people are always shouting out good movie sites on here so I want to also fly the pirate flag for a second 🏴☠️ this website rips music in the highest available quality straight from streaming platforms - which is to say that it has everything. listen, use it responsibly. I buy music as much as I can and I use a streaming platform that pays well. but sometimes I want to make a silly little mashup of songs I don't really want to buy, and this is somehow both faster and better than a youtube downloader. also a LOT of the time, I buy vinyl that doesn't come with a download code. this usually has my back
it also has like, a dedicated section of the site for Kingdom Hearts music for some reason. that's cute. I like knowing there's a different category of weird little nerd out there working for me. someday I hope something I do repays the favour.
for everything else there's Soulseek

i’m indebted to this music blog for exposing me to so much good stuff that’s otherwise not available on streaming or really hard to find. there’s a couple sites out there that make me feel like i’m doing some digital crate-digging and this one of them. insane collection of 70s-90s japanese music especially, but they cover a lot of obscure zones

NTS and Do You Radio are two of my daily listens — NTS has a tracklist function too + a huge archive of mixes.
Searching a favourite track on YouTube and then filtering by playlist is also really fun. Takes a little scrolling.
Discogs and bandcamp are both marketplaces I often dip into for some discovery. Both have user-made lists. Discogs you can go down great rabbit holes by digging into a particular artist/musician/producer’s entire body of work. Bandcamp good for new grassroots music.
Soulseek if you don’t mind a little piracy is also great. You can browse people’s entire music libraries. Some are really thoughtfully organised. There’s something oddly endearing about getting an impression for who someone is simply going off how they’ve organised their music and what they have.

whenever i hear a song i like i always look it up on this website and probably 80% of the time it leads to me discovering even more really cool music i most likely wouldn't have looked into or found otherwise

the simplicity of exploring around on Google Earth meets the infinity of local radio from every single pocket of the globe. the thrill of the hunt and the joy of just hanging out. it doesn't get better than this folks

it's only like 11°C outside in Dublin right now but the sensation of sunlight helps to elevate the cruel existence of Computer Work. so, fuck it! balcony season! allowing the Macbook to experience its true natural habitat of Somewhere That Isn't My Desk has made me a bit more appreciative of its possibilities. last summer I took the idea to its logical end point and brought my cheap usb dj controller out on the balcony with me, recording DJ sets for nobody in particular on my headphones as the sun sets. those days approach once more. now if only I could solve the glare problem

the privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo has the idea of "Bangs". throwing !g at the end of a search fires it over to google, !w to wikipedia, !r to reddit etc. there are thousands of these, and it lets you get very intentional about where you want to search for information; not just relying on one tool for every job.
outside of the bangs feature, well, ddg is... fine. it's not immune to spam, but at least it hasn't implemented an AI that lies to you. yet.
