I understand the criticism against #Spotify for providing playlists with bland faceless background #muzak that they don't have to pay royalty for. But I don't understand the user behaviour that enables this scheme, where people ever dial up background muzak from Spotify. My main way of using the service is to listen randomly to my 1500 favourite non-bland non-faceless songs.

"For more than a year, I devoted myself to answering these questions. I spoke with former employees, reviewed internal Spotify records and company Slack messages, and interviewed and corresponded with numerous musicians. What I uncovered was an elaborate internal program. Spotify, I discovered, not only has partnerships with a web of production companies, which, as one former employee put it, provide Spotify with “music we benefited from financially,” but also a team of employees working to seed these tracks on playlists across the platform. In doing so, they are effectively working to grow the percentage of total streams of music that is cheaper for the platform. The program’s name: Perfect Fit Content (PFC). The PFC program raises troubling prospects for working musicians. Some face the possibility of losing out on crucial income by having their tracks passed over for playlist placement or replaced in favor of PFC; others, who record PFC music themselves, must often give up control of certain royalty rights that, if a track becomes popular, could be highly lucrative. But it also raises worrying questions for all of us who listen to music. It puts forth an image of a future in which—as streaming services push music further into the background, and normalize anonymous, low-cost playlist filler—the relationship between listener and artist might be severed completely."

I dag sad vi og snakkede om hvor meget umådelig dum, lav-lix pop der bliver produceret i danmark - topgun, Emil stabil Rasmus Seebach, pattesutter, osv osv.
Min kone kom forbi og konstaterede tørt: jamen du hørte jo Roben & Knud da du var ung og dum. Og hun har jo ret - hver generation har sin pøbel pleaser fra laveste hylde.....og nu kan jeg så ikke få alle de gode gamle Roben og Knud sange ud af hovedet
