Thanks for the honest feedback. We've been discussing this in the office, and we agree!

If I can convince the team, next week we'll implement some new logic in the Parabola flow so that we select more from the middle of the popularity graph of concerts rather than the top.

This is where crowd sourcing has value over curation. Let me tell you about this awesome little regional jazz ensemble playing down the street that others don’t know about.

You certainly can offer crowdsourced vs curated content, but if all you ever offer is curated then you can only scale so much.

Wouldn't it be better to try and select artists (or at least genres) the Spotify user "likes"?

Songkick, and spotify for that matter, already do that
