NSC Chat Box

[Rmetr0]

It used to be much harder for me before and I really often was in situation when I had literally nothing to send to participate... I must be honest, sometimes I took the songs my friends showed me or even from other online contests...
But now it's much easier because YouTube algorithms seem to have improved and now it recommends me a lot of songs I find matching my taste
Also sometimes i find songs while just randomly hearing them on radio in shops/taxi/work/other places hehe
Well, there is one more category when I just remember songs from my childhood and decide send them lol
Still, even if now it's easier, I not always have songs I really want to send... Like this edition for example, I really had to think and go through my YouTube playlist before I made my final decision...
So looks like there's no advice from me lol, but I just shared my experience

 

[strajker]

Now the one that got mentioned as a signature thing for me, TV series soundtracks, other than that mixes on YouTube, Deezer and Spotify, sometimes other songs from artists NSC, ESC and so introduced to me.

 

[theditz83]

I normally swear by the "Song Radio" feature on Spotify as well as YouTube recommendations and random genre playlists that refresh weekly on Spotify. Have a massive back catalogue of "oldies" as well that may or may not be suitable for NSC eventually, so sure I won't run out of material anytime soon.

How do people here discover music usually? I have one source I go to but lately I feel like the well has really dried up and I'm not finding as many songs I love from it as I used to....

I used to rely on YouTube recommendations and randomly hearing stuff in my day-to-day life. These days it's mostly through Spotify and my wife I resisted paying for Spotify for many many years, but I finally bit the bullet last year and it is now probably my #1 source of new music. It's incredible how effective it is at recommending stuff.

 

[ferret]

My way is probably the most unpopular. I read blogs, music reviews, listen to author playlists, use trackers to check out new albums. Yes, it takes more time, but I love music and it all gives me pleasure and distracts me from gloomy events...

That is also why I internally select my entries

All these sad boi ballads make this difficult

Could you do this with 2p23 f entries

 

[soundofsilence]

As most people are already aware...... @Veronika and me finally got the opportunity to meet properly and spend time together I wish we had more time, though......we both struggled a lot to make this happen and it ended way too soon.

But these two weeks will always remain in my heart We used them to the maximum and we managed to achieve everything that we wanted at this point. For that, I am especially happy I am more than certain that the next adventure of ours will be even more epic

Thank you for making these two weeks the best weeks of my life, my love

I pray you get married

I'm looking for some advice regarding my entry for 223, any and all help would be much appreciated

Sakuralia ❀ NSC 233: Janet Jackson - Escapade

Despite riding a DNQ streak, we are inching ever so close to our milestone 100th entry, which we already have a song planned to share! Which leaves us the difficult task of selecting entry #99, so SHK needs your help. What kind of sound would like to hear from Sakuralia next? Traditional...

Nice to see some flags, but I will never understand why Spotify thinks it makes sense to wrap up a year when there's one month left, so I ignore everything about "Spotify Wrapped". Some of us still listen to music in December.

Probably marketing and visibility, a week after Thanksgiving and right before Christmas season.
