Thanks for doing the AMA. I found your music several months ago through Spotify and have become a big fan (if I were the kind of person who made year-end lists of favorite albums, England Keep My Bones would have occupied the #1 slot with no other record really close on its heels).
My question is actually about Spotify -- I know a lot of independent artists aren't particularly thrilled with their business model, and I wonder what your experience has been/what you think about it. Obviously it helps me discover new music, but I confess I'm conflicted, especially when I realized that the 5,000 or so times I listened to "I Still Believe" netted you approximately a $.05.
Anyway, next time you're in DC I'll buy a ticket and a t-shirt. Thanks for the great music.
