I don’t want a Spotify wrapped, I don’t want an algorithm telling me what I like. Give me back the local dude at Blockbuster recommending our weekly movie night VHS, give me the cute girl at the record store saying “you might like The Cure”.
Records, VHS, Cassette, Print Magazines….gimme dat shit

vinyl, CDs, tapes, rummage through the record store. Speaking as a former college radio guy, I’ve found the most interesting music in my life by forgoing any streaming and algorithm all together. ported my entire library over into an iPod and found that far more fulfilling!
besides that, listening to the radio is great, college radio in particular always has something, even if its just pop music, you are getting something curated with intent every two hours and that matters.
also, talk to people you know about what to listen to! do not let a machine give you vibes based recommendations!

Finding a recycled appreciation for physical media again as someone who grew up in the early 00’s. I miss blockbuster! redbox (when it was good)! anybody remember GameFly? I still check out movies from the library, but especially with companies owning and having the ability to remove media from their platform at their greedy, corporate will - I’ve started buying my favorite movies, shows, and CDs again :)

I still go on a couple times a day while I’m on the computer but that amounts to about 20x less than I would be otherwise. Brings down screen time more than you’d think.

our enjoyment of the cinema shan’t be beholden to the whims of others, nor our early arrival for the trailers, nor our choice of snack
