Merits of the box aside, this seems like a totally reasonable way of exploring new music to me. If anything, I’d be more concerned with Spotify pigeonholing music tastes and reinforcing established preferences — the whole “You listened to Radiohead? Here are 12 more artists that sound almost exactly like them” kinda thing. If someone wants to explore different styles of music, that’s a good thing as far as I’m concerned, regardless of how they go about it.
Thank you. Agreed on all counts.
I dont care how people discover new music, as long as they do discover new music. Theres so much good stuff out there, its impossible to get into everything. Ive been a been a big music fan all my life and of course I know who the grateful dead is, I just never got into them for multiple reasons. This seems like a great setup for it.
But I also realize Im in a fortunate position financially. I dont really know if its the best strategy to make a set meant for people trying to get into the grateful dead and price it at $400+ and then make 7500 of them.
