Canadian producer Dan Snaith has had an amazing 2014, releasing one of the most appreciated album of that year, Our Love and selling out many show all over the world.
Today, he decided to thank his fans for their loyalty by putting together 1000 songs by various artists such as The Zombies, Manfred Mann, Canned Heat, Nina Simone, Gang Starr, Kanye West, Jay Z, Neutral Milk Hotel, Kraftwerk and Led Zeppelin.
One rule has been set however by Snaith: listen to it on shuffle.
Here’s Snaith’s post announcing the mixtape:
The last few years of my life have been incredible, thanks in large part to all of you – so I’ve been thinking of how to say thank you.
As you can imagine, music has been a central love of my life since I was a teenager and over the years I’ve been introduced to a lot that has stayed with me. I’ve collected the majority of that music here – and I thought sharing it with you seemed like one way I could say thanks.I’m sure some things are under-represented or over-represented, but roughly speaking this is a musical history of my life. Of course a lot of this music has come to me through my friends – thank you to Koushik, Kieran, Jeremy, Gary, Brandon, Jason, Sam, Ketan, Ryan, Toby and many others…
Also, please share music with me that you think I would like but is not included here, in the hope this becomes a dialogue rather than a monologue.I suggest you listen to this on shuffle as I made no attempt to sequence these tracks – I just entered them as I browsed along the shelves in my record collection. If you see dead links or duplicate songs please tweet me @caribouband.
Due to a fault in youtube’s playlist coding if you embed this playlist it will be truncated down to 200 tracks. Hopefully they will resolve that at some point but for now if you want to hear all 1000 songs you need to listen at the link below.
