frank ocean - eh i can't find anywhere to buy his stuff :/

but seriously, consuming music exclusively in playlists, on auto-play, and in only singles is like looking at only the corner of a painting, or watching a few minuets of a movie and calling it a day.
i'm not saying that listening to individual songs is bad, it's good! but if that's the only way we listen to music we are missing out on complete works of art that are ALBUMS.

in this video i give some hot takes, vast generalizations and try to get what's in my head out.

let me know what your thoughts are on this, if i'm spot on, or if i'm wrong.

thanks for spending your time here today.

much love,
