spotify really does give small/indie artists a fair shake, exposure-wise. ~halfway through this week's new music tuesday list, and at least two

artists have only ~125 followers.

miya folick is one I just checked (the listed song was promising enough that I am listening to some others she has and some are already better); and high dive heart is the other really little act. someone else is under 300, leo kalyan. at least one of those non-miyas has only one song on spotify, which I've seen other weeks from time to time; so they are really going small/new at times.

these smallies are mixed in with much bigger/more well-known performers, which is the usual for this list -- it's a curated one and can have some odd inclusions, but I have found some fantastic music from it that I wouldn't have been likely to find otherwise, and their curator(s) also have found some acts that have gone on to get much bigger. (I've been spotify-ing since around the end of july last year.)

Do you have premium? Because the ads are getting really invasive - amoxy Jun 23, 20:14 4
- I do - I am spending less money on music, by quite a bit, than I did without it. - b. Jun 23, 20:20

  - I do want to check out the just-announced streaming. amazon's offerings haven't been as customizable, I hope they step-up, too. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jun 23, 20:26
- Dude. Splurge. Consider it a couple of drinks you didn't have to buy because of the ads and just pay the $9.99 8-) -- nm - JD Jun 23, 20:17
