#CrucialTracks 🎶 Today's prompt: Do you have a fun story about how you discovered a certain song?

Tide Lines - Far Side of the World

On a trip to Scotland with my mom, we took a 3-day minibus tour from Inverness to Orkney. Our driver Kev had a great playlist of Scottish music on in the bus. Instead of using my limited mobile data to try to identify this song so I could listen to more of the band later, I took a photo of the display screen.

Later, we ended up finding Kev's playlist on Spotify (eww), and it became the basis for my own "Take Me Back to Caledonia" mix on Deezer.

I know, I know 😞
You know me 🤷 I cheat to get the word spread.

Apparently the #Israeli IDF uses #Spotify as a source to spread their racist ideology 🤢
Thus #BoycottSpotify

Können wir JETZT bitte Spotify canceln?

Dass sie
- Künstler unterbezahlen
- Random Podcasts auslöschen
- Ki " Musik " zulassen
Und
- Werbung für ICE in den USA schalten, hat ja noch nicht gereicht.

Aber der 0-8-15 User wird das auch noch nutzen und wie so'n batteriebetriebener Klatschaffe die Hände aneinanderhauen und sinnentleert grinsen, während vor allem kleinen Künstlern jegliche Grundlage für ein auskommendes Schaffen zerstört wird.

Also, yes I am aware of inflation. Even when adjusted for inflation, the numbers are still too close. Copyright infringement is nowhere near as bad as war or The Holocaust (it isn't even a comparison, 0 damage versus almost 100% damage, had the genocide fully succeeded in killing all of its targets, it would be 100%) so why is it being treated so?

NOTE: I cannot fully confirm the $905b amount for German war reparations. This post will need a correction if a better source is found on this.

By the way, Spotify started out as an illegal file sharing site. They even contributed to the development of the BitTorrent protocol early on. It is possible that many of the original MP3 files are still being used to this day, and instead of people getting copies of them for free, they are now unknowingly paying for access to them (and not an actual copy of them) Pure hypocrisy!

RIAA example, for reference: a $75,000,000,000,000.00 (in 2010 money, this is equivalent to $104,714,174,718,939.55 as of 2026, March 16th at 11:59 pm PST) fine was issued by the RIAA in Arista Records LLC v. Lime Group LLC. This fine is larger than the entire global economy at the time. The RIAA in this trial was literally asking for all of the money in the world, and then some... over LimeWire.
