Music can be so fun and cool, and you can learn something new every day. Enjoy a song from a “Persons of Interest” episode because you recognize a voice, and with a quick little search, you discover that artist was part of a Euro band [UNKLE] you never listened to before that has a vibe similar to another band [Massive Attack] you discovered years ago because of a different show [House]. All this leads to you finally having the patience to figure out how to use your Amazon Prime membership to enjoy all this music free in this ever-changing world of digital rights. And now, I can enjoy listening to this other band I recently discovered [The Comet is Coming] on a day I previously did not have enough patience to figure out the whole Amazon thing. Now, the next time I want to search up some obscure ancient polyphonic motet or some George Crumb work I have missed for too long and cannot make it to Olin Library [which will forever truly be one of my main happy places], I’m good! The old [academia stacks] and the new [Web 3.0] can exist for one who endeavors to achieve balance. Such is a Saturday morning with minimal pain and growing optimism.
