Spotify!

Spotify's Logo

I just blogged about Spotify, and what it means for the music lovers in my community, at the Vienna Choral Society’s blog. Full disclosure, they’re a client. But oh, how I heart Spotify right now!

As of this afternoon, I have rediscovered – totally dating myself here – music I haven’t heard in 30 years, courtesy of the incredibly fun Shonali Burke’s Disco feed on Spotify. In addition, I was delighted to find good quality (that’s the key) Bollywood covers (The Bombay Vikings’ cover of Chod Do Aanchal) and Hindustani classical music (Prabha Aatre singing Tan Man Dhan) that I’ve been hunting for years and unable to find in the US.

I’m not about to ditch Pandora (which forces me to listen to selections I’d have never otherwise come across) or iTunes (because I’m not about to pay Spotify anything per month to take my tunes out of the country). But oh how I am enjoying Spotify for all its other advantages!

It has been a good musical day.
