Toxic @toxic.sf.ca.us · 28/09/2026There's an (algorithmic) playlist on Spotify called "Country Frequency" that is quite good. It's Country by Black artists, which is something that offends a lot of music directors at country stations. 90% of the tracks on it are better than "Choosin' Texas", and you haven't heard them either. 110
Toxic @toxic.sf.ca.us · 28/09/2026Funny thing. I do listen to country (though usually the "Americana" filtered version of it), including on the radio (hello KPIG!) I'd never heard the song either. I listened to it, was unimpressed, and I guess I'm glad that the music directors around here were similarly unimpressed. 000
