Our Canadian Indie Stream of Consciousness playlist continues on for Playlist Friday today. It began in September 2016 with 20 songs that I started it with and we added to it. We then added on to it again in November and December and ended up with 95 songs. After a few months break, I thought I would bring it back to see where we could go with it from there.
To recap, I began with Caught Up which led to Turn Up The Volumes on to Turn Your Love then to Your Master’s Wishes. Do you see where we are going with this yet? You find a common word in one title that is in another title. Kiss Me When I Bleed and Fight and Kiss have kiss in common for example. Next I found a song with Fight in it, sort of. I used Get Fighted for the next song. That was the start of the stream. The end of the stream was No Milk, No Sugar…No Sleep….Sing Me To Sleep…Sing Me Spanish Techno…Wear Me Away. Now we are looking for a song with Wear or Away to carry on our stream of consciousness. Help me out won’t you?
Good morning. I’m not here, gone riding to have a few looks at the Rideau River gently overflowing its banks.
Frig, Benoît you tease, don’t leave us all hanging like that!
Hello
Hello hello!
Hey there!
How is the Rideau looking today Benoit
garf: normal. The Large Hole at Rideau Street was filled in and consolidated, etc., a few months back. Work on establishing that line of the coming Light Rapid Transit (LRT) system is deep underground there, so one can’t tell a thing anymore, short of having a store in the area. I supposed there’s noise…
garf, I misunderstood your Rideau post.
The Rideau River has risen overnight, it’s probably 2-1/2 feet below spilling over the lip into the street just below me, but I expect the waters will only rise by (ahem, knock on wood, etc.) another foot or so.
Morning.
@DBS, I have the dog a pat on the head for you
gave even
Thanks Garf!
I just added Wearing It by Walrus. “It” would be the word in the title we are looking for now.
have we had Oh My God (It Still Means A Lot To Me) by The Wooden Sky yet? (or is that cheating?)
Not cheating in my books. It is there in the title.
That gives us lots of words to work with too. 🙂
I wasn’t sure if there was a rule on words in parenthesis
I have very loose rules. Wear/Wearing for example.
Could we use My Old Man by Mac DeMarco as the next one?
We sure can!
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down by The Band next?
I will accept that!
are these word connections?
so we could use Down by the River by the National Parcs ?
Yes words in the title.
And yes we can and I did. Thanks!
and then Green River by whatstheirnames
Creedence Clearwater Revival?
CCR? Canadian?
No, they are American
I do have some rules. They must be from Canadian artists, Indie preferably but not exclusively.
no, the tosta mista band
hooded fang
Well that makes more sense! Added.
that was my fault
I was thinking the same Garf.
I added Green Eyes by Plants and Animals.
Green Gardens, Cold Montreal by Sloan
I was just about to post that
Cold Guns Girls by Metric?
It’s Gold Gun Girls isn’t it?
Is it? I was cheating and using my CD database. I will check but yours sounds more likely
You are correct and I need to edit my database
in that case I offer
Cold Feet by Chris Kelly
Got it. 🙂
Sometimes I forget this is here
We will have to remind you from time to time. 😉
I think finding another feet song might be difficult, can we use cold twice?
Crow’s Feet by The Wilderness Of Manitoba ?
I have one. Barefeet on Wet Griptape by Chad VanGaalen.
Or not that difficult 🙂
Hehe. Now Crow might be harder.
I am okay with using a word twice though by the way.
I might switch them around so we can use Bare Wet or Griptape as well. hehe
Jennifer Castle has a track called Way Of The Crow
Okay then!
I’m lost. how does Crow fit into this, if Barefeet on wet griptape was the last song?
We had two feet songs. We will work from Way of the Crow now.
I am away for a few minutes. Keep thinking. 🙂
well, there’s Sentinel Crow by Quartette. Sentinel may be a hard word to find
or Till the Crows Come Home by spirit of the west
I’m new to spotify, like three minutes new. Why can’t I opt to play a playlist not on shuffle?
@MC, are you using a computer or a mobile device?
Mobile
You can only play in shuffle mode on mobile if you you don’t have a paid account
My god that’s backwards.
I am paying for Spotify these days. I had forgotten about that.
I went with Till The Crows Come Home.
I might have worded that badly
you can only play in playlist order if you pay otherwise you are stuck on shuffle
Is Anybody Home by Our Lady Peace
if you’ll allow this splitting
record body count by the Rheostatics
I never pay for software. If I’m coughing up good money for it, it’s got to be hard(hi-o)ware.
@Marie Curious – I am like that too but there was a deal and then with doing playlists for this and listening to albums for Polaris I decided to keep up the subscription for awhile. I do enjoy not getting the ads and being able to play my playlists in order on my phone though. I use Spotify a lot these days!
Haha I had to think about it krib. Sure why not!
it’s either that or someone needs to find a song with Anybody in the title
Is anybody out there by K’naan and Nelly Furtado?
I put them both on there because I can.
She’s power mad I tells ya
If the last song was Is anybody out there, can the next one be Out of my Head by Begonia?
anyone else getting redirected to open.spotify.com instead of play.spotify.com on the web player?
the interface on open… sucks
Was that to do with how I put it on the page? I should make sure I get that how it works best for people.
I am all for Out Of My Head Janet!
@Garf – Buahahaha
I’m off for now, have a great weekend!
Have a great weekend yourself Janet! Thanks for playing.
no, when I go to login using any browser except IE, it redirects play.spotify.com to open.spotify.com
open.spotify.com kinda sucks
Annoying. Spotify is far from perfect but it mostly works for my needs.
I’m still kickin’ it old school and getting my music from eMusic.
yes, it still exists
inside and out – feist
You are an old school kinda guy. I missed a whole era of technology. I know nothing about emusic.
I love it. It’s fairly cheap, and it’s full of all kinds of obscure stuff I’d probably never stumble across via any other means
Inside and Out added.
a bird flew inside the house – great lake swimmers
Nice!
Big Bird in a Small Cage by Patrick Watson
okay, time for me to make like a bird
ttfn
Bye krib. Have a great weekend!
