ATH & SXSW – A Playlist For 2024

Leave a comment

We’re getting down to those last few days of build up to SXSW next week, and the ATH is going to try and squeeze in as much pre-coverage as we can before signing off on Monday. For those of you who prefer listening over reading our SXSW interviews, we’ve combed through most all the bands on the festival list and made a huge playlist of bands we suggest. Of course, we may have missed something so feel free to blast us if you’re favorite didn’t make the playlist and maybe, just maybe, we’ll add it in.

Since I know all of you heathens love Spotify, here it is. Also managed to convert to youtube if you prefer getting weird. OR, I’ve got it on Apple, and will send it your way if you hit me up and ask real nice.

 

Jams From Last Week 7/27-7/31

Leave a comment

It was a bit of a slower week for us on the new music side of things, but we still had a few jams for from the last week of July. You’ll see some recurring artists here like Tummyache and Meatbodies but also new to us music like The Enigmatic Foe or Treeboy & Arc. It’s a shorter one this week so it should be great for your Monday morning or afternoon commute. Stay dry!

Last Week in Music, Today; the Bops from May 24-28

We’ve got lives over here, so we’re not likely to ever get a cool playlist up on a Friday, and due to Memorial Day, sometimes we don’t get it up on a Monday. But, in case, like our friend Marc from the Midgetmen, you don’t have time to read things or listen to people’s thoughts, we made you a playlist. You don’t even have to really click on the site, you can just open the Spotify player and enjoy your jams. So, if you were wondering what hits we thought were worth your time last week, well my friends, here they are!

Phew, the end of the year really snuck up on me this time and it’s crazy to think we are moving on from the 2010s. Before we do so, Nathan and I of course want to share some of our favorite things from the year for those of you who care to hear our opinions. I am typically the songs guy and Nathan usually takes on the albums, so here it is, my favorites from this year. Hit the jump for my list and a Spotify playlist to take with you.

Ray Ray’s Top Songs of 2017

We’re now only a few short weeks away from the end of another amazing year in the music industry. We ATH kids went all list, all the time this year with a whole bunch of opinions about top albums, top Oceanic albums, top Austin albums and even one about albums you’ve probably never heard of. We like music, we like lists, and we like debating about both lists and music, so deal with it. I’m continuing our insane foray into lists this year end season with my personal Top 25 songs of 2017.

A quick blurb and full list after the jump.

ATH & SXSW: Spotify Playlist

Leave a comment

logoIt’s hard to believe, but SXSW is officially upon us in a couple of weeks and we’re here to try and keep you as informed as we can until then.  An easy way for us to do that is with a handy dandy playlist over on Spotify featuring some of the bands we think you should pay attention to during the week.  Sure the playlist has a ton of songs, but you can skip the ones you don’t like right?  If you think we missed something big, you’re free to let us know in the comments section.  We’ll be bringing you some artist spotlights real soon.

 

ATH Songs Of 2012 Spotify Playlist

Leave a comment

You ask for it, we got it.  We had many requests for a Spotify playlist of our top songs for 2012, so we made an account and got the playlist uploaded.  Now keep in mind that ATH tends to talk about some obscure stuff from time to time, so many of our top songs aren’t streamable on Spotify.  We did the best we could.  Follow that jump for playlist.

Friday Top 5: Subscribe

I am not just referring to @austintownhall or facebook.com/austintownhall.

There was big news recently about Spotify bringing their all-you-can-eat music service to America hammering the tech sites and delighting music fans.  Now, this concept is nothing new to me as a long time subscriber and advocate of Microsoft’s Zune Pass.  It has however been a chore to evangelize the merits of renting your music catalog.  Let’s face it, there is a warm fuzzy around “owning” your music, isn’t there.  But let’s go over the Top 5 reasons why you subscribe to a music service, especially as there are now several great multi-platform services to choose from.
