Acts that are NOW on Spotify

Boney M! All eight of the original LPs.

YES!

hahaha my coworkers are gonna hate me this afternoon

ra ra

is there a site like instantwatcher for spotify that just lists new additions? i guess that would be a lot of info

More of the McCartney catalog is up now: Kisses on the Bottom, Ocean's Kingdom, Band on the Run remaster, McCartney remaster, McCartney II remaster (including second disc), Unplugged, and a couple of live albums.

Diana Ross' 80's stuff, like "Swept Away", and "Pieces of Ice", are now on Spotify. They weren't the last time I looked:

Placebo have recently jumped on board too. Molko was slagging it off all over the place only last year so not sure what's gone on there.

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
4 hours ago
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.

eddy grant!

idk if anyone else needed this, but i was absolutely ecstatic to find the tony toni toné remix album from 1991 has been added! let's groove with the tonys. it's all revival era stuff, peak new jack swing.

oh shit, Spacemen 3's "The Perfect Prescription" is on spotify. my work colleagues are going to hate me when i takeover the gym soundsystem tomorrow.

idk if anyone else needed this, but i was absolutely ecstatic to find the tony toni toné remix album from 1991 has been added! let's groove with the tonys🕸. it's all _revival_ era stuff, peak new jack swing.

A fairly niche example but a bunch of Natural Snow Buildings albums have appeared under NSB Archive.

Finally seeing the Ambitious Lovers albums on Tidal, so I assume they're on all the music streamers.

I think they've been up on Spotify for some time now. None of those great '90s-'00s Arto albums, though.

the king sunny ade catalogue has been reactivated. idk the early stuff well enough, but it looks like pretty much everything from late 70s forward is there. og masterings, so turn it up!

Adam F's re-recorded first album 'Colours' just went up this week

randomly been searching for the mormon dreampop group coastal and pleased to see that they've put a good chunk of their catalogue onto the old internet jukebox. really stoked to revisit this live set from london in 2001. all the typical dreampop touchstones are there and it's 100% riyl low, slowdive, and the like. really pleasant people, too. i bought my copy of the first album from jason directly and he complimented my flannel. oh, sigh.

Yesterday the Liberation Hall label added both Non-Fiction and American Music (the Rollin' Rock LP) by the Blasters. Last year they put up the full Over There (Live In London), leaving their self-titled album and Hard Line as the last titles from the group's '80s heyday on Slash to not be available on the site.
