Welcome to 2024, friends! If this is your first time rocking with me, What's Good is a weekly new music blog that serves as the spiritual successor to my college radio show. Every week, I share music videos and links to great new tunes, along with a bit of music writing or features from around the web.
If you wanna catch up with everything I've done so far, peep the #what's good tag for the full archives, or you can check out my Year In Review that went up last week.
Let's get into this year though, starting with some Bonus Beats. Those are the aforementioned features from around the web. Then I'll give you the music in video form, with playlists down at the bottom. Let's go.
Bonus Beats
In honor of Amp Fiddler's passing, Jaap van der Doelen shared an interview with Amp and Will Sessions from 2017, liberated from Mass Appeal's defunct editorial site.
Low End Activist linked up with the Kenopsia Project to play a set in an abandoned factory in Seville, Andalucía.
