Masterlist of Cap-IM Stevetony Spotify Playlists

[cap_ironman_fe]

Welcome to the new music corner of the Cap-IM community!

Listening to music while you create Stevetony works and making your own playlists to accompany certain fics can be an important or enjoyable part of the process for many fans. We're hopefully going to make this easier for you with our brand-new Spotify account! While you need to sign up for an account to use Spotify, there is a free tier available.

Here's the Cap-IM Comm profile!

A series of public Stevetony playlists have been created to start things off, divided into three themes: universe, event and mood playlists. If you would like us to add another playlist, please either comment on this post with the name (i.e. please can you make a Stevetony coffee shop AU playlist) or email us the same at cap.im.mods@gmail.com.

You can click on the Cap-IM profile directly to see the playlists and subscribe to them so that they appear at the bottom of your left sidebar, along with all the others you've added to your own account.

The playlists are all collaborative, which means that a Spotify user who clicks on any of the links below can add songs. They are currently stubs, and we encourage you to add to them and share your music tastes with the community! If you don't want to add songs directly, you can also comment Stevetony-themed songs on this post and we'll add them to the appropriate playlist for you. We welcome music of all types, in all languages!

When you add a song on Spotify, you also have the option of hopping over to our editable spreadsheet of playlist songs, which also has a column for why you think that a certain song is great for inspiring a certain Stevetony mood! Maybe it was a specific line, maybe the rhythm—whatever it is, we'd love to hear about it! This is also an easy way for people without a Spotify account to see all of the songs that are currently on the playlists.

Lastly, we welcome people posting links to their own Stevetony playlists in the comments as well. It's a great way to be inspired and discover new songs and artists.

Hi! Love the playlists, I think they're a great idea. Hope you don't mind my adding a few (a lot) of songs. I kinda went nuts, haha.

Anyway, I also have a Ults Tony playlist, for your listening pleasure! Enjoy <3

Thanks for your additions, we welcome them all!

BTW, the happy times playlist isn't opening. (Which made me laugh, ngl.) Is the link broken?

We had a couple of issues with a few links, but they should have all been fixed now, thanks for letting us know!

Don't take it as a sign that Steve and Tony don't deserve happy times together, haha (and please do add to that one, as it is very much a stub right now).

Sorry for the third comment! I should just made a DW account... but anyway, are you going to add pictures to the playlists?

Playlist pictures

Hi Nigmuff - it's no trouble at all, we welcome comments! And we keep them open to anon commenting so that there's no need to get a DW if you don't want to <3

We have now got an image up for all the cap-im playlists :)

What a fantastic resource. (I've got to go through my own Spotify lists and see what I have to add!)

A few problems with the links:

The "Hickmanvengers Playlist" link goes to the Extremis playlist.

The "Infinity War Playlist," "Secret Empire Playlist," and "Stevetony Happy Times Playlist" links seem to be broken.

[cap_ironman_fe]

Thanks for checking all those so thoroughly, Mireille, that's super appreciated! Seems like when we tinkered with those playlists (trying to make them publicly searchable AND also collaborative, which doesn't seem to be possible?) we caused the links to stop working.

They've all been updated!

We look forward to you adding your own music when you have the time :)

[that_mireille]

It was less "thorough checking" and more "oooh, I need these saved to my Spotify library for writing purposes!" Thanks for fixing them!

[hopelesse]

Playlists you say???

I definitely have some stuff to add to a few of these lists, but since you don't have one for SIM yet, may I present: Superior Iron Man: Most fun I ever had

isozyme and I also have a giant list of Civil War songs. So many that it'd maybe be a bit overwhelming to add them all to what you've already got >.> Here's slightly over 2 hours of hella angst: It Wasn't Worth It

[cap_ironman_fe]

Hi Hopelesse,

Thanks for those additions! We are happy to create more playlists (for example divide Civil War into 616 and MCU Civil War?) if you feel like there's still lots of ground to be covered, but you are of course welcome to share your own masterpieces as well.

