When credible rivals to Spotify start appearing we're going to see labels taking their stuff off en-masse as they start signing exclusive deals.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 11 December 2013 17:24 (ten years ago) link
Do you really think so? Labels didn't ever exclusivey sell their physical products with just one chain, did they? I mean outside of a limited edition or something. Maybe some material will be exclusively with a streaming service for a period of time but not in perpetuity. The labels make more money spreading it all around.

the copy I got has 'em separated. Which is good since I like five songs and that'd be a pain

Yeah I found a cue sheet online on some prince board and split mine into tracks with it. Only time I've ever done anything like that.

Hmmm ... I'm in Australia, and I can only find one Necks track (on a comp) on Spotify. :-(
― Wordy, Wednesday, 5 March 2014 03:22 (ten years ago) link
The Coil selection is meagre (relative to their output!), but I guess there are legal complexities there.
Also, no Comsat Angels.

Weirdly, there's stuff on Spotify mobile I can get with no trouble, but it ain't there when I'm on the PC

I noticed last night that The Kinks' 60s catalog is now on there.
― Free Me's Electric Trumpet (Moodles), Sunday, 26 April 2015 14:48 (nine years ago) link
Yeah that was a nice surprise
― da croupier, Sunday, 26 April 2015 14:48 (nine years ago) link
Though actually the nice surprise for me wasn't the 60s stuff - most of which I own - but the ability to explore all the post-Lola stuff without spending money
― da croupier, Sunday, 26 April 2015 14:49 (nine years ago) link
yeah, it just took a lot longer for the earlier stuff to show up
― Free Me's Electric Trumpet (Moodles), Sunday, 26 April 2015 15:00 (nine years ago) link
was everything post-lola there until now? i thought there was just a handful of kinks before now - that the 60s classics showed up with more of the 70s & 80s as well. but anyway, yeah, glad the kinks are more explorable in general.
― da croupier, Sunday, 26 April 2015 15:33 (nine years ago) link
There was a point previously when a lot of the old Kinks releases were on there, then much of it was taken off. Glad they're back.

Owen Ashworth's catalog (Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Advance Base) has been missing from Spotify for about a year, but this morning I saw he wrote a feature for Tidal promoting his record, so I guess it's on there. Must be an anti-Spotify thing a la Taylor Swift?
Wish Drag City would break and go streaming, at some point the revenue curve has gotta bend as more and more people go streaming only and artists on the label go increasingly off the radar and out of the cultural conversation. I would even pay $5/month for an all-DC streaming service, which is $60 more a year they're getting from me now just bc I don't want to hassle with files.
Missing the Felt catalogue, Comsat Angels, and big chunks of Momus, hope to see 'em show up someday.
