Concerning Discovery in Streaming Music

The Psalms — Last week, Spotify users were treated to the service's annual " Spotify Wrapped " feature: a visual summary of an account's listening habits throughout the year, including their most listened-to artists.

Bandcamp: Streaming's Secret Savior

The Psalms — Having watched every single one of the digital institutions which had been borned with me and shared in unequal parts the creation of my worldview and frameworks for participating in culture either die completely apart from their ability to create *actual* value (MySpace) or turn to the Babylon of ad tech and the gargantuan rich idiots who feed it to survive... then thrive... I realized that there was *a single one*, in fact, who - as far as I could tell - had done no wrong.

Honda: From Trendsetters to Just Another Car Company

Speedmonkey — The 1990s. Not the greatest time for the United States auto industry. In those days, with a few exceptions, American cars were all overpriced, devoid of quality and generally unreliable.
