Woodie Smalls
artist pic
> Young Woodie Smalls (1996), aka Woods, started making music at the early age of 15. At first it wasn't something that he took real serious. Being in the studio was more about fun and hanging out with the homies. When his cousin Grey and childhood friend K1D started to give him props and asking for more verses things started to change. Woods became more focussed on producing quality content and started working towards his first official EP release. Read more on Last.fm.

This is inspired by the soundtrack of the Chinese TV series "The Longest Day in Chang'an", which is available on Amazon Prime Video. English subtitles are available however the translation quality isn't great. Still, I strongly encourage anyone who enjoyed this track or has a passing interested in Tang China to watch the show.
Full original soundtrack is also on YouTube.
Not trying to diss your program or claim lack of validity, but wouldn't mind seeing this 'program'? As u/tofu89 said, more interested in the github than the Spotify link. There has been an app / online tool that has been doing this for all top posts on r/listentothis , for quite some time. Just download "IFTTT" and sub to this: https://ifttt.com/applets/321850p-add-top-posts-from-the-reddit-r-listentothis-subreddit-to-a-spotify-playlist
What is stopping me using this, to create a playlist, and then editing it to only 50 songs each few days and then claiming it as a "I created this program and here is the playlist"?

Is anyone else seeing this? There's no way those submissions should be outranking the posts below them.
I've had one person post about this yesterday, and now two more today. Something is afoot...
Questions for those affected (and this is NOT exclusive to listentothis, we may have more visitors soon).
- When did you first see it?
- Does it happen often?
- How long does it last?
- Is there any correlation with reddit's slow/502/504/youbrokereddit periods?
UPDATE: Thanks to the folks in /r/help. This is a known issue. Here's the link to the open bug ticket.
Crywank
artist pic
> Crywank are a three-piece DIY folk band from Manchester, England. They focus mostly on sad songs.
> Crywank started in 2009 with James Clayton attempting to do some folk-punk influenced acoustic music with no previous experience playing guitar. The first album "James is going to die soon" was inspired by a painful break up. James stated that "I wrote these songs out of frustration and sadness and they ended up making me feel a lot better, I hope they have a similar effect on you".
> In 2012 Crywank released his second album 'Narcissist On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown'. Described as "a collection of paranoid songs mostly about me trying to understand my own sadness along with the concept of sadness as a whole. It was fueled by self help books and pot."
> In late 2012 Dan Watson joined Crywank on percussion, and in early 2013 they released tour demos for their third album 'Tomorrow Is Nearly Yesterday And Everyday Is Stupid' which was released in October 2013.
> In 2014 Tom Connolly joined on bass, Crywank is now a full band. James continues solo recordings under the name JC and The Nobodies. The name Crywank comes from a nickname a friend gave James due to his over-the-top displays of sadness. His Mum tells her friends he's called 'Tearjerk'. Read more on Last.fm.

Ideas that should be a shoo-in for a win here...
- A "Drive 2" soundtrack
- Finish Barry's Monday morning mixtape from High Fidelity
- Recreate the mix that spawned /r/MFPMPPJWFA/
- Any vaporwave mixtape
I'll get another /r/soundsvintage mix out the door, /u/kaptain_carbon will do another /r/vintageobscura mix.

Austrian Death Machine
artist pic
> Austrian Death Machine is a thrash metal/metalcore side project from San Diego, California. ADM is founded by As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis as a parody band and as a tribute to the movies of actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Lambesis writes and records all the music playing guitar, bass, and drums as well as the majority of the vocals, leaving Destroy the Runner vocalist Chad Ackerman (portraying "Ahhhnold") to perform Schwarzenegger like vocals. The only thing Lambesis or Ackerman do not record are the guitar solos in every song which are performed by various guitarists from other bands. Lambesis stated where As I Lay Dying "is heartfelt and full of passion" Austrian Death Machine on the other hand "is an outlet of pure testosterone and stupidity."
> Austrian Death Machine released their first album "Total Brutal" on July 22, 2008. A few months later they released a Christmas theme EP titled "A Very Brutal Christmas". After some tour support of "Total Brutal, Lambesis went back on tour with As I Lay Dying. While on tour he posted on Austrian Death Machine's MySpace blog that he had ideas to follow up "Total Brutal" with a double disc effort titled "Double Brutal" stating that the first disc would be original songs where the second disc would be comprised of cover songs. After returning home from tour in early Summer 2009, he went straight to work on "Double Brutal" which was released September 29, 2009.
> Austrian Death Machine's third album, "Triple Brutal" is also released and is awesome! Read more on Last.fm.

