------------------------------------------------

Like Russian submariners from the 1970s trapped under the merciless
iceberg of January inscribing last words onto Rizla papers though we know they'll never be read, the crew of The Quietus lie round twitching and moaning in the darkness. Luckily a new musical toy - Spotify - has
dropped into our laps like the hot marmalade slathered crumpet of
destiny.

First up this week, Luke Turner extols the virtues of the new, music industry-saving device, while John Doran use it to play Godflesh, over and over again. All Hail Spotify! http://tinyurl.com/8b3pho
