Back in March of 2021 I considered what would be on a playlist for a program to introduce the history of indie and alternative music to non-western audiences. I've given more thought to that question since then, and have actually started producing a series of 30 episodes of exactly 59 minute durations in which I introduce music to give an overview of the scope and history of alternative and indie music. Many of the songs are chosen because they represent interesting genres, or because they are songs that appear on multiple lists of "best songs" or "most influential songs" on various websites. I also considered that the intended audience would be Mandarin-speaking audiences in China and Taiwan. Also, as I'm hoping to get these played on radio stations in Taiwan and China, so that there can be increased interest in these types of bands (so that these sorts of bands could successfully tour in Taiwan, at least), I have especially represented the music of Doug Martsch (Built to Spill), in the hopes that he can take his band to Taiwan someday. Also, I chose shorter songs so we could fit the music into 59-minute episodes. Frequently there were longer songs that would have been better, but the shorter songs were good enough, and allowed more songs in an episode.
So, here are the playlists for 30 episodes. I have started translating and recording the first 15 episodes and the 24th episodes, but the others are still just in the planning stage, and especially the final six episodes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
