According to Spotify, my most played artist is: Bob Dylan. There’s a surprise.
Their categories are odd. This is the breakdown.
I’ve listened to: 30% Folk Rock; 21% Singer-Songwriter; 17% Merseybeat (what?); 17% British Invasion; 17% Folk.

The Clash are all over the place at the moment because of their new album release. You can hear interviews with the surviving members here on Spotify. TBH, I’d rather just listen to London Calling, but some people may be interested.

I have some neat new headphones and yesterday tried them out on Spotify. I know most people have moved on from Spotify but I still have the old free version and although I hadn’t used it for ages, my playlists were still safely stored. Almost. My favourite list is the one I call the LJ 100 and you can see it here.

Since I last listened to this great list, Bob Dylan has disappeared completely and Graceland is sung by Willie Nelson instead of Paul Simon. This is bizarre. Have copyright laws changed in the last three years? Luckily I was canny enough to sneak in a few Dylan covers and still comply with the rules of the meme.

This is an absolutely fiendish meme which originated with [livejournal.com profile] loganberrybunny and which I got from [livejournal.com profile] huskyteer. Here are the rules:
Create a Spotify playlist containing exactly 100 songs. There are no limits on genres, content, length etc. Instrumentals are fine. However, you may only choose one song per artist, and one artist per song.

I love Spotify (it's free!) but I've only used it to play something I fancy hearing or that someone has recommended. Thanks to technical help from kind hearted [livejournal.com profile] huskyteer I have at last compiled this playlist of 100 songs. It's hard to choose! It's just today's list! And here's just some of the things I couldn't have:

Any Beatles
Kate Bush, Running Up That Hill
John Lennon, Jealous Guy
Bill Oddie, Harry Krishna
Alexei Sayle, Hello John, Got a New Motor?
Sonny and Cher, I Got You Babe
The Eagles, Desperado
The Move
The Roches, Bad For Me
Mike Sarne, Come Outside
The Teddy Bears, To Know, Know, Know Him
Richard Thompson, See My Friends
Leroy van Dyke, Walk On By
Mireille Mathieu, La Dernière Valse
