back to article Did Spotify hire Alan Partridge to run its Netflix-style video push?

Spotify’s strange lurch into creating TV shows grows even stranger. Amongst the highlights of original content is a lurid series on how music stars died. “From the PCP-fueled cannibalism of rapper Big Lurch to the murder-for-hire plot hatched by the singer of metal band As I Lay Dying, we’ll get the full story of how some of …

    Following the unexpected success of ‘Celebrity Popstar to Kitchen Fitter’; Tony Hadley Entertainment is proud to present their new reality TV show:

    ‘I used to be a Celebrity now get me a real job’

    Our hand-picked celebrities will each learn a new trade over the course of the next 13 weeks and each Friday night the celebs will pair up in order to demonstrate their new found skills. Viewers will then be able to vote on who stays and who goes.

    We’ve even managed to find a pair of Geordie presenters who can almost speak English and have not been seen on TV before. I think it’s fair to say that Pants and Dick are almost as thrilled as their Mams.

    In this week’s show:

    ‘Little’ Jimmy gets his first new hairstyle in over 30 years courtesy of Jodie who has been studying with well-known hair-stylist Nicki Clarke.

    Nicki has been cutting the hair of the good people of Wakefield for over 15 years from her salon above the Golden Dynasty take-away in Throgmorton St.

    Darius gets a crack wax from student beautician Mylene; if I know Darius he’ll really be looking forward to it.

    He’s positively bristling with anticipation.

    In our International Bakery challenge Preston gets to sample Paris’s baps.

    It’s probably his turn.

    This will be a truly life-changing opportunity for one of our Celebs, as, in a first for British Television, the winner will be awarded a prestigious NVQ certificate!

    “Copyright did not come down from the mountain as the eleventh item on the tablet. Intellectual property is an incredible conceit, since society and business find it very useful in some ways. It is a way for people to get paid for theirs and others creations. Intellectual property is not something like a chair. If I’m sitting on that chair you can’t sit on that chair. And if these chairs are taken away and sold, we have to buy some more chairs. They are unique, physical objects. And in some sense that’s what the traditional record business was. If I had the record, you didn’t have the record. If a shop had five records and sold them, it didn’t have them anymore. In the digital world that’s not the case. If I have a file and copy it and send it to all of you, I’ve still got mine. If you send the file to another twenty people, we have 400 files flying around.” - Peter Jenner
