I used to discover a lot of new music on Youtube, actually.
If you watched a music video you liked, the algorithm recommended related stuff, but also threw you a curveball with <1000 views once in a while.
I stumbled upon a lot of great bands that way.

But nowadays, 3 videos in it’ll all be AI slop, so I’m open to new ideas and willing to pay for a service, too.

    Radio.garden is a website that lets you move a map around and connect to online radio stations all over the planet.

    Occasionally I go on there and just start scrolling around and listening to a bunch of different stuff to see what’s playing.

    About two years ago, I encountered Marius Ziska’s cover of Naeveran, I know it’s like well over a decade old, but it was new to me. It was amazing. And I never would have found it had not been on radio garden.
