FIP

Radio France, FIP, has been my go to since I downloaded 🦢 having fun with it! The app/website has different stations based on genre so you can get a little bit of everything. I really like “FIP Sacré France” for French classics. Also the voice track/host’s voice is 💋💫🩰🤩

FIP is truly the best radio station in the world. I'll keep spotify for a while, but most of my music experience is now fip.

WFMU

Free form radio station based out of NJ, you can listen online and on the app, they have archives of shows dating way back and even have a feature on the app where you can ask it to pick a random archived show for you. My fav shows rn are Pseu's Thing With A Hook, Ken's Show, Wake with Clay Pigeon, Morricone Island [Soundtrack Music show, so awesome], Surface Noise with Joe McGasko, and This Is The Modern World with Trouble and also Daniel Blumin..... but honestly you just gotta put it on all day and see where it takes you!! I find almost all of my music there these days and have been surprised by how my taste has expanded. The DJs have really deep knowledge of what they're talking about and it just feels very organic. Also Sophisticated Boom Boom with Sheila B and Gaylord Fields' show are incredible they're just not currently on the air but you can access the archives :)

Look at your fave artists earliest work

Or better yet their sketchbooks if they’re available to the public. The early days tell better, accurate stories that include being shite for a time. Take this photobook from William Eggleston, it looks like someone’s A-level photography portfolio and yet this man became an ICON. Genius is a load of bs. Your faves practiced everyday.  Side note: go to your fave artists cv, scroll down to the first major thing and research.

Preventing lost media

I’ve had this youtube playlist for ages that I call my “internet archive” and it’s full of videos that I find interesting but also feel are culturally significant. They’re mostly live performances with a mix of odd ball clips that I liked but also really special stuff I think won‘t be there forever. Here is a list of my favourites 1. Camcorder footage of two guys driving around london in the late 90s while listening to the radio 2. RuPaul before he was the Queen of Drag, hanging round a corner shop in New York 3. A documentary filmmaker documenting various African American accents and dialects across the states. 4. A short doc called “Dirty Girls” about a group of teenager grunge girlies who are reacting to the news of Kurt Cobain’s death and discussing how they all stopped washing their hair to honour him hence the title. 5. Marsha P Johnson reading her poem “You gotta have soul” Anyway, this is me recommending to you to begin saving videos that intrigue you because contrary to popular belief the internet isn’t actually forever.

A good case for clearing your camera roll every 6 months during your healing era

You won’t see photos of all the cast members that got the cut. Side note: imagining your life as a tv series is a great coping mechanism.
