As I moaned on the other thread: hasn't scrobbled properly for me (or a shitload of other Mac users) for two weeks now; despite a lengthy thread on Get Satisfaction in which a Spotify chap promised us they'd worked out what the problem was, we're still waiting on the upgrade. Given that it was an (unwanted/un-asked-for/forced-upon-us) upgrade that fucked it in the first place, I've kind of gone off it a bit.

this is the year i gave up and became a spotify user. part of me doesn't feel good about it. the other part is elated to be able to make playlists like this one, which recreates the radio station my high school besties and i used to listen to. to me it evokes a time of waiting for a song i liked to come on so i could tape it, of sitting in my room for hours on end and calling in to win free tapes and CDs as much as humanly possible.
we all participated in making it and frankly it's one of the highlights of my truly abysmal year. a micro-highlight was one day when i remembered the lyric "I'll cross that bridge when I get to it" and googled until i found out what the song was, after 30+ years. i truly dislike many of these songs but it effectively recreates the experience of listening to the station and that brings me joy. https://bit.ly/3NDv1IK
― Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Saturday, 23 December 2023 16:01 (eight months ago) link
the station was operated by the local public school district but behaved more like a college station and drew from those charts. our playlist represents the time we listened to it, roughly 88-93. back in the last century lol.

Glad you’re enjoying! It’s so evocative for me that I choose when to listen to it strategically. I love that I have the same zing feeling when a song i like comes on. They used to have “mini concerts” aka blocks of songs by one artist and I lived for the day they did the Replacements one. When I hear Sixteen Blue in this context, alongside a random assortment of songs I heard contemporaneously, I can hear it through the ears of young me again. It’s a delight!