Pandora to gently introduce me to bands I don't know, who are similar to stuff I already like. (It has occasional streaks of surprising breadth, I've found.) I listen at work, so I don't expend dedicated "finding new music" time. Once I find something that interests me, I sometimes hit up last.fm to find similar artists, or just explore the one I found.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
(edit: I can't make links)
<em>this belongs here.</em> its awesome for those of you who've seen then movie. These covers I personally enjoy more than the film versions. Plus the line up of bands on it is sick.

There are hundreds of versions of this song. I wrote a whole paper in an ethnomusicology class about it. Mississippi John Hurt's gotta be the favorite.
Edit: Here is the paper, some of it is bullshit for sure but it was one of the more FUN papers I did throughout college. The class was Africana Music Studies.

I've been seeing these guys for 10 years and they're still my favorite live show.
This is the show that I still give people to turn them on to Umphrey's, free on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/um2004-12-11.mkh800.flac16
The songs on the album range around a bit in tone; "Barton Hollow" is probably the hardest-driving track. "Poison & Wine" is a good example of a track that goes in the other direction.
It's a great album, you should buy it immediately.

Following his father, Ishii went to university for mechanical engineering. In his spare time he became engrossed with the zither and the hammered dulcimer, and learned to play these instruments. Using Franzl Lang's records, he taught himself to yodel, and began performing on Japanese television. During a six-month period where he studied abroad in Germany, Ishii went to Switzerland, where he sang at a beer hall in Zurich. He soon started earning money from this. From there he sang in front of Lang, his idol, and Lang took him under his wing. He performed on television with Maria Hellwig, and after that became known in German language circles as the "Japanese yodeler". Read more on Last.fm.

It's also (and more significantly) the name of a cave and World Heritage Site in the north of Spain. The cave was inhabited for a millennia during the paleolithic. It's best known for the wealth of paintings found within the cave which include those of bison (hence the album artwork).

She who walks alone in life
She of sound mind
I am only as old as I've been told
Now I'm playing for time
Darling take me to the lakeside
Wash my body well
I am holy now the water's hit me
Broken from your spell
Cause I was on my hands and knees
Bending at the heart of me
We don't know the weight of all
The words we say now
In a few more years, with open ears
Would you still say them aloud?
They who walk alone in life
They are of sound mind
We can only get hurt by things we've heard
And lovers are unkind
But did you hear the sun go down?
Silent as a child I found
Hiding in the midnight of my soul
I am ready now to let her go
She who walks alone in life
She by herself
We are only as old as we've been told
And I'm not ready for the shelf
Darling take me to the lakeside
Lay my body down
I am holy now while skin is touching
Let the sun go out
I am on my hands and knees
Bending at the heart of me
Hiding in the midnight of my soul
Please don't break the shell that I call home
The Mowgli's
artist pic
> 5 childhood friends from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, augmented by 3 mid-western transplants, The Mowgli's are a quintessential California band. Inspired by the magnetism of San Francisco, the grind of Los Angeles and the serenity of the Big Sur Coast, their songs are a joyous revival of rock n' roll, a twisting indie-folk dance and a heartfelt protest ballad.
> Sliding from indie pop to country and a host of genres in between, the band evokes modern artists such as Fun., Grouplove and Edward Sharpe And the Magnetic Zeros, whilst having their roots in the music of Neil Young, The Byrds, The Beach Boys and Fleetwood Mac.
> Part 60's Laurel Canyon, part 70's Venice Beach and part 10's Silverlake, the band and the harmonies are held together by their message of universal love, peace and the belief that the highest form of consciousness is achieved by togetherness and unity.
> Uplifting, collaborative, joyous and communal, their songs are a walk through their life thus far: Meeting each other ("Hi Hey There Hello"), experiencing together ("San Francisco", "The Great Divide", "I've Been Around"), fighting and making up (“Colin's Song”), emerging stronger ("Carry Your Will", "We Are Free") - their message is finding a foothold with fans from every walk of life, bringing people together under one roof to celebrate each other.

