new blog entry reading my favorite band's book and realizing how much streaming services have taken from me... much to think about
i think social media has forced most forms of art into a position in which expression is treated as disposable content and it's so tragic. all music streaming services i've tried have got the same disrespect for artists, for example: Nina Simone's debut album 'Little Girl Blue', which is such a tender beautiful and influential piece, according to spotify, was released in 2013, ten years after her passing.
i feel like when i was downloading albums to put on my mp4 as kid or even when i used to buy knock-off cds the whole experience was more endearing and two-sided. the worst part in my opinion is that they could potentially do something different. mubi for example shows that it cares for the movies it holds on its service, spotify simply doesn't care.
yess it really is crazy how an app that is about MUSIC cannot get the release dates right... i don't want to sound like everything is bad and evil about being able to stream literally every song in existence, because it allowed me to find music i wouldn't have found otherwise, but i do think its a bit sad how much it erased intention and context.
you don't look for music, it is catered to you. i never really thought about the mp4 example but you're so right lol especially because usually you'd download some song your sibling told you about, or some song you found on youtube that u loved... algorithms and streaming services are useful, but i don't want to lose the other parts that make music wonderful
right !! my brother used to get music recs by checking similar artists on wikipedia, then go to a forum to download the cd rip, by that you got context on the artist and a little community interaction; streaming is really good for some things and it's easier to put music out there but it misses that interaction and community building, also algorithms cannot predict new random hyperfixations lol, it takes extra effort
