As the year comes to a close, Spotify lets me know what I’ve been listening to this year, and to the surprise of no one, I’ve listened to a lot of music. However, this year was a bit different.
I started a new job earlier this year, and it allowed me the opportunity to listen to a lot of music. The job didn’t care if I had music playing through my headphones at work as long as I completed my dictated task on time. So I went about my day listening to music non-stop. The issue soon came up that I was running out of new music. I was getting tired of listening to the same Casey song for the Hundredth (dumb joke) time. The new Shrezzers and HUNG album had been released but those were getting boring as well. So I set myself out to discover new music. And what I discovered was a whole wealth of untapped music potential.
