Looking forward to it, I barely have any experience with folk punk. Do Solas count?

[–] speedythefirst@lemmy.zip 1 points 13 hours ago

That's Celtic folk. I love their music, but they wouldn't really fit in an essential folk punk playlist :)

At first I thought Brian Jonestown Massacre maybe, but they might not be quite punk enough 🤔

I might not listen to any true folk punk after all.

Intentionally alternating Pats?

[–] TaterTot@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago

Lol, shhhh.

But yes.

[–] speedythefirst@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Yes! I'm thinking the community might start voting on a monthly playlist theme? It could be a cool way for everyone to share their favorite songs or branch out beyond their usual taste.

Country Death Song - Violent Femmes

Also, a question:

What platform should we be making the playlists on? Spotify might be the obvious choice, and that's the platform I use, but some would object because of the various controversies the company has seen in recent years.

YouTube is another good option. They've got the largest song library of all the major companies in the streaming game.

I don't have either Tidal or Apple, so I can't speak to either of those.

Potentially, we could make playlists for all of them (or even just YouTube/Spotify), but it would require a little more work.

Fuck Spotify. At least you can use yt-dlp with youtube

I have Tidal and like it a lot. It's a service designed for people who love to listen to or make music to share. If you'd like help making the community playlist available on Tidal, I can spare some time.

The Paperboys - Pound a Week Rise

That would be awesome! Thank you :)
