I really don’t care how Kanye does anything.
Different pronunciation. Kanye’s ye is “yay” while the plural second person pronoun “ye” is pronounce like “Yee”
I don’t know wwhat that means
Typo in your title. Kanye is known as “Ye”.
Edit: maybe not typo
Are you Irish? Those are the only people I’ve heard use “ye” for the plural “you”. Which is a shame, because it has a nice ring to it. Ye and Y’all are like yin and yang
It’s a joke, he changed his name to Ye
I follow a bunch of hash tags on Mastodon.
Anymore it’s either through yt recommendations or sometimes I’ll see other people recommending songs and decide to look them up.
I used to use r/listentothis, haven’t in a long time though, not even out of “fuck you reddit” just busy I think.
At the moment? Watching Anime. A few years ago? Watch music videos of songs I already know on youtube and see what the algorithm spits out.
Yoasobi slaps.
A simple combination of Spotify, searching for recommendations, as in “artists similar to _____,” checking out AllMusic for a brief overview and maybe which album to start with.
Listenbrainz has decent recommendations
Is it a Last.fm replacement?
Very cool. Kind of like how Pandora used to be when it first started.
This thread is throwing up gold
There’s been a decent amount of activity at !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works and the music is always all over the place. Popular music, obscure music, non American music, pretty much everything depending on the day.
Nice
Just contributed myself, and subbed. Always looking for a good jam after a good smoke.
Always nice to have more music in the rotation, thanks for posting!
I browse and occasionally contribute as you know but I really think the community would benefit from some organisation in the form of post title rules over there.
Having a standardised “artist - track title” format or even “artist - track title (genre)” seen as it is such a varied selection over there would really make the browsing experience a lot better than a massive list of just song names in my opinion.
I was going to make a post on the community about this but seen as I see you here I thought I’d just make the suggestion directly to you. I think it would be a positive thing for the community going forward :)
There’s definitely merit in what you’re saying but I’m also fine with it staying how it is.
The idea is that it should be easy to share what you have on, but we’re all using different services. IMO the easiest thing is using Lemmy’s title filling feature which is the song name by default with Spotify links. I believe the other services like YouTube and tidal work similarly.
Many of the posts in that community are made by members while they are working, which also makes me hesitant to enforce title rules on them. Quick and easy posts are easy to blast out when all you have is a second or two. Maybe in time as it becomes more than just a handful of people posting it should be revisited.
FWIW I’m ok with the communities I create never becoming popular on Lemmy. Most are created for a small group of friends to mess around on where other services don’t fit the bill. I’d much rather have fun posting when the mood strikes than worry about fitting a particular posting guideline. If like-minded people happen to join in, awesome. If not, we were having fun before and we’ll continue to have fun without them!
Yeh fair enough, just thought I’d give some feedback from my perspective, I appreciate not everyone uses it in the same way.
Either way I’ll carry on posting occasionally :D
Constructive criticism or meaningful suggestions should be welcomed imo, and when opinions differ reactions like yours are some of the best. I appreciate that you aren’t hellbent on everyone fitting in the same box! Seriously, thank you for the civil interactions!
Footnote- I typed out a long-winded post about fediverse philosophy and decided this isn’t the place for it. Maybe in another thread.
Sorry, but Spotify Discover Weekly of course.
And I also always have Shazam ready to go for when out and about.
I don’t use Spotify anymore, but I miss Discover Weekly. When it missed, it really missed, but I still found a lot of artists through it.
Spotify daylist (search for it). Better than discover weekly imo, and changes multiple times during the day.
Didn’t know, thx for that. I was complaining about discover weekly cause it’s too long between refreshes.
I just started using the AI playlist as an alternative. You can give prompts “Like this playlist, bands I never heard” or “New bands only”. The 2-3 times I’ve used it worked alright, the songs were quite fitting the prompt. I just didn’t hear any bangers in there so I don’t know what to think about it.
I subscribe to the digital stream of radio stations through my podcast app. WFUV out of New York City, WXRV out of I don’t know where, some random station out of Sydney, Australia I stumbled on that has an EDM DJ on at the same time I’m waking up on the weekends.
I also have Spotify, but I tend to get better recommendations from real human DJs at radio stations.
I have a large list on bandcamp that I follow to try and stay up with as many releases as I can, also following relevant genre “tags” on there to get recommendations from artists I may not know about. The genre tags can be hit and miss though due to artists often being unable to tag their work properly.
I’ll also listen to shows on SoundCloud and will search out tracks and new artists I hear on there. I’ll also occasionally check the Juno charts if I have run out of new music to listen to and in the last year started building up a follow list on Spotify to check new releases there that I may have missed from all the other avenues.
It’s a shame Bandcamp killed RSS
Despite being aware of it for a quarter of a century I have never used RSS although I probably should.
Bandcamp is slowly getting worse but depending on your core genre interests for me it is still by far the best choice.
RSS is so handy, it’s a shame it’s not as supported as it used to be. I used to read a ton of webcomics, not all of them with consistent release schedules, some of them on social media sites I don’t use much, and RSS was how I kept track of them all.
Bandcamp’s the best of a bad lot: no DRM is a big deal. When they had RSS they were nearly perfect.
Pretty much. They still run bandcamp Friday too when the artists get all the money for sales so I generally stack up my wishlist and try to make my purchases on that one Friday a month.
