Music Mondays: Greta's autumn recommendations
Spotify curates so many personalized playlists for its users that some music listeners may not feel they need to make their own playlists anymore. Between the “Lit Shower Mix” the algorithm made for me and the new “daylist” feature, it would be easy to think I need not curate my own mixes (my first personalized “daylist” was titled “yearning swamp tuesday afternoon,” stylized with lowercase letters to show cringeworthy Gen Z sensibilities). However, denying oneself the pleasure of creating hundreds of niche little pockets of somewhat related music would be a disservice! Playlists and mixtapes are like little time capsules that, when dug up years later, ignite sense memories of exactly where you were when you made it. It is a truly miraculous thing.
