Idk how I first learned about MYT but I wish I did so I could thank them. Every track is hits better than the one preceding it.

Excellent writing that stands in stark contrast to the NYT music critic’s piece on the topic.

David Bowie: to be an artist is to be "dysfunctional" (Mar. 31, 1998) | Charlie Rose
youtube.comDavid Bowie says that the act of creating - art or music - isn’t something enjoyable. It’s painful. Dysfunctional. Even as someone who isn’t an “artist”, the best things I’ve ever done sort of sucked while doing them.
What we think of as “traditional country” did not originate with white conservative men — far from it. And yet, as a consequence of marketing, that is the dominant perception people have of the genre: That it’s not made for everyone and that it stands not for combating disenfranchisement but for preserving it.
It’s funny that this article, and not Cowboy Carter, is what finally makes me think about country music a little bit differently.
From when I saw Jadé Fadojutimi’s exhibit last year. Her work, truly remarkable and evocative. Some critics say she doesn’t live up to the hype - I think they’re wrong. But what do I know?
I’m not sure I get this but I love it. Could stare at it for hours.
