Fugees. Forgot the Fugees. Jesus.

"Fugees" derives from the word "refugee." I'm guessing a computer made that decision. Yes, glenn? Or is this related to Trump's order to ban Hatians from the US?

At least Spotify is making sure that Queen get some recognition in these trying times.

Tidal is busy talking about some random guy named Kalief Broder on their front page. And seriously. Who even knows who that is? But Queen!

No worries, Herr Doktor. I think I've said all that I needed to say. And I think we're all aware that any criticism on ilm of Spotify or glenn ist inakzeptabel, for who will take care of our statistics if he ever leaves. I'm going to listen to the Spotify playlist of refugee artists like Queen und der Fugees, relax, and take a break. Best to you and to glenn und Spotify, who are busy fighting the good fight.

I think we're all aware that criticism of Spotify or its employees is grounds for instant ban on ILM. No need to get Sleeve on the case. I'll be gone by morning.

Godwin (and XKCD and various other bits) were crafted for different times. Regardless, that Spotify "Refugee" playlist is insane, and ought to also include the Tom Petty song and the Genesis song for all that it's good for.
― dlp9001, Tuesday, 31 January 2017 05:29 (seven years ago) link
which Tom Petty song? "Zombie Zoo"?

Hahaha at that spotify playlist... I might be wrong but it kind of has a concept tho... I guess it's about immigrant artists or something? MIA is from Sri Lanka, Freddie Mercury from Tanzania, Wyclef is from Haiti, Gloria Stefan from Cuba... but they're not refugees... it's a weird concept... (only refugee artist in there is Caetano I think?)

I wish there were more places to find political commentary online than on the front pages of our streaming services, but someone has to lead the charge I guess

I think they've added "The Immigrant Song" in case that helps.
people might have had similar reactions toward tidal if they'd known it exists

I think we just need a contest for great songs to add to the Spotify playlist. Let's be supportive. Did Roman Polanski record anything worth adding?

Can you post the Tidal link to that?

Yes. I'll post it on the Tidal thread. Go wait for it there.
― glenn mcdonald, Thursday, 2 February 2017 00:58 (seven years ago) link
Oh, just post it here. It's making a major impact on Trump, and deserves to be as widely heard as possible. I hear that the Spotify Refugee thread is making a lot of people rethink their attitudes towards Queen.
― dlp9001, Thursday, 2 February 2017 01:01 (seven years ago) link
What the fuck is your problem?
― glenn mcdonald, Thursday, 2 February 2017 01:05 (seven years ago) link
I mean, do you realize that Queen was banned from all US sporting events for years, that their albums were restricted from sale at major outlets, and that they're barely known in the US, even by those who grew up during their heyday. It is seriously no fun being a ....refugee.
― dlp9001, Thursday, 2 February 2017 01:08 (seven years ago) link
Luckily, as I understand it, Spotify is planning to move to the US to avoid the horrible restrictions on business in Sweden.

As we all know, housing and education are just ducky in NY (glenn, you're from NY so probably have a lot of info on this). So it must be those, and not the stock options.

Is it possible to post an entire persona to the trenchant thread?
― Sufjan Grafton, Thursday, 2 February 2017 01:15 (seven years ago) link
After you look up the definition of trenchant, perhaps. Look, we all love glenn. Without him, we wouldn't know which Popp and Jopp voter was the most like the 10th percentile of the top Jopp and Pazz voters. I get that. And he likes metal (now that Julianna Hatfield has taken out an order of protection). Rock on. Seriously. I loves me that Smoke on the Agua song. Anyway, Spotify. Refugees. Discuss.
