TODAY’S PLAYLISTS (Modern Day 11)

It’s the closing day of Modern Qualifiers! What happens next? There’s a special post about that. Today we have two final dips into the Low Shazam Zone and also two special groups whose themes were voted on by YOU dear voters. The “21st Century covers of 20th Century songs” group and a group themed around THE INTERNET.

The YouTube playlist is here but won’t embed at the right point – I think cos it’s over 200 songs long now.

Into the final leg of Modern Qualifier polling with our only curated headline group and a very strong selection elsewhere.

If you haven’t already, you should probably have a look at this post and discussion where I’m talking about how well the move to a new site is or isn’t working and what might happen once the Modern Qualifiers finish. I’ve read everyone’s comments (here and on the Bird Site) and I’ll be doing a “what’s next” post after tomorrow’s remaining 4 groups! Now on with the PLAYLISTS…

Haha I made a mental note to celebrate the 1000th comment on the new site - seems appropriate that it’s about a UX glitch…

Also, have successfully attached images before, but just found out you can't attach a 'jfif' file.

Sorry got distracted mid post by texting a friend about terrible NYC indie rock!

I can't find the headline group - is it just me?

I’m nervous about today cos I think it’s overall the day with the least well-known tracks so it could really struggle for votes. Fame is no reflection of quality though – I hope you take these lovely groups to your heart!

It’s the final week of Modern Qualifiers! Today we’ve got a particularly gruesome Bracket Balancer headline group, a couple of cracking Curated Groups and a further venture into the Low Shazam Zone. Best get on with it eh?

I made a playlist of all your excellent suggestions (that I could find) for a group on the theme “21st Century covers of 20th Century songs”. I’ll pick 4 of these with a headline group in mind – and avoiding stuff we’ve already had. But I thought all of them deserved collection really. Thank you!

We’ve got playlists for today – the most rap-heavy day of the current poll! – but also another crowdsourcing opportunity. I’m still looking for big name 21st century covers of 20th century hits but today I’m after tracks for the second extra group – songs about the Internet! They have to be from the year 2000 or after, though (sorry “E-Mail My Heart”). Suggest some in the comments!

Now those playlists:

Cut Copy Me is a great shout but also pretty much a lock for Late Work (I'd assume!)

+1 for Bo Burnham and The Chats suggestions above . Alex Cameron has a few songs about seedy internet types, maybe True Lies is the most directly about the internet. Slightly more abstract but […]

The following songs aren't necessarily all good, but they did force their way into my head when I saw this post, so it'd be rude of me not to mention them: 'Boten Anna' by Basshunter, 'Too Many […]
