Quite the meta statement of mainstream music

Peaking Lights - 936

Not sure what you mean, but here are some considerations. See which is important to you and then others can opine?

Taste (subjective. E.g. I find anything that is tetrapak vs refrigerated to have a ubiquitous off taste)

Versatility
(some hold up better in hot liquids than others; or have a necessary thickness for cooking or baking)

Nutritional Profile
(soy is usually naturally higher in protein; oat and rice milk are high carb / glucose load)

Cost

Quality of ingredients, including how processed they are

Inclusion of undesirable ingredients
(e.g. oils, thickeners)

Ecological impact
(Amount of water to produce e.g. almonds vs oats; over harvesting e.g. coconut)

This is the type of thing to keep in your back pocket for days when you need perspective. Sure you messed up today. But did you Billy Coull your day?

I'm with you in missing that brief era where we could just be truly social online and it felt like a healthy extension of real life dynamics

At first I thought you were posting your response and it came off like this wonderful troll of what a user might disingenuously post on nostupidquestions

+1 on Vinyl music player

afa music collection, I slowly shift things from folder to folder where I gradually cull tracks which I decide I no longer need to hear. I curate rather than hoard (although I see long term value in others opting to keep everything for the sake of all; so 'hoard' is not intended to judge those who do in this instance).

To find new music, I lean on Bandcamp. ofc they're trying to sell the artist on the platform; but the blogs are often quite good, steering me to stuff I would've unlikely discovered on my own. If I identify a new genre that I've gravitated towards, I read up on it, e.g. on Wikipedia, to find other artists emblematic of the style

Same. Curious to hear of some options

Anyone have feedback on this option?

Yeah the work to be one of the cool kids of private trackers just seems a little much

yup! It can be hard to sustain holiday cheer for 5+ weeks

Team Bandcamp as well. I'll be sad if it degrades. My hope is it survives long enough to be discovered by everyone as they get sick of the shit music streams on Spotify, Pandora and their ilk
