Listening to the music people post

When I’m mindlessly skimming through IG I will screenshot any story that has music in it, and then two or three times a week I will make a giant playlist of all the music people posted and listen through. Most of it is stuff I have heard before or stuff that is no good, but I get a lot of interesting music from this! Mostly I do it because the people I follow are randos I never met or met once, and this helps me feel closer to these strangers I’ve basically been collecting. An average week is a little over 10 hours of music.

artist playlists on spotify

when you go onto an artist profile and scroll down a bit, some people/bands post a playlist or two of music that inspires them. it is so cool to hear what your favorites listen to. i have found some seriously good stuff by putting them on shuffle.

Today's queue

this is my favorite way of discovering music: go into your spotify followers/following, find a cool person/someone from your past, go into their followers, find a cooler person, peruse their playlists, add anything that looks cool to your queue -- rinse and repeat ad infinitum. i tend to go down a rabbit hole when i do this which means i never get through the whole queue so i add all those songs to a massive playlist called "today's queue" that i put on when i need to expand my taste. i just add the whole thing so it's a nice mix of new and old that makes the combing-through experience very fun. as i listen to the songs i release them from today's queue and add them to my liked songs or discard them into the digital void.

On The Silver globe

for another niche scifi story, A for andromeda, with a surprisingly depressing ending. Do yourself a favor and read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia before watching this thing you’ll have a better time trust me. It Really ahead of it's time cinematically .
