...but algorithms can still throw up interesting music...
If I like a particular track and follow the algorithms (so called 'radio' on Spotify) I am led down a new and revealing path
Trouble with radio, radio is what's available in my car for instance. simply doesn't come close for breadth of genres and obscurity of artistes
Anyway @Wade Cornell I'm surprised NZ radio does it for you. Last time I was there I noticed that whatever the station (mainstream, rock, soul etc.) you could guarantee to hear at least one track by Elton John and one by Rod Stewart every hour. Every hour
That maybe commercial radio in NZ but ironically the state owned broadcaster Radio New Zealand or rnz as it is now known has some very good world music programmes with Trevor Reekie's Worlds of Music, Nick Tipping's Inside Out jazz show or Music 101 which show cases a lot of local and international music including rap (to be fair not my favourite) , alternative rock, even the occasional jazz and many different genres. Trevor Reekie and Nick Tipping a top musos and know what they are talking about.
Inside Out
Nick Tipping brings you classic recordings and modern masterpieces from the world of jazz.

I sent quite a bit of the time listening to the Concert FM classical prorammes...but also have a big CD, cassette (remember those) and vinyl collection...well it actually numbers to several thousand...
