I found the real Spotify accounts of celebrities, politicians, and journalists. Many use their real names. With a little sleuthing, I could say with near-certainty: yep, this is them.
We’ve been scraping their accounts since summer 2024. Playlists, live listening feed, everything. I know what songs they played, when, and how many times.
Heard of the Panama Papers? That exposed offshore bank accounts. This is about onshore vibes.
they are not “listening to music”, they are just soundtracking their ambitious sociopathy
It’s just 80s to contemporary “coworker music”, lol. Of course, it’s expected, these people are vacuous in every possible way.
That’s such a pretentious way to put it, on par with describing popular movies as “popcorn films”
Eh, not the way that I see it. Santana, Jamiroquai, Barry White, Donna Summer, Tame Impala, Death Grips etc. are/were very popular and it’s hard to deny their artistic quality. Same with movies like Terminator, Rocky, Alien, Dr. Straneglove, The Godfather, Up…
vance being a belieber explains a lot
Couch, Couch, Couch, woo!
jd vance get your fuckin mitts off one direction you dont deserve them
I doubt the songwriter is happy with this either (a guy with Indian ancestry who wrote it for his (Swedish) wife).
In another world, JD Vance follows his dreams of competitive crocheting with limited success only but he doesn’t mind it cause he is married to a wonderful, caring man.

Overall, writing music is pretty darn good playlist.
It makes sense that you would have a lot of IDM style tracks for a playlist called “writing music”.
