Locality comes from MusicBrainz and Wikidata, not from Spotify. A Spotify match is a name match. Borough links stay off the postcode counts. Gig listings come from Skiddle and Ticketmaster when those keys are set, and stay empty when they are not. A Spotify login can rank For you from that session. Taste is not stored on the server.

The weekly email is not switched on yet. The rest of the site works as usual.
