The new release of Spotify is looking seriously good – can’t wait for mine to update. I have to agree with a lot of the comments on the article though – some features for sorting playlists would have been welcome, and a higher priority for most users.

Propellor Time, the new album from Robyn Hitchcock is now available on Spotify. Only just started listening to it myself so can’t give a verdict yet – just glad to see it up there.

Black Rock

The excellent new album from Joe Bonamassa is now available on Spotify, which has kept my ears busy this evening. It is hardly innovative, but I don’t think that is what anyone was looking for: just decent blues from somebody with a rare appreciation and respect for not only the US blues tradition but also […]

The wonders of Spotify
March 19th, 2010 · Comments Off on The wonders of Spotify · Music, Technology
Three pretty laid-back things I found on Spotify today. Exhibit one: Dil Da Rog Muka Ja Mahi by Gaudi and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Surely the most unlikely Kraftwerk cover this side of Senor Coconut. Exhibit two: Panic Grass & Fever Few by Ian King Is that really dub-tinged folk? I think it must be. […]

Just in case anybody didn’t know, the new album from Gorillaz, Plastic Beach, is on Spotify now. I have only been half-listening to it while catching up on some reading, but it sounds pretty good to me. Who else could get Lou Reed, Snoop Dogg, Mick Jones & Paul Simonon, Mark E. Smith and De […]

It’s folk Jim, but not as we know it

Last year I discovered Tanzwut, and wrote about them a few times. Not only did I enjoy the music, but I found the whole concept interesting and amusing – medieval folk metal with massed bagpipes: what’s not to like? Anyone who was tempted to investigate and liked what they heard might also be interested in […]

Reggaeton

I found the entire short series of Latin Music USA on BBC Four to be greatly entertaining, but it also opened my ears to a few new sounds. Last week I went straight onto Spotify after watching the programme to look for Fania All Stars, Willie Colon, Eddie Palmieri and similar: this week it was […]
The Decemberists

I had heard of the Decemberists, of course I had. I had even heard some of their stuff and seen them on TV, but I don’t think I ever really listened to them properly until tonight. I am now starting to think I have been missing out a bit.

Back to trivia even sooner than I expected… while ferretting around in the odd corners of Spotify tonight I learned something interesting. OK, maybe not interesting in the general definition, but I was interested.
Spongebob Squarepants

I have heard of Spongebob Squarepants but I don’t think I have ever seen it. Well, maybe a little bit while some young relative was watching it perhaps, but nothing I can remember. I have certainly not seen the film, but tonight I chanced upon the soundtrack album on Spotify. Brilliant stuff. Great tracks from […]
