I’m listening to Spotify all the time and pulling in different things. I might find an artist or a song that I like, and I’ll pull that into playlists, and then you’ll find related artists. But I like an album as a nostalgic thing; I remember buying albums and getting into the whole thing.

That was quite an amazing week.
