and i really only revisit my 1-5

 

Is October in This Railroad Earth even still up anywhere? Not seeing it on Spotify or their Bandcamp, am I misremembering or did all the songs get put on Silver Turns to Rust anyway?

 

Looks like you're right. It did get slapped onto STTR. Tracks 5-10.

 

found this skate punk playlist on spotify, usually spotify playlists suck but this one has a lot of jams on it, they got the ataris at the top! check it out

 

I don’t even see The Ataris on there

 

they are the first song

 

The first song I see is AC/DC.

 

Yeah, Ataris aren’t even one of the 50 songs on there for me. I scrolled through twice thinking I was going crazy lol

 

they must have just changed it or something

=shakes fist=

 

That shit is probably a personalized playlist. Not 100% sure how they work but i think its like there’s a pool of songs drawn from based on your play history

 

From spotify: “Personalized editorial playlists are curated by our editors and personalized to every listener by our algorithms”

 

its made by spotify

 

Ya, its made by spotify. They label them “Personalized” playlists in the artist dashboard. So when u look at what playlists your song is on, some playlists (like Rap Cavier) are a single playlist across all users, but some of the still Spotify made playlists like Kick Flip are generated for that user, like how daily mixes and Discover stuff are.

you can tell which is which in the app i think. the ones that don’t vary just say “Spotify” up top, personalized ones have their logo and say “Made For _____”

 

Maybe this will be the year!

 

Haha pretty much too late for this year. There's always next year (and next year, and next year, etc.).

 

"just gotta finish up some lyrics/vocals..."

 

it's been 15 years since Graveyard was announced, might as well wait 15 more

 

Does Kris do anything outside of the Ataris?

 

Not really. He's performed with Goldfinger here and there a handful of times, but that's about it outside of The Ataris, I believe.

 

If he never puts it out, it's ok.

 

Really? I wonder how he keeps going as I can't imagine the tours are that lucrative? I just wish he would put a new record out already. The songs he did release were awesome and I really liked the re-recording of Fast Times at Drop-Out High.

 

From the little bit I've talked to him about it, I think part of the reason there hasn't been a new album is because he can't afford it. I mentioned doing a crowd funded album but he wasn't too keen on that idea. But it's like... dude, you have so many fans who want to hear new stuff, let us help each other out! haha. But I get it.
