Spotify

Doesn’t it always seem like those Europeans get everything first?! No wait, that’s the Japanese and by everything we were thinking tech gear and oddly flavored snacks. One thing those guys over the pond and beyond (side note – good name for a pond store) did have was the awesome power of Spotify. Now that we’re getting our shot here there is definitely a reason to be excited. Basically think of Spotify as a jukebox that happens to be the size of a city.  You can listen on your computer to almost any track at any time you want.  Make a playlist and share it with friends and never have to keep hunting down music and doing something as silly as paying for it. You can upgrade to Premium for $5/month and have the ability to use Spotify on your phone & even listen offline to your playlists—oh and you’ll cut the line and get it first and then tease your friends who are waiting.
