<\/p>\nFacebook hit me with this suggested post the other day:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I recognized the album, as I bought it in 2021<\/a>, and since it’s on the Internet, I assume the AIlgorithms know it.<\/p>\n But Facebook feeds me a diet of hockey players, 80s and 90s nostalgia, and jazz musicians, the last probably because I follow KCSM and WSIE and Herb Alpert on the radio. So it was inevitable that I’d get a record that I own sometime. I’m a little surprised that I haven’t gotten more given how I acquire randomish easy listening and smooth jazz on vinyl.<\/p>\n Speaking of that trip to the library book sale in 2021, I also picked up Najee’s Najee’s Theme<\/em>, his debut album, that trip, and I just spun that record earlier in the week, mentioning that I liked it an he might be a one-hit wonder.<\/p>\n He is not, and neither is Al di Meola<\/a>. They’ve both been active for decades, but I guess I’m not that aware of them because the jazz radio stations I listen to do not play a lot of their work. So I keep thinking I’ve discovered something obscure, but it’s really just that I’ve found something new to me.<\/p>\n Perhaps I should watch out for more records by these artists and research them a little deeper when I buy their records. But given that I buy those dollar (or fifty cent) records sometimes sixty at a time, I don’t get to look that closely at each one when I make the Good Album Hunting posts. And when I am listening to records, I am not at the computer.<\/p>\n But what I should really do is use the warming weather to build some new record shelves.<\/p>\n P.S. That’s not a typo beneath the photo. I thought I might portmanteau AI and algorithm in a feat of cleverness, but it looks like a typo. Also I see that it’s already been coined and claimed for a tech company. So let us never speak of it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Facebook hit me with this suggested post the other day: I recognized the album, as I bought it in 2021, and since it’s on the Internet, I assume the AIlgorithms know it.
