Despite having a multi-billion-dollar net worth, you decided to stop paying artists for songs with less than 1,000 streams (months before giving Joe Rogan $250,000,000). So I made a playlist of 300+ great songs with less than 1,000 streams to give them more visibility and plays.

I love seeing the creative ways people use Spotify. Does anyone have an unusual use case you think others should try?

Fun fact: “Higher Ground” was recorded in one take. Stevie said in an interview: “I played the drums, the bass on the Moog with my left hand, the clavinet with my right hand, and I sang at the same time. Everything was done live.”

Worked with @okayplayer to rank De La Soul's albums from worst to best (even though "worst" is a stretch since they've never made a bad album). Unexpectedly challenging assignment, but glad to revisit the music and walk away more knowledgeable about them okayplayer.com/every-de-la-so…

Newspapers are closing at an emergency-level rate—over the past 20 years, America has lost more than 3,000. For the past six years, the photographer Ann Hermes has been documenting the lives lived in these dying places across the country. See more images: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/059DXx

Lucy Pearl “You” has always been like a Top 10-20 party song in L.A., but it’s grabbed the #1 spot the last couple of years. It’s surpassed “Ain’t no fun” and everything else. The fact that it’s clean/appropriate probably helps too…it’s like our own Maze “Before I let go” now

Merry Christmas Eve! Resharing this flip I made of Wonderful Christmastime for a @micro_chop sample flip challenge from 2020. You can cop this on Bandcamp (linktree in bio? or did that get cancelled?) Happy Holidays to all!



Essential listening.
