I watch a new anime and the op/ed is a banger
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.
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.
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!
Nice
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.
Bandcamp Features
I follow a bunch of hash tags on Mastodon.
I really don’t care how Kanye does anything.
I don’t know wwhat that means
Typo in your title. Kanye is known as “Ye”.
Different pronunciation. Kanye’s ye is “yay” while the plural second person pronoun “ye” is pronounce like “Yee”
Very cool. Kind of like how Pandora used to be when it first started.
This thread is throwing up gold
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.
Find a stoner buddy whose autistic special interest is music and music history. You’ll have endless recommendations for cool shit.

As for me personally, I like looking up music and genres specific to local areas, particularly those from other cultures. Afrobeat’s been big on my mind ever since I discovered it, and I’ve been having good luck searching through old Zamrock albums.
You should post to !noyank@lemmy.ml – it’s a world-culture comm
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’ve been paying for a Pandora subscription for about a decade. Worth it. (Piracy is a service problem.)
Their recommendations for similar bands, auto play, and making stations from a band or song has let me discover so much music over the years.
(Piracy is a service problem.)
Piracy isn’t a problem.
I mean, I have a home server setup with 32 terabytes of NAS in a RAID 5 running the *Arrs and Jellyfin pulling from Usenet. Also running Calibre and paying for Anna’s.
Like I told a friend that got huffy with me over how I do my sailing, “I been pirating since you had babyteeth.”
You can be prickly if you want, but increased piracy is a symptom of a service problem. If Netflix hadn’t gone to shit, I’d still be using it. I’m considering paying for Samsung’s art subscription for my TV.
I will pay a reasonable price for convenient media. Make it difficult or expensive enough, and I’ll sail the high seas. Time is money.
I’ve got the same setup but less storage. But more importantly, what’s Anna’s?
Anna’s Archive for ebooks.
Anymore it’s either through yt recommendations or sometimes I’ll see other people recommending songs and decide to look them up.
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.
Awful.
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.
