Yeah, my expectations for him are always high, and he always deliver. I'm not focused on the same things that he is, but through him I feel like I get a smart window into that space and it always leaves me thinking interesting thoughts, which is all you can ask of someone...
Music is one of my big things, I enjoy a pretty wide variety of genres and styles.
I just looked and I have about 3,400 albums in my collection, from classical to jazz (multiple eras and sub-genres) to industrial, electronic, death metal, grindcore, pop, punk, R&D, soul, folk, experimental and genre-bending stuff, indie rock, doom metal, black metal, melodic death metal, thrash, prog rock, ambient, etc.
I tend to think that to me there's "good music" and "music I don't like", don't really care about genres.
Thanks. Figured you wouldhave broad taste based on the breadth of things discussed in your blog/substack. I am a Deadhead and also go for other jam bands and bluegrass/jamgrass and reggae. I like much more than that but not pop or metal. My listening is moslty those genres.
I'm not super well versed in that genre, Allman Bros probably my fave (if that even fits in the genre), I like some dead stuff, a little Phish, and some bluegrass, but I don't know a ton.
I forgot to mention, but one of my fave music rabbit holes a few years ago is Klezmer and derivatives, lots of great improvisational music there with eastern-european folk influences.
Yeah, interesting times for sure... CHTR and CMCSA moving too.
If you want something pretty cool that is Klez-influenced, check out a band called "The Lithuanian Empire", their self-title album is quite excellent (it's the one with the purple and black cover art), IMO.
Interview: ‘Jesse Livermore’ (Podcast)
That conversation with Jesse is really good about Bitcoin, society and economics. Very thoughtful and thought provoking!
Jesse's ability to look forward through something and then invert it backwards... his process of thinking is worth observing...

I think...... Focus matters a lot!!!

"I wonder who’s the Indonesian musician/band that I’d enjoy the most, if I only knew about them."
I wonder what North American bands you already enjoy.

Klezmer def works for me. Close to bluegrass in many and havingbeen raised as a Jew and still culturally a Jew, I have been exposed to Klezmer.
On a separate topic, fun times in Maloneland today with DISCA/T.
Yeah, interesting times for sure... CHTR and CMCSA moving too.
