I feel like my relationship with Spotify Radio has developed a whole bunch of passive-aggressive land mines I didn't account for when I signed up.

Spotify playing 20 Death Cab for Cutie songs on my Spotify Radio today despite no "thumbs up" from me is like the tech version of the "you'll really like this one, then, I promise, I'll just play this one and if you don't like it, then we can stop listening to them, but just this one last one, I PROMISE you'll like it" musically-earnest-but-misguided ex-boyfriend.

It's like the music version of "just the tip, just to see how it feels, and if you don't like it, we can stop."

But you know what? We never stop when we do that. Maybe not because it feels awesome...maybe not because it's the right thing to do...but because you're there, and it's just happening, and even though it's not particularly great, it's also not particularly awful, so we might as well just "listen to that one last song."

And then we'll break up with you and never tell you why!

I guess what I'm trying to say is: I don't really hate Death Cab, but I don't so much like them, either. And I definitely don't want to have sex with them, Spotify, so I really wish you would stop trying to make that happen. It's not going to. And the more you try to make it happen, the less I'm going to want to give in.

(Unless, you know, we're just lying in bed together, naked, taking a "nap" on some lazy Saturday afternoon while they're spending the weekend at my house. Then it's just doing what nature intended and seeing where this crazy ride takes us, yeah? You get it.)
