I’m a bit intrigued by this new paid venture by music journalist David Greenwald, the founder of Rawkblog. For three bucks a month you get two recommended albums sent to your Spotify inbox every week, along with a “custom made personal mixtape” that’s curated for you by a human being based off your Spotify or last.fm profile.
In this era of digital curation based on complex algorithms, there’s something refreshing about Mercury’s endeavor. I might give it a try.
