Music Playlist from Kottke.org Readers

Thursday, April 3, 2003 09: 35 PM

Jason Kottke recently commented on current music in his playlist with a call to readers to share their lists. The resulting commentary produced 100+ comments recommending 400+ artists.

This posed a problem for me: I wanted a PDA friendly, .txt file format list of these musicians to refer to when burning buying CDs, but not the commentary. So in an effort to prove that I lack anything resembling a real life and that I am really good at making lists, I took the comments, stripped the commentary and present to you The List (up to comment #109 at least):

• Credits: This list was organized by Paul Nixon (nixlog) from content developed by Jason Kottke and his readers on kottke.org.

• Downside of this list: Little to no context to the musician or musical style is given on this list. Some context may or may not be gathered from reading the actual commentary. Also, formatting and duplication errors abound.
  
  
• Organizational note: The alphabetized list ignores the "The" bands by alphabetizing the band based on the second word in the name (e.g. White Stripes, The). Unfortunately trying to alphabetize the band "The The" ended in a vicious, never ending cycle from which I have yet to escape.
