Spotify: Digital Music Service or Stain Remover?

December 15, 2011

I’m totally late to the Spotify gate, but I’ve been using it lately — and also often, as it pops up every time I load my computer, which is kind of annoying, but at the same time reminds me on a daily basis that I’ve been relying on my comfort-zone pool of tunes, and that I should really get out there and explore more music — Bon Jovi’s “I Wish Every Day Could Be Like Christmas” anyone? (I fixed the song title for grammatical accuracy, it had “every day” as one word which ain’t right.)

So today — after finally listening to some serious Florence + the Machine (it’s a whiff whiny, no?) — it popped into my head that Spotify sounds like a stain remover product. After pondering this further, I realized that that wasn’t quite right, because that might imply that you’re “applying” (i.e. “-fying”) a spot…for example, “I’m going to spotify my shirt with pretend puke so I can go home early from work/school/daycare.”

Conclusion? Spotify is a digital music service. It is not a stain remover. But it is a new verb that I’m going to use next time I spill red wine on myself — “Damn, I just spotified my white pantsuit, I just had this unspotified!” Or if I ever have a dog name Spot, it would go something like this: “Be sure to take Spot out before you leave so he doesn’t spotify Gramma’s new Snuggie.”

(P.S. I took this image from the blog Grubby Girls, which gives some great advice on how to de-spotify an ink stain from your clothes here.)
