@Nepia sucked in. Spotify is fucking good to me. My "Your Daily Mix" has 6 genres i listen to most (90s alternative; punk/ska; britpop and modern alternative i guess?; NZ/Aus bands; classic rock; and metal) and all are great.
I barely have to search for anything any more, i just use the playlists Spotify creates.
My spotify hates me.
Maybe because I'm all over the show but I listen to the odd 'British' alternative/britpop band it gets confused. I actually listen to a lot of one off 80s tracks that I occasionally think of and search for to see if it was as good as I remember.
I added two songs from someones How I Met Your Mother playlist two years ago and still get a bunch of songs related to the show now.

Yeah not that much, maybe two or three times a week. I listen to Podcasts most of the time.

@Nepia as an indication of how cool my spotify is, it has just popped up with Les Claypool playing "My Name is Mud" but in spanish. WTF?

I had to google that whole post - maybe an indication of how uncool I am musically and why my spotify hates me.

Hell yeah, even the obscure stuff!

Cancelled Spotify today.
Lots of the music I like isn't on there in any form. There's very few good remixes or edits of classic or "balearic" tunes (Youtube has a lot of them, so does Soundcloud). Few good mixes (loads on Soundcloud), and their suggestions are poor (Youtube is really good as suggesting similar music).
Also, little of my sub would go to the musicians l like anyway (payments are not based on each user's listens, but rather on the total listens from all users).

Did you completely close your account or just cancel your paid subscription?

@jegga Apparently the labels have also been taking a big share of the streaming royalties that are supposed to go to performers, and justifying it by streaming vs. physical sales. Bands have had to sue all parties to get their money. I think Toto got over a million back.

Doesn't surprise me , record companies are notoriously amoral . What are you using instead of spotify?

Billy Corgan on his Rogan chat was saying something about this. I think his point was the record companies went and bought the streaming services so they could continue to fuck the artists.
-
When Corgan was on Rogan he referenced this letter that Courtney Love is supposed to have written
Courtney Love does the math - Salon.com
The controversial singer takes on record label profits, Napster and "sucka VCs."

That is the thing I hate about spotify - that the artists are not getting paid what they should be for it. However, I realistically mainly listen to music that I originally bought the CD for anyway ...
Some geeza with more time than me has created The Trip playlists based on the classic NZ compilation albums ... Thats pretty much so my rotation of late.
Killing in the name of came on over family dinner last night .. had to discreetly get up and change the track early doors (phones are banned from the dinner table in the rage house).

My old band is on Spotify. Second single with yours truly on Bass. Given that I don't think I'm quite going to get the same sort of listening numbers as Peter Frampton I might have to put my plans of retiring and living off royalties on hold.
Whats the band? Will defo have a listen.
