One thing I'm hating, though it's probably my fault: the other day I played a bunch of stuff that my six-year-old wanted to hear (mostly big pop hits and stuff from musicals) and now my recommendations are totally fucked.

This is little while ago, but I had a message saying 'You listened to Cassie. Check out this gig near you' accompanied by this photo:
http://o.scdn.co/300/1c926d8163f2399d7f87c87e3a917ceaed958e43
I was excited until I followed the link and realised that it was actually this Cassie:

Swear to god though, there was about 60 seconds I spent trying to work out why Cassie was appearing at Trof Fallowfield second on the bill after 'powerful and almost instrumental rock trio MARVIN'.

I didn't go, but this is the other Cassie in action:

because i listened to the mavericks (and not particularly recently), today spotify would like me to listen to charlie rich AND buck owens AND merle haggard AND kris kristofferson AND george jones & tammy wynette. that's one email, one source artist, five suggestions. and, tbh, they had me at charlie rich.

I put it down to the perhaps fanciful idea that it is not designed to recommend really, it is instead intended to successfully imitate one of those people who say things "You like music, then you must like such and such" or "you play a musical instrument!? So does my neighbor's cousin, you should meet them and form a band!"

i had a nightmare period where people were telling me spotify kept telling them i was listening to carly simon's "coming around again." (which i maybe played like TWICE while investigation her top 40 career!). i think spotify might have been trying to goad me into using "private session" less often.

It's a shame that Spotify only looks at actual listened, I really liked Deezer where you can specifically mark favourite artists and songs (which their heuristics then takes into account). I marked about 100 of my favourite artists and immediately their recommendations were spot on. If I want that info into Spotify I'd have make a playlist with those 100 artists and play that on repeat at night or something.
