First, the NY Times sucks.

Second, please support musicians by spending the $5 per week purchasing music from musicians you enjoy. Spotify is a horrendous service from the professional musician's standpoint. It takes 6-10 streams to earn a musician $0.01. Yes, major acts can still make a living. But have a care for the up & coming acts who need the income to be able to continue creating. Thank you.
