# Good Art is Commonplace

Don't waste nuance on garbage. Use [RateYourMusic](https://rateyourmusic.com), [GoodReads](https://www.goodreads.com), [IMDB](https://www.imdb.com), and [Anilist](https://anilist.co) to skip flops.

Media mavens catalog and critique every form of art. Recommendation engines are excellent. Nobody needs to wade through waste involuntarily.

I rate [podcasts](/podcasts), [books](/books), and [music](/music) with the following scale:

|       |             |
| ----- | :---------- |
| ★★★★★ | Masterpiece |
| ★★★★☆ | Great       |
| ★★★☆☆ | Good        |
| ★★☆☆☆ | Fair        |
| ★☆☆☆☆ | Bad         |
| ☆☆☆☆☆ | Undecided   |
