@JohnPhilpin 🤷‍♂️ Listicles like that are more about how hip and indie the author is rather than anything else. I look for new releases in Apple Music practically every day (not just the ones Apple feeds to me based on my preferences), and have never heard of any of those artists, let alone those albums. That’s not to say that they are bad, of course—it’s just that no one should feel bad for not knowing about them. 😀

@JohnPhilpin The world’s output of beautiful music is a massive river, maybe like the legendary Nile in flood season. You’ll never have time to hear all of it. But cup your hands and scoop out some of that flood water and I promise that in with the muck you will find beauty. You will hear things that will change your life and stay with you always.

@hjalm wonderful words —- and I know you are right — I reach into the river a lot

@mjdescy yupsee ... though on other listicles I generally find a couple ... maybe I am no longer hip enough?

@JohnPhilpin I've never heard of any of those but then I'm too old and unhip for Vice 😄

@stefp cough ... I barely 'know' you ... But I know OF your musical pedigree ... Unhip? ... Pfft

@JohnPhilpin Depends on your definition of “hip” I guess. I don’t think it means the same thing as it used to.
