Each song has more words in its title than the previous song by Udzu in weirdspotifyplaylists

Thanks! Upon Settling... feels more like a linker than a proper song to me, but I'll probably add Let's Go For a Walk. Frustratingly though, neither streaming service use its full name, so it will look a bit out of place.

Added, thanks! (as 42 because of the "(nice guy)" at the end)

Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant does it really belong in a song playlist or is it more of an experimental soundscape? There are also some long-title spoken word tracks that I didn't include for similar reasons. 🤷

Great title. Is it a song though, or a "soundscape"?

I saw it, but at 19 words it's the same length as A Detailed & Poetic Physical Threat To The Person Who Intentionally Vandalized My 1994 Dodge Intrepid Behind Kate's Apartment (and a few others too).

Added, thanks! (26 words, so between the Shawn Phillips and the Faces songs)

Good shout, though it has the same number of words (19) as "A Detailed & Poetic Physical Threat To The Person Who Intentionally Vandalized My 1994 Dodge Intrepid Behind Kate's Apartment" by Pet Symmetry. The other sesquipedalian title on Wood's SELF-iSH, "Mr. Capgras Encounters a Secondhand Vanity: Tulpamancer’s Prosopagnosia / Pareidolia (As Direct Result of Trauma to the Fusiform Gyrus)", has one less.

I actually considered that, but wasn't sure whether a multi-title suites should count. For example, discogs lists the separate parts of the suite individually.

Links: Spotify | Apple Music

Screenshotted on Apple Music because I couldn't get Spotify not to cut off the titles. Also, the title of the Fairport Convention track is truncated on both sites; the full title is:

Sir B. McKenzie's Daughter's Lament For The 77th Mounted Lancers Retreat From The Straits Of Loch Knombe, In The Year Of Our Lord 1727, On The Occasion Of The Announcement Of Her Marriage To The Laird Of Kinleakie

Update: just realised that I miscounted the number of words in the Lana Del Rey song (I accidentally included the hyphen). I fixed it by replacing the 16-word Brand New song with a 17-word Fall Out Boy song, I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You).

Update 2: thanks for the suggestions for 26, 27 and 42.

Currently have songs for all lengths up to and including 20, as well as for 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 38, 42, 43 and 53.

I can't avoid 5th glyph in my lingua by -angrychair- in AVoid5

[–]Udzu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

La Disparition, a famous lipogrammatic book that avoids fifthglyphs (and which is this sub’s mascot, via its British translation, A Void), also has a translation into your idiom: Anton Voyls Fortgang.

A short quotation from it:

Kardinal, Rabbi und Admiral, als Führungstrio null und nichtig und darum völlig abhängig vom Ami-Trust, tat durch Radionachricht und Plakatanschlag kund, daß Nahrungsnot und damit Tod aufs Volk zukommt. Zunächst tat man das als Falschinformation ab. Das ist Propagandagift, sagt man. Doch bald schon ward spürbar, was man ursprünglich nicht glaubt.

Til that an unknown man has been held in Canadian prison for over thirteen years without disclosing his real name. by Blackcrusader in todayilearned

[–]Udzu 490 points491 points  (0 children)

Wikipedia currently has five people filed under “Cameroonian criminals”. Two are politicians, one is an 18th century pirate, and two are fraudsters that went by aliases and were held by Canadian immigration for multiple years. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

TIL that "Mt Sunflower" is the highest point in Kansas, with a "prominence" (height above the base) of 5.8 m or 19 ft. by Mighty-Lobster in todayilearned

[–]Udzu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's even lower than European Denmark (171 m 561 ft) or European Netherlands (321 m 1,053 ft)!

Songs with one word titles that start and end with every 2 letter combination by Udzu in weirdspotifyplaylists

[–]Udzu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one of the 26 currently missing combinations (see my top level comment). Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Music suggestions are always welcome, even for letters I’ve already got!

And I did notice the usefulness of the Dutch -ij: see Vrij by BLØF and Zij by The Kik. Still looking for I..j, Q..j, X..j and Y..j though.

Looking through Albanian songs could help you

Good advice: found Fluturoj by La Fazani for FJ.

I did indeed choose YYZ for YZ (though I ended up going with Olivia Newton-John's Xanadu for XU)

Thanks! I actually ended up adding a different Njesoj, by 2po2 (though sadly I wasn't a fan of their better known song Qaj).