Not strictly relevant to the topic, but I absolutely want to see one of Izozyme's fem!Tony fight scenes set to Butt Trumpet's "I've Been So Mad Lately," which is not on Spotify. CW for (hilarious) swearing:

Ahahahaha oh my god incredible. I actually do have a playlist for one of iso's femslash fics! Fire Drills, feat. the Peaches classic Fuck the Pain Away: https://open.spotify.com/user/melaniehopes/playlist/5d4AEp0a9z3VTuGRrfcg7T?si=MAxFdOjLSVCHF5RVwpKTeQ

New Playlist Added

[cap_ironman_fe]

There's now a new playlist in play - for all your Stevetony ~sexytime~ needs ;)

We'll comment on this thread for any other playlists that get added so that people are notified directly if they track this post. You can also comment here if you have a new playlist request!

Re: New Playlist Added

[spikethemuffin]

It would be wonderful to me if, when songs were added, people would comment here stating why they added them!

Re: New Playlist Added

[cap_ironman_fe]

There is now an Avengers: Endgame playlist!

Currently empty, it's waiting for everyone who's seen the movie so far to fill it with music that encompasses all the ~feels~ you may have

Re: New Playlist Added

[cap_ironman_fe]

You now have the opportunity to see all the songs in playlists and add reasons for why they were addded!

Non-spotify-users can also see the songs more easily through the spreadsheet

[impala_chick]

This is so cool!

[samej]

Thank you for this!

Nigmuff here! I was inspired by spikethemuffin, so I thought I would give my reasons for adding the songs that I did.

The AA playlist was totally empty when I opened it, which was a shame, but also gave me complete freedom to shape the playlist however I wanted it. AA is fun and adventure-y and lighthearted, but the best part is the completely healthy and loving relationship Steve and Tony have in it. Since even the AA wiki thinks they're married, I knew what the theme would be: their wedding playlist! It came out jazz-y because I love jazz.

Next, I saw that the 1872 playlist was a stub, and that just wouldn't do. Songs about drinking were a must, so in went One Scotch, Lilac Wine (I even found one version sung by a guy for max homo), and When I Get Low. Now, you may be wondering why two electro swing songs, Lone Digger and Geraldine's Routine, got in. I'm wondering that myself. They just? Fit?? Lone Digger at least has murderous undertones, but Geraldine's Routine I have no justification for. They just make me think of 1872 somehow. It's the kind of songs that would play if they tried to infiltrate a bar, with Steve trying to do his job and Tony trying to get in his pants. Does that make sense? After that was Stardust and Danny Boy for Reasons (I mean Angst) and then I remembered, oh yeah, cowboy musicals! How could I forget about those?? The Deadwood Stage is the opening song for Calamity Jane, so I felt it would get us all in the mood for some cowboys and latent homosexuality. Lida Rose/Will I ever Tell You is gorgeous, and also fits. A few more musical numbers fit the bill, and I'm still debating whether I want to add Bless Your Beautiful Hide or not. It would hilarious.

I'd love to hear other people's reasons as well! You can also chat with everyone on the 616 server; we stayed up late once as we added songs in a frenzy.

Reasoning for song picks

[cap_ironman_fe]

Belatedly – commenting why you added a song is a fantastic idea, and we do invite you to take Nigmuff and spikethemuffin’s initiative here and add your reasoning when you add a song to one of our playlists, or what you think are the characteristics of a good Stevetony song!

The mod who put together the initial playlists would like to confess that the reason for the AA playlist being blank is that they’ve only seen a couple of episodes, so considered it better left to those who could make a better assessment. Additionally, choosing happy songs (with happy lyrics, not just songs that were upbeat) was a bit of a challenge—it’s so much easier to find fitting angsty songs!

In general, sometimes there were songs that had fantastically fitting titles, but the rhythm and lyrics didn’t suit so they were discarded, and songs that were otherwise suited but had multiple mentions of “girlfriend” or “my girl” etc. were avoided.

If anyone is interested in the reasoning behind choosing a specific song in any of the playlists (or the placement of a song in a particular playlist as opposed to another) you are welcome to ask here!
