Who’s Playing What Day?

[Matt42]

Sam Fenders debut is close to a no skip album.

When I put it on I often find myself listening to the whole thing in succession.

Enough time for a wee too!

Not enough time for a drink though.

Oh I thought the Sunday was a lock

We may have heard something else since which I’ve forgotten/missed, to be fair. But I don’t think the guy who gave us the info initially ever expanded on whether he meant the Sunday, specifically.

I find it incredible that this is something worth calling out. Not having a go at you here Matt, I get it that this is how people consume music now but I still very rarely skip a song on an album.

The person said in the exact spot Billie played so I took that as 3rd Down Other Sunday.

No idea if it’s true though

Got good links to Fender so will know if he’s been bumped up but he has the Eilish Other Slot as of a week ago. 
 

Also, 75% sure Royal Blood aren’t at Glasto

Do you not put songs you like in a playlist and shuffle? Do you listen to albums back to front all the time?

I'm the same as you. I mostly listen to albums and don't often skip. I know what he means though. I don't often skip but a great album with really great songs is still rare. Usually there's some filler.

I literally only listen to albums back to front, but then I’m probably the minority these days. The idea of an album being a full work is something I enjoy a lot.

Yep I was helping someone out with their uni dissertation recently and when I said I only use playlists for Glastonbury line up or when I used to go running she was amazed. Other than that I create playlists of albums that I want to listen to or listen to the radio. 

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah I pretty much only listen to albums. Occasionally a new music playlist or something with singles on.

To be fair I have absolutely no idea how big he is in 2022 outside of Scotland 

Local TV news is saying he sold out in Bristol last time he played, he as a new album coming too. 

[internetjef]

Does this War on Drugs Bristol Monday announcement mean we think they will be added to Glasto lineup later at some point ? Or have they been ruled out prior?

just had a glance at their tour dates and doesn’t appear any clash on the weekend.

might have asked to be kept off poster to sell own gig tickets first ? 
also if added where do we think they would place ?

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Add all songs I like to one giant playlist that I shuffle any time I can’t be arsed to choose what to put on (usually driving/walking), rest of the time listen to albums. Easy.

[Quark]

+1 for albums

I like a playlist and a shuffle as much as the next man, but if I listen to an album it's to listen to the album from start to finish.

[Hugh Jass II]

I always listen to albums all the way through and in order, never skip a single track.

I also have a massive playlist with over 1,000 songs on that I stick on shuffle when I’m running or when I can’t really decide on an album to listen to.

[Mattymooz]

Do you guys really have that many perfect albums? I find most have at least a couple duff songs I'd rather skip.

I do have a few playlists but they are generally one of three things:

1. Festival playlists or ones people have made as an introduction to an act or a genre with the hope of finding stuff I like, if I do find an act I like, I'll seek out their albums.
2. Party playlists, stuff to have on if we have people round
3. My monster playlist that has one song off every album I own. I stick this on shuffle but it often leads to reminding me of a great album that I then stick on.

"This bloke is so good, I almost list to his whole album" is alien to me but I get that many, many people do the same as you.

Listening to an actual album on shuffle sets my teeth on edge. I sometimes do it by mistake, it's horrible.

Being the hipster/old git I am, I mostly listen on vinyl. Skipping a song is more hassle than it's worth. If you keep skipping sons, you'll never learn to love them.

For me the big questions is when and where is Ronan Keating playing. Surely with his tour dates we can see him turning up?

Personally if it's an album I want to listen to then it's rare that I'll skip tracks. Wouldn't call them perfect by any stretch, but they make it the total package.  I'm sure there'll be some albums where that's the case, but if I'm skipping tracks then chances are I prefer the songs to the album, in which case they go in a playlist.

No of course they're not perfect but they are the albums. By the same token I don't have that many albums that I really like where I hate some of the tracks enough that I'd want to skip one.

I’m in agreement.
