Re: Jurassic Rock, Mikkeli, Finland in Therapy? Live
My own inactivity is the only thing to blame on this one. After discovering that not even my favourite ilosaari had interesing bands, I must have ignored all the festivals altogether, which was a mistake.

Re: Jurassic Rock, Mikkeli, Finland in Therapy? Live
Can you guys guess who didn’t notice this gig until now? Only 1,5 hours ride from home and I miss the whole event. Maybe I should follow WOM a bit more.

Re: crooked timber - the single! in General Therapy? Topics
Just wondering how I’ve missed this until today. Just spotted it on spotify and was pleasantly surprised about the b-sides. I guess it’s time to order from global, if none of you Finns have extra copy already laying around. :)

Re: Who has “Crooked Timber”? in General Therapy? Topics
CD arrived from Global Music to Me too, it’s nice of them to post CD now and vinyl when it’s released.

Any Spotify users here? in Chit-Chat
Couldn’t find any discussion about Spotify - http://www.spotify.com so here goes.
It’s a music streaming service with growing collection of songs, offering three kinds of accounts (free with spoken ads here and then; one-day pass of 0,99 euros or monthly pass 9,99 euros). Free account requires an invite from a premium account holder (I’m not sure how the invites are granted). There are some sites floating around in web which offer invites every now and then. I’m not sure about the countries in which it is currently available, but I guess those are listed somewhere on the web page.
Spotify is used with its own client application, including quite intuitive user interface and fast response. Finding the artists, starting the playback, seeking inside a song all are happening very quickly and smoothly. Streaming audio is ogg vorbis, with ~160 kbps average bitrate, or so I’ve read somewhere.
I have been using it for a month or so and I find it very promising. In my opinion might well become the next hit music service in the web. Currently I’m stil using the ad-driven account, but I plan to start buying the monthly subscriptions. I’m not using this at home so much, but at work I have lately been listening it quite a bit. I suggest that if you’re living in a country where it’s available to try it.
From Therapy?, there are Nurse, Troublegum, Infernal Love, High Anxiety, One Cure Fits All currently avaliable for listen. For each artist/band, there is a biography from all music guide or similar included and an “Artist radio” with links to similar artists.
