I've made a few references to the ongoing playlist I've got rolling at the bar that I manage, and now I want everyone's help. Use this thread to add reasonable suggestions and I'll do my best to work them into the queue. Songs with staying power will become standards.

A little background for the bar:

We're a high volume spot with 35 taps and a decent selection of whiskey, tequila, vodka etc. Basically a sports bar without food. The neighborhood is diverse as hell and the live music venue across the street takes the atmosphere different places from day to day. My playlists usually contain a healthy amount of upbeat indie and pop music geared towards a late 20's/early 30's kind of crowd, and occasionally I'll play things like Janelle Monae, Lorde, Post Malone...etc. Other rare times, like slow Monday happy hours, it might be Willie Nelson and Tom Petty. Instumenral funk makes it on there a lot. Alt-rock deep cuts and favorites make it on there a lot. Think Sonic Youth, Pavement, Dino Jr..

Is this a Spotify playlist? You could make it collaborative and give us all the link

I literally just went to pee, had that same idea, then rushed back to my laptop to update. You beat me to the punch. Stay tuned.

Jorge - A handful of your stupid pop punk songs from your Spotify have made it onto the current playlist, btw.

Just in certain zones. I have four zones (inside bar area, inside main area, patio front, patio back.) I can play either music from PC, sound from TV, or line in from DJ on each of those. NFL sound happens in main area and sometimes bar. Local playoff game sound for any sport happens everywhere.

I would hate the music in your bar.

Needs some gangsta rap and doom metal.

Is it collaborative? It's not letting me add anything

bodysnatcher · **Posted:** Thu August 30, 2018 10:19 pm

21 plays of "What's new pussycat" with a "It's not unusual" in the middle.
