When I was in my teens and 20s I sought out any new music all the time, it was like a point of pride. Grad school and a demanding job really tamped that down, but the last few months I've really been enjoying the substack New Bands for Old Heads. It's not lofi beats, but it has given me a small window to the giant and overwhelming world of new music. And it's all curated by a real person.
I’ve known about what Spotify’s been doing with my lofi playlists for some time. But imagine my horror I heard a Notebook LM podcast in my feed. The undercutting of creators is so widespread and upsetting. But I really don’t appreciate how they’ve hacked our attention without thinking how to use these algorithms to better serve our society.
as a fellow lofi listener, this is so eye opening and also disappointing (in myself and the system that's enabled this). With Lily here, we've been listening to more orchestral music and I've loved having that on in the background (Frankfurt Orchestra publishes really good videos on YT) and feeling more human
