i cannot tell you how much i feel the pain of not being able to commit to a regular schedule! i refuse to publish monthly best-of lists for much the same reason.

The pressure is so real! I admire people who can and I would love to be one of them, but it's just not sustainable for me 🥲

I love this idea of sharing artists with under 30k monthly listeners. Just because artists have a high number doesn’t mean they’re popular (could all be just playlisting) or any good. And just because they have a low number doesn’t mean they’re unknown and bad. But the industry thinks so, so they rarely get any attention. This is a really good thing. Keep going! 👏🏻

Thank you so much, Zach! It’s really an outdated notion to think streaming numbers have anything to do with the quality of the music. There are so many talented artists out there who deserve to be seen and heard.

So true. If I may suggest an artist for you to check out: Timothy Zieger. My favorite songwriter. I got to be part of his second album, Now To Recall, but both that one and his first one are some of the best songwriting I’ve ever heard. Here’s his Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5qMne3ssfqRtxD3DXsHKry?si=JsF-40bBQymzR5VoLKf1SQ

Thanks for sharing!! Do you know if I can find his lyrics online? I always love to read the text while listening to the music. His website doesn't seem to work unfortunately ...
