A band I know have been advised more or less (lots of paraphrasing here) to forget everything else and concentrate on spotify. The biz now looks to spotify to gague popularity. This seems so wrong to me and so presumptuous. Pushing artists to endorse a system that gives so little back.
How many likes on your page and how many plays on spotify = quality now.

flashback to a festival rejection where i was told I needed a wider facebook audience to be considered

this is problematic and I'm triggered.

Its all about following the pack. No more time for trail blazers.


I do use spotify,and have no problems with it other than poor cataloguing.

Likewise. I fucking love spotify

I'm gonna try that 'sounds like Amelie soundtrack' thing myself soon - upload a quiet piano track and pitch it to the Calm Piano playlist. Will let yiz know if I get rich off it

You got a rejection? I just get silence

I *think* rejection is better than nothing at all, but I'm not sure. Wrote a blog post about it Rejection – stoat

Also,with spotify,I never use the playlists,and id like all the info that would be on a record sleeve,and for older releases,the original release date,not the reissue date.
So I suppose I do have a few niggly gripes,

I've found out about too many gigs there that I've seen no local mention of.

the daily playlists are great for throwing up a long lost classic or two, although they do tend to be a bit repetetive...

by repetetive, i mean the same songs keep coming up. Someone at Spotify REALLY wants me to listen to Cattle Decapitation - this has been on daily mix #1 every day for the last week or so
