The Recommendation Project Part 4: Car Songs
This experiment in crowd-sourcing playlists based on specified themes is working out very, very well. So far, the four playlists (three official Recommendation lists and one sub-list to go along with the riots in the UK) have yielded more than a hundred songs (many of which I’ve never heard before. Awesome! That’s the point!) and have been played/shared hundreds of times.
The new list theme is about cars or driving.
1. Look me up on Rdio (www.rdio.com/people/AlanCross) and find the playlist marked The Recommendation Project Part 4: Cars. (NOTE: I don’t have ANY connection to Rdio other than I’m just a regular subscriber. If you’re not using the service, you can try the free trial to see if it’s right for you.)
2. Submit ONE (and only ONE) song to the playlist. In this case, I need your pick for the greatest car-theme songs since the Council of Nicea wrapped up in in CE 325.
3. The song can be brand new or just new to you. If you feel that “Little Deuce Coupe” by the Beach Boys works for you, add it.
4. Let your friends know about the project. Get them to contribute. Listen. Share. Review. And if you have any other ideas for themes, send ’em to alan@alancross.ca. Let’s see how long we can keep this thing going.
Say, why don't we just type the names of songs in the comments instead of going to that lame facebookesque music site? Or better yet, upload the mp3s.
And why am I doing the work? Offer me something interesting! Add a little value, instead of linking complexity!
