• Do you take suggestions from your peers?
  • Do you search for songs in a specific genre? Specific artist?
  • Do you just choose a random mix instead?

What do you do to find music?

    No no, I think it’s a very vague quote/phrase. It probably also has to do with what platforms we use. Spotify is suggestion/playlist/radio centric, while Tidal doesn’t shove unsolicited suggestions down my throat - of course, if receiving further suggestions is your cup of tea, then you don’t have to phrase it negatively like I just did. Also, just to clarify, I’m not unhappy with the pace at which I discover music, since it gives me time to digest the purpose, message, intent and all other “metamusical” information surrounding each and every album. I read up on the artists, their personal lives, musical backgrounds and the stories behind the albums. I wouldn’t be able to do that if I was discovering music at a faster pace, me being really slow at reading and emotional processing. 😅

      Oh, I see better now. 😁 I get where you’re coming from. 👍

      Yeah, I’m more like “damn, this song slaps (in the moment)”, [follow artist]. Then I have to listen more to realize I don’t want to hear more. I kind of have to prove their guilt by listening more, so to speak. So now that there’s barely any more to discover for me, I need to start making some heads roll. 😆

          Oh yeah, I love music. There’s always some melody playing in my head.

          I play the guitar, used to play drums, I dabbled shortly in piano. All self-taught except the drums when I was little and took drum classes with a teacher. I recently was gifted my aunt’s clarinet that she says she hasn’t used since she was young, so I’m curious to open that case eventually. 😅

          What about you?
