Over the years many “playlists” have been produced, often curated by musicians, bands, labels or music magazines and such like.
Some of these may have been printed, or added to services which aren’t as open or forever as ListenBrainz so I will often recreate these playlists that I find (often in magazines and such like) into ListenBrainz so that everyone can enjoy them for years to come.
Many of these are a nice insight into music tastes at the time, or maybe represent the feeling of flicking through your favourite artists record collection or scrolling through their iPod!
Anyway, I thought I’d start this relatively casual thread to share these playlists, and discuss them (maybe, no pressure).
The first one I’d like to bring your attention to is the Junk Drawer Jukebox series, which is a series of public posts from Claire Hughes on Facebook. Claire buys/obtains broken iPod’s and brings them back to life, but before wiping them back to factory settings she takes a quick delve into the previous owners listening habits and creates 15-20 track playlists of their most popular tracks.
So far we’ve got Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 on ListenBrainz, and there’s a few more that she’s released recently that I need to add.
Enjoy, and hopefully this becomes a cool little thread ![]()
