I spent last weekend exploring the alternatives to Spotify and came up with one that, for me, is a winner. YMMV, but at least Neil Young started some long-overdue conversations about Joe Rogan, streaming music monopolies, and artists’ royalties.
Midweek I was bereft of computer and so was forced back into a mid-20th Century mode of living and communicating. It was nice. No posts, though.
For your weekend viewing pleasure, I directed your attention this morning to “Flee,” a Sundance ‘21 winner and almost certain Oscar nominee (in both animation and feature documentary categories) that is at last available in theaters and for streaming rental. It’s a powerful refugee’s tale that’s one of the past year’s very best films.
