When I find out about an artist that I really like, I feel the urge to find all their music, which isn't hard with today's technology, and to also discover who they are as a person divorced from their music. There's the type of listening that involves hearing a song once or twice, and claiming to like the music, and the type that involve wanting more from the artist you heard; a desire to incorporate all of their work into your personal music library and dig deep into their past. It's like we collect all of this info so that we can truly feel like we know the artist and say that we are a fan.]]> 2017-10-27 00:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/9gwzbl6syt37/wish/201055544 mattmercier97 https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/9gwzbl6syt37/wish/201059112 Lil Wayne is a perfect example that's included in Ratliff's playlist. Once you hear one song, you want to hear more. I definitely went through a Lil Wayne phase in middle school. He has such a large body of work, and each album has a slightly different style, that to truly understand and know Lil Wayne, all of it must be heard to get a more well-rounded experience from his music. As a listener, you're on Lil Wayne's journey of trying out different styles with him. ]]> 2017-10-27 00:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/9gwzbl6syt37/wish/201059112 mattmercier97 https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/9gwzbl6syt37/wish/201059326 Archy Marshall is actually the real name of British indie rock artist King Krule. This example, from outside of Ratliff's playlist, demonstrates his point perfectly. In an effort to know about King Krule in his entirety, I was led on a hunt for all his music, which led me to the side project under his real name. This album contains more hip-hop and ambient music than his regular indie music.]]> 2017-10-27 00:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/9gwzbl6syt37/wish/201059326
