I can’t get the songs to play in Spotify.
Try opening the app in the background first. Then click on several different songs and be patient. Sometimes the app is slow to respond at first but eventually catches up.
Josh, your Spotify playlists are incredible. I’m going to be very busy with this for a very long time! Came across your Fall 1999 anthology and then thought, “Nice, this guy knows what’s up. Let me see what else he’s got!” Scrolled back up to the top… “Ok, wow, all the way back to the 40s, crazy! But awesome, let’s see what else… wait, these years are going up… he didn’t… he did! it goes all the way up to 2018!?” Cannot thank you enough for all the surely very very long hours spent compiling these… Clearly a labor of love. I have been looking to rediscover some of the truly wonderful forgotten hit songs from years long past, and this will be the single most useful tool I’ve ever seen to do this. So happy right now!
