Started this over the weekend, incredible stuff. It’s an investigation into the rise of Spotify and the consequences streaming has had for recorded music, musicians and listeners. Great read for any music lover. I’ll warn you, it might make you feel a little crazy or sad.

There is one crucial card I feel that must be tacked on to the list of Eno's Oblique Strategies: "Trap yourself in a greenroom between soundcheck and showtime...now await insanity, results, or both". Time and time again our band finds itself in this state of limbo, but one of my favorite new greenroom pastimes is commandeering the Spotify lyrics page of any song and turning into a chaotic Akai sampler. You essentially just need to click on the lyrics wherever on the song page and it will play the song at that exact point...feel free to get real wild with it and start doing 16th note taps on the lyrics all over the place lol...You'll soon realize that you can basically become a Kirkland's version of Fred Again overnight. I do feel like this technique is gonna catch on lol...you heard it here first!

I’m a DJ at my local station, KGLT :) it’s so fun! People at the grocery store and stuff stop me and tell me about how much they love my show sometimes. Super rewarding and wholesome. I also love using spinitron for an alternative to streaming algorithm radio when I want to hear something new (I work a warehouse job so I can’t always DJ for myself). it has live streaming from like, 300 stations across the country. super super fun. Today I found this station in Maine and the DJ on air was this guy who hasn’t done a show for 30 years playing a bunch of forgotten Maine jam bands that were super sick - can’t get that stuff from the Spotify algo