This isn't for the contest, but I just wanted to share a dope mix that I had come back across last week after not hearing it for awhile. It's called 'THE MUSIC MACHINE MIX' by Ruckus Roboticus and it has the power to instantly transport people back to their childhoods and young adult years, in a fun way. It also might help get those mixtape juices flowin' and spark an idea for your own mix.

Ivan Ave
artist pic
> Ivan Ave’s relationship with music started in the CD shelves of his older sisters. Today the Norwegian MC makes songs clearly shaped by sneaking into 90s bedrooms to play albums by The Fugees and Janet Jackson. In the last few years he has put out several EPs, all deeply rooted in the RnB and Hip-Hop of his childhood, perhaps even more the 70s jazz and soul that inspired it. A keen record collector, Ave moonlights as a DJ and two step extraordinaire. Ivan signed with Berlin based Jakarta Records in 2014 to release Low Jams, a five track phenomenon produced by Stones Throw artist Mndsgn. The EP was described by Okayplayer.com as “an enveloping head nodder that peppers irresistible grooves with vivid double-entendres and exists in the same elusive strata of true school perfection occupied by Nas’ debut Illmatic LP.” In the fall of 2015 Ivan and long time collaborator Fredfades released another duo project on Jakarta, entitled Fruitful LP. In february 2016 Ivan’s debut solo LP, produced exclusively by Mndsgn was released. You can find his vivid raps on several features and side projects. From the soulful cassette release with his crew Mutual Intentions, to trading verses with the likes of Blu and Illa J, Ivan Ave is a force to be reckoned with. Read more on Last.fm.

TTNG
artist pic
> TTNG, previously known as The Tanzanian National Gallery, are a small collection of human beings often seen upsetting the patrons of German discothèques, with what can only be described as dancing. They consider themselves friends but are often referred to as a cult and sometimes even a 'band'. As part of their cult like tendencies, they ritualistically write musical compositions in order to please their spiritual leader Dr Kenneth Bobo. Although the identity of Dr Kenneth Bobo still remains a mystery, some have speculated that it is none other than the gallery's old grounds keeper Chris Baker - who's whereabouts is currently unknown.
> Many of the past members of the group have mysteriously 'disappeared'. Current know members are believed to be:

They don't have an album yet, but should be finished recording by August. Their last upcoming show before the album finishes is this Thursday June 14 in Philadelphia. Unfortunately I won't be able to go, but I urge you to go if you can make it. Their live show is incredible.
S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D - FB event

edit to add: Love Your Lawnmower is probably my current favorite song by them.
Larry and His Flask
artist pic
> "Larry & His Flask are like no band I’ve ever seen (which seems to be the general consensus). As soon as Jamin says “Hello everybody we’re Larry & His Flask!” and the first song begins people are glued to the stage. Everyone is watching with smiles and wide eyes. People are looking at their friends shaking their heads with looks on their faces that say: “What the hell is this?!“ When all 6 members are on stage they are truly a sight to behold. They play their instruments fast and they play them good. It’s difficult to describe the kind of music they play; they don’t fit into any of the genres found in your neighborhood music shop. Their music sounds like rowdy bluegrass/folk with heavy punk rock roots and a splash of gypsy soul." Larry & His Flask are out of Redmond, Oregon and are more than local heroes with tons of local fans! Read more on Last.fm.

