This week, I'm opening up the channels for y'all to share your favorite playlists. Thanks to @ingosteinke for spurring the idea with this post. Frequently, I see folks chiming into these threads with links to various Spotify playlists, so let's lean into it! The genre walls have been lowered and anything is welcome, but preferably send it in playlist form. It can be a playlist you made or simply one that you follow, and if there's a story behind it, let us know about it. Go on then, share us something good!
How we do
In this weekly series, folks can chime in and drop links to whatever it is they've been listening to recently + browse others' suggestions. You can follow the suggested genre if you'd like, but don't feel confined to it; you're free to suggest whatever you wanna. 🙌
If you're interested in having other discussions about music, consider following the aptly named #music discussions organization.
Let's see some of those playlists! Hook me up.
Note: you can embed a link to your song using the following syntax {% embed https://... %}. This should work for most common platforms!
Looking forward to listening to y'all's suggestions! 🎶

To share a bit of DEV Team lore— We do Music League for our team, to share a bit of music with each other every week and I LOVE listening to our playlists that we have made!
Here is one from recent:
Wrote DevTunes FM just for that, 62 stations to choose from! 📻🎵
Also, a few days ago published an article about my major takeaways! 🥳🎉
This freaking rocks, Madza! I'm tuning into the ambient station right now. Also appreciate ya sharing the article with takeaways. 🙌

How do I embed the Spotify playlist? Not understanding :D
But how :|
The Killers -- the whole Hot Fuss album from 2004. Such a damn good listen.
One of my favourite playlists. Enjoy and great idea 🤘
Ooh nice!
I love this one, this is my favorite playlist of the moment
That's the mentioned playlist: an eclectic mixture inspired by reminiscence of r&b videos featuring rainy streets, neon light, old records, and the limited palette with its blueish default colors of commodore 64 vintage home computers. Added some more tunes inspired by IDE themes like night shift, night owl, and sakura, the Japanese word for the pink cherry blossom color in spring, and some more vintage digital sounds like the great Giana sisters, Kraftwerk, Planet Rock, and some vintage-inspired retro electro like Luke Hash's Amiga.
Came across a brother by the name of Teddy Swims on YouTube over the weekend. I came across him going down that rabbit hole that it likes to put us in
YES!!! I love Teddy Swims. Great mention, Stefan!
I remember stumbling on him during COVID, but I kinda forgot about him. It looks like he's been doing the damn thing! He's got so many videos now and they look damn good!
Anywho, here's a good one of him covering MJ's Rock With You.
He definitely brings a different sound to it.
Nice topic!
Looking forward to seeing everyone's recommendations! Buut I created a playlist to listen to when I'm programming: open.spotify.com/playlist/0G5OFZkA...
If you like synthesizer music, I recommend checking out Moog Music's Moog Sound Lab playlist on YouTube... basically, different artists come visit Moog in Asheville and record on Moog instruments.
Here's a cool one by Sylvan Esso, a duo who hail from Durham, NC. Can't believe this was recorded 10 years ago! 🤯
I am listening to this Swedish artist at the moment 🇸🇪 She reminds me a bit of Anna Ternheim. Surely our Swedish friends here will recognise both or either of them!
Good stuff, Bruno! She's got a great voice. I've not listened to much Swedish music, so this is really cool to hear. Thankya for chiming in with this suggestion! 😀
I'm in a college daze (😉) mood today...
Oh rock on! What a list. So many goodies in here. Appreciate ya sharing, Keith!
