I miss the feeling of going to the shop to buy a cd of a new album by a band i liked not knowing what songs are there. I might have heard a single or two and that's it. The coming back home and listening to that album from beginning to an end. What an experience and a journey. Now i just listen to new albums on Spotify and it gives me zero emotions. Most of the times it just becomes background noise and i just don't even remember half of it. How do you listen to new music? Preorder a record or a CD? Still not nearly as much fun. @mightymoss @j4ck.eth FC music frens tell me about your rituals

Worth mentioning that i was born in late 80s and my teenage years were soundtracked by pirate cassettes and pirate CDs. We had no place to get proper original releases and the few that were available cost around 5% of my parents monthly salary.

I dig for records every week either at thrift stores or record shops near me. I still enjoy buying records from local bands and playing it through when I get home. It's fun to dig through dollar bins and pick up a few that have great covers, I've found some gems that way. I like to listen to DJ mixes on YouTube in different genres and find new music that way. I also still listen to our community powered radio station KEXP, they play a ton of new music every day. https://kexp.org/ I agree with your assessment of Spotify, I'm burnt out on using it as my main source for new music.

i’m a spotify hardo and my lens is my next gig or event. i like to use it as a forcing function to explore a genre and its history and then whats current, with curation at the core i was never really a physical crate digger but have started buying vinyl as i find it and gonna get a setup bandcamp is also popping w artists but i find the UX so atrocious i can’t even use it optimistic about subvert.fm i agree in the endless music era it’s hard. you just have to choose to care and keep interest i think
