I want my Substack feed to be like my iTunes (Apple Music library...) varied, diverse, weird even and pushing the limits of what we call music... BUT every song in my library has a story behind it, every piece of music was DISCOVERED by me, not shoved into my ear holes without my consent. That is what algorithms get wrong, they thing they have our consent. What we want is the ability to discover something, to wander down an alley and discover something we did not know existed in the world, to be continually surprised and delighted, but it’s always our choice to collect and curate, to attach a story to... figure out how to write that algorithm and we’ll accept it.
