New and Noteworthy Additions to US Spotify

Looks like The Traveling Wilburys just showed up to the Spotify party!!

Anybody know how that happened? Did Orbison's estate finally relent or what?

Here's a great playlist of songs that are disproportionally popular with groups of young females who use Spotify. I'm kind of bummed that Tidal doesn't have stuff like this.

I assume that playlist is for Glenn's own personal use and not for Spotify research purposes.

New Particles, 2016-06-10 has new songs, many of them scary and many of them glorious and some of them both, by: Roxette, CHVRCHES, BRONCHO, School '94, Kylie Minogue, Jute Gyte, Virus, Sabaton, Broods, Shiffley, The Temper Trap, Augustines, Psideralica, Oyinda, HEALTH, The A.M. Experiment, Vatican Shadow, Ersatz, Trampstamp, Brödet, 滅火器, Tobacco, Sumac, Paolo Vallesi, Deadlock, Pariisin Kevät, Bassnectar, Noisia, SHXCXCHCXSH, Derek Piotr, Aerial, The Gotobeds, Revocation, Hammers of Misfortune, Despised Icon, San Holo, Ngaiire, DJ Shadow, Storm The Sky, Sylar, Aly & Fila, Andy Moor, Dorian, Maga, Elviira & Rake, Apnea, Mechanist, Xavier Boscher, Tobuscus and NateWantsToBattle.

As I recall, glenn hates Roxette, so glad to see that Particles doesn't reflect personal taste. Moderately interesting article in Salon about algorithms, which probably doesn't hold up to scrutiny (it strikes me as kind of half-assed and quickly written): http://www.salon.com/2016/06/10/spotify_is_making_you_boring_when_algorithms_shape_music_taste_human_curiosity_loses/.

Glenn, is there any way of accessing past weeks' Every Noise updates or are they gone forever when Friday arrives?

You mean the Sorting Hat? No, there's no accessible archive of those.

People who went on vacation without bringing their computers need the past. Unfortunately.

Your story has touched my heart. Check the bottom of the page.

New Particles strikes again: Sonderlust by Kishi Bashi - all over the freakin' pop shop in all the right ways, and a great story arc to boot

Noura Mint Seymali - Arbina

Is there anywhere that lists all new additions to Spotify as they go up? The New Releases and Release Radar are far from comprehensive.

Thanks glenn! I'll have to settle for once-a-week updates it would seem.

IDK if this is "new" or not but there are a bunch of good Soul Jazz Records comps up now--nowhere close to the full catalogue but enough good stuff that I want to just hole up with my headphones and do nothing for a while.

Particularly enjoying Dancehall and Venezuela 70. Note that not all of them come up under the "artist" name "Soul Jazz Records Presents," you just have to do a search for "soul jazz" and then "see all albums."

Also try this in the search bar:

label:"soul jazz"

Much more than the last time I ran that!

I noticed the History Of Our World: Breakbeat & Jungle mix by DJ DB appeared recently (or has it been on for ages?). Shame it's not some kind of deluxe edition with all tracks also available unmixed but hey.
