A long time ago in a galaxy far away, music bloggers used to open up their music library, hit random, and list the first 10 or so songs that played. It was stone age music sharing, only without the ability to, you know, actually hear the music.
I did a bunch of those posts. Here’s one I did on October 22, 2005. It was like writing quarter notes on the cave walls of my blog.
It just got a whole lot better.
As anyone who reads my blog, talks to me for more than a minute or wanders into my office knows, I am deeply in love with Spotify. One of the many reasons why, is because Spotify finally gets music right- and legal- in the social arena. It’s like a better, faster, legal Napster.
So…
I went back to that old post, and made a Spotify playlist. Of the 10 songs that randomly played that day, 8 of them are available on Spotify. And remember, I have a huge and very, very diverse song library. If Spotify has – or can soon get – anywhere close to 80% of my song library, that will be pretty impressive.
Here’s that playlist, from 2005. If you have Spotify, the app will open the playlist. (NOTE: when I change the Jukebox playlist, the songs below will change to the current list)
The only songs I couldn’t find on Spotify are What You Want, by The Mertons, and Girl About a Song, by Jonathan Gregg.
I’m going to start making new Jukebox playlists, and sharing them via Spotify. So get ready for good music. Oh, and go sign up for Spotify.
