Q9: I’d like to make a playlist of JoCo songs. Any suggestions for songs?
A9: Sure! (I’m indebted to Colleenky for hunting out most of these links.)
- First off, there’s JoCo’s official Listening Suggestions, with a selection of 24 songs divided into 6 groups, mostly by mood (funny, sad, geeky, etc.) Not really a playlist, but a good starting place for thinking about one.
- In the “JoCo primer CD?” thread, Encubed drafted a playlist for introducing his friends to JoCo’s music, and the forum members gave a lot of feedback.
- Not two months later, the same question was raised in the “What would you include on your “Beginners Guide To JoCo” CD?” thread, with bonus footage of your forum admin trying to act all forum adminny.
- There’s the “Favorite Songs List” (which I still encourage everyone to participate in); it’s a great resource for discovering underappreciated songs. It’s very dangerous to read it while putting together a playlist, because you’ll find yourself unable to exclude any songs, but even if you don’t, it’s a pretty good playlist on its own.
- Not much commentary, but plenty of suggested playlists at the “Your Personal Favorite JoCo Mixtape” thread.
- Encubed (again), in a fit of Coultonmania brought about by driving five hours and across a national border to see a JoCo concert, compiled the ”
JoCo Concert Stats 2008“, a list of all the songs he’s known to have played in concert, with frequencies, to give you an idea which songs are most popular. - Similarly, check out the Shows pages at JoCopedia, the Jonathan Coulton wiki, particularly the shows with full setlists — setting up a setlist isn’t quite the same as a playlist, but the idea’s very similar.
