Brad Kyle, a sort of de facto mayor of music Substack (in my book), has people on his ‘Stack for Tune Tag, [where] the songs in any given Tune Tag are obviously something that never could have been generated any other way: No algorithm, no Apple Playlist Pro, nope. Just that particular Tune Tag!
Tune Tag: Those two songs mean a lot to me. I don’t think I realized so much so until I did this with you and actually wrote about them for the first time!
So much about the Beatles has been written, and you managed to make us feel like we were just there as they were doing their magic! So aptly titled, Front Row and Backstage!
Brad Kyle has a dizzying range of musical interests, many of which I don’t share, some of which we’re on the same vibe. That’s what makes FR&B so fascinating, as we’ve worked in the same part of journalism for decades, different strokes, you know, for different folks!
