The Spotify Experience
February 17th, 2012
A curious musical thing happened to me at a party last weekend. My friend said, “We’re going to Aaron X’s house.” I didn’t know Aaron, but his name sounded so familiar. We arrived at his place to the sound of Explosions in the Sky reverberating off the walls. And then it hit me: I knew Aaron from Spotify. His playlist “Good Music” had been trending amongst my friends for the last 2 weeks. In fact, I had “Starred” the Explosions song that was playing when we walked in. I might not have known Aaron, but I already liked him because I knew what kind of music he listened to.
