spotify’s algorithm recommended for me to start listening
to shibuya-kei pop music,
and i have to say,
i don’t usually follow whatever a computer algorithm
tells me to listen to, but in this instance,
i’m kinda glad i did
spotify got confused on what music to recommend for me to listen to next,
probably because i like to listen to coltrane after i listen to el-p and tupac
before going into an hour long listening session of aerosmith and chicago,
then manchester orchestra, then leos janacek, a little bit of bach,
with the final touch of mountain goats and sex pistols to round out my music-listening day,
after which, i must admit, i am a bit exhausted
how do i get spotify’s algorithm
to stop recommending xmas music
for this entire month?
perhaps i need to be the type of person
that just plays cannibal corpse
all throughout november and december
