I was browsing Spotify this evening and decided to maybe listen to the Captain's albums from the start of his career up to and including Trout Mask Replica. Oddly, TMR isn't here? I know I can just find it on Youtube, but what the ****?
It seems all of the prior albums are there (?), but his most famous album is absent. Some label technicality probably. It usually is. This is one of the reasons why music streaming isn't perfect. I've actually got many albums on CD that are neither on Youtube or on Spotify. And god knows I don't exactly have the most obscure tastes, so this says something about how riddled with holes the current streaming situation is.
Anyway, I'll just fill in the blanks with Youtube if I decide to actually listen to all this music, but I did need to blink and look twice when I couldn't find TMR.
Immediate update: What??? I searched for the album name and it comes up under the name "Gerben Smiths"? Whaaaat?!
