Notes

I’m excited to start something new on this blog.

Sharing music has always been a passion of mine, and I love connecting with individuals with an open mind towards music and its possibilities. Where I am now is probably also a synthesis of past experiences, whereby I am untoward force-feeding my preferences onto my sphere of influence, but rather I try to maintain a delicate balance of sharing what I like, what I find interesting, what I find fascinating, what piqued my curiosity, while also not being particularly militant in the way I share these discoveries and oddities.

Thus, I stumbled upon this idea to present a loose collection of music that I had listened to over a period from the previous Sunday to the current Saturday. Where possible, I’d like to publish this collection every Saturday.

What I like about this presentation, is that it’s not an active curation on my part, but a low-commitment negotiation with a music streaming service’s recommendation algorithm, as well as my own active seeking out of musical ideas and/or nostalgia.

If you like the sound of that, you can look forward to a new playlist every Saturday on this weblog, or seek out the public WILT playlists on my Spotify profile.

A final note about this particular WILT playlist, is that I felt nostalgic for shoegaze and dreampop, explored more into afrobeat, and suddenly felt nostalgic for nu-metal after coming across an interesting YouTube documentary that explored the beginnings of the sub-genre.
