It's not just you! Fellow PI.FYIer sabrinamovitz just wrote about this phenomenon in her latest newsletter. It's a good read, and she's throwing in some deep cuts to explore in playlist form too.

Another newsletter rec today… ArtStuff popped on my radar last week and I’ve found it to be great content as I kick around through the archive. It’s a pretty basic format of interviews with semi low key artists, but the interviews are great and have led to me discovering a bunch of cool things / people. Check out the soho house curator one and the Leonard Baby one for a taste.

fav substack I’m subscribed too!! a monthly newsletter focused on a more mindful connection to music, highlighting albums in their entirety.
(mb I’m biased bc it’s written by my gf but hear me out…)
always great writing, huge genre range, and i always find a couple new artists I have yet to delve deep with.
I’ve fallen victim to mindlessly consuming my Spotify algorithm which means I’m pretty disconnected with most artists and albums. Music Baby gets me excited to dive into a full album & check out musicians in their entirety!

it's fun, it's interesting, it's exploratory, I've done it for a very long time and am better at it than most (esp. that Pissed Jeans guy)

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones ☺️
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
