And yes it is pretty shit, but it does sound like Ice T I can't, as I'd have to update my payment method to one that's issued in one of those countries, too...

Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted June 20, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted June 20, 2023 Working for a group of radio stations, that's mainly my way of discovering new music. We have a few stations which are all different genres so always something new to listen to for me. Aside from that, it's Spotify's Discover Weekly or whatever the girlfriend is playing when she's in the shower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma 1,766 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I have created numerous playlists in Spotify but the predictive AI seems to rehash the same stuff I've already heard a thousand times. Nowadays I tend to read articles and I've actually used this forum as a jumping off point for some new music, from the "What are you listening to?" to the individual genre threads. I've largely given up on finding new stuff that blows me away anymore. That phase was over 10+ years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you buy a prepaid debit card issued from the US with your current payment method, then change your payment method that way? Seems like a lot of effort though for something that is only sort of cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think I'm THAT curious about the new AI DJ feature, after all I guess I'll just wait until it becomes available worldwide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey 1,192 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I'm on Spotify 24/7, literally. Couldn't live without it. So yeah, I'll have stuff on shuffle and like songs that appeal to me. I'll sleep with music too and I'll wake up if there's a song I like (which I'll add as a favourite). Obviously the office radio is handy too.

Honestly, I went through a stage during school/college that I found it almost impossible to sleep without music. I'd have my iPod permanently on . Showing my age mentioning an iPod - Jesus wept.

Spike 5,107 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Speaking of new music @Dr. Gonzoyou might like the new King Gizzard album, PetroDraconic Apocalypse. It’s very thrash crossover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted 1,776 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Another way I forgot to mention: memes. I saw this tweet from a "People Dancing to Stravinsky" account like a year ago, and thought the music sounded really cool. Listened through the most famous Stravinsky pieces until I found it, ended up liking a lot of it. Who would've thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma 1,766 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Just read an article yesterday about Butthole Surfers' drummer Teresa Nervosa dying of end stage lung disease at 60. Hadn't heard any BS in years so there you go... turned it on Spotify and found several tracks that are pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bummer to find a "new" band and then realize that they've already hung it up just when you were craving more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
