Bunny Through The Looking Glass

Popular is on a brief hiatus while I play in the snow.

But here’s something to have fun with in the meantime (if you live in the UK, and are on Spotify!)

Bunny Through The Looking Glass is a collaborative playlist in which you can upload cover versions and remixes of No.1 hits. There are only two rules:

1. Only versions of songs that I’ve already written about on Popular. (I’ll delete later ones)
2. As far as possible try to move them to the right chronological bit of the playlist.

That’s all! Have fun with it!

    I shall stuff it with tat forthwith. Though I have just remembered the Black Box Recorder Up Town Top Ranking, I wonder if that’s there.

    It is!

    That Erasure “Take A Chance On Me” is embargoed, sorry whoever put it on!

  3. Pete Baran on 3 February 2009

    Yes, slight clarification. Covers which in themselves were number ones are embargoed.

    What about original versions of #1s e.g. Gloria Jones, Paragons?

  5. mike on 3 February 2009

    Oh goody, more excuses to muck around on Spotify. That’s this evening taken care of!

  6. Tom on 3 February 2009

    #4 yes!

    can someone remind me how to get in to spotify again? Can it be used on macs?

  8. Tom on 3 February 2009

    I think so!

    I have Spotify invites if they’re still needed, by the way.

  9. a logged-out pˆnk s lord whatnot on 3 February 2009

    yes it’s ok on macs

    It sounds like the kids want to kill themselves in that by the two minute mark.

    Siouxsie doing Oh Mein Papa = k-scary.

    wouldn’t mind a spotify invite if anyone’s feelin’ generous..

  13. crag on 3 February 2009

    feel bad asking as i’ve not been around here much of late(boring personal stuff) but are there any invites left?
    ps enjoy the snow!

    OMG, the flamenco version of “Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep”….

  15. CarsmileSteve on 6 February 2009

    (needs emails to send invites to innit, but happy to oblige ;))

    Just been on and added about 40 tracks to the playlist. Hope you enjoy them as much as I’ve been enjoying some of those added by others.

    I don’t know what’s better – finding an undiscovered gem, or cringing at some of the more pathetic (and pointeless)efforts!

  17. vinylscot on 12 February 2009

    As of earlier this week, UK based users do not need an invite to join and use spotify. Just go to their site and sign up! I have totally lost my last three evenings!

    Also Tom, I think some of the problem with tracks being in the wrong order may be down to me – I apologise. As a cheapskate free user I can not find any way to order the playlist chronologically. Is it simple, or do I need to be a paid subscriber to do this?

  18. Pete Baran on 12 February 2009

    Drag and drop. Like a playlist elsewhere.

  19. Tom on 12 February 2009

    #18 no worries VS – better have the great finds up there in the wrong order than not at all! Any users can move tracks around (or delete them I think – but don’t do that please!)
