Acts that are not on Spotify

What about the Chairmen of the Board comp in the early 2000's?

Yeah, [urlhttp://www.amazon.com/Best-Chairmen-Board-Ten/dp/B0000641A8/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1342895778&sr=1-3&keywords=chairmen+of+the+board]this one? Maybe they licensed it out for that EMI "Ten Best Series."

Yeah, this one? Maybe they licensed it out for that EMI "Ten Best Series."

OK. That comp is not on Spotify either, although "Give Me Just A Little More Time" is because it was on some soundtrack.

(Of course nobody said that comp was on Spotify)

Yeah, it's not on iTunes either.

Cannot find me no muslamic ray guns on Spotify.

Placebo!

Not that ILM cares, but the Eagles.

Some days you're just in the mood for "These Shoes", I get it.

"Those Shoes". Whatever.

Album that is not on Spotify: Heat Treatment, by Graham Parker. Listening to Stick To Me instead

Art Bears (anything from Chris Cutler's label, really)

Metallica now on Spotify, Lars Ulrich making the announcement with a Napster co-founder at his side

The principle behind that being...?

Annoyingly, only 1 Died Pretty album is on there.

McCartney and Wings = BACK! it happened at the start of December supposedly, only just noticed.

manilla road was there for while, and now... nada.

What's become of Geir? Hasn't posted for months unless I'm mistaken.

I went and created a music forum on Facebook (in Norwegian) including many of the features I like about this place.
Just don't find the time to post here as often, but I haven't abandoned ILX completely.

Read now that Led Zeppelin will be on Spotify shortly as well. Elton John has largely disappeared, but probably just albums disappearing because of some reissue program, I guess.

Regarding Paul McCartney/Wings, it seems the middle part of his solo career is still absent. Everything from "At The Speed Of Sound" through "Tug Of War" missing. I believe they have yet to be reissued on CD as well though, so I guess just a matter of time.

Besides those, "Red Rose Speedway" is absent as well.

g'day Geir.

The Oasis thing seems strange to me, as obviously their albums are only absent in the US.

On the other hand, Material Issue are unavailable in Europe.

no OM apparently unless i ain't looking hard enough. that kinda sucks.

nope I think I've looked for them too and no dice. "Ea" exists but its very hard to find them as you might imagine.

Southern Lord and Profound Lore Records dont appear to be on Spotify outside of the USA.
OM's latest is on Drag City who are not on Spotify at all.

Richard Thompson

Pretty much everything he's done up to 'Electric' is available in the UK, must be one of those territitorial things. On a less crucial note, no Hootie and the Blowfish.

I'm seeing lots of Richard Thompson stuff and I'm in the US.

weird, now he is suddenly on it, i swear there wasn't even his name on spotify this morning. or maybe i misspelled his name...

Hall & Oates. Weirdly there are over a dozen cheap fake compilations of the stuff they were doing separately in the late 60s, but none of the real deal.

That's odd - I can see loads of thir stuff, including 70s albums. Try searching for "Daryl Hall & John Oates" instead of "Hall & Oates".... weirdly, this made a difference on the iPad app.

Ok looks to me like Dary Hall & John Oates has all those fakey compilations, a couple of their 70s albums, and one best of with the 80s singles - but if you look under just Daryl Hall, all their 80s stuff is there. Stupid Spotify.

Search under just "Daryl Hall" and a lot of their 80s stuff comes up

Poor Oates.

Oddly enough this is not the case in MOG, where everything is properly under Hall & Oates.

Before i deleted my account, they didn't have any Ben & Bruno

xp PROPERLY would put it under Daryl Hall & John Oates. Hall & Oates is informal shorthand.

Hey, Spotify. If I happen to make a playlist which contains artists you don't feature, you're not going to hurt my feelings if you just leave that slot blank.

In fact, I would prefer it. I don't know who this is singing "I'm Losing You" from a John Lennon tribute album, but perhaps there is a reason why I didn't have that version in my playlist.

"What Is Life" and possibly 1 or 2 other George songs were recently removed.

Those same 3 or 4 Lennon songs are still streaming however.

The first one I'm playing is Momentary Lapse because fuiud it's got some of Gilmour's most awesome solos.

pplains, are you saying the original track was later replaced by a cover version or something?

Here are a dozen albums from 2013 that I'd like to hear but haven't gotten around to, since I listen to pretty much everything via Spotify these days and they're not on there:

Bitchin' Bajas, Bitchitronics (Drag City)
Blondes, Swisher (RVNG)
Boards of Canada, Tomorrow's Harvest (Warp)
Bill Callahan, Dream River (Drag City)
Cassie, RockaByeBaby (Bad Boy)
Chance the Rapper, Acid Rap (mixtape)
El-P/Killer Mike, Run the Jewels (Fool's Gold)
The Field, Cupid's Head (Kompakt)
David Grubbs, The Plain Where the Palace Stood (Drag City)
Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog, Your Turn (Northern Spy)
Thundercat, Apocalypse (Brainfeeder)

(I guess not *quite* a dozen, but almost.)

RockaByeBaby is showing up for me, I don't know if this is a UK/US thing

Hmmm, yeah, the only 2013 release for Cassie that I'm seeing is the "Summer of Love" single.

Run the Jewels was a free mixtape, probably some sample clearance issues keeps it off Spotty.
