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

Looks like the whole(?) Numero catalogue is up now!

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.

"missing big chunks of Momus" is a display name waiting to happen

all the felt albums used to be on there...
i really don't see the problem with labels refusing to stream their entire catalog for free...

i think pretty much everything by Radiohead will be up there as of tomorrow when the new one goes up. In Rainbows went up this week which had never been up there before iirc.

Just realized that Beatles Anthology is on now. Don't think that was part of their big Beatles roll out.

aluminum tunes by stereolab, not on iTunes either

That might be because it was released on Drag City
― badg, Friday, 10 March 2017 20:05 (seven years ago) link
hmm maybe, but that's just the US version and would've been licensed from Duophonic/Warp presumably? So that doesn't really explain it, because Refried Ectoplasm & Dots & Loops were released by Drag City as well.

Went looking for stuff on the DIW label (Japanese jazz imprint with a fuckton of amazing stuff in their catalog) and for some reason only David Murray's albums for them are on US Spotify. None of their Art Ensemble of Chicago records or anything else.
