I’m going to ignore the irony that the algorithm brought me here, and simply enjoy this gift. 😅
@SkateAnnoy-b1s
also sometimes i pick a record with a very cool looking cover and get lucky with whats on it surprisingly often
@ThomasPoulin
Being a music fan also mean listening to a ton of music you don't like at all and I feel like listening to stuff you don't like is genuinely important for knowing what you do like

Honestly, the YouTube algorithm is crazy trainable - I put the work in and you would not believe how often I'll get recommended some sub-1k views music video uploaded less than a couple of weeks ago that absolutely bangs, send it to a friend that I know will appreciate it and they always ask the same question; how the fuck did I find this? For years now I've been in the habit of scouring the Bandcamp daily releases and listening to NTS sets while I work; feeding the results of these labours into YouTube has exponentially increased the amount of cool new music I find.

i fucking hate spotify and it's algorithms. always getting the same songs to play. this is why i store the music i listen to locally. amazing video! subed
@user-vw3rl9lt6z
1. Listen to the song you really really like on youtube 2. Go to the comments 3. Click on peoples profiles and stalk their playlists There is a good chance (in my experience) that someone has a very similar music taste as you, and you will usually find some stuff that you like. I do this all the time.

Ironically the algorithm bless me with this new channel, great video

For the past couple of years, my filter has been this youtube channel awkwardly called stuntrockconfusion. The presentation is quite rough on the edges, but it is part of the charm. And as I struggle to find any surprising and sustainable recommandations - including amongst a lot of the ones you mentioned - he helps me find records both from hte past and the now that I would never have stumbled upon, with a lot of empathy. The range is just mindblowing, as he effortlessly jumps from dub to modern classical, industrial to traditional music, free jazz to house, indie to experimental. It's almost become sort of an untold private joke : where won't he go? But all this makes me agree with you, about the human factor, so crucial, and so rare in this day and age. Thank you.
@anMechSea
my suggestion is to go to local shows what I mean specifically is: find a small venue near you, pick one of the flyers that looks interesting, and go to the event it's advertising (try to bring cash for both the entry and merch)
@purple-flowers
So bandcamp let's you filter by specific cities, so you can pick a random city and scroll thru every single artist in a particular city. I find that it really helps me think about music as a local phenomenon, something that is a product of the community it comes out of. You find really good artists that way too. I found an Uruguayan screamo/post punk/Hatsune Miku vocaloid musician thats crazy good that way

Honestly, I get almost all my music recommendations from a music discord server without about a dozen active members. We do an album of the week as well & each person has their own pool they vote on. Having been there for a while & learning tastes, I know just who task for what recommendations. My point is that good old fashion conversations and building relationships with fellow music lovers (the people who really dive deep for albums) still is a fantastic way to get new music in your life.
@marrickvillian
I'm 50. All of this tracks. The Wire is great. Always has been. Support your local community radio stations if they still exist. Don't ever settle. Do it yourself.
@DelinquentDJ
its always fun to watch interviews of your fav artists then go down the rabbit hole of their inspirations then listening to those inspirations and hearing about their inspirations you get to find new artists plus hearing how your favorite sound has evolved over time, plus theres probably some random stuff thrown in there
@cherrysfunk
5 minutes into this video I saved 3 albums and opened 5 new tabs. Thank you for this, I sincerely hope it blows up and reaches a more mainstream audience. I would've loved to come across this video like 6 or 7 years ago when my main source of new music was whatever Spotify recommended to me at the time.
@MaxZeuner
Immediately saved this to my watch later bc of the DJ Shadow cover in the thumbnail
@randoH3000
The cheat code is mixes made by (A) College Radio Staff and (B) Your Favorite Artist. You get to hear the music before diving in and let things catch your ear, and you’ll never beat how tapped in a college kid is to any music scene, other than maybe an artist in the scene itself.
