What Spotify Would Be Like if It Existed in the ‘80s

I some­how missed this on Giz­modo this week — it’s a video cre­ated by Squirrel-Monkey.com that imag­ines what Spo­tify would look and sound like if it existed in the 1980’s.

I gotta say, though, I’m pretty dis­ap­pointed that we don’t get to hear The Smurf Song.

I’m a huge Spo­tify junkie and have been a pay­ing sub­scriber since it came to the United States last year. I lit­er­ally lis­ten to it every day, at both my work and home offices, as well as on my phone and in the car. How­ever, I still main­tain that you need Spo­tify, Google Music, and Pan­dora if you want to “have it all” when it comes to online music ser­vices. My lack of an iTunes endorse­ment is intentional.

And in case you missed it, here’s some 8-bit ‘80s music that doesn’t suck.
