Spotify pushes industry plants on you, doesn’t it?

[NoBacon]

I use the radio feature a lot to get diverse playlists instead of just my own ones endlessly. It doesn’t matter what genre I use, I always get this one song near the top.

“Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter. I have no idea why, it’s like bland Disney pop and has nothing to do with what I’m listening to, but it’s ALWAYS there. I don’t know who she is.

I just tried it by searching for a radio playlist based on Ray Wilson and it’s there again.

I started using spotify as an alarm and it will randomly use a different song, I PICKED THAT ONE FOR A REASON FUCK OFF.
I just use foobar2000 for my music.

Sounds like Spotify knows exactly what you like.

I just tried it and I don't get that song, probably because I don't listen to teenybopper bullshit.

there is a thread where you and I openly discussed enjoying carly rae jepsen

I don’t either, I suspect what’s happened is it’s been recommended and played so many times out of indifference that it now thinks I actually lvoe it.

It’s the same thing on YouTube if you let stuff auto play.

 

[Brooke Shields]

you can still download stuff off of youtube, this one changes every few months https://ytmp3.nu

then you have a physical copy you can store and not worry about losing. Why would I want possibly bad music like this or Ray Wilson to slip into my shit

My actual music taste is joy division, smiths, nirvana, new order, hacienda house music.

It’s generally quite good at recommending stuff but I’ve noticed recently it’s been pushing loads of bland generic shit pop music,

utterly class taste, mate. I listen to quite a few rave tunes that were played pretty regularly at the hacienda whenever I'm locked in at work

Have you seen the movie 24 hour party people? It’s one of the funniest movies of all time, that and spinal tap are my two fave comedy prezzies.

 

[LockedHDD__Pot]

The 'Daily Mix' it gives me is sometimes quite good at matching what I like, but I've got a lot of stuff in various playlists, & it's mostly not pop.
I hope it doesn't start suggesting shite

it's one of my all-time favourite films, about some of my all-time favourite bands. I still listen to joy division and happy mondays pretty regularly

After 2 songs I have to hear a spoiled kid read an essay about why his parents should buy him shit on Amazon and I get violently angry and want to go to the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Vegas.

I've met Shaun a few times, he's a very open & honest man. Their live shows are always great energy, even if Shaun's singing isn't on-point

shaun's singing was always a bit shit, but it adds to the whole atmosphere lmao. I do think he's a genuinely good songwriter

I still think about and laugh at one exchange in it, almost daily.

“What kind of music is it?”

“Sort of indie”

“Indian? Don’t want none of that”

“Metal, that’s what you want, they drink like the fucking queen mother”

Hallelujah club mix, tart tart and kuff dam get played a lot in my music lists but I don’t listen to any other stuff by them, not sure why it just doesn’t do it for me.

Recommendations are based on your preferences. Sounds like the algorithm knows you better than you know yourself.

I really think a few found their way in, and because I don’t turn them off while they play on the background, it’s played them so much it thinks I’m into it, so it pushes more, then the same thing happens till it thinks I like current day zog pop.

But it doesn’t do it to the few errant classic rock stuff, maybe it’s because new music gets precedent?

from that era there are loads of different mixes 'cus it was hot in the club scene - some better than others, can't remember my favourite 'WFL (Wrote for luck)' remix, but gonna find it later.
