@endo forgot about Amy. “Love is a losing game” one of my all time favourites

[Matt]

Honestly the women artists round could be repeated and be just as good of a playlist.

[T4920]

And on we go! How are y'all defining obscurity? I went with any artist below 20k monthly listeners on Spotify, but it's obviously a subjective term...

[T4920]

@SKT mine too! The opening track is one of my favourite songs of all time, but I thought the title track was more 'powerful' for this round.

[ARNC]

@T4920 I didn't go by stats, just artists I thought people wouldn't know and (importantly) I think are worth hearing. As it happens, one choice is around 21K and the other less than 2k, so I get a compensatory pass! I decided to spare you the artist with only 28 monthly listeners!

Really looking forward to this round!

[T4920]

@ARNC I have one with 910, I saw them perform in a practically empty pub once but one of their songs stuck with me, and became a certified classic amongst my friend group.

[Giles]

I did not join this because I could not commit the time, but I have the covers playlist playing a lot.

Had I selected a track, this would have been it.....

[mclaincausey]

The playlists can really be keepers and ways to expand your horizons too! Glad you’re enjoying @Giles and love the “submission,” keep ‘em coming!

[jerkules]

Someone had already chosen one of my obscure choices! Not very obscure of me, interested to see who chose it. Won’t let the cat out the bag yet, but kudos to whoever it was.

[ARNC]

@jerkules I really hope it wasn’t me - seems unlikely but what’s obscure to one person might be common knowledge to someone else!

[jerkules]

@ARNC we’ll see, it’s cool to see similar tastes when they arise. It really made me laugh when I got the message cause I thought it was a fairly obscure band, and not even their top song on Spotify

[ARNC]

@jerkules if they’re not Swiss, I’m safe. If they are, I’m sorry!

[jerkules]

@ARNC you’re safe!

[endo]

@ARNC my experience ensures that pretty much everything 'swiss' can be obscure

[ARNC]

@endo I might or might not have fallen down a Swiss music rabbit hole a few years ago! Most of it is as far from Swiss stereotypes as you can get.

[endo]

now I'm very curious about it

[SKT]

That Snail Mail song from last round slaps…put it on a loop last weekend. Arlo Parks too. Loving that whole playlist

[Matt]

Saw SM last week. She rocked. That whole album is great @SKT Check it if you haven’t already.

[SKT]

@Matt bet that show was great. Will dig into her catalog now

[Tago Mago]

@Alex @Graham curious to see your choices
