So, just out of curiosity, do you consider the idea of anonymous playlists to be a good one?

i guess, although for a lot of people i think it'll be obvious who it is. i mean, i think looking at my playlist, it's pretty obvious it's mine. anonymous playlists might prevent favouritism, but in a lot of cases, you can always tell who's playlist is who's.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

wow, i posted a lot this evening.

 

[LemonMelon]

OK, one more LMP-related complaint and I'm done, because I like him personally and his list really isn't bad:

He included the Aimee Mann version of One (Is The Loneliest Number). Her version is garbage compared to the original Three Dog Night version. But hey, what a shock, it's from a soundtrack! He's probably never heard the original.

Would you have known mine was mine if my name wasn't attached?

I know what you mean. Honestly, how are people NOT going to know who uploaded some of them?

"Agalloch, Porcupine Tree, Neil Finn, The Shadows...MUST BE CUTE IRISH BONO!"

i could've guessed, only because 2/3 of the bands listed in your profile are on the playlist but other than that not really.

 

[Screwtape2]

I think LemonMacPhisto is going to win it all again. The best playlists are really pushing Interference. No one is making a greatest hits collection except LMP. Every playlist I've seen has a few songs that people won't like including my own.

the only way i could ever participate in an anonymous desert island is if i did no duran duran and no finns whatsoever. and that'd be hard

my playlist would be totally different if i couldn't include any of them, and people could probably still guess it was mine

 

[the tourist]

My goodness I don't like some of Bono212's picks. Blink 182. Really?

 

[LemonMelon]

Obvious signs of an Axver playlist:


- Presence of The Beatles, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, and The Beach Boys

- No concept of any kind

Wait...

Um, I don't really think his playlist is even good.

it's a shame.

Have you ever thought maybe you should vote for the other person because they spent more time than going through soundtracks to find their playlists?

I have.

 

[Cin]

oh my gawd, I can't believe you've been talking about setlists for hours
I set up a loverly Island destination for you and everything. . .

 

[LemonMelon]

Um, I don't really think his playlist is even good.

You're going to be in the minority, I fear.



But, to be fair, he only has 5 songs from soundtracks this time out.

I have.

So you like the idea of not thinking this through? That's what I get from that statement.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

all this soundtrack discussion has got me to thinking...am i the only one who doesn't really have a lot of soundtracks? i have ~6-7 soundtracks. that's it.

 

[LemonMelon]

I have.

Yeah, I've felt bad about that. I see these really impressive-looking lists and then look at my own and...yeah. Guilt creeps up.



BTW, I feel like an idiot for saying he didn't know Three Dog Night's version of One...his playlist has a song by that band right on it.

 

[Screwtape2]

So you like the idea of not thinking this through? That's what I get from that statement.

No I mean I will tend to vote for something that had more effort. Too much of LMP's choices come from soundtracks. I just wonder sometimes if the deciding factor in a close match should be that lack of effort.

His playlist reads like something one of those pretentious Pitchfork motherfuckers would've come up with.

I have The Blues Brothers, Grease, Oh Brother Where Art Though, The Commitments I & II, Forrest Gump and that's about it. But if we were talking about Best of's. . . . .oh mama, I've got a bunch of those

Same here. Forrest Gump, The Spy Who Shagged Me, Superfly (which may or may not count), Rattle & Hum...uh...and maybe just a few others.

I've got about that many.
