I buy music on bandcamp. I check out other suggested artists from the music I’ve bought on bandcamp. I check out bandcamp dailys. I read a couple of music blogs. I look into artists who are touring with artists I already like. I look into the record labels of artists I like. That sort of stuff.
I’m mainly interested in old time fiddle tunes. I get them from youtube recommends sometimes, or from going to jams and hearing a cool tune, or someone I play with wants to learn a tune. I often post tunes I like on my old-time music lemmy community.
More 70s but also rock/folk fusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZLEgYExfzg
Year-end best of lists. Allmusic, pitchfork, and whatever other sites come out with best of year rankings.
I don’t think I ever found music. the music tended to find me.
It chases you down a dark alleyway and has its way with you? That’s dark, man.
Its just you hear it on the radio or when your at someplace or whatnot. happenstance. My condo had painters and I asked a guy what song he was playing when I walked by.
That’s really it. I don’t really seek out new music, as much as I happen to stumble upon it. My music library is intense and what I listen to changes frequently.

Currently working my way through 1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die with some friends using this website: https://1001albumsgenerator.com
Oh wow, nice share
Started using it today, it recommended Green Onions. Very nice album and I likely wouldn’t have listened to it otherwise.
I’m 57 and I mostly don’t. I have built up a large collection of favourite bands and songs and tend to just stick to them.
Do you mentally criticise yourself for being boring?
Not really. I like quite a wide range of stuff, so I don’t get bored with it.
I quaff the grape’s nectar and doth play diverse melodies from Spotify until I chance upon a tune that pleases me.
Ye bastard!
Ha-har! If vibrant new melody be what ye seek, then music.youtube puts hair on yer cheek
How cleverly you have made meter and rhyme
Oh, since it’s on topic, can you fellow lemmings recommend some music for me?
Lofi deep house I enjoy at the moment: https://open.spotify.com/album/4LLeWRsOXmo4KKAOINqYUs?si=2Esq5v13SPKiwowhuwHnmw
La Femme - Paradigmes
Nice! It’s time to wake up 2023 is one of my fav tracks.
A friend recommended pitchfork yesterday to me. Haven’t gotten around to it though
youtube shuffle works great, its truly random, give it a try.
Awful.
I started a Facebook group called New Music Only. Nothing older than a fortnight is allowed. It allows others to share brand new music they haye found and it forced me to go to YouTube and start hunting for recently uploaded music so I can supply material for the group.
