I am of course talking about spotify's brilliant playlists. It's pretty easy now to make up a playlist of your favourite songs, and then quickly send it to a friend. While spotify is by no means perfect, there are still huge gaps (no Smiths!), and I now have a hatred of people called Roberta, this ability for me pretty much makes it an essential piece of software kit.
Firstly, this makes creating mixtapes insanely easy. Which are a wonderful way to quickly introduce somebody to your music taste, or show them new bands they may not have other known (I suppose you do allready, however, know what a mixtape is).
Here are for example a few I made earlier:
(N.B. That was supposed to be a playlist full of new stuff you might not have heard, but I ran out of new stuff I like that spotify actually has. Ahem)
Secondly, I've started making little themed playlists, which are pretty fun to make. For example, here is a playlist I made of happy songs, in order to cheer up sad friends:
The only real limit to this activity is your creativity, and I suppose your musical knowledge (coupled with the still bulgening catalogue of Spotify).
I won't make a raft of examples here, because I feel that this type of playlist should be a personal thing, songs that apply to you, or your friends.
So I'll give you a few examples to set the ball rolling instead:
Songs that make you think of summer/winter/spring/autumn.
Songs that make you think of home.
Songs that make you think of PERSON X
Songs that will blow your mind.
Songs that changed your life.
And for that last one, here's one I made ealier: Songs that changed my life
I might write more on that later.
