lol those screengrabs at the end. Love it. I also think about how I make my playlists for holidays and home entertaining by hand, but it’s a serious time commitment (and one I don’t think most people want to undertake).
The best part is I forgot I had Carrie Underwood in my ears during the Spotify screengrab? Did I tell you I have a thing for female country singers? I'm using their songs to learn guitar? All things that are true! Next stop for me is billionaire T-Swift status.
And yes, your playlists are such a great example! You want to put time into that activity. It is your way of invoking a Pitchfork-like brain space. It's just not for most people and not something that produces a company and viable business model.
Since I worked at the mall in high school, I remember going to the music stores and listening to albums set up on the music stations. Although not sure if I discovered anything cool or not that way. I do sort of miss downloading random peoples music libraries on Napster or limewire, but the first few years of Spotify were a music discovery dream. I still listen to a lot of the random music I found back in 2011/2012.
Right, you didn't sit there and listen for hours, right? Just a few minutes. It was hard for you to capture much of a collection that way.
What's interesting is Spotify tried to do social. You can look at other people's playlists. But it wasn't and still isn't a feature that most people know anything about. I've watched or collaborated on just a small handful of playlists over many years of subscribing to playlist.
Otherwise, yes, the other day I went back through my old archive! So many good songs - albeit with poorly structured MP3 tag data.
