The Friday Playlist

This week’s Spotify playlist pulls in a few songs from the Arts & Books Barometer, though the vagaries of Spotify and the record industry mean that all those tracks aren’t on there. Aside from these I threw in a bunch of the most played songs from my iPod in the last week or two, including two of my all-time favourite songs; “Louie Louie” (the original version) and “This Must Be The Place”, since you ask.

Here’s the tracklist…

Collector – Here We Go Magic
The Death of Ferdinand De Saussure – The Magnetic Fields
Louie Louie – Richard Berry and the Pharaohs
Ship of Promises – Villagers
Tonight – Smith Westerns
Train In Vain – The Clash
Tram 21 – Electrelane
This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) – Talking Heads
Shelia – Atlas Sound
All Together Now – Andre 3000
Shutterbugg – Big Boi
Surprise Hotel – Fool’s Gold
Home – LCD Soundsystem
Save It For Later – The Beat
Memory Lane (Sittin’ In Da Park) – Nas
You Can’t Be Funky – Bush Tetras
Hey You – The Pharcyde
Hong Kong Garden – Siouxsie And The Banshees
Willie – Cat Power
My Maudlin Career – Camera Obscura
Autumn Sweater (remixed by Kevin Sheilds) – Yo La Tengo
Lost In Music – The Fall

  Enjoyed listening to the playlist. I was using the free version and so had to put up with the odd advert interruption. As a newbie to Spotify, does anyone have a link to a decent guide to getting the most out of it?
