The last few days I've been obsessed with a new discovery: everynoise.com.
From the description:
"Every Noise at Once is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 3,200 genres by Spotify as of 2019-06-24. The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.
Click anything to hear an example of what it sounds like.
Click the » on a genre to see a map of its artists.
Be calmly aware that this may periodically expand, contract or combust."

This just has me in a tizzy because there's so much music out there and it's so easy to hear snippets of music related to my favorite genres. And you can also discovery new artists of music you already know. In my case I discovered a whole world of children's music and also rominimal, which is a type of minimal techno specific to Romania / Bucharest's club scene. Apparently this music has been popular for 10 years now and just doesn't die. The sample on the page is here. Then I also found a nice article from 2017: https://www.electronicbeats.net/beyond-rominimal-guide/
In general it's just amazing how the site makes it incredibly easy to discover new music.

I went to the Neue Gallerie in NYC yesterday with a friend with insights to every painting, many of which were part of an exhibition of self-portraits by German artists such as Oskar Kokoschka, Max Bekkman, and more between about 1900 to 1940. Afterwards I learned that eating pizza with knife and fork is absolutely not done, anywhere, and that New Yorkers eat while walking, including on the train, like in Europe. I also learned that country music, with its clean language and simple themes has more appeal to Jews than I'd known of, especially now that there is such a thing as country pop and country rock, genres that have become more popular in the past ten years.
