Awful.
At the moment? Watching Anime. A few years ago? Watch music videos of songs I already know on youtube and see what the algorithm spits out.
Yoasobi slaps.
I subscribe to the digital stream of radio stations through my podcast app. WFUV out of New York City, WXRV out of I don't know where, some random station out of Sydney, Australia I stumbled on that has an EDM DJ on at the same time I'm waking up on the weekends.
I also have Spotify, but I tend to get better recommendations from real human DJs at radio stations.
Bandcamp Features
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.
College radio
KEXP baby!!
I listen to the playlists Apple Music makes me each week. Discovered tons of stuff
checking out random stuff I see on Rate Your Music or going to shows at small local venues.
Nts.live Internet Radio made by music nerds and I love it
College radio
I watch a new anime and the op/ed is a banger
Mostly through movies/tv shows or sometimes NPR Tiny Desk
Youtube nprs tiny desk concert. Got so many banger musicians and GREAT music.
Through my Apple Music βNew Musicβ weekly playlist before I canceled my subscription. It does a good job so long as you actively love and dislike tracks.
Now I have a local library that syncs with last.fm for every play and you can discover new music and artists through there.
Iβm no longer on it but instagram was actually a great way to discover new artists. Seems that meta will be a significant player in the music industry (major UMG deal) soon as well so who knows whatβs coming there.
Theuppermostinlife curates a bunch of music they like, and I share some of their taste so that's where I get a bunch of new stuff from.
I let YouTube's algorithm make me discover bands then listen to their albums
I just listen to a lot of Triple J
Community radio, my kids (and they find music through me too), YouTube music recommendations, opening bands at concerts, and sometimes NPR.
A friend recommended pitchfork yesterday to me. Haven't gotten around to it though
Formerly through TikTok and YouTube, but now only SoundCloud (especially through Daily drops) and Bandcamp.
Bandcamp follows and whatever is playing on CBC music.
I used to use r/listentothis, haven't in a long time though, not even out of "fuck you reddit" just busy I think.
