How did I not know there was an add to Spotify button on Tik Tok and this whole time I’ve been saving vids of the song – (A Tik Tok post) It is an interesting way to view music, maybe not to some but I am from the generation that relied on specific radio shows…
In the lull of gigs (there’s not a lot going on locally right now) and buying vinyl (I’m not allowed this close to Christmas in case its already bought and wrapped) I find myself down a regular rabbit hole on Spotify where I can while away way too much time discovering new songs and hopefully…
