Music

When I was a teenager and really unhappy I had three big escapes from my life: books, livejournal/fandom, and music. I was passionate about my music and fervent about finding new stuff, going to gigs. I would've said my love of music was one of the defining features of my personality.

Then I got all happy and lazy and complacent, and so wrapped up

Oh, please please please can I have a Spotify invite?

Incentive: I know Tom Smith's username on it from when I took his American Music class. ;)

You most definitely can! I think its either the 10th or the 12th that I get new ones, but as soon as I do I'll send you one! Shall I just use your uea email addy?

Yeah I think I was just going through a fairly long off-phase but it is good to be back in love with music. Thanks for the link to that song btw, it is really cool! And I'm amazed you've managed to miss the xx I feel like they might be going to get really overexposed, but I do love them in quite an immense way so it is ok!

Spotify basically lets you listen to almost any music for free. You search for artists in the same way you would on the itunes store, and then directly stream the music to your computer. If you have the free version there are occasional radio style adverts but they're pretty limited and not that obtrusive. If you have the paid version (£10 a month) you get no adverts, can "listen offline" and play spotify through your ipod. I find the £10 a month well worth it because I could easily spend quadruple that on music every month. Hope that makes sense, I'm not really that technical so it might not!

For sure! I've just looked it up and I don't get new ones til the 18th but I will def remember and send you one then :)
