A unique playlist to listen to. Loved the first three songs, although the vocals on Sad Lovers & Giants was way too low in the mix. Is that how they usually sound? A bit distracting on an otherwise solid tune.
Great twofer with Caribou and Cults. I never know what to make of Caribou. Some songs click, and then others I find flat out boring. Really liked your selection though.
But I really don't like Sparks; the vocals are just too grating for me. Nice to hear the B-52's, but not sure what happened with your version here. It ended, and then the next track started before being cut off. Totally disrupted the flow.
Great to see Husker Du; I'm not gonna complain about Bob Mould being included. The next two songs put a minor damper on things but you followed that with a superb run from Liz Phair to GEMS, and I'll echo what others said on the latter - that was a great track to discover.
Metronomy was also a good new song to hear, although again, it seemed like it went to the next track before ending, and not sure if anyone else had an issue with the Belle & Sebastian song, but it skipped all over the place for me. Perhaps a simple download issue there.
Regarding the foreign language songs, I think you did a good job inserting them at decent moments. They personally wouldn't be something I'd go back to a lot, but from an overall playlist perspective they worked. I liked the Paolo Conte song the best.
Your ending pair of Caravan and Jethro Tull was another highlight. Sneaking a little prog in always works for me!
So this playlist had a little bit of everything, and I will say that apart from the errors I encountered, the flow and sequencing were top notch. I didn't like everything on there, but it came together very well.
