Berge, the three of them were "in a particular place and space in our lives, where things were perhaps a bit bleak. So, in a way, we were all starting from square one, with no real intention other than to take our time and make what we wanted. And value every opinion, and I think that that translated well into the music."[6] The duo commented that Do It Again "doesn't sound like Röyksopp featuring Robyn or Robyn produced by Röyksopp, it's just something else entirely. The word 'collaboration' has never before been more justified in the world of music!"

[Dr. Octopus]

Yup. I've never gotten a recorded message from a band before. Is that new?

Wait Jeff Tweedy’s message wasn’t personal to me?

101,925 and I don’t do Podcasts on Spotify either.
I was in top 1%. I’m kind of a big deal.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Yup. I've never gotten a recorded message from a band before. Is that new?

Wait Jeff Tweedy’s message wasn’t personal to me?

Lol. Just never seen one of those. Is that new this year, or have I just not been a good enough listener in the past?

De La Soul gave me a personal thank you video - I was honored.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

They also think I'm from Burlington, VT.

Bozeman, MT for me.
I’ve lived in New York and New Jersey for my entire life. I’m thinking that may be a culture shock.

I miss Long Beach and I miss you babe
I miss dancing with you most of all
I miss the bar the Beach Boys would go
Dennis's last stop before Kokomo

 

[Mt. Man]

1. Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers (top 2% of all listeners)
2. Alice in Chains (round 1)
3. Decemberists (round 1, plus running the playlist a few times)
4. Rush (round 1, but this is... relatively normal)
5. The Police (round plus the British M-AD countdown)

Songs: 4,262. Minutes: 21,330

Bonus: I listened to 69 genres. Nice!

 

[rockaction]

By the way, I’m a “hero,” or maybe an “anti-hero.” Either way, I’m swashbuckling, no doubt.

 

[Don Quixote]

By the way, I’m a “hero,” or maybe an “anti-hero.” Either way, I’m swashbuckling, no doubt.

It seemed appropriate to me when it suggested anti-hero for “Quixote”.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

By the way, I’m a “hero,” or maybe an “anti-hero.” Either way, I’m swashbuckling, no doubt.

Like a smart Jack Sparrow.

 

[rockaction]

Like a smart Jack Sparrow.

Don’t sell Jack too short. He’s a bright fellow.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Like a smart Jack Sparrow.

Don’t sell Jack too short. He’s a bright fellow.

He gets the job done.

 

[Ilov80s]

1. Big Thief
2. Sufjan Stevens
3. The Smiths
4. Fred again.
5. Dinosaur Jr.

Huge influence from the MAD playlists obviously

 

[Zegras11]

52 genres
2,622 songs
64,464 hours (44 days)
825 artists

# 1 song - Sometime Around Midnight - Airborne Toxic Event.

First heard on one of the first MAD countdowns. Still hear almost everyday. Love that song.

#1 group - The Beatles - I'm in the top 0.01% of all Beatles listeners.

 

[Zegras11]

825 artists

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all you dummies for this number. Five years ago, I doubt that number was over 25.

 

[Raging weasel]

21,555 minutes
3437 songs
655 artists
44 genres - rock, stoner, Indie, singer-singwriter, alternative

Top artists
1) Clutch (top .05%)
2) Audioslave
3) Metric( top 1% and thanks video)
4) Soundgarden
5) The Pretty Reckless

I'm on the low end of things it seems but 5 years ago would probably be half the time and probably 50ish artists.
First time The Beatles or Iron Maiden didn't make my top 3

 

[KarmaPolice]

****, sorry. Working on the playlist now.

 

[zamboni]

Burlington, VT is a helluva town - glad to see it's getting the recognition it deserves.

ETA: so is Bozeman, MT from what I hear, but all I know about it is from Yellowstone.

 

[Mt. Man]

Selected favorites from the #9s. The 8s may be released by the time I’m finished writing this up, but them’s the breaks. It’s hard not to repeat myself talking about the quality of the lists, so let’s just get right to it.

–
Familiar songs:
A Small Victory - Faith No More
Gates of Babylon - Rainbow
Rider - The Seldom Scene - Not under this name, but yeah, definitely recognizable.
In The City - The Jam
Shadow on the Sun - Audioslave/Chris Cornell

New discoveries:
Myriad Harbor - New Pornographers
One Time One Night - Los Lobos
Not the Same - Ben Folds
Illegal Smile - John Prine
Monument - Royksopp

Shuffle Adventures:
There was a bit of a “cover” theme this round, and Shuffle hit it with (Clint Black and) The Pointer Sisters, then Kim Mitchell, then John Mellencamp. Of course, the last song is covered instead of being a cover. But still!

I often think of my wife when listening to songs - this one is no different but it's my go to song when we've been fighting and to remind her we are in this together - not to get too deep in to it but I have a great marriage and wonderful partner but we've had a tough year from external sources and her going through a health scare.

I'm on your side
Through thick and thin and any line
We'll cross divides, and we will stand in hope and light
But if you ain't alright, just remember
I'm on your side

I'm shocked that this didn't end up top 5. Once we reached the top 12 you could almost shuffle them in any order but this one I thought for sure would make top 5 when I started this exercise. It's just outstanding - I believe Rateliff has said this was written when he was still married to his wife (now ex-wife) during his travels on the road and during his alcoholism.

Were you up all night afraid of what the future might bring?

[Mt. Man]

#8 Flowerin’ (off Native Heart, 2017)

I ain't worried 'bout what Jesus may be
Thinkin' of my soul
I'm barefoot on a silver string
My faith is rock 'n' roll
Some say our paths may intersect
Some say he walks beside me
Though I 'preciate that kindly, sir
Still, I miss David Bowie

(Fan Video done in Lego. No, really.) Flowerin’ by Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers

That’s guests Jon Villa (aka The Jon’s) and Javier Games on Trumpet. Also be on alert for a break from the song’s regular format (as much as "regular" applies here) when Clyne sings “I feel the people fill the darkness up with silly love songs” in the style of, well, “Silly Love Songs” by Wings.

And I’ve lost krista4…

Why I chose this:
Tastes vary, and honestly I have no idea what the general reception to this list is. That said, if this song doesn’t get you moving at least a little, you might want to check your pulse. This one’s been particularly catchy for me, as you might expect of something in the Top 10. It’s “simply” a song to improve your mood, with a bit of that appreciation for life I’ve mentioned a few times, including for #9 Hello New Day.

There’s a couple of genres at play here past the “usual”, including roots rock (Rusted Root perhaps specifically). Then again, I’ve already mentioned Bowie and Wings/Beatles in this writeup. So it’s not like the band doesn’t already show its influences and inspirations on its proverbial sleeves.

Speaking of influences, for #7 I’ll mention Bob Marley again. See you then!

Yo Mama Talkin'
I was worried after the new (at the time) IP/sampling laws that the Beaste Boys would have a hard time living up to their previous greatness. But once I heard this first track, I knew I was in for a kick-butt album. There was some sampling but they needed to get approvals first this time (including from the Jimi Hendrix family since the song was meant as a tribute him and used a couple of his songs). It of course also has a portion from our MAD friends Cheap Trick to kick things off.
