Oct 20, 2026, 1:17 AMit amazes me regularly how much you can learn about a new musician you just came across and how easily the info is generally found here in the modern age.
I try not to only bitch about what sucks, and this part doesn’t suck. it’s cool as fuck honestly, because before the internet took off, before telecommunications was a part of normal life, if you heard a song by a band you were not familiar with, you could either try to track them down in the music magazines to find out more about them or you could go buy their album and read its liner notes. maybe some random cashier at Hot Topic down the mall knows something about them. highly chaotic and intermittent as information sources go, frankly.
so this, this being able to not only find the music but also find the musician and their other work and the stories around their work and their backstory on a whim, casually, without a library even, is freaking wild. good job on that part, society.
