Once a month on the Pandemonium, I provide a Mixtape Challenge for any playlister willing to take the challenge. I post the list of challenges at the beginning of the year, and playlisters sign up for the ones they want to do.
This year all the challenges related to the last twenty-five years, as we celebrated the first quarter of this century.
Inevitably, there are some challenges that don’t get answered. Most of the time, I take those on.
That’s the case for next week’s list which will be a mix of songs from 2020-2024.
I have pretty full lists of songs to pick from for 2023 and 2024, as I started saving new songs I liked throughout those years. As for 2020 to 2022, I have fewer songs saved in my liked playlist.
So, I go through various sources online to see what was released in those years, and gradually build my list. Spotify also suggests songs similar to what I have already played in each year’s playlist.
That’s the case for this Death Cab for Cutie song. The band I know. I was a big fan of their album “Plans” that came out in the early 2000s.
I also weirdly know that the name of their band comes from a fictional band in the Beatles movie “The Magical Mystery Tour.”
Once I get a good sampling for each year, I will then create one playlist with the songs I like best and the songs I think fit the best together.
That’s the fun part of the challenge, making a list that draws others in and maybe introduces them to tunes they haven’t heard before or perhaps haven’t thought about for a while.
