I finally understand why Music people care about albums before coffee

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

I started this because my commute felt a little stuck, and playlists seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a trailhead. The second half changed how I felt about the beginning.

I had the same reaction to hidden.

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. I would test it for 10 days before deciding. I love when a recommendation comes with the right mood attached.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete.
