Slow Down on These Super Specialty Spotify Playlists
Writer Grace Spelman assembles songs as if they were Lego in a carefully sorted tackle box. She has over 20 Spotify playlists that have a specific concept like False Start / False Endings , 2000s Dialogue Opening and her outstanding opus Songs for Short Attention Spans , which features over 200 songs that “completely switch in the middle.” … Find out more about her hobbies in the video interview for The Outline above.
Spelman also has a variety of more typical mood playlists, such as sleepy music and songs to relive your breakup . She also accepts song suggestions on Twitter , so if you know a good introduction to the horn , give her a call.
Metafilter users impressed by Grace playlists have come up with a few more specific playlists. There’s Truck Driver’s Gear Change , a collection of songs with a desperate late-stage key change . There are 4 Chords , a songbook using the same super popular chord progression taken from Pachelbel’s Canon, parodied by comediansAxis of Awesome andRob Paravonian .
We found a few more on Spotify: whistling songs , songs about cigarette butts , songs from an animal perspective, and my favorite song Is This Sufjan Stevens Song Gay Or Just About God . We (I) even have a few of our own, although they are all tiny: songs about a very specific party , songs that start with a repeating piano high note , and songs with a long tale . But we could always use more.
