I don't know anything about Spotify, so I don't know whether it's easy to do this or not, but perhaps you could copy the text of a playlist once you've made it? I read your folk reviews with great pleasure, and then can generally listen to the youtube links you post, but I would like to know which songs of a given artist you think are particularly good, or the appropriate thing for someone whose just read your review to listen to.segundushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310463913332442785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9987513.post-74877510547026791932012-06-24T14:40:50.019+01:002012-06-24T14:40:50.019+01:00I'm really not sure.

It says in Winstanley's manifesto all property is to be shared, but that's no reason to let monogamy slip.<br /><br />The Ranters argued all things are created by God therefore sin is created by God therefore sinning is Godly, therefore your place or mine. It probably made most sense when you thought the world was about to end. (Which many did, at the time.)<br /><br />...all of which is probably a diversion, really. I enjoyed reading this, but confess I am one of those you mention who thinks of Rosselson as a writer of songs for other people.Gavin Burrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347163260510316959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9987513.post-14990533249132395792012-06-24T13:42:53.578+01:002012-06-24T13:42:53.578+01:00Er...then please imagine that you are reading exac...Er...then please imagine that you are reading exactly the same review, only without a link to a play list at the bottom.Andrew Rilstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786623930392936889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9987513.post-33640175578976760272012-06-24T13:07:30.356+01:002012-06-24T13:07:30.356+01:00> for people who do not have a theological obje...> for people who do not have a theological objection to Spotify.<br /><br />Did you know that Spotify is not available in most countries?
