Selection and Juxtapostion

Selection and Juxtapostion

Playlists | Teju Cole

I have been making playlists for a long time, and mixtapes before that — for about thirty years all told, I reckon. I’m fascinated by selection and juxtaposition. In early 2016 I signed up for a Spotify account. It’s a limited platform, and a problematic one. But it is also where people gather, and it has been a productive place to imagine and be with a community of listeners.
