Acts that are NOW on Spotify

AC/DC

There's a bunch more Popol Vuh now.

Neil Young is back!

Just got the email, thanks.

I for one am very happy that all three albums of my mysterious childhood favourites Disco-Tex And His Sex-O-Lettes have apparently just been added (the third album is listed under Sir Monti Rock III). Even the 45 of "Hot Lava" is there!

Tom Petty, Neil Young Publisher Sues Spotify for $1.6 Billion
By Jon Blistein

Wixen Music Publishing, which owns works by Tom Petty, Neil Young, Weezer, the Doors and more, has sued Spotify for using thousands of songs allegedly without license and compensation, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The publishing company is reportedly seeking damages worth at least $1.6 billion, plus injunctive relief.

With more than 60 million subscribers, the streaming service can make or break a song. Here's how the industry is adjusting

Wixen's lawsuit follows several lawsuits that have focused on Spotify's alleged failure to pay royalties on a song's musical composition. Recorded songs have two separate copyrights: The sound recording, which is typically owned by the record label, and the musical composition (also known as the "mechanical license"), which is owned by the songwriter and publisher.

Fripp/Eno, Fripp/Cross and Fripp/Sylvian albums added. Still no solo Fripp soundscapes/frippertronics, League of Gentlemen, Exposure, etc.

Freddie Mercury special editions of Mr. Bad Guy and Barcelona recently appeared

Rick Dees And His Cast Of Idiots!!!!!

I Advance Masked and Bewitched by Summers/Fripp now streaming.

Riley/Cale Church of Anthrax is up -- a new arrival I think, since only the title track has a play count.

some movement on the sst purgatory that some bands seem to caught in...

i posted elsewhere re:slovenly having some of their albums now appearing on streaming (tho none of the new alliance stuff).

another of of my cult sst favs angst has had a few of their things show up recently as well, including mending wall from 1986 (which is the one of theirs i could never find back in the day and is subsequently new to me and great). cry for happy still didn't make it, but lite life did, hooray! if you've never heard them, a lot of people say they sound like the meat puppets, but maybe more buffalo springfield than crazy horse with their neil influence.

Speaking of SST purgatory, Pell Mell's 3 SST lps showed up mysteriously on Spotify a few months ago.
