I was reading the interview with Jimmy Iovine today and everything he said about curation rang true to me, but when I listen to Radio One, it's too much Top 40 and talking about the music. I love Spotify because it's just the music - just get to it, let me find whatever the curator saw in the music instead of explaining it to me. I get so mad listening to people in a studio talk about music they love or just filling time that could be another song with what is most likely an ad. It's my single biggest gripe with SiriusXM too, but at least I've been really happy with their curation.
- gearoidoc 11y agoYep, that totally makes sense too - however, the two shows I mentioned are quite different from your typical radio show for the following reasons: 1. For the St Vincent Mixtape Delivery Service, Annie Clark takes one story from a collection sent in by listeners. Its real life stuff such as a roadtrip a persons planning or a major life event they're going through. The tracks suit it and theres a call between Clark and the person who sent in their story. Gah, thats a bad description but trust me when I say its very unique. 2. Josh Homme is Josh Homme - he's funny as fuck and makes great picks. Also had Alex Turner on interviewing too. Basically two of my heroes.
