Awkward Commas

So Spotify is pretty awesome and the hype from Europeans for the last 3 years is justified. But I get that same feeling of anxiety with it that I do when I go into a library, where it is just like, here is (nearly) every piece of this specific art that I love so much, how will I ever find the time to enjoy all of it.

I’ve started to build playlists off the Acclaimed Music song lists, if nothing else to educate me on all the songs I’m supposed to know. I’m in the 1920s right now and have stumbled upon some pretty cool stuff (and I know…these are all obvious to anyone who has heard the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music set). But it is pretty crazy to listen to a Blind Willie McTell song from 1928 and realize where Jack White stole a bunch of his moves from.
