how to find new music to listen to

Listen to college radio. Stream it so that you can see the song titles. Hopefully they have that feature turned on, on their website.

I have found some really cool stuff by listening to college radio. Bonus points if you are an older person who is influenced by what the young cool kids like and you want to pretend to be still young and cool.

I think the older I get the more I don’t want to become an old guy who says all new music sucks and music was much better back in my day. And all that old guy yelling at clouds shit. It’s so old and it’s the fastest way that I can see towards irrelevance. When your music tastes just stop two, three, or even four decades ago. That’s a bad sign. That’s a sign that you are stuck in the past. Guess what, everyone is still moving. The world is still moving, no matter what.

Yes new things are weird, but there was new weird stuff when you were young. There always will be. But don’t judge an entire generation by some new weird shit. No artist defines a generation.

Examples of cool bands I’ve found from listening to my local college radio station. Which is Radio K.

She’s Green

Geese

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

Mazzy Star (yes I know they aren’t brand new, but I missed them when I was younger)

MJ Lenderman

Big Thief

Arlo Parks

Waxahatchee

Nilüfer Yanya

How did I get the umlaut over the u, well hit the win key and then the period key. Go over to the special characters menu and scroll down to the letters.

See you learn something new every day.
