Spotify - anyone heard of it?

apparently my band's name from back in the mid 90s has been adopted by multiple bands since then, can I sue?

moodles u guys weren't the first band called nirvana, sorry mate

LIAR!

"If you like the Byrds, try Depeche Mode"

haha! this thread has made me lol on multiple occasions, thanks to all.

I'd love to see the recs you get!

where do i look for recommendations?

i think this is my favorite

"You listened to Electric Light Orchestra this week. Like to try Dion?"

it can be especially miserable to wade through classical composers' pages, plus sometimes there are mulitple pages with different spellings of the composer's name. Seems like it should be easy enough to just get some nerdy interns to clear all that up.

Also if you use Soundrop you get bands rooms recommended for you too.

1349 the only rec I'm not into.

Some of favorites:

You listened to Fats Domino, you might like this new release by the Moody Blues

Since you listened to Hank Williams, you might like this release by the Allmann Brothers Band

Since you listened to Primal Scream, you might like this new release by Devo

You listened to Otis Redding, you might like this release by America

You listened to DMX, you might like this song: Ice Cube "Get Off My Dick and Tell Yo Bitch to Come Here"

some of my favorites

where do i access these? i've looked all around! is this a paying subscriber bonus feature? nonstop lols?

Right at the top of the left-hand column there should be a "Discover" menu item?

My top rec: You listened to Thelma Houston and Odyssey. Here's a song you might like: "The Pop Group - We Are Time".

I don't see anything that says Discover, but I am not a paying member. It recently told me to listen to this choir called Belpor Chor singing Bésame Mucho. It's pretty good!

Or maybe you don't have the latest client? Dunno.

Since you listened to Primal Scream, you might like this new release by Devo

really pushing devo!

it also thinks i should be eating more mcnuggets

ok i updated

"Check out Blake Shelton. Trending near you."

and lolololol
"You listened to New Order. Check out Morrissey."

apparently the eagles are now on spotify

Yeah, all this Devo has to have something to do with the spiked number of plays they've gotten this week.

Eagles seem to come and go on this thing.

first time Ive seen it

the eagles skull is kinda metal

btw that lazify app you seen in my sidebar is pretty handy if you dont have time or cant be arsed making a playlist it will do one quickly for you based on any song you want. http://open.spotify.com/app/lazify

ok here is one based on dragging New Order onto it (you can do artists/songs/albums or even playlists and users apparently)
http://open.spotify.com/user/pfunkboy/playlist/11ICXb8ZG6y4d7cIOPaEK5

damn cant get users to work on it. Was trying to get a playlist based on DJP hehehe

doesnt work trying it with me either. But it does work with bands/songs/albums - not tried dragging a playlist onto it

Swear I've seen the Eagles on there before.

I've never been able to comprehend that skull, especially when it was a tiny piece of art on a cassette cover.

IM in UK so maybe the usa had them before?

Gosh, I haven't been this proud to be an American since I got Beatles VI on vinyl.

do you get that *advert like I did? If you dont then I'm guessing you already had them.

*I'm premium so its not really an advert as such

I haven't seen that ad. I know I listened to The Long Run a few months ago, though it might have been on Grooveshark.

Apparently I have no reason to listen to Devo.

"Buzzcocks? Pere Ubu? Ah, this guy doesn't need to be reminded about who Devo is. Let's save it for the Eagles fan."

hey guys come in here http://open.soundrop.fm/s/W16fTbbsgjzuGhsN

that there are so many cases of multiple bands with the same name sharing a page

Also single bands split up, ie Afghan Whigs and The Afghan Whigs get half the albums each, same for Godspeed You Black Emperor with and without capitalisation

You haven't listened to Parachute by Future in a while. Play now?

You listened to Yusef Lateef. You might like DJ-Kicks Motor City Drum ENsemble

I'm on premium in US and spotify sent a special email to let me know the eagles were available. They also recommended devo based on my sly and the family stone listening.

But talking about your spotify recs is like talking about your grand kids at this point

eagles have not been on spotify prior cuz i have bizarrely been wishing they were on spotify for awhile (precisely the kind of act i'd like to check out but god no not dl onto my harddrive). man a few months ago i just assumed that the heavy hitter catalog acts - pink floyd, eagles, ac/dc, led zeppelin, beatles - would never end up on there. feels like metallica opened the floodgates.

presumably the belated AOR gods all getting some big upfront checks for this, right? i mean, the royalties are shit and all it could do is cut into their Wal-Mart best-of sales.

I mean, while I'm all for getting to leisurely skim through discographies I'd otherwise never experience, I don't see what's in it for them unless someone's giving them a healthy advance

How much are the little guys making off of this?

I guess if you've already bought the album it should be an incremental additional paycheck for them, which is nice for those you want to support

Fuck you Spotify, with all your suggestions. You make me want to cancel my subscription, if not stop listening to music altogether.

This sums up pain-in-the-ass-know-it-all perfectly!
