college/ SMALL-TOWN radio

there’s not much that’ll make you feel like a person existing with your own thoughts and feelings until you start tuning into community radio stations, where the biggest sponsor is the local animal shelter.
they’re doing some of the most fun stuff over there, because radio is whatever they want it to be! and it’s such a fun way to get cool music recommendations. On college radio stations especially, there are often communist programs and book clubs, which we love. But check out your local radio’s website and see what’s up n coming.
Just, great stuff all around. Something about scheduled programs or DJ sets that you look forward to listening heals the body I think. Slower gratification, something or another.
And you don’t need to be in the car to tune in, there are tons of radio apps available to supplement your spotify time.

local radio!!!

local/college radio is the absolute best way to find new music, especially when they are non-commercial and have a lot of freedom with what they play. sometimes you need to look past some bad picks but that’s part of the fun. also!! when u get into a habit of tuning in routinely you hear the same DJs frequently and get to know them and it’s so cute. AND local radio stations often run events and you can get involved and meet your favourite DJs and all of a sudden it’s not just discovering new music it’s a community!!! long live college radio!!

college radio

used to have so much more influence on the music industry than it does now. kind of sad that it's no longer so democratised, and what's popular is usually dictated by big boring execs and algorithms.
if you don't want to harass your friends anymore for music recs, and maybe even get out of the bubble of your peer group - find your local college station and tune in. it's always young people passionate about a popular niche. it's always interesting to have to listen to something live, and to sit through songs you might not like, unable to skip them.
if anyone has any good recommendations for their local/college radio stations I'd be so so down to listen! i've got a show every thursday 6pm BST i'm gonna link when it's live to put you bitches on

Dvds at op shops!

I love to look at all the dvds at any little second hand store i can find. i almost always find gems to add to my collection, and they are like never more than $2! Plus I really enjoy physically owning the movies I love.

No trailers!!

I don’t actively watch trailers. Movie trailers feel like they tell you the entire movie in 3 minutes and make me not want to watch it. I don’t want to see all the coolest scenes with all the best jokes before I’ve watched the movie!
I always read a short synopsis or summary if I’m interested, or look at what other people have said in reviews.
OR GO IN BLIND! YOU MIGHT FIND A NEW FAVOURITE YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE WATCHED!!!
