Thursday’s Music Brief: Questioning The Charts, Paste Saved, Ryko Cuts & More
I'm curious if you like also having the links to new features on Hypebot in this daily post, as I did yesterday? Or do you just find them in your RSS or by scrolling through the blog anyway?

I always scroll past the features since they are in my RSS reader anyway. Thanks for asking!
i second christopher’s point. i typically use this page to get caught up on the most important writeups outside of hypebot. thanks as always bruce!
I’d say lose the links to the Hypebot posts, keep the summary of the posts that you usually do, and keep this focused on outside content.
