something really important to me that i haven't figured out how to phrase pithily is the interpretative density of music, like occupying many perspectives simultaneously or rapidly oscillating between applicable people, contexts, whatever despite emerging from the same mouth or same instrument
even when the relevant theme or circumstance is clear enough at some time, the positionality is this dense bramble and sometimes the best you can do is jump inside and observe the disorienting overlapped vines
recap playlists are fascinating because they highlight the most replayed tracks, but these are often the least significant. or at least have a complicated relationship to significance. i’m thinking of acuteness, of extension, of temporality
playlists are basically the only salvageable thing from youtube recap, the categorization is rather poor. also i pretty inconsistently hop between yt and soundcloud and bandcamp
