On Yearly playlists and writing goals
The time has come for the
omnipresent Oracle/Algorithm to share its insights about what it has learned about me. Out of all the Algorithms™, the musically-oriented ones may be the least evil of the lot, or at least they seem relatively harmless to me (not that I'm an expert or anything).
So, today my friendly neighborhood
Spotify app told me that it had crunched the numbers on what I've heard this year (on its platform, I suspect there's more accurate data at
Last.fm). Before it fades away, I decided I would store it somewhere, but neither my regular Social Media nor my blog seem fit for that purpose. So, I'm leaving it here. Enjoy, Andycyca's 100 most listened songs of 2019. Comments are welcome.

While transcribing this list, I thought it would be a good idea to write about
why I like these songs so much, and/or what they represent to me. I'm not sure how I'll do it, but seems to me like a good writing challenge to start the new year. Maybe I'll cross-post it here, with the caveat that
De Que Callada Manera has already been fulfilled in a somewhat academic form.
