DHS - a Spotify adventure

DHS is all about music - specifically music chosen, on Spotify, by D, H & S.

The three of us choose five songs at a time, add them to a Spotify playlist, and explain why we've chosen them. Once we've done that six times each we close the list and open the next one. Occasionally we review what we've picked and add it to 'the best of' playlist and once in a blue moon we each select an entire album.

Best of DHS 11 & 12 (S)

Good work D on your recent update - s.o.l.i.d...

(whatever than means)

As for me - I'm slightly thrown by the fact my Spotify display, for a collaborative playlist, has ceased showing which subscribed member contributed any given tune - in terms therefore of not picking my own tunes I'm trusting purely to luck and almost literally no memory whatsoever - forgive therefore and indulge me please if any of the following contains any faux-pas...

Ryan Davis - My White Zebra - if the least worthwhile reason I gave was simply, 'because it's Ryan Davis', I think it would still be justified - quality nonsense - I tip my hat to whoever selected it...

Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla - how could one of us not, and I'm more than glad that it could be me - one of THE most ubiquitous tunes of the last 10+ years but absolutely one of the best - still makes me go gooey every time I hear it - I tip my hat to whoever selected it...

Jay Z - Empire State Of Mind - fairly sure this was posted by D - doesn't matter either way - quite simply one of the tunes of the century so far - I fell in love with it then thought I was over it then spent 96 hours in New York and junior and I walked around humming this tune for 4 days straight - I tip my hat to whoever selected it...

Pachelbel's Canon in D - *no words*      *hat tipped*

L.S.G - Netherworld - simply because if there'd been a chance for me to put this on a long-lasting 'best-of' list and I hadn't taken it I would've paid to have myself assassinated - I tip my hat to whoever selected it...

Rui da Silva - Fire - 'cos one has to doesn't one?!  Prog to the power of prog squared with lashings more prog and umpteen side helpings of prog.  I tip my hat to whoever selected it...

This one may well have taken us a while but, all things considered, this 'best of' malarkey isn't getting any easier.  Genuine mentions to Rebelski's 'The Rift Valley', Morricone's 'The Ecstacy Of Gold', Aphex Twin 'Film', Essay 'Morning Mountain', Koto 'Jabdah' and at least another dozen that were under consideration.

DHS13 to open as soon as we close off this round of 'the best of'...
