Please revert to the previous format!
Just listened to the latest New Music Friday podcast from NPR’s All Songs Considered. Almost an hour long, and covered only 5 new releases…with probably less than two minutes in total of actual music played (with some of that playing under the commentary). The show seems to have shifted from introducing a wide range and variety of newly released music (and giving listeners a chance to hear enough to pique our interest) to focusing on music critics and why (or whether) music criticism is still a relevant form of cultural commentary. Relax, guys! You know your stuff and don’t need to preen and flex and beg for the audience’s attention. Just share some music you love or find interesting and spare us the endless analyses explaining why it’s significant. Please, please, please either revert back to the earlier, pre-2024 format or rename the podcast “New Music Criticism Friday”!

I've discovered more new music through this podcast than I could name. While not every artist featured is my cup of tea, it really does introduce me to many new things I wouldn't necessarily find out about otherwise. If you're a music junkiek, than this podcast is for you.Read full review »
