Just Dance, Something, Something

I know it's easy to bitch about commercial radio. It's such an easy target, right? But I've just realised in the last week how utterly and truly shit it is.

I don't listen to the radio. Any radio. Not even Triple J or FBi. Not even 2SER, the station I had a couple of shows on for six months. It's not for any political reasons, like those ( Read more... )

Podcasts are teh future if you ask me. You can choose what you listen to, when you listen to it and fastforward through the crap you don't like.

Initially I just used podcasts for edumacational purposes but lately I have used it to find new music to like (even if it's from the inthemix podcast).

I'm going through a trance phase, I win on the embarrassing.

You win and break the world record.

I see the appeal of podcasts. I never listen to them, but that may be to do with the fact that I don't have a stable internet connection more than anything else. (Everybody else in my family has a wireless laptop, so when I want to use the intermanet, I need to balance my laptop on top of my lap - funnily enough - in the living room.)

Yeah I have good nets set up.

The trance thing is mainly because I find it's the best music for the gym. Arrgh. What have I become?

I'm currently enjoying industrial for the gym, but I guess you've already gotten through that stage.

Listen to Triple J and you won't feel so bad about the radio!

I usually get my new stuff through that... or last.fm is great for recommendations too.

Also, re: the goth thing, does this mean you're going to grow your hair long and dye it black? :P

Haha, no! I'm going to my first Gothy gig next month - The Birthday Massacre, Mz Ann Thropik and The Medicated - and I'm a little worry. I'll be there in my converse and denim shorts, surrounded by hardcore kids in PVC. Eek!

Goth-type people are usually pretty friendly... little tip I've learnt in the past year and a bit. :P

I manage to go to goth clubs and not feel too out of place... but then again it helps having Matt to hang onto.