Highly Suspect
artist pic
> For rock and roll trio Highly Suspect, making and performing music isn’t a hobby, or even a profession. It’s a way of life. Founded by twins Rich and Ryan Meyer, and their best friend Johnny Stevens in 2009, this literal band of brothers have gone from playing cover sets on the shores of Cape Cod, to playing original material at countless venues and dive bars in New York City. They now live in Brooklyn, and after recording a 3 song EP The Worst Humans with producer Joel Hamilton (Elvis Costello, Plastic Ono Band, Black Keys/Wu-Tang Clan), are working on a new album. Their current sound has been to compared to Band of Skulls, Pink Floyd, and early Kings of Leon. In their single “Bath Salts”, The twins play off their primal connection to hold down a rocking, tension filled rhythm section, while lead singer Johnny’s dirty, lo-fi vocals play into the songs’ themes of recklessness and wasted youth. “We have been rogue, nomadic, bohemian, and poor for years now, but we stay together because this life and this music is what we love” says Johnny. The band is currently working on new material and expects a new album in late 2013. Read more on Last.fm.

Binaural literally just means involving or using both ears.
"Binaural beats" are like you said, but as I understand the situation, their effects were overblown and their known uses are very narrow. Here's an old comment/study on the subject.
Another "binaural" thing is recording audio using two microphones placed similarly to ears on a head, allowing for a very, very realistic sounding stereo effect.
But, yeah, you're totally right about what's going on in the song.
Mystery Skulls
artist pic
> Mystery Skulls is the name of Luis Dubuc (The Secret Handshake)'s new project, formed in 2011. It is a blend of funk, soul, and electronic dance beats.

> The first Mystery Skulls EP is available on Bandcamp for only $1 USD, and more songs can be found on Dubuc's tumblr page for free.
> In 2014, Dubuc released his first album "Forever" including tracks such as Paralyzed and Ghost. Ghost reached popularity on Youtube after MysteryBen27 released an animated music video for it featuring original characters.
> In 2015, the second Mystery Skulls EP was released on Bandcamp. "Ultra Rare Vol 1" features the first Mystery Skull songs that weren't put on Forever. MysteryBen27 released another animated music video for Freaking Out in 2016.

Harley Poe
artist pic
> Harley Poe is an acoustic horror folk rock band with punk influences. They are similar in style to Violent Femmes. Their lyrics however, are extremely dark, with many references to horror movie subculture.
> All of Harley Poe's initial members came from the now defunct Christian band Calibretto 13. Upon disbanding in late 2004, Joseph Whiteford (vocals and guitar), Chad Serhal (bass), and Christopher Thomas (drums) went on to record an album under the name Harley Poe. "In the Dark", which had originally been planned as a new Calibretto 13 album, was released in November of that year. Whiteford tours and records with a new band now; Serhal and Thomas are now involved in their own bands.
> "The Dead and the Naked" was released in August 2006 and includes some new material in addition to live versions of songs from the previous album.
> In 2015, Joe Whiteford announced on his blog that Harley Poe would be going on "indefinite hiatus," citing a need to "give this demon some time off." Whiteford marked the hiatus of Harley Poe by releasing the album "Fallen Down," a collection of recordings done almost entirely on Whiteford's phone.
> In January 2016, however, Whiteford announced that he had reformed the band and was working on recording yet another album. "I'm thinking that music is a part of me," Whiteford wrote on his personal Facebook page, "It flows. I can't stop it. When something is on my mind, I write about it (...) It's a gift."

Hawaii Part II, the album the track is from, is Joe Hawley (red tie)'s pseudonymous project! All the songs are written at least in part by him, and a lot of them are based off of old Tally Hall-era demos that never made it onto the band's studio albums. It was all co-produced by Joe, Ross Federman (gray tie) and Bora Karaca (orange tie), and features Rob Cantor (yellow tie) and Zubin Sedghi (blue tie) on vocals for a few tracks as well. It's really really really good stuff; I highly recommend buying it on iTunes or on the Sellfy site and listening to it all the way through :D

Well, I disagree on one point, since I usually listen to the songs from this subreddit using Tidal. The coverage on small bands is quite good. It is true that the editorial line points towards pop and other horrible stuff, but a good listener knows to skip entirely the suggested options and the main page. If someone of your mods has the Tidal account it would be super easy to sync spotify playlists using Soundiiz.
I would do it myself, but this service allows only to sync created content, not subscribed playlists, so to sync you must own the source account and have the playlist created by you. Also if a song is not listed in the destination's portfolio it will be simply skipped, so no need to edit anything. Anyway, thanks for the answer. Keep going with your great job.

