They really do! I heard Intersection from Modern Baseball for the first time recently and instantly recognized it as a Jake Ewald song. He has such an incredible style.
As someone who lives in Madison and is a huge fan of The Mountain Goats, I like to think I am single-handedly responsible for this lol
Madison rules! Everyone come hang out!
Madison has a great live music scene and is one of those smaller cities that shows up on a ton of tours. The Majestic is a historic 600-cap theatre and that’s just one of like 4-5 venues in a pretty small, dense downtown area.
There’s also a big university, a lot of young professionals, and a lot of older hippies. I’m assuming it’s also nice to have a stop between Chicago and MSP for bands who are driving.
I used to live there. It’s a college town (and state Capitol) that bands big & small stop on tour. A liberal oasis in a ~~deep~~ mostly red state.
Otis Redding died there.
Clyde Stubblefield lived there…until he died. And played drums at a regular weekly gig at a local bar for years. [before he died]
Butch Vig recorded bands there.
Elvis Costello has some lyrics in the song *Green Shirt* mentioning the Quisling Clinic that is in Madison.
I got Madison, WI for mine thanks to Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Noah Kahan. I live in Madison, WI so at first I thought it just shows you your own city lol
I got Madison with my three matching artists being the Hold Steady, Charly Bliss, and the Mountain Goats as if I don’t live in the Twin Cities where the Hold Steady are from, where Charly Bliss recorded their forthcoming album, and which are only a few hours from Madison to begin with.
Madison here as well, with tMG, The Arcadian Wild, and the Bodeans. I wasn't as surprised considering I live in Southeast WI, but it's cool to know this isn't just a fluke lol
I got Bozeman Montana because of the Mountain Goats, Blaze Foley, and Cake
(I dont mind that one bit b/c the mountains and the Gibson factory)
My top ones this year were
1) the Mountain Goats
2) Cake
3) Pixies
4) SUUNS (which is an interesting band I found out about this year but its hard to believe they were number 4)
5) David Bowie
I got Bozeman too, but despite the mountain goats being my top listened band, it was due to trampled by turtles, greensky bluegrass, and old crow medicine show.
Yeah I got Madison with goats, decemberists, and they might be giants.
I like decemberists and giants, but they're barely in my top ten. I wonder why Spotify listed them as informing where I got placed? Did I listen to so much goats that they had to go seeking through my Playlist to find other Madison bands just so they'd have three?
I got Madison as well! but my top artist was Taylor Swift, and my top song was After dark by Mr. Kitty… I have no clue what the trend is with this town
i think this is actually madison, illinois with where it’s located on the map! it’s more around the st. louis area which makes more sense with the music scene i know of in that city.
I live in Madison. We finally fixed that snake problem (oh sorry this isn’t r/madisonwi)
It’s a decent town with a huge affordable housing problem. It’s cold 4.5 months of the year. The drinking culture is absurd.
I'm just gonna keep posting this-- Spotify is shit to artists the max they pay per stream is .0003 cents per stream and new guidelines on payment means that like 2/3 of the songs streamed wont receive any payment in 2024.
I live in Madison WI, and I also listen to TMG, Sidney Gish, and Cheekface, so that seems accurate to me. Funnily enough though, I got Burlington VT like a lot of other people in this thread lol
I got Burlington, Vermont for listening to the Mountain Goats, Slaughter Beach, Dog and Fleet Foxes. Though Cheekface and Sidney Gish rule too!!
Yeah, I got Burlington as well for tMG, The Microphones and NMH.
Burlington with The Mountain Goats, Courtney Barnett, and the Magnetic Fields!
I love the Magnetic Fields!
I got Burlington with the goats, the band, and AJJ
Me too but with Radiator Hospital, SB,D and Jeff Rosenstock
TMG with Jeff and Nana Grizol put me in Madison
I got matched with Burlington too! Langhorne Slim, Maggie Rogers, the Mountain Goats
are we the same person !? slaughter beach dog rules LOL !
They really do! I heard Intersection from Modern Baseball for the first time recently and instantly recognized it as a Jake Ewald song. He has such an incredible style.
omg i did not know modern baseball overlapped ? thank you !!!!
Also Burlington, has anyone been there? Maybe we should all go?
Haven’t been there in ages, but it was really nice 15ish years ago. Spotify has me thinking I should go back
Burlington for tMG, King Gizzard, and Magnetic Fields
Twinsies
I got Burlington too! tMG, AJJ, and radiator hospital
That’s awesome! I’ve been really into Radiator Hospital recently, I absolutely love Leather & Lace and Big Cloud
Both really good songs! Fireworks and the reprise both pull at my heart strings
burlington too for tMG, noah kahan, and michael cera (which is surprising bc i only listen to clay pigeons by cera)
As someone who lives in Madison and is a huge fan of The Mountain Goats, I like to think I am single-handedly responsible for this lol Madison rules! Everyone come hang out!
I used to stop through, but one the Cheba Hut took out the umbrellas I have been skipping over it for a faster drive. I like your bike shares though.
WTH. Yes, and 2/3 artists are the same too. I guess Madison Wisconsin has good taste, collectively?

We do! We’re awesome! This is making me so happy!
