"I love Herbie Hancock. That 70s jazz-fusion era, a lot of people think it’s really corny. But I love it – incredibly virtuosic playing, squeezed into pop music structures? That’s my whole shit."

I watched "Hitsville: The Making of Motown", which mostly covers the early years. It focuses on the higher management of the label itself, but with some interesting insights from the actual people who were there making some of the greatest music in American history.

This year, I finally got rid of my Spotify Premium subscription. When I want to stream music, I use Youtube Music, but I mostly listen to music I purchased from Bandcamp or that I ripped from CDs.
