People react oddly to how I consume music. One reason is because I have no set playlists. Every single playlist I make is unique and ephemeral. I never save them. I also don’t use Spotify, which seems de rigeur now in people’s minds. I also don’t listen to albums (generally hate them) and rarely listen to much that is beyond 10 years old.

A friend wanted me to share my playlists with her and was incredulous when I said I didn’t have any. But I do not.

This works for me but as with many areas of life, I recognize that I am puzzlingly unusual.
