Spotify playlist: One Foot In The 60s

I did this Spotify playlist for the Electric Roulette site originally, thinking it was probably a little too leftfield for the Modculture site. But with so many visitors here having varied tastes in music, the One Foot In The 60s playlist might be up your street.

Everything on the playlist is from the modern(ish) era, everyone from the B-52s and REM through to the likes of Jarvis Cocker, The Shortwave Set and The Coral...there's even an obscure Kylie Minogue cover to make things even more interesting. The connection in them all? Either the song or act has taken some inspiration from the 1960s.

20 tracks, lasting well over an hour and available to hear now if you have a Spotify account.

Spotify playlist: Ska & Rocksteady

If you fancy dipping your toe into vintage Jamaican sounds, but haven't been sure where to start, might I recommend this Spotify playlist? It goes by the simple, but descriptive name of Ska & Rocksteady.

And that's exactly what you get from Sulli (off the Modculture forums) - classic ska and rocksteady culled (primarily) from the 1960s, the likes of Don Drummond, early Bob Marley, The Maytals, Tommy McCook - you know the kind of thing.

23 tracks lasting around one hour, just crank up your Spotify to hear it.

Not done one of these for a while, so here's a Spotify playlist produced by Zammo on the Modculture forums, going by the name of In At The Outhouse.

It's packed with 35 old school grooves - jazz, blues, R&B, Hammond, a touch of Latin you know the kind of thing. the soundtrack to a groovy basement bar of 40+ years back.
