A blissfully quiet day at work meant lots of music listening time. I 
ended up having a bit of a classic metal delight. As a teenager, I 
listened to lots of Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and other 
such delights. I occasionally hear the odd song or have a Black 
Sabbath fest but rarely go for it. Being on my brother's spotify 
family plan has advantages. Spotify is problematic and I do buy a fair 
amount of music. Since Google's Play service for playing music I 
owned shut, I have found myself using Spotify more. Well today was a 
great example of what Spotify does right. I stuck on a classic metal 
playlist and had a lovely time listening to songs I have not heard for 
a long time. I shall be listening to it some more! I also need to find 
an alternative where I can store music somewhere and access through 
the cloud without dicking about too much. Open source is ideal but my 
ethics take a back seat when it gets too difficult to use the open 
source alternative.
