I would like to listen to my friends playlists on Spotify, but it makes you log in to listen to them and I refuse to make an account.

[greghousesgf]

I don't know how many people remember the website musicovery. I absolutely loved it at first but it deteriorated very badly and I don't think it even exists anymore.

[(Anonymous)]

I hated 8tracks because so many people used it and it wasn't actually available in about half the countries of the world, including mine. And people would just not bother also making a playlist anywhere else. Or even a track listing, often.

[scissorsevered]

I used to love making fandom playlists on spotify but they were so cumbersome to share with others. I'm sure there are other playlist sites out there, but I've yet to find anything good.

[(Anonymous)]

I never made an account with 8Tacks and IIRC if you didn't have an account you could only skip like five tracks per day or something? So the 8Tracks era was frustrating to me, personally. Was it really free?

I'm nostalgic for the days of LJ fanmixes, where the mix-maker would provide YT links to all the songs and then a zip-file link to the entire playlist at the end--plus "cover art" for the fanmix, and maybe a bit of meta to go with each song. I loved those so much.

[(Anonymous)]

Before 8tracks, I remember downloading so many songs from livejournal from fandom fanmixes (I still have several mp3 files on my mp3 player to this day with the fanart/edit still attached to them too). But yeah, 8tracks was good too before it went south.

Funnily enough I still find new music through the fandoms I'm in, but mostly from fanfiction/fanart (titles from songs, a reference within the work, etc), or fan videos.
I do listen to fanmixes from youtube where people have edited hour-ish long videos to compile songs in because its more accessible to me than spotify - such as a Moomins playlist for Snufkin here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8MTe-aiuAI&t=1486s - which introduced me to bands like The Crane Wives.

[(Anonymous)]

LJ fanmixes were my jam, OP. I discovered so much good music through them. All my non fandom friends alwats complimented me on my music taste, so it felt like my special little secret of how I found new artists and songs.

I remember 8tracks starting to replace zipfiles of mp3s and feeling sad, because 8tracks was not how I listened to music.

Now I have spotify and honestly I'm fine with Spotify fandom playlists - you can just write up your list (and make fanart if you want) and link to the playlist online. And yet it's rare to come across a fandom playlist. IMO The problem is that not enough people are interested in fanmade soundtracks, not the medium.

Which I suppose is partially Spotify's fault, since it and its algorithms have removed the feeling of exclusivity and obscurity from the music scene that I think has fueled the desire to make mixtapes from the 80s onwards. But still. The community could be there if the people wanted it.

[(Anonymous)]

So before it was bought by myspace, and before myspace became a "music" platform, I used to listen to music on imeem. I don't know if anyone is familiar with that site, but many songs and artists I still love I "discovered" through that site! It went hand in hand (since I was too scared to download at the time, given the viruses and what not) LJ fanmixes (which omg, I loved the Fanart album covers and tracklists -- I still have flashbacks to a really good one sigh). Once these went down, that's when I played around with 8tracks, occasionally listening to some stuff, finding new artists thanks to fandom.

Anyway, all this love for LJ fanmixes makes me so warm and nostalgic, makes me want to see them again with the pretty album covers people would make. Which is also why I liked the 8tracks album covers too lol.

Not sure I'd go as far as calling people cretins, but point taken. I've been guilty of the former, and subjected to the latter. Having been on "both" sides, there really is no excuse. Even if you generally have a hard time with these types of interactions, or struggle with guilt and/or an anxiety, you should never screw over the other person. In the former situation, speak up before it's too late so that someone else has the chance to step in - it's better than nothing. In the latter, simply saying "thanks!" really is the bare minimum.

[(Anonymous)]

I grew up writing mandatory thank you letters to relatives for birthday gifts. Seems like a good practice in hindsight.

[(Anonymous)]

If you're too anxious to say thank you for a gift, don't sign up in the first place! Just treat somebody! (I hate writing requests, so mostly I just treat.)

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, there is really no good excuse not to thank someone. "I don't know what to say," just say thanks and name a couple of things that you liked about it.

I get the sense that most Arcane people are curious about League lore but could take it or leave it. My fandom friends and I are very "League? I don't know her" about the actual game.

It’s 2023 and we’re all a bunch of sad, tired adults who have realized that dictating what should make us happy never made any of us happy. Cringe is out. Squee is in.

Sigh. I’ve been on whatever the opposite of a roll is. I feel like I can’t stop making minor but noticeable social blunders lately. That’s why I like the anonymity here, because nothing I say has any impact on how people view anything else I say. There’s no reputation buildup. And yet I still feel like crawling in a hole and never posting again when I accidentally say something wrong.
