Like a lot of people, I mostly discover new music through streaming. I think that's just kind of the way the world works now. I’ll find an artist using the Discover function on Spotify once I've finished listening to a record and it'll play similar artists. But a lot of my musical discoveries come from word of mouth. I’m lucky to have a lot of friends who have a cool taste in music and they’ll recommend me things. And then generally, if I see a name or a record cover that interests me, I'll try and find it on Spotify.
But a lot of the time I'll be in a certain mood one day and I'll just be like, ‘I want to listen to something that's like kind of jazzy but [a certain] type of jazz and [a certain] type of era and I'll just look for that and the algorithms find for me what I’m looking for. If I want to find a powerviolence band after the year 2005 Spotify will be like, ‘Here you go, this is Regional Justice Center.’ I think if you know what you want you can find it these days…
