Music

You can listen through a lot of the songs I liked on Spotify, YouTube & SoundCloud. And I share a lot of playlists and music artists I love.

You can also see my most listened to artists, songs and albums alongside my yearly music stats tracked with last.fm. And here are my Spotify stats together with the song I am listening to now.

Riffusion is exciting.

Alfred Spotify Mini Player is useful Alfred plugin. Use it to get info on current song, easily add song to some playlist and more.

Music Theory is great read.

Notes

• Today in music theory, I learned that chords can use different octaves. It's painfully obvious when you think about it, but for some reason it never occurred to me.
• If you buy an album from Bandcamp, it's around the financial equivalent to the artist of you streaming their music every day for 3 years.
