A muso friend of mine linked this article and it does make me want to drop spotify, but jesus, it is hard, because it is so utterly convenient. I can find almost anything I want to listen to. To be clear, I pick bands, not playlists. And metal is a lot harder to manufacture than other types of music, I imagine.
Maybe if the music industry unionised they could rally against Spotify...
Eh that's why I listen to angry or funny punk punk bands, check out Atlanta's Gas Station Boner Pills who's Christmas single Boners for Jesus cover art was designed by yours truly , or there's Total Massacre's Slapdick Grifter about the tech bro grifter class, locally, go for the Owen Guns and Stop Making Deadshits Famous. But i think the authors problem begins and ends with jazz.
i had my 50th the other weekend and had an idea to play only music from the year i was born. Started vetting albums back in May. Got a list of the top selling albums then a list of ALL the albums, discounted live and compilation/best of and then started listening, recording results on a spreadsheet. Whittled it down to about 29hrs of music. But how to play? I signed up to spotify for the first time with the proviso that i burn the icon off my phone before the first 3mths are up. I even tried to listen to Joe Rogan to see what all the fuss was about from each side of the culture war. My opinion was that it was rambling rubbish and i cant believe that he got a massive payout from spotify for his content.
I have a friend that has music up there (his "band" is The Dressing Gowns) and I think he said something like it'd take him 128 years to make 5 cents based on the fact he gets about 5 people a week listen to him.
Most of the time I forget I have Spotify and just jump on YouTube when I HAVE to listen to one song right now!!! (Hello to Bob Dylan's Country Pie)
Actually, thinking of Bob Dylan, they didn't even have the album I was looking for on there the last time I jumped on and spent 10 minutes trying to find it.
I never consciously chose to boycott Spotify, I just never started using it, and now I am vehemently resolved never to do so š¤
Me too

These people all suck. Same numbnuts that think an actual Terminator is cool.

That truly sucks
I'm sure Jane knows someone who might want to chase Spotify for your and others royalties

That doesn't seem just.
No, no it does not.
