Scot-ify your Spotify

As you're reading a blog about music, chances are you will know about Spotify. In fact, chances are you'll have downloaded it, and chances are you're listening to your favourite artist's back catalogue right now.

Either that or one of those friendly adverts narrated by 'Roberta' that cannily pop up at sparse enough intervals to keep us recession-hit misers listening for nada.

The 'free' music streaming service has taken the online world by storm, so in keeping with our twin interests in Scottish music and digital innovation (remember our token Twitter gesture last month?), we've created a Scottish Spotify playlist.

This is certainly not a definitive list, and is informed by personal taste rather than encyclopaedic breadth - which basically means you won't find any Del Amitri or Deacon Blue.

But if you have suggestions on what would improve it, let us know below. We're especially keen to know if there are any lesser known, up and coming bands on Spotify that we've missed.
