NOTE TO ALL:
I AM SLIGHTLY INACTIVE AT THE MOMENT, SO IF YOU HAVE A SHOW, JUST GO AHEAD AND POST IT. Just send me your info later, so that I can add it as soon as I can (it might take a week or two)...

...THANKS

this sounds like so much fun...too bad i am completely technically challenged...lol...cute idea, m!

s

yeah...I have wanted to put up something like this for a while, I just can't get the background to work

i think ladyt was trying to do something with the background on the book club, but she said the html was disabled or something??...

s

Yeah Shaz and Oracle said that html is disabled here. It's only allowed for fairs/festivals etc in the fairgrounds as far as I know. Too bad some backgrounds would make the clubs stand out.


This is a great idea though. So, if we were to create a playlist on playlist.com we are only allowed to post a link to it, not the play list itself? I'm I understanding that right.

Awesome idea!! I'm thinking of creating some kind of playlist related to Japanese music (since I seem to have accumulated several songs on my iPod that are in Japanese >_>

LordMaeglin, are we to just follow your example? I'm also a little confused as to how this works.

@LadyTwilight & Aeternus: I am glad you are interested. Ok, I have talked to Oracle and Playlist.com is Ok, as long as you follow these steps:
1)You cannot have an auto-start playlist.
2)The playlist color must be gray (don't want them to be destracting)
3)You still have to include the names of the songs and artists above or below the playlist widget in the post. This makes it easy for people to copy the name right out of the thread and put it into a music/normal search ingine.

Another issue, since making a new playlist every couple of weeks is tedious, just add the new songs to the top of the existing playlist. that way you don't have to make a new one, yet the old songs are there so that people looking at previous posts can still find them.

And I still want people to only add 10 songs a week, because that will give other members time to look at everyones songs without being overloaded by too many

I hope this has cleared up some problems

So I assume we're putting them in our cottages? (guess I'll finally have to get off my lazy bum and make one XD)

What's this about posts, though? Are we posting in here, as well?

eh, i dont have a cottage either...too intimidating, lol...but she's right, do we have to follow that link to a person's cottage to see the music?...do we post comments here?...

Does this mean that we're only allowed to make one playlist in the entire topic?

@ Aeternus, no we are posting them here
@ serendipity: thats the reason why we aren't posting them here
@ LadyTwilight: No. If you want to make a new playlist, feel free to. After all, for an account on Playlist.com, you can have multiple playlists.

@ all...This is getting a little complicated. I will give an example. Also, I am changing the limit on the playlist posting to two weeks before posting a new playlist

My first playlist is themed for the summer. Enjoy
Listen HERE
SONGS
1)Summertime-Sublime
2)Amber-311...A very mellow song
3)I Wish You Were Here-Incubus...When Im on the beach, I think of this one
4)Sunny Hours-Long Beach Dub Allstars
5)Cherry Bomb-John Mellencamp
6)One Love-Bob Marley...a clasic
7)The Space Between-Dave Matthews Band
8)Red Red Wine-UB40
9)Summertime-Will Smith
10)Summertime-New Kids on the Block...I couldnt find this one on playlist, so I added a U-tube link.

NOTE: I think it will be easiest to just put a link to the playlist page where your playlist is. I just realized you can't imbed your playlist + going to peoples cottages can be cumbersome, especially if they are slow to load like mine. Just put a link at the top of your post, something like "Listen HERE"

i grew up in a beach town, and that incubus song always makes me think of when i was a teenager (even though that song came out when i was in my 20s lol)...*sighs* and i love sublime...overall good picks...glad you set up an example...i thought you were going to have a confused mob of amaranthians banging on your door!...

s

heheh...I know what you mean. At least we sorted it out after 12 posts . And thanks for the comments.

Following Lord_Maeglin's example, here is my first playlist

Listen here!
1. "RETURNER ~Yami no Shuen~" by Gackt
2. "a little pain" by OLIVIA - first ED of Nana
3. "the WORLD" by Nightmare - first ED of Death Note[
4. "Best Friends" by the GazettE
5. "BLACK STONE" by Gackt - a really fun and upbeat pop/rock song
6. "Evolution" by Ayumi Hamasaki - also very upbeat and VERY fast-paced...try keeping up!
7. "A Song of Storm and Fire" by Kajiura Yuki - from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
8. "Dive to Blue" by L'arc~en~ciel
9. "Tsuki Akari" by Rie Fu
10. "kiri" by MoNoral - OP of Ergo Proxy

Enjoy! ^_^

Nice, A new playlist . I loved the first song, was that a flute in the background? The next favorite of mine was the Tsubasa Chronicle...the tune and melody were great. I liked the last couple alot though, Great playlist Aeternus!

Welcome to the beginnings and classics of Rock, Pop and Country. Where we will explore the history and artists of the 50's, 60's and 70's. Settle back and discover the Rocky Sentimental Journey.

We begin with the ever lovedCity of New Orleans. Brought to us by Steve Goodman, who composed it while on a train ride to visit his family. He played it for Arlo Guthrie in a Chicago bar. Arlo began performing his rendition in 1972 and the rest is history.

Lets take a look at Britain's Dusty Springfield version of an Italian song called "Io che non vivo (senza te)"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me. Released in early 1966 it was her only #1 hit.

Who can forget this legendary hit? Rolling Stones #39 on the list of all time Rock and Roll favorites, from Buddy Holly...That'll Be the Day. Recorded in July of 1956, it's sure to remain a classic of the genre.

Then there was the Day the music really Died. Don Maclean paid honor and tribute to that legend Buddy Holly with his famous song released in 1971,
American Pie.

Also on that fateful flight was the unforgettable Big Bopper, J.P.Richardson. Spark your ears to this 1958 tune Chantilly LaceIt played for 22 weeks in Americas top 40.

We lost this young star in 1960. He met death in an auto accident while on tour in the United Kingdom. What a perfect time to celebrate this song from Eddie CochranSummertime Blues, released just two years before his untimely death.

Who could ever forget this "True King" of Rock and roll, who set the country on it's ears in 1958 with Great Balls of Fire. Jerry Lee Lewis placed his mark on the music industry with his own unique style of music combining R&B, Boogie Woogie, Gospel, and Country.

Lest we forget, here for the ladies of rock and country history is Joni Mitchell, with her memorable 1970's version of Both Sides Now. Canadian born Joni Mitchell, may stand as the most influential female artist of the 20th century.

Here we have the unforgettable Janis Joplin. She died at 27 of a drug overdose in Southern California. She is ranked #46 on the 100 Greatest Artists of all Time. Here is her live performance in Stckholm 1969. Summertime. Remember her now for the blues she gave to Rock and Roll.

And last but not least Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, best friend of Janis Jopplin performing at Woodstock in 1969, White Rabbit She was an important figure in the shift to Psycedelic Rock.

Join me again as we continue our journey through Rock.

Don Maclean's Buddy holly tribute is legendary, just like "great balls of fire". Hey, and I even knew about White Rabbit too. Great stuff, Oracle.

@oracle - this playlist brought tears to my eyes...my father and i used to listen to his old albums and he had a lot of those songs...he passed away in november, but now i have all those albums to call my own...thanks for sharing!..

s

I'll do a contemporary play list if people want me to, including current: Pop, Rock, and Hip Hop.

im confused though, are we making them via Playlist.com or linking to youtube vidoes?
