Squirrel-Monkey — a “hobby project” from actress [Kinna McInroe](https://twitter.com/kinnamcinroe?ref=hypebot.com) (Office Space) and [Jo Luijten](https://twitter.com/Freedutch?ref=hypebot.com) (they’re a couple) — specializes in creating faux-vintage digital versions of today’s technologies as if they had existed in the past. Examples include [Windows 8 as DOS](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdJrvPgdT%5FI&ref=hypebot.com), [Skype in the ’80s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG4QMJ0-qRk&ref=hypebot.com), and [Pinterest in the ’90s](http://squirrel-monkey.com/?q=content/if-pinterest-had-been-invented-90s&ref=hypebot.com). Below, they tackle another question: **What if Spotify had existed in the ’80s?**
