Spotify

Soko: I know it’s starting to get very controversial to like it, especially if you are yourself a musician trying to survive in this crazy state of music-industry nightmare. But to be honest, since Spotify, I don’t even use iTunes anymore since I have Spotify. All I do all day is make playlists on there for every occasion possible, and it helps me discover a lot of little niche bands through the “related artists” tabs. I feel like thanks to that, my musical nerdness had improved a lot. Also, I pay for it, so there’s no commercials.
