If you enjoy listening to NRK P3 and also use Spotify then Andreas Solberg over at NRKBeta has got a present for you. He’s written some nifty code which uses Spotify’s new Metadata API to create a page showing NRK P3’s A, B and C play-lists all hooked up with Spotify links. This is a nice way to grab hold of the music you like and listen to it whenever it suits you. Also, it’s very, very cool.

freshspotify is an alert service which will email you whenever music from your favourite bands are added to Spotify. Account creation/log-in is done via your Google account, and it will even suck in your favourite artists from last.fm and add alerts for them. Super nifty or what?

It’s interesting to see the differences in approach various artists have to the Internet.
Trent Reznor has time, and time, and time again proven that he “gets it”. Yesterday he posted the following message on nin.com:
1.7.09: your gift!
The internet is full of surprises these days.
I was contacted by a mysterious, shadowy group of subversives who SOMEHOW managed to film a substantial amount (over 400 GB!) of raw, unedited HD footage from three separate complete shows of our Lights in the Sky tour. Security must have been lacking at these shows because the quality of the footage is excellent.If any of you could find a LINK to that footage I’ll bet some enterprising fans could assemble something pretty cool.
Oh yeah, you didn’t hear this from me.

Proving yet again that he knows how to build and maintain a fan base. I hope it’s working for him, because as a NIN fan I have to say it’s working for me. I can’t wait to see what people do with this leaked footage, and I hope that it only does good and adds even more to NIN’s fan base.
