My girlfriend has found a lot of great music there as well over the past couple years. She doesn’t even search it out, really. She doom scrolls like normal but the culture of tik tik has a bent towards soundtracks and people seem to like to show off their cool music that way. Good call

It wasn’t enough when they resoundingly voted ‘No’ in a statewide referendum, R’s just do it by other means. Anything to hurt someone who isn’t a white conservative dude.

Signed up for it a few years back and really wanted to use it full time, but my work won’t allow me to use a MacBook so I’d have to separate work notes and personal notes which is too much of a hassle for me.

Life is a parody

Another question: what’s your strategy when approaching a new band that catches your attention?

Listen to most popular? Pick an album and ride?

I just had the though that picking from an artists 1st - 3rd album might be a good alternative to looking at whatever is most recent.

Doing it now! What’s the strategy for the initial recommendations it makes for artists? Are these the primary suggestions, or are they meant to dial in recommendations later? I’m not sure if I should be searching them or responding “I don’t know” when I’m not familiar with them.

Thanks for the TuneIn callout. For some reason I’ve never bothered with a radio app but this is pretty slick. I should probably RTFM but it looks like like you can tune in nationally/globally? I gotta figure out where the cool kids are enrolling these days.

Here we go again. I guess they’ve picked up the pieces after they cratered that mountain a couple years back.

Right, Discover has been my main vehicle for finding music for years. Spotify definitely does have a great algo for suggestions.

Reaction videos is actually a good call. I found Hi Ren last week that way, and while it isn’t really a casual listener, per se, I did think it was really compelling. My issue with the react videos generally is they feel ‘acted’ a lot of the time because YouTube loves to rabbit hole people into those. Good way to make a buck at the moment

I just went to get my 3.5 to usb c dongle and plug it into my iPhone. I hate that I’m so sucked into the ecosystem, but really excited about ditching my Lightning shit. 15 Pro is a step in the right direction (thanks EU) but I sorely wish Apple didn’t start the anti 3.5 revolution.
