Brave Sir Robin Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) 22 minutes ago, JHad said: I saw a tweet from a music industry person (can't remember who) suggesting it was created by a developer as a test who then forgot to remove it. They provided absolutely no evidence to back this up, of course. Anyway, if that is the case, that developer had a damn fine taste in music! It ('Chamber Psych') seems to have no existence outside of Spotify and the playlist @Chawk posted above. It also seems to have worked as a marketing tool to get lots of people with such fine taste talking about Spotify. I feel Reply-All should make a podcast out of this.

If so then I guess they're right I’d love to know the criteria for this genre. How anyone could put the Lovely Eggs together with BC Camplight is beyond me. There’s some goodies in this list and then some utter drivel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danjamesbaker Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Here’s mine.. Radiohead in there despite only having one Radiohead song in my top 100 played of the year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney McGrew Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) The first time I've ever looked at me Wrapped... I've listened to Matt Berry's Rainbow theme more than I thought! What the flip is Chamber Psych? I was a pioneer as far as Cornershop's Highly Amplified goes, which is nice as it's a tune! Good stuff, Bowie won (top 0.5% of listeners!).

Stokesy10 Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Guessing there's no way at looking at previous years' Wrapped? My 'minutes listened' have dropped dramatically which saddens me, given the year I've/we've had and how music gets me through so much. However, I have discovered more new artists than in previous years. I've had a weird block this year listening to music less frequently than before - this is 100% linked to the Glasto disappointment.

hfuhruhurr Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 That didn't go well. Two issues: 1) Wife & daughter must be sneakily listening to George Ezra (came in at #2 - yes, a steamy #2 - between Clutch and Rammstein 2) It says our favourite track was Wild Horse/Rolling Stones - listened to it 23 times, all on 21st June - methinks he lies, or we played it once on repeat and then spent the afternoon in the garden while our peace lily was being tortured.

Yes Deezer have done an equivalent and my top artists are basically the ones we went to gigs at the start of the year. We just played a lot of stuff on repeat for a few weeks. Even left them on for the dogs when we went out so it's not necessarily representative of what we listened to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the Deezer one pretty uninformative tbh. Although it did tell me that, based on average tempo, my music animal is a cat. Which was nice to know.

I was a cat as well which I strongly objected to and assumed it was because my most listened to artist was The Lounge Kittens. Yes it was a poor man's version of the Spotify one and my top 3 tracks were all from the same artist Liz Lawrence which will be because I saw her twice this year live.

I don't get it - I only listened to two of their songs. I was top 0.5% for Four Tet. I did listen to Mr Hebden a lot. My top 3 songs are his tracks. Really turned me on to a lot of other electronic artists too... Jon Hopkins, Caribou, Bicep, Floating Points, Bonobo, SquarePusher etc, and also rediscovering a love of Aphex Twin that had been forgotten long ago.

blutarsky Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Anyone who likes getting their wrapped might like last.fm too. If you haven’t heard of it, it logs all your listens across all time. It basically gives you Spotify Wrapped on a weekly basis, plus makes recommendations as a result. Here’s my profile, complete with sporadic use between 2005 and 2012, when I had to remember to activate the plug in to log listens, and a few years gap when I didn’t use the plug in before the whole process got automated and I logged everything. https://www.last.fm/user/willtopps Edited December 13, 2020 by blutarsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
