I use a webtool (Sort Your Music Playlist Machinery) to sort my Spotify playlists by a variety of metadata values eg danceability, valence, etc. The one I’ve found to be most enjoyable is BPM, in a larger playlist (500 or so songs) it makes sure that almost every track has a really nice no-crossfade transition to the next one, with the consistent tempo allowing a strong vibe to develop akin to a good DJ set

I curate the vibes from beginning to end. I am told that is a weird request to make of people when I make them a playlist. I think I am just taking someone on a journey- plus transitioning from one song to another flawlessly always itches my brain in a satisfying way.

I reach a mind orgasm every time I get to order a group of songs in a way that just makes sense

The ‘sort’ feature added to Spotify playlists is antithetical to the entire concept of a playlist, which, like the mixtape, is supposed to be a well curated collection of songs delivered in order to tell a certain emotional message. Rearranging the songs into an order as banal as title or artist entirely rewrites the story I spent hours, days, months adding to and adjusting accordingly. Spotify’s so far up the binary ass of the computer overlord they’ve forgotten what human intuition looks like, forgotten the importance of irrationality in how we order ourselves and our lives. Music is an oft-used medium of the mystics, and it‘s the ineffable, un-categorizable confluence of sounds and feelings that influence god-like visions and euphoric sensations enabling a spiritual and sometimes physical transcendence beyond these mortal binds. The sort option is disrespectfully counterintuitive to the role music has always played in elevating our spiritual consciousness, and denigrates the very artists we depend on for this deliverance by reducing these feelings to a name or title and not some cosmic order we encountered as listeners in pursuit of Feeling Better.

separate your to do list into what does and doesn’t require a screen, and do those lists separately
means you aren’t constantly bouncing between a screen and the material world. Bonus points if your screenless list is completed without any music or podcasts or anything at all. You’re hiding your true power level by blocking all your thinking with consumption!!
posting a neoluddite rec on pifyi is basically reaction farming I’ve realised but I’m NOT that cynical I promise
