I don't have pandora/spotify/whatever because I've already got 22,000 songs right here that I've never listened to. This is because when I'm intoxicated, acquiring new music sounds like a GREAT IDEA, whether or not I'm going to like the new stuff.

look at that, a 13-minute experimental/prog-rock epic named "Where The Fuck's My Wallet?" — tipsy!Krinn thought that sounded just swell

someone I've never heard of plays the music of someone else I've never heard of, on an instrument I've heard of but couldn't pick out of a lineup? count me in

the music I actually like is, by and large, trash — therefore, some random synthwave artist too obscure for a wikipedia page probably raises the average quality of my library. get in here.

while I'm at it, hook me up with some furry drum-and-bass bullshit with the artist's fursona on the cover, I fucking love that, god

"hindustani classical" is a phrase I'd literally never heard in my life before I laid eyes on this album, so naturally I had to have it.

this is not music snobbery: I have no idea whether this music is _good_ or not, and I'm not invested in anyone (including me) liking it

she doesn't know what the fuck she's listening to and neither do I, but that's not stopping us

this was recommended to me as the best tech/death metal album of 2018, a description I am profoundly unqualified to dispute

I believe I ended up with this one through Warren Ellis' newsletter broadside dealie. great source for this kind of thing.

"hey krinn would you like to listen to music programmatically generated from tree rings? yeah that's what I thought"

this habit dates back to before my current music library (2012–present): I knew someone who worked in public radio, they were giving away free CDs, I was all about that

people are already replying to this thread to tell me "actually krinn that album slaps," which makes me very happy
