what I'm listening to right now

Uh, I probably should have done this in my earlier post but I forgot and also I wanted to do a seperate one. ofjustimagine asked me what I've been listening to!

I like to a lot of music. My spotify unwrapped last year said I'd listened to 75k minutes of music. which is probably too much. I listen on my commute, and when on the tube at all, and I work in an open plan office that allows headphones so I listen a lot at work.

To find new music, I use a lot of spotify's built in features (my discover weekly, and their new music playlists) but I also listen to All Songs Considered whenever I feel my music is getting stale. It's one of the few podcasts I can stand listening to at all times, because of how much music there is, and the presenters clearly loving music and keeping their chat to an acceptable level.

Recently, I've been listening to the spotify playlist of all the music featured in Peaky Blinders, since I'm writing a peaky blinders au right now and I like the vibe a lot. Lots of Johnny Cash.

Podcast wise, I've been listening to Friends at the Table, which growlery convinced me of in her manifesto. I'm really enjoying it! I'm the worlds slowest listener, but I'm liking it a lot. I'm listening to the Twilight Mirage series, and love Gig and Echo, and Fourteen Fifteen, and am enjoying the friendly dynamic, and how chill it is.

Sometime when the spotify web player isn't refusing to load on train wifi I'll make a post of all my favorite spotify playlists!

Ooh, thanks to you (and growlery!) for the Friends at the Table primer! I've thought about starting it up because of the reviews but have been too intimidated to figure out where to start. (Pay no attention to the pile of unlistened podcasts I'm already subscribed to behind the curtain!!)

sorry to just barge in here

but if you'd like more context or info or whatever i am literally always willing to talk about friends at the table.

Mm, thanks for the podcast rec! Spotify's model doesn't really work for me, so I'm always on the lookout for new ways to find new music.
