Comment on How Spotify started — and killed — Latin America’s podcast boom.

  Then bandcamp and SoundCloud for you lol. But encourage your friends and neighbors to play music, too. And bring your instruments to their houses and have them bring theirs for yours. And you never gave to play in public or record anything. Just get together and be bad together. Its what our ancestors did. They weren’t good. They just did it to enjoy themselves. And our modern culture factories have taken that away from us in a time when we should have more free time than ever because we’re more productive than ever

    Haha for sure. I agree with all that. I’m a professional musician and play with random locals in pubs and friends all the time. I would say there is quite a healthy culture for that in Ireland.

    I was mainly interested in software (that isn’t Spotify) that would allow me to explore more musics.

      I’m always on the hunt too. Its frustrating. Spotify consistently doesn’t let me know about new releases I’d be interested in, and just boils everything to the most business friendly songs. Bandcamp has served me the best at being like “here’s the weird shit”

    I wish I could play, but musical school is only free here for very young children, and no way I am affording a paid one now…

      Start with a drum. Bang out a rhythm. Be unbothered by being a bit off offbeat

        First - instruments are unaffordable as well, a school would at least lend one to you. Second - you won’t be taught good technique like that. I don’t even know notes!
