What you can expect
This journal is primarily about my life, music & the occasional fandom diversion (mostly: Critical Role & Dragon Age). I do not have any particular friending policy; I welcome new friends and will usually add back. If you know me from elsewhere, feel free to send me a message. Thanks for stopping by. <3
Secondary Fanworks
You may podfic, MST3K, or create secondary fanwork of any fanwork I have posted. Please include a link to my work and let me know where you've posted yours. Please do not archive elsewhere.

Date: 2021-01-28 03:46 pm (UTC)I listen to free-form radio (WFMU) a lot, so when they play something that interests me, I go to Bandcamp and add it to my wishlist. (They also have a heavily-played list that updates every month, and I check that out and make additions based on that too.) A couple times a month I go through it and winnow out the albums I like. I also read the Bandcamp newsletters. And of course I get updates from the labels I purchase from. And once a quarter I'll check out the more standard review sites (allmusic, pitchfork) and mow through a bunch of albums, seeing if anything is of interest. Plus there's what friends post on-line (which, in the example of KPop is mostly not for me but then I pass it on to Kid #1 and she appreciates it.)
For playlists, I have a Holding Pen where I dump songs I've heard.
It's remarkably similar to how I do any other kind of research, actually.
