I tire of this belief that all spam is from harvested emails. A good proportion of the spam I receive (on several different accounts) is also CCed to endless permutations of my surname - all it takes is a list of first names, a list of surnames, a list of top level domains, and software. Much easier than bothering to trawl the web.
Nearly all my spam is directed directly at that email address, please don't presume that I'm deluded in linking the two events.
Assuming you're talking about the digitalmusicart.com address, you're on te very low end of Google results. Just because spam is directed at a particular address doesn't prove that it's the result of publicity for that address. As I've already mentioned, I get endless spam which is clearly targetting every permutation of first and surnames for a given TLD. They'll hit on "simon+troup" fairly often.
