I've       discovered several new bands that I enjoy (and some that I don't) by       playing Spotify's Daily Mixes or other playlists that I come across.                AA> But when playing an LP, it's more like a special event.

That probably would not happen       so easily if I was listing to an album.               I am still trying to set aside some listening time, but it's almost       impossible sometimes.               Kev               --- Telegard/2/QWK v3.09.g2-sp4/mL        * Origin: Razor's Domain/2 BBS (1:19/50)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 19/50 90/1 105/81 106/201 987 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 124/5014 5016 129/305 330 331 153/7715 226/30 229/110 307       SEEN-BY: 229/317 400 424 426 428 664 700 280/464 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 387/25 26 28 396/45 712/848 2320/105       PATH: 19/50 396/45 229/426           |
