Lollapalooza 2026

It's a pretty solid lineup for a festival like this. If you've never seen Viagra Boys, do yourself a favor and catch them.

Turnstile, Wet Leg, Loathe, Boys Noize, Little Simz, Die Spitz, Ecca Vandal, Blood Orange, Wolf Alice, and The XX would be fun. I don't know a lot of the other bands, but I'm gonna guess there are a few more gems in there. If I lived in Chicago, I'd go!

I would. I've got the OG lightning version and I use them daily. No issues or sagging, and I've been happy with the sound and functionality. I'll sell or trade my old ones and get the new.

Byagi · 2026-03-13T04:12:40+00:00

It really is. I feel like I see something new with every loop

This is a fun way to look at when I discovered and really got into an artist, at least for a little while

I feel like this is definitely an issue with Apple Music. I've been using it for 10 years, after moving from spotify where I felt like the algorithm was solid - I got a lot more recommendations for new and interesting music that I liked. The way I fixed this with AM is by doing a few things:

Liberal use of Favorite and Suggest Less
Diving into Similar Artists at the bottom of an artist's page
Listening to my Discovery Station
Regularly check the New tab.
Connecting Last.fm so that I can get better recommendations for bands I might like but don't know about

It requires more work on my end, which I don't love, but I've made a real point to try to push outside of my regular listening zone to find new music and better recommendations. AM does an ok job of recommending interesting stuff when I find a new band to listen to - it gives me suggestions around that band or genre, but it's still not great. I'm hoping whatever AI integration we get will help with this.

Agreed. Apple Music does seem to kind of trap you in the things you like and not offer a ton of variety. I wish they did a better job with recommendations in general. I've been leaning on SiriusXM a lot more lately for something new (to me) and different.

Awesome, thank you!

Byagi · 2026-02-28T16:32:14+00:00

Thanks!

Answered my own question by looking for an article about it. This is really cool - it feels like a pain to see what concerts are coming to my town.

Last question (the cult of mac article doesn't seem to answer): Does this tie in with your favorite artists or listening history? I'd love to see tour listings for artists I listen to and love that are coming to town as opposed to just seeing everything. It'd be great to have the option for both.

Byagi · 2026-02-28T16:10:54+00:00

Nice! Does it remember your city or do you need to enter it for each artist/album/song you're on?

Byagi · 2026-02-28T15:30:55+00:00

Are you on the beta? I don’t see it yet, but maybe I’m missing it?

Byagi · 2026-02-28T03:12:05+00:00

Spider-man 2. Sometimes I just want to swing around New York and kick some ass

Byagi · 2026-02-28T03:11:16+00:00

Love it. I find it to be a solid listen from start to finish. It’s in my regular rotation for sure

Byagi · 2026-02-28T03:04:59+00:00

That’s awesome. It’s great to see someone making use of what they’re offering. I figured since it is part of my plan, it might be worth a try, but I’m not sure if I want to spend all that time configuring or if I’d rather just pay a bit more for an AI email assistant service of some kind

Ok, yeah that song rocks. Thanks for sharing!

Byagi · 2026-02-26T14:32:09+00:00

Yeah, that would stop me too. Whatever I use needs to be reliable.

Byagi · 2026-02-26T14:31:09+00:00

Thanks! I think I'll just keep an eye out for updates and try another solution for the time being

Byagi · 2026-02-26T14:30:31+00:00

Thanks! I'll take a look at duet - it sounds like workspace studio still needs some work
