@pho4cexa @jamey my time within broadcast range of KPIG did a lot to thaw my attitude to "country" music It's hard to disentangle how the continuum of music culture forms clumps and clusters organically, versus the synthetic categories meant to further reach of the machine Like, is R.E.M. "country"? In terms of industry categories, no. But in terms of influences, origin, instrumentation, themes? A lot if their stuff fits. Just as one example.
