How do you keep music in your life?

Spotify, Apple, Pandora, CDs, radio -- how do you spread your jam?

I have been getting an increasing amount of music via YouTube lately. There is also a singing event tonight that I'm looking forward to for the companionship.

My wife and I listen to the stream of KEXP in Seattle. It is an awesome station, and there is no radio station like it here in the Bay Area. It is programmed by human beings instead of relying on stupid algorithms. Highly recommend it; it pays attention to social justice issues.

I shall keep it in mind for when I am up for radio.

Right this moment I’m watching a retrospective of all - ALL - the top 10 hits of the 1980s. I, er, can sing along with most of them.

Ahaha. The decade just Rickrolled me 😂

Rick Astley is never going to give you his DVD of the Pixar film Up. In doing so, he is going to let you down. The Rick Astley paradox.

I'm boring when it comes to music: I pretty much only listen to Final Fantasy soundtracks. That's a combo of stuff ripped to my tablet, and CDs of the stuff that was in a format my tablet couldn't play. Occasionally I will listen to something I don't own in YouTube, but I haven't done that in a while.

When I get into a soundtrack groove, it turns into a rut pretty readily. Ask me about the time I spent mumbledy months with Hamilton on constant repeat, or the way I can sing all of Joni Mitchell's album Blue cold.

CDs downloaded to computer/synced to phone.

Makes sense to me.

you tube, and a half a shelf of CDs

I have more music around, but the tv has youtube in it and my shelf is right in front of me so the rest of the music doesnt seem to get used.

[petra]

Youtube is so easy, I get how that happens. I'm glad you use the half shelf of CDs too.

Amazon Music until I got annoyed with not being able to play my local files, so currently Spotify Premium. I'm still working on recreating all my playlists, though.

[petra]

Good luck with the playlisting!

An AAA-powered MP3 player, and my external hard drive's library.

AAAs seem retro, somehow, but hey, whatever works for you.

I like my media independently modular, thank you!

I listen to Sirius XM, Prime Music, the music on my iPhone, regular FM radio, and the beautiful voices of my church's select choir members (COVID precautionary measures = select choir members in masks spread around perimeter of sanctuary only people allowed to sing during service).

And, you'd better believe I have specific Pandora stations on Sirius XM at home and playlists on Prime Music and my iPhone for specific things!

Music is everything to me!

[petra]

I'm glad *some* people get to sing during your church services. It would be really too bad to not have any music. It's hard enough to just listen without joining in.
