Courtesy of @craner The greatest playlist ever made? Sure, I'm biased. And in truth, I've only ever got about 12 tracks into this 42 track playlist. But I do know the first 12 tracks are the best playlist ever made, whatever happens next.

Although lately I've been wondering if I've sacrificed something in the process of becoming obsessed with this fusion, this fusion is something I really seek out (if not consciously) in music.* Music that is melodic and romantic and sweet but also has hard-edged, abrasive elements. Most...

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/03/15/genre-is-disappearing-what-comes-next Is genre dying – and is that a good/bad/indifferent thing? Was it only ever a convenient tool for cataloguing and marketing? Or does the idea of genre have a positive, shaping influence on music? Are any of...

Genius idea for a thread this.
