youtu.beMaybe the best thing I watched this week. Someone responded on this intense discussion about music I started on Farcaster.
I’m now of the mind that all artists should be making these Best Ofs, even if just as an edited playlist, ideally made by the artist or group themselves. As much as I know that I can go to the DSPs for this purpose, I like the idea of the artist choosing the songs and the flow of these cuts to help guide me through their catalog.
