Merry DiSmas! This the season to give it away, give it, away, give it away now and to celebrate Spotify's Festive Playlist 'thing' they've given us some premium memberships to their service to give away...»
If you don't know by now (this number one hundred and twelve, where you been?), Spotifriday is basically a weekly playlist of the best bits of our past seven days. Think of it like one of them cover mount cassettes you used to get with Melody Maker but without all that strange rubbery glue with torn bits of paper that you'd find weeks later attached to your favourite hoodie.

Or at least nobody stopped me when I mooted this suggestion...I guess that gives me free reign then?»
