    <title>article Backstage Intro: Meet Carina in The Blog Vault</title>
    <link>https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Carina/ba-p/992868</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Hello &lt;A href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/850783" target="_self"&gt;Carina&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Community Rock Star)&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;, nice to meet you. Tell us a little about yourself.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hej hej! I'm Carina, 21 years old since Sunday&amp;nbsp;and I live near Frankfurt in Germany. I'm definitely interested in too many things, including music/festivals (of course!), playing bass and guitar, discovering new places around the world, astronomy, photo- and videography, computer science / tech-related stuff.. Really, I'm still struggling with finding &lt;EM&gt;the right&lt;/EM&gt; course of studies as I'm interested in so many different fields. But before I'm going to visit university, I plan to do a world trip - mostly hitchhiking and couchsurfing &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25487i7B9FC909963CF28B/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="original.jpg" title="original.jpg" width="359" height="235" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;So, what kind of music are you into?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My taste in music is as widely varied as my interests: I enjoy indie-pop and rock, alternative, folk and acoustic / singer-songwriter music, but also electronic, techno, minimal, tech-house, uk garage, chillwave, lo-fi, shoegaze and old-school / german rap. It depends on my mood, the set and setting and the people that are around me. What I don't like is mainstream and music that is played on local radio stations - but sometimes I find an exception!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;We've just launched&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.spotify-yearinmusic.com/" target="_self" rel="nofollow"&gt;Year in Music 2014&lt;/A&gt;!&amp;nbsp;What were your top artists for 2014?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My top 5 artists according to the "Year in Music" review are: &lt;A href="http://open.spotify.com/artist/4WOaecAM3RMMmrbZzNx0vu" target="_self" rel="nofollow"&gt;Tocotronic&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;/ &lt;A href="http://open.spotify.com/artist/3grEqW457YHOwO2LfkPwRX" target="_self" rel="nofollow"&gt;Ja, Panik &lt;/A&gt;/ &lt;A href="http://open.spotify.com/artist/2D9Oe8R9UhbMvFAsMJpXj0" target="_self" rel="nofollow"&gt;Kölsch&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;/ &lt;A href="http://open.spotify.com/artist/2Q0MyH5YMI5HPQjFjlq5g3" target="_self" rel="nofollow"&gt;Chet Faker &lt;/A&gt;aaand &lt;A href="http://open.spotify.com/artist/3X3UuLUdMaQjXAC3FM3ckd" target="_self" rel="nofollow"&gt;Kerstin Gier&lt;/A&gt;, who is a writer. I listened to one of her really long audiobooks (146 tracks).. Kinda sad she made it to my music list but yeah, I also listen to audiobooks sometimes. Let me say something about the other artists: Tocotronic and Ja, Panik are both german bands whose music is not as awesome as their lyrics. Yes, I have to say that.. I love the lyrics of their music but it took me a lot of time until I enjoyed the rest, too. I recommend&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://open.spotify.com/track/75Pfzx89yUONmgCqzFqIM0" target="_self" rel="nofollow"&gt;Chain Gang&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;by Ja, Panik - it's one of the few songs that I loved from the first listen. Well and Kölsch's Album&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://open.spotify.com/album/0lLXSqaZRwPz3ak9XUek37" target="_self" rel="nofollow"&gt;1977&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;was my electronic soundtrack of the summer! Saw him twice this year (could have been 3 times) and still can't stop listening to this LP. All "ravers" know his top hit&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://open.spotify.com/track/1L1dpImK36DoZPr7rxy0hJ" target="_self" rel="nofollow"&gt;Loreley&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;that was released last year and it's pure joy to celebrate with these euphoric positive people.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Which of your playlists are you most proud of? Why is the best playlist on the whole of Spotify?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Ohhh well my playlists are highly "under construction". I save new album and EP releases to a certain playlists and if I like them, I put them to another.. Same goes for nice new songs. I created lots of playlists for different moods but still have to organize and sort my songs from the "keep" playlists into them. Right now I only publish festival playlists but if you're interested in my favorite songs, check out this playlist:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://open.spotify.com/user/1125942055/playlist/3l1h7lRWWDJH4XuukdTP1n" target="_self" rel="nofollow"&gt;Lieblingslieder - Last.FM&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;("lieblingslieder" means "favorite tracks" - I imported these from lastfm and regularly add new tunes).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Thanks for taking the time to chat with us. Before we go, what joke always makes you laugh?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the interview and a shout-out to this super cool community with all its amazing userd!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have to answer this last question with the following gif set, because I don't know any jokes. &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":face_with_tongue:"&gt;😛&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Wow!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Finally I see your face Carina!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the photo you had before I couldn't see anything.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Great interview!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I like your "Spotify strategy" for building playlists &lt;a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/850783"&gt;@Carina&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; . It's always interesting to hear everyone's, everyone has a different system for organizing and building their playlists. I "Save" everything I am interested in and then drop them into playlists from there.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Haha &lt;a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/886302"&gt;@OviiiOne&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;, I always think the same when reading backstrage intros of other members / employees. &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/31"&gt;@meahtenoha&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;you are so right about this. I'm always interested and amazed in the music organisation of friends. Well my "whole concept" is a lot bigger and needs more space and time to explain but as mentioned in the interview: this is how I basically organize my library. After saving music and adding them to playlists, do you delete them later? Because I reached my 10k limit on the first day I started adding music to the library (old music I knew I like) &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":disappointed_face:"&gt;😞&lt;/span&gt; So "Your Music" is not an option for me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://www.lastfm.de/user/acidesoleil" target="_self"&gt;Last.FM&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;says I listened to almost 6.000 different artists until now haha..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thumbs up for no no to commercial music on radio etc.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm too WITHOUT commercial music, only undergrounds handsup and dancecore! With some jumpstyle and sometimes speedcore &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;Firstly: &lt;a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/850783"&gt;@Carina&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; this .gif set is amazing. I think I’ve seen it somewhere before in one of my late-night Tumblr scrolling sessions but its awesome every time.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;Second: Is this picture taken at Geysir in Iceland?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;Also: Where near Frankfurt? I'm guessing its not this city but I actually lived in Heidelberg for five years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Nice Intro Carina and cool photo, you look like you are in Outer Mongolia or something! I'm really enjoying Kolsch, I'd heard Loreley before but hadn't listened to any of his other stuff. I will definitely be featuring some of his tracks on&amp;nbsp;Electro Boutique, the monthly mixtape I'm&amp;nbsp;releasing on playlists.net this year. Thanks for the tip!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
