This week, I heard the following track from a band called Le Volume Courbe a London band that I’ve never heard of. The album is from 2015 and I love this track. Haven’t explored further yet.
Apologies if a similar thread already exists - I couldn’t see one.
I actually recognised this - I checked my last.fm history, seems I listened to it twice in January but don’t recognise the band name so must have also been on my Discover Weekly. Either we have similar enough tastes that this was punted to both of us or perhaps everybody gets the same stuff and I just imagine it to be well-tailored!
Yes, I’ve wondered how generic these are as a friend and I often have quite similar recommendations. But then we both like similar music so it is only logical that the algorithm throws out similar recommendations.
I’m generally quite impressed with what it recommends much of which I’ve never heard. I’d say about 70-80% I like and of that around half I really like.
