well 2 weeks might be a little too narrow to be honest as the track actual production date and its release date are 2 different things 
Doesnt matter though I understand what you are trying to achieve here. I had to switch away from Spotify to Apple Music becasue Ive noticed spotify completely removing songs from my list (not just making it unavailable) simply just removing entries (was years ago) and that was fucking insulting where it was caused by DB corruption or whatever, I dont know, but the fact that it was happening and I was lucky enough to notice my carefully currated lsits void of tracks (some lost forever) was not acceptable. Re new fresh tracks and generational thing, I think most kids mainly listen to garbage regardless just like our generation did and gen before us, thats why I avoid tediously sifting through new releases as masses are retarded and popular music is made for lowest common denominator so all the “hip” and popular tracks that get released are in the RAP genre that is the new POP music no different from Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys of our generation. Thats why Im not worried about not staying “cool” w the times. When a new track is good it does get to me somehow and I do enjoy listening to new stuff in those rare moments, and if you are willing to spend time searching out the gems Im all for it
yeah i noticed tracks going away as well, but it wasn’t a deal breaker for me because of precisely what i was talking about - my focus is discovering new tracks not holding on to old ones.
aside from that i originally started with Pandora, then tried Spotify, then switched back and forth between the two as Spotify was having issues of various sorts but now i’m pretty much settled on Spotify.
i don’t use Apple products out of principle. you say Spotify is insulting well to me Apple is insulting. not Apple Music but Apple itself. i don’t know anything about Apple music - it might be good - no idea.
i know the new apple ARM chips are good but to me an edge in performance isn’t worth dealing with a company that has their head up their ass. Apple and Tesla both make me ill. I straight up do not care what they come up with - i am not interested in ANYTHING they have to offer.
Mercedes also makes their cars for the lowest common denominator - doesn’t mean the cars aren’t good. The quality of the product is more a function of who designs it not who it is designed FOR.
Of course i still avoid mainstream music just like how i avoid mainstream everything but it is just my elitism and isn’t because mainstream is objectively bad. All those retarded Nigger monkey rappers have brilliant producers and recording engineers doing their records anyway.
As for searching out the gems that isn’t what i’m trying to do. I don’t care about individual tracks as much as just having the ear for the latest trends and sound. You know how 80s had its own sound and 90s had its own sound - to a Boomer those do not sound dated at all - instead the new stuff just sounds like noise. I want to make sure that NOTHING sounds like noise to me and everything that isn’t new sounds dated.
that’s my goal.
not discovering the hidden gems.
@OldFriendSaysHello has a point in that release date isn’t the same as when the track was produced …
the particular link here is just 1 day old, but there are videos of the same track performed LIVE going back more than half a year …
which is though why i said that really anything up to 1 year is recent, but this particular thread is meant to be extra recent …
the other recent stuff must be categorized by genre, artists and so on …
well nothing is set in stone! i am always looking for ways to simplify and streamline the mess i have created here …
Fred Again…, Skrillex, Four Tet - Baby again…
technically this is already a month old but i will put it here anyway:
