Spotify. How many discussions have been had about this already?! Too many. But here’s my take:
I’ve been using Spotify for a few months now, and I liken the experience to that of buying new fall boots. All the fashion mags start writing about the “must have boot for fall!” Ohh! I want those! I see them in the store, and I have em cuz, you know, “must have!” I already have boots kinda like em, but, those are old. These are NEW!
So I get the new boots and wear them and think, “hmm..maybe they don’t really look good on MY feet.” And then as they start to break in and become mine, I realize I’m probably gonna love em for a long time.
So it’s been with Spotify – only I’m cheap and haven’t paid anything for it yet.. So, admittedly, maybe I’m not getting the full experience. I still like my old “boots”, known as MOG, and am not quite ready to part with it.
My favorite use of Spotify is in creating a list of new stuff I like and bands that I want to keep an eye on. I’m not too sure about most of these bands yet, I haven’t seen most of them live, but there’s something that gets my attention and I want to be able to revisit them easily.
I’ve created a playlist- I call it, “New Stuff I Like”. How original is that?!
I’ll be updating this as often as I stumble on something interesting. Stay tuned..
