Quote : The fastest growing sector of the culture economy is distraction. Or call it scrolling or swiping or wasting time or whatever you want. But it’s not art or entertainment, just ceaseless activity.

Ted Goia puts 10 albums in the winner's circle!

"Trends come and go, and it’s often hard to separate music of real value from the merely fashionable. As a result, it can take some digging to find new musicians to dig.

But if you’re persistent, you will find the winners, even in a down market.”

Happy Birthday to #NickDrake who would have been 75 toady.

"Today would be Nick Drake’s 75th birthday. But the only thing about Drake that reached maturity was his music. He died at age 26, back in 1974—possibly as a result of suicide. His legacy is secure nowadays, and Drake is considered one of the great singer-songwriters of the 1970s.” - TG
