Looking forward to it, I barely have any experience with folk punk. Do Solas count?
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.
Starter kit songs?
From Here to Utopia - Pat the Bunny
People II: The Reckoning - Andrew Jackson Jihad
Never Trust A Man (Who Plays Guitar) - Wingnut Dishwashers Union
Misanthropic Drunken Loner - Days n Daze
Whiskey is My Kind of Lullaby - Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains
Olde Tyme Mem'ry - Mischief Brew
Die Alone, Live Together - Ramshackle Glory
Intentionally alternating Pats?
Lol, shhhh.
But yes.
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.
The Crux — "Every Crooked Finger"
Rock Plaza Central — "Anthem for the Already Defeated"
Nero - Matt Pless
Ashtray might be a really good addition! Thanks for the suggestion :)
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
Qobuz
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 :)
