One of my quarantine coping mechanisms has been making personal intro/best-of playlists for various bands I loved in my youth. Don’t know who needs to hear this but here’s The Pogues https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0SScyPyrAWAyoGGr3yf15A?si=KhbvUo44R-Oca9P8JTUg1w

I'll post a few more of these, why not. They skew toward 80s-00s indie rock, what can I say, I'm an Xennial (just learned this term). Here's The Fiery Furnaces https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4QdZYzADPMs3ElutWpJs3F?si=EReJfgH_TO25GXvvEQ4tXA

Here's one for Prefab Sprout, who have a terrible name but are one of the best bands ever https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3T6gHmqm4SYJkSVCC2mUMq?si=U4USja6KTKm7RJhaxUoZXw

Last one for the time being: The Bee Gees, who I came to late, but have come to realize are insanely underrated https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7qfnOPp4St30qC4f1UU5oE?si=a2gM5f--TGaSRi0PQruxgw

Continuing this thread: here's an introduction to the Silver Jews/David Berman (RIP) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3idIJrTejUIaUChhS2sTxu?si=cisY8OMvSIOSm-LgyXHL-g

And here's a primer on The Divine Comedy/Neil Hannon, who I've always felt is absurdly slept-on https://open.spotify.com/playlist/13ErsTTxAgZg2vQMYJ7yGj?si=6b4UbF93RYKIWO9yVPC2lA

Last (for now) but not least: the best of Stereolab https://open.spotify.com/playlist/79fkrbiAFLufmlKGV4iTio?si=UKn0c_qCTZKypajTWoZvAg
