is this the first time spotify has had the sleater-kinney albums?

Some stuff I flagged:

So it seems like a pretty decent week to me!
(I'm not sure about the whole S-K history, but I think we had some or all of them already, so this may just be a licensing/metadata update or something.)

I was kinda hoping this would be a thread of recommendations. Glenn, should I be listening to Haerts? Defend YOSELF

I'll say, at least, that the Game Theory reissue (Blaze of Glory), which is the beginning of a full GT reissue campaign by Omnivore, is a tiny wonder from the world of nerdy just-post-punk Californian power-pop, and if you like that sort of thing and don't already know Game Theory, your Spotify subscription is about to pay for itself.
The only other two I've had time to absorb are Solstafir (Icelandic black/progressive metal band sounding increasingly self-assured and ambitious) and Malrun (Danish melodic rock/metal band stomping around in enthusiastic and borderline glam-rocky fashion).
Oh, and the great pop-rock single "Running to You" by a Latvian teenager named Katrine Lukins.
Oh, and I'm now liking the slightly shoegazey indie-rock crunch of Basement on this 3-song EP Further Sky.

And if you don't know Rothko, and think the sound of ambient/post-rock humming with multiple bass players sounds intriguing, their compilation "A Life Lived Elsewhere" is just up, and a pretty decent intro to the band.
― glenn mcdonald, Wednesday, 3 September 2014 19:21 (nine years ago) link
will check these out, thanks!

blake mills - heigh ho
― Heez, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 14:36 (nine years ago) link
Is there a function on Spotify that lets you see what was recently added? I get little notifications once in a while but they're kind of paltry.
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 14:45 (nine years ago) link

Glenn, how does the hat handle albums/singles NOT released on Tuesday? I was looking to this as a weekly pickup compendium but I'm gathering lots goes in at other times. Never saw the Jeezy album show up in the hat as a for instance?
You're doing the lord's work here.
― the other song about butts in the top 5 (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 16:54 (nine years ago) link
Each Tuesday's Hat includes things released on Spotify from the previous Wednesday through that Tuesday. The Jeezy record was in the 9/2 Hat.
― glenn mcdonald, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 22:12 (nine years ago) link
ah, good to hear; i must've just overlooked it. also saves me from getting obsessive about FOMO.Btw, show your overlords this thread -> get the hat added to the spotify frontpage -> get a big raise -> start a cult in bermuda -> ilx works

Those first four albums should keep me busy all month at least
― the other song about butts in the top 5 (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:08 (nine years ago) link
it doesn't seem like the syro album is working yet
― Mordy, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:15 (nine years ago) link
It is working for me at this very moment.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:16 (nine years ago) link
Anyway, I came here to ask: Is there a way to filter the sorting hat so that it shows only albums?
mine says This track is currently not available in the US. If you have the file on your computer...
i'll restart my client and try again i guess
― Mordy, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:18 (nine years ago) link
cool - that did it
― Mordy, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:19 (nine years ago) link
Jaymc, I'll try to add an albums-only filter next week or the week after.
― glenn mcdonald, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 20:00 (nine years ago) link
I don't know why I had any high expectations for this Mapei album, but...pew.

can i ask if someone here works for spotify—why can we not access "my music" on the ipad app yet? is that coming soon?
― socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 13:35 (nine years ago) link
Cool, thanks, Glenn!
― jaymc, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 13:57 (nine years ago) link
Yes, I work for Spotify, and yes, iPad updates are on the way! I don't know a specific date (and I'm not personally involved), but it shouldn't be too much longer.
