I’ve been a big (paying) fan of Spotify for about five years. Yeah, the early years were a bit shaky, but there is just something about being able to find almost all of my old faves on a music service that pretty much goes wherever I go.
Because I listen to such an odd diversity of artists and genres, one of my favorite things each Monday is seeing what is on the “Discover Weekly” playlist that the machine spits out for me. If you are not familiar, Spotify pulls together a playlist of personalized suggestions each week mixing old faves with new discoveries. I find mine generally enjoyable. Since this list is “personalized,” I thought I would start sharing it here in case anybody else gave a rat’s ass.
