Thanks @sammybauch@eriktorenberg! If you've any suggestion for improvement, let me know - even though I plan to focus only on that single feature for this hack/product.
@apassant hmmmm.... HackHunt.co?
an API service would be useful, but then as you explain in the blog post it's not too hard to wrangle the spotify response to show unpopular stuff
ultimately I hope Spotify adds functionality like this to their API - some of the stuff the echnonest does is pretty incredible, like the ability to specify lesser known or up and coming artists in a genre playlist

Chris Anderson wrote a book praising the future of the "Long Tail" - but it seems that music is still a hits based business. Glad to see efforts encouraging fans to listen to less-known but talented artists.
