Notes

I’ve been listening to a lot more beat-related music this past week, particularly landing on Four Tet’s ever-growing Spotify playlist (currently at 51 hours of music) as well as some recommendations from Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist. Mid-way through the week I was also recommended some interviews done with David Bowie that revealed what a thoughtful and creative person he was, and that sparked an interest to explore his discography. Prior to this week, I’d only heard about his legend but never pulled on any particular thread for my own education.

I’m still in a headspace of exploring unique, intense and passionate rhythms, and as the new week approaches my first port of call will be listening to more music by Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah because I am immensely taken by the raw energy, virtuosity and elegance present in the performances of him and his band.

On a final note, I also started watching Sons of Anarchy, thirteen years after the pilot first aired (2008).
