I highly recommend getting Spotify Premium... it is worth the $10 a month far more than Netflix is IMO

- no commercials
- entire world of music
- available on mobile devices (not in free membership)
- offline mode allows you to download your playlists to laptop/device for listening when no Internet available (example... I have a list of 200 favorite tracks that I have available offline on my iPad that I listen to in my car, hand picked from any album any artist)


with that said, I'd like to contribute music... my favorite band Dr.Dog just came out with a new album and the best track on it happens to be called Warrior Man

here's the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7wMiWyj5pY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Thanks, right now I am on the Free Spotify for music at work, and like it so far, might upgrade to Premium, but thanks for your thoughts.

To add to the thread, but enjoying Mayer Hawthorne to put me in a solid mood at the office.

good Christ, outside of Tower's Irish bands, I don't think I've ever heard of 95% of these groups.

[mu03eng]

Fun. 's new album Some Nights is in heavy rotation on my Spotify playlist.  Also anything by The Avett Brothers.  Old school is CCR and Jim Croce.  Also Jay-Z and Kanye album Watch the Throne is great.

Ziggy, that is what makes it cool nowadays.  If you're the only one that has heard of it, you tell a couple of people and seem cool cuz you are the one who told everyone about 'that band' before they were big.

Yeah but you have to listen to bad music to be able to do that.

For the record, I did that with Bush and Gin Blossoms.

Or the less crotchety get the damn kids off my lawn  answer is that with the proliferation of media delivery systems(twitter, facebook, spotify, pandora, itunes, etc)  it is much easier for a new band to get music out there and have someone hear it and like it.  Also means the megabands like U2 or Springstein are a thing of the past because the audience has become so fractured.

Well I'm 30, so I'd say I am not crotchety.

For the record, I did that with U2.   Also, I was at Verve Pipe's first show back around 1990.  It was a big deal, because two local bands, Johnny with an I and H2O for the Pool had disbanded and merged to form the new local supergroup.     And during my senior year, ASMU scored a concert of two acts that nobody ever heard of.   So for $5, I got to see 10,000 Maniacs and Tracy Chapman.
