Kicking off #MWE 2024! One album a day that I’ve never heard before, all through February. At least one tweet about each.
Here’s my list. As always, focusing on more archival gaps in my musical knowledge, with at least 50% artists who are non white/male. Happy listening!

One thing I love about Philly is it's a super patriotic city without being Republican or Boston
I kind of hate how that podcast interview with Chaotic Good makes me think all the viral chatter is fake. I discovered this music video from a blog and loved it. What a bummer to feel deflated by other people talking about it instead of excited.

Extraction. Nonstop, disgusting levels of extraction is the final goal of tech-infused capitalism.
In no time flat, we’ve gone from “AI and robotics will help you upskill and do more meaningful work” to “we’ll pay you pennies to teach robots how to put 70% of the country out of a job.”
Exclusive: DoorDash launched a new app “Tasks” that pays couriers in some US markets if they submit audio and video clips to help improve AI and robotics models.
Many of these tasks are completing household chores while capturing footage with a body-worn camera — data that would be helpful for humanoid robots.
Instructions: scrub and rinse at least 5 dishes with your hands, hold each clean plate steady in frame for a few seconds before moving to the next one

Replying to @KTmBoyle
I cannot wait until the White House changes hands and all of you ghouls switch back from "you're a traitor unless you bootlick so hard your tongue goes numb" to "the government asking any questions about my offshore fentanyl casino is vile tyranny and I will throw myself in the San Francisco Bay in protest", like werewolves at the last ray of the setting moon.
Crazy how much of 2026 innovation is “we can help you steal shit efficiently”
We made a tool that lets you absorb the vibe of anything you point it at and apply it to your designs
It's absurd and it just works

Just read @epsteingross’ excellent new profile of Westside Cowboy and had to post it. Fantastic writing… philosophically digressive but in a way that always comes back around to illustrate her point. I’ll be stealing the phrase “doom-induced apathy”.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal said she would arrest ICE agents who commit crimes in the city, calling them “fake law enforcement” and warning, “You don’t want this smoke.”

Brilliant article by @profplum99 - I don’t think this could have been articulated anyway possibly better.

The funniest thing Drake ever did on wax was only use the hashtag flow once on Take Care, with the lyric “all your flows bore me, paint drying”.
Ironic that this Camila Cabello song is actually the most effective BRAT-adjacent music in the last year.

If anything To Kill a Mockingbird is a more sanitary version of the history of racism in the South, the actual history is the stuff of utter nightmares
