When you see an automated music recommendation do you assume that some stupid computer program was trying to trick you into something? It’s often what it feels like – with what little context you get with a suggestion on top of the postmodern insanity of a computer understanding how should you feel about music – and of course sometimes you actually are being tricked.

I’m not a big fan of TV, but I’m a big fan of Laura’s cousin Jon Alpert. He has been recognized a lot for what he does, but it was still pretty cool to hear him and Keiko on NPR. They are incredible people doing good things for the world through education and documentary.
