Why I Listened to 2,000 Minutes of Tchaikovsky Last YearWe are living in the age of "frictionless" music. The algorithms know what we want before we do, the dopamine is cheap, and the content is served to us on a silver platter. But as Charles Bukowski once said of classical music: "It washes the crap right out of me."Lately, it feels like there's a lot of crap to wash out.In this episode, I'm stepping away from the "business" of music to talk about the Aura and the Sublime. I'm breaking down why I spent more time with a 19th-century Russian composer than anyone in the Top 40, and why I believe the "smoothness" of modern digital life is actually making us bored, exhausted, and artistically numb.In this episode, we explore:The "Loss of Aura": Why music feels less valuable when it stops being a "hunt" and starts hunting you.The Sublime vs. The User-Friendly: Lessons from Walter Benjamin and Theodore Adorno on why great art should be a little bit terrifying.The Tchaikovsky Antidote: How complex, uncomfortable, and "loud" art reminds us that we aren't the center of the universe.Breaking the Algorithm: Why the most successful artists of the future will be the ones who refuse to be "mathematically certain."If you've been feeling a specific kind of creative exhaustion lately, this one is for you. It's time to stop trying to conquer the mountain and let the mountain conquer us.RESOURCES & LINKS

The music industry is panicking about AI in 2025, and I get it. But before we spiral, let's look at history. In this episode, I break down the "Quartz Crisis" of the 1970s—when Swiss watchmakers faced extinction from cheaper, more accurate Japanese technology—and how they not only survived but thrived by doubling down on craft and human artistry.The parallels to Nashville's songwriting community are striking. AI can churn out background music and sync tracks, but it can't replicate the human stories, the cultural legacy, or the one-of-one artistry that makes music matter.In this episode:• The Swiss watch industry's comeback strategy and what songwriters can learn from it• Why derivative music is most at risk (and how to avoid making it)• The case for treating music like treasure, not content• 3 things new artists should focus on to AI-proof their careersIf you're a songwriter, artist, or just someone who cares about the future of music, this one's for you.