Sarah Jarosz
artist pic
> Sarah Jarosz (born 23 May 1991 in Austin, Texas) is an American alt-country musician and singer-songwriter from Texas. Her first CD, Song Up in Her Head, was released in 2009, with her tune "Mansinneedof" nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Country Instrumental Performance. Her second album, Follow Me Down, was released in 2011. Her third album, Build Me Up from Bones, was released on September 24, 2013 through Sugar Hill Records.
> Jarosz emerged on the scene in about 2003 as someone to watch. Jamming on stage with bluegrass icons named Grisman or Skaggs, she played her mandolin with a sure touch and real joy. It looked and sounded comfortable in her twelve-year-old hands. She started writing songs on the guitar, took up the banjo, and won a bunch of awards. While her instrumental talents are formidable, let's make one thing clear: Sarah is a singer. She's just flat got it. Her voice is velvety smooth, agile, and powerful. With subtle use of colors and effects, she inhabits her songs the way a fine actress does her role. Overall, her music feels good, avoids over reaching. Nothing's contrived.
> Her schoolteacher parents have raised her well, providing the skills, support, and freedom to become the confident artist that she is. Beautiful, talented, and just a little mysterious in a wholesome, Wimberley Texas hill-country kinda way, Jarosz is at home in this world. She knows what she's about and is ready to get out there and make her mark. Read more on Last.fm.

Since then they’ve changed their name (formerly Do it to Julia), put out a demo, played some festivals, relentlessly toured the southeast, worked some odd jobs, built a home studio, lost a van, bought a new one, toured the southeast again, and then the north, and soon the west. The music has been called folk, nature-pop and baroque pop. But with two songwriters, one male and one female, and an organic approach to composition, the result is a sound they feel they can call their own. Read more on Last.fm.

Are we listening to the same band? I would never associate TABB with any form of folk music. They were/are very much a blues rock band.
>I'm looking for modern artists still making that kind of music (post-1999). This is southern boogie with a walking bass line, not southern rock and roll.
I imagine you already know about them, but I'm surprised you didn't mention Robert Randolph and the Family Band.
I would also recommend the Honey Island Swamp Band. Something tells me this is what you're looking for.

The Utters paid homage to their influences with a stellar cover of Cocksparrer's I Got Your Number on the Blackout compilation Punk Rock Jukebox.

Love this artist. The old songs fit so well with the trip hop beats. There's a LP from ProleteR over on the amazingly amazing Internet Archive. Check it! Its free and under creative commons. https://archive.org/details/DWK123
I happened to have worked on Joey's video 'Unorthodox' last year. The video's animation was inspired a lot by my senior project for college. Let me know if you have any questions about it and I wouldn't mind answering them
I have seen Slim Cessna's Auto Club live more times than any other single band, and will continue to. Best live show possible in my opinion.
Best shows are when one of Munly's side project bands (Jay Munly and the Lupercalians, solo stuff) opens for SCAC and he plays back to back sets.
Breakbot is amazing, does a mean live show too. If you like his sound, check out his quite recent mixtape which features a lot of similar sounds: https://soundcloud.com/edbangerrecords/breakbot-mixtape-october-2012
The guy who left (The Magician) puts out pretty awesome mixtapes and does remixes, including this killer Lykke Li remix: I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix)

Guantanamo Baywatch
artist pic
> Guantanamo Baywatch was started by Jason Powell and Chevelle Wiseman in Portland around 2008 to an immediately enthusiastic reception, released a very well received and now out-of-print LP on Portland's awesome Hovercraft Records, as well as a couple of EPs/tapes. The band really came into its own, though, in late 2010, with the addition of Chris Michael (also in BOOM!) on drums. Technically they joined the Dirtnap roster in June 2011, but they took their time recording their debut for the label, done mostly at home by the band themselves.
Chest Crawl sees the band working more vocal numbers into the mix, incorporating the usual surf/garage suspects (Cramps, Trashmen), more obscure 50's rock 'n' roll/RNB wildmen, as well as slightly heavier nods toward the young-oldies sound being popularized today by bands such as Hunx, Shannon And The Clams, Nobunny, etc.
