Nts.live Internet Radio made by music nerds and I love it
I buy music on bandcamp. I check out other suggested artists from the music I’ve bought on bandcamp. I check out bandcamp dailys. I read a couple of music blogs. I look into artists who are touring with artists I already like. I look into the record labels of artists I like. That sort of stuff.
Year-end best of lists. Allmusic, pitchfork, and whatever other sites come out with best of year rankings.
College radio
Honestly I mostly pull from the soundtracks in whatever I watch. Also Eurovision.
checking out random stuff I see on Rate Your Music or going to shows at small local venues.
Spotify radio mode
I just listen to a lot of Triple J
Oh, since it’s on topic, can you fellow lemmings recommend some music for me?
Lofi deep house I enjoy at the moment: https://open.spotify.com/album/4LLeWRsOXmo4KKAOINqYUs?si=2Esq5v13SPKiwowhuwHnmw
I quaff the grape’s nectar and doth play diverse melodies from Spotify until I chance upon a tune that pleases me.
Ha-har! If vibrant new melody be what ye seek, then music.youtube puts hair on yer cheek
Ye bastard!
I don’t think I ever found music. the music tended to find me.
That’s really it. I don’t really seek out new music, as much as I happen to stumble upon it. My music library is intense and what I listen to changes frequently.
It chases you down a dark alleyway and has its way with you? That’s dark, man.
Its just you hear it on the radio or when your at someplace or whatnot. happenstance. My condo had painters and I asked a guy what song he was playing when I walked by.
Currently working my way through 1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die with some friends using this website: https://1001albumsgenerator.com
Started using it today, it recommended Green Onions. Very nice album and I likely wouldn’t have listened to it otherwise.
Oh wow, nice share
I started a Facebook group called New Music Only. Nothing older than a fortnight is allowed. It allows others to share brand new music they haye found and it forced me to go to YouTube and start hunting for recently uploaded music so I can supply material for the group.
Bandcamp and Sputnik Music have been doing so since I was in school over a decade ago.
There’s been a decent amount of activity at !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works and the music is always all over the place. Popular music, obscure music, non American music, pretty much everything depending on the day.
I browse and occasionally contribute as you know but I really think the community would benefit from some organisation in the form of post title rules over there.
Having a standardised “artist - track title” format or even “artist - track title (genre)” seen as it is such a varied selection over there would really make the browsing experience a lot better than a massive list of just song names in my opinion.
I was going to make a post on the community about this but seen as I see you here I thought I’d just make the suggestion directly to you. I think it would be a positive thing for the community going forward :)
There’s definitely merit in what you’re saying but I’m also fine with it staying how it is.
The idea is that it should be easy to share what you have on, but we’re all using different services. IMO the easiest thing is using Lemmy’s title filling feature which is the song name by default with Spotify links. I believe the other services like YouTube and tidal work similarly.
Many of the posts in that community are made by members while they are working, which also makes me hesitant to enforce title rules on them. Quick and easy posts are easy to blast out when all you have is a second or two. Maybe in time as it becomes more than just a handful of people posting it should be revisited.
FWIW I’m ok with the communities I create never becoming popular on Lemmy. Most are created for a small group of friends to mess around on where other services don’t fit the bill. I’d much rather have fun posting when the mood strikes than worry about fitting a particular posting guideline. If like-minded people happen to join in, awesome. If not, we were having fun before and we’ll continue to have fun without them!
Yeh fair enough, just thought I’d give some feedback from my perspective, I appreciate not everyone uses it in the same way.
Either way I’ll carry on posting occasionally :D
Constructive criticism or meaningful suggestions should be welcomed imo, and when opinions differ reactions like yours are some of the best. I appreciate that you aren’t hellbent on everyone fitting in the same box! Seriously, thank you for the civil interactions!
Footnote- I typed out a long-winded post about fediverse philosophy and decided this isn’t the place for it. Maybe in another thread.
Just contributed myself, and subbed. Always looking for a good jam after a good smoke.
Always nice to have more music in the rotation, thanks for posting!
Nice
