Adventures in Spotify (firrst of a series)

[inulro]

Still here. Work is still taking up 110% of my energy, thus lack of posting.

I keep having thoughts I'd like to share here, but that's inevitably while I'm walking around Bristol and by the time I get home I'm too tired to turn the computer on. Yeah, I have an iPhone but it's hard to post while walking.

Having a lot of fun with Spotify for the phone. At first I was wallowing in 80s nostalgia (Mute Audio Documents are an amazing collection; Television and Magazine are the US and UK versions of the same thing, and there's no way The Strokes had never heard of Television, as they claim). Lately I've been listening to newer stuff that media indicates I might like. On exploratory listening, Florence + The Machine and Lady Gaga seem to be my sort of thing.

Have also caught up with the Ghoultown albums have have come out since I bought the first 2 + EP when I initially got all excited about them. Pretty much the same thing as the old albums, if anything they're leaning more towards Tex-Mex death metal than Tex-Mex goth. I will still be purchasing the actual CDs directly from the band when I have some cash, because I am A Fan and think they deserve my money.

Strangely, I love Magazine like crazy, but alack, despite repeated attempts have never found an in on Television. Kinda weird, I guess...

I have to admit to preferring Magazine (and certainly being much more familiar with their material) but Television have some moments of genius too.
