I noticed last night that The Kinks' 60s catalog is now on there.

Yeah that was a nice surprise
― da croupier, Sunday, 26 April 2015 14:48 (nine years ago) link
Though actually the nice surprise for me wasn't the 60s stuff - most of which I own - but the ability to explore all the post-Lola stuff without spending money
― da croupier, Sunday, 26 April 2015 14:49 (nine years ago) link
yeah, it just took a lot longer for the earlier stuff to show up
― Free Me's Electric Trumpet (Moodles), Sunday, 26 April 2015 15:00 (nine years ago) link
was everything post-lola there until now? i thought there was just a handful of kinks before now - that the 60s classics showed up with more of the 70s & 80s as well. but anyway, yeah, glad the kinks are more explorable in general.
― da croupier, Sunday, 26 April 2015 15:33 (nine years ago) link
There was a point previously when a lot of the old Kinks releases were on there, then much of it was taken off. Glad they're back.

Owen Ashworth's catalog (Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Advance Base) has been missing from Spotify for about a year, but this morning I saw he wrote a feature for Tidal promoting his record, so I guess it's on there. Must be an anti-Spotify thing a la Taylor Swift?
Wish Drag City would break and go streaming, at some point the revenue curve has gotta bend as more and more people go streaming only and artists on the label go increasingly off the radar and out of the cultural conversation. I would even pay $5/month for an all-DC streaming service, which is $60 more a year they're getting from me now just bc I don't want to hassle with files.
Missing the Felt catalogue, Comsat Angels, and big chunks of Momus, hope to see 'em show up someday.

"missing big chunks of Momus" is a display name waiting to happen

― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Wednesday, 14 October 2015 07:59 (eight years ago) link
all the felt albums used to be on there...
i really don't see the problem with labels refusing to stream their entire catalog for free...
― brimstead, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 22:41 (eight years ago) link
or virtually free or whatever
he's been pretty public about his hatred of Spotify et al, tweeted about it etc.

yeah my longheld 'it's a shame george harrison isn't on spotify, he's totally someone whose catalog i'd like to check out' stance kinda wilted when i came face to face w/ what george harrison's solo catalog actually consists of

"Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car"—the only song off Zooropa that was for some reason not available on Spotify—is finally available.
― Naive Teen Idol, Saturday, 20 February 2016 15:51 (eight years ago) link
i think pretty much everything by Radiohead will be up there as of tomorrow when the new one goes up. In Rainbows went up this week which had never been up there before iirc.

Just realized that Beatles Anthology is on now. Don't think that was part of their big Beatles roll out.

Pretty much every Les Savy Fav album is up including some weird live albums but not the "Rome (Written Upside Down)" EP.

these are the holdouts from the list at the top of the thread. what's it going to take to get some Slade on there?

Most of the Peter Gabriel albums are on in the US now, I just noticed.

Still no YMO, but there's pretty much everything by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Wonder what the issue is.

aluminum tunes by stereolab, not on iTunes either
― flappy bird, Friday, 10 March 2017 19:53 (seven years ago) link
That might be because it was released on Drag City
― badg, Friday, 10 March 2017 20:05 (seven years ago) link
hmm maybe, but that's just the US version and would've been licensed from Duophonic/Warp presumably? So that doesn't really explain it, because Refried Ectoplasm & Dots & Loops were released by Drag City as well.

Went looking for stuff on the DIW label (Japanese jazz imprint with a fuckton of amazing stuff in their catalog) and for some reason only David Murray's albums for them are on US Spotify. None of their Art Ensemble of Chicago records or anything else.

Still no Slade, hopefully reissue of 'Slade Alive' may get them on board.

― nashwan, Tuesday, 26 September 2017 14:02 (six years ago) link
I doubt there will be. De La can't legally reissue those records due to all the samples.
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 26 September 2017 14:09 (six years ago) link
wonder if thats why they released them all for free via their website a few years back.
― mark e, Tuesday, 26 September 2017 14:14 (six years ago) link
i wonder when the last of the uncleared samples on 3 Feet High & Rising will fall out of copyright. what was the most recent bit of music sampled on that anyway?

Owen Pallett's later albums, but not his Final Fantasy stuff. Troutmask Replica is not on there, but lots of other Captain Beefheart is

It was, and why they used the publicity from that to crowdfund a new record with no pre-existing samples.

De La can't legally reissue those records due to all the samples.
Started to think the samples issue was a red herring given the availability of countless other sample-heavy hip hop albums from the same era.
