  • Love the Shaun Ryder article. Not at all surprised he’s ADHD, and that correlates with more alcohol/drug us, starting with self-medicating.

    I’ve always thought Soundhound worked much better than Shazam. Used to keep both on my phone just in case, but didn’t even bother installing Shazam on my latest device. Still, either still feels magical.
