Sorry don't abide by Spotify, try soundcloud.com my joint. Everybody has their place these days.
Read Liz Pelly's "Mood Machine" book released this January if you think there's good people on both sides it'll set you straight. Somethings are just rotten to the core. Spotify will be gone one day into the trash bin of history. I get the idea behind streaming but with limitations. Like a Jukebox. But not for artists, it sucks. For users it has its use. My angle isn't a political one just that ownership of a curated collection always rewards me especially on Friday nights but I'm not static and buy music all the time. $10 for an album digital or otherwise is not a lot of money to give to an artist or to a label on their behalf. This isn't the first time money tried to keep the people down and it won't be the last, but as Bobby D. sang, "Money doesn't talk it swears." And there's been a lot of swearing going around lately.
I agree in principle. I’ve tried different embedding options, and frankly, Spotify has the best UX when it comes to displaying a playlist in an article of the services I’ve tried so far. My support doesn’t go any deeper than that. But, at the same time, I’m also a believer in the globalization and discovery doors digital streaming platforms can open up to the average consumer. Artists need to get paid fairly for it, that should go without saying. But this debate goes all the way back to the Napster days and the dawn of P2P sharing. The record labels had a chance to do the right thing for the industry back then and sat on their laurels. Meanwhile, Apple set the standard for a digital music ecosystem instead of those who could’ve done a more equitable, decentralized job of it. My 2c, fwiw.
Agreed wholeheartedly! My gripes go a little further back to the CD replacing vinyl LPs/7". Cassettes lived side by side so adding another option was fine especially a modern one, but they made a killing ($1 to make, selling for $20?) It made no sense other than to get rid of us pesky indies who labored over pristine products that made our artists valid and officially in the game! Anyone could make a CD and labels like mine lined up for a major label to swallow thus losing cred that took 20 years to get back. I went to law school and made a new life.
I love all these songs! Great choices for a fun time!
Thanks Dan!
