I don't get a minute to post very often, but when I'm loving music I'm listening to, I have to share. Jake Shimabukuro and Mick Fleetwood have a blues album they just put out and there are so many gems to love. Hope you get a chance to check it out and find something you add to your own playlists. --Andrea

This article is long, and dense. But it perfectly encapsulates music curation and the art of listening to music on and the streaming platforms.

I used to think that as a curator, I had some kind of boundless good taste when it came to listening to music that I was meant to share with the world. But as notes, much listening is much more personal than that.

After a decade under the influence of music algorithms, a look at what streaming services afford the most engaged fans and what lingers below the surface.
