This week, Baffler contributing editor @lizpelly.bsky.social will publish “Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist.” She first wrote about the streaming giant for us back in 2017:

thanks everyone for the love and the listens in 2024…. -TL & OYSTERTONES

Thanks to everyone who found us and the wonderful musicians we were lucky to work with this year

Team Love / OYSTERTONES 2024 Recap: music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

our favorite LPs of 2024 (please drop your own faves below) #BestAlbums2024

Episode 312-2: Funkwrench Blues, Grant Green Jr., Hamid Drake; Jamie Saft [pictured], Brad Jones; Xhosa Cole; Leiba Trio; Quispel Quintet; Randy Ingram, Drew Gress, Billy Hart. Photo credit: Ziga Koritnik www.mixcloud.com/MondoJazz/ja... @fullyaltered.bsky.social @funkwrenchblues.bsky.social

I hear Jamie Saft playing against the rhythm section groove. Straight against swung (a dissonance reinforced by use of clusters) but also placing chords slightly ahead or behind the subdivision - not quantized. This gives the music its texture. An approach suggested by Monk and taken further here.

are you following our sister label, OYSTERTONES? @oystertones.bsky.social
