I love complaining about 'kids these days' & their music tastes as much as the next guy, but don't lose sight of the fact that we now have more access to amazing music than ever before. You just have to find it. I thought I would share some cool links that help me find music. NPR Tiny Desk concerts are one of my favourite ways to discover new music. Their audio team is so great the recording often sound better than the studio versions: Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ferZnZ0_rSM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ferZnZ0_rSM Snarky Puppy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfzu33BfRHE&t=107s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfzu33BfRHE&t=107s KEXP has an amazing YouTube channel where they post full performances of an amazingly diverse array of artists. Discovered my currently favourite artist ADHD via them: ADHD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSHSpy_Iy_g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSHSpy_Iy_g Public Service Broadcasting: https://youtu.be/mScesON6Kx4?t=41 https://youtu.be/mScesON6Kx4?t=41 Paste Magazine also has some really great sets: Kate Tempest: https://youtu.be/gM4aPRiZJbk?t=57 https://youtu.be/gM4aPRiZJbk?t=57 Avishai Cohen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-Bulmk2MzY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-Bulmk2MzY There is so much going on that doesn't involve Spotify at all, for example funk band Vulfpeck sold out Madison Square Garden without any charting songs, manager or big label, just by having a passionate internet fandom. They recorded it on like a gimballed iphone, It's glorious: https://youtu.be/rv4wf7bzfFE?t=591 https://youtu.be/rv4wf7bzfFE?t=591
