Awesome selection of music. Love it.

@gregmoore @gregmoore thank you!! it was fun to put together. I always enjoy your micro reviews, I’d love to see your picks for this challenge.

I’ll consider that a challenge. 😄(Thanks for reading my silly feelings about music.)

love this! Related, would you have any interest in participating in a Crucial Tracks interview? If so, here are the details: www.crucialtracks.org/participa...

I think you would enjoy it! Let me know.

oh - clearly I am going to have to join in ... 🖇️ I already have a start - but maybe an opportunity to finish some parts and extend others - and of course you are asking more questions than I typically do.

Oh - and on drilling through - I see this was all stated by @rknightuk - and you will notice in that link above how I am already a big fan of @bjhess and his album whale - 🔗 where I keep some of these answers - it's all connected.

@JohnPhilpin oh yes please do join, I’d love to see your answers! (Album whale is so great isn’t it!)

@endonend oh wow, yes, I’d love to! (I really enjoyed the last interview of the amazing @patrickrhone. )

awesome! 😄 I have one for sure queued up for early March, but after that no one is 100% locked in to a slot, so not a rush. I know these can take a little time. Appreciate you taking part!

in case you are interested @hutaffe

@JohnPhilpin ha! Thanks for the pointer ☺️ Happy to write about it as well. Need to get through some election anxiety first though 🫣

@hutaffe. shouldn’t be anxiety … and should be done.

@endonend perfect, it will take me some time as I will have to waaaay overthink each question

@JohnPhilpin I appreciate the excellent album whale lists! 🙌

@bjhess well - i have the advantage of having access to some rather cool software:-)

I need to also get some updates add in there.

@bjhess a thought as I have started another list on album whale

I very much am an artist first kinda guy .. then albums then tracks then singles

My new list is another based on artists not albums.

What would it take to modify album whale so a link like

music.apple.com/us/artist...

Could be pulled to create a list about the people behind the music?

@JohnPhilpin Hmm, I’m not sure. Our music API source would need to support it, then we’d need to process it and build the data structures in our app to support that new type, and then display it. Unfortunately we don’t currently have any available time to enhance Album Whale’s feature set.

@bjhess good thought though? - but I understand

@JohnPhilpin It's a good thought! Though it's not quite what Album Whale was created for (a service for displaying albums and their artwork in a lovely layout), it could still be interesting.

@bjhess yes - get that .. maybe a sister app? Maybe it’s only me that thinks artists over albums?

@bjhess also explains the name 😂
