Music Blog Challenge
Here’s my attempt at the music blog challenge—I don’t know how but I think this is more chaotic than the tech one
Okay so if you thought my tech one was a mess, let’s get into something that’s been a part of my life more and for a longer amount of time. I am a musician, I’ve been playing guitars since I was in middle school, mostly bass (yes, it’s a guitar). Well, let’s go. I’m going to make it a little easier and just list things, but if I have something to say I’ll add to it.

Do You Listen to the Radio?
No. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
How Often Do You Listen to Music?
Daily, at least. I actually listen to a lot of podcasts as well. So long as something’s playing I find that I’m good. Most of what I actually listen to is Lo-Fi or classical music when I’m trying to focus/sleep, but a lot of that is ambient/background music.
How Often Do You Discover Music and How Do You Discover It?
I don't know how, it just happens. Sometimes I’ll find new music from Apple Music, sometimes it gets recommended by friends. I used to get a lot of music from Instagram, but I don’t go on Instagram anymore.
What's a Song or Album You Enjoy That You Wish Had More Recognition?
Point of Know Return
Pretty. Odd.
Midwest Emo
Favorite Song of All Time
Oh God don't make me choose
Has Your Taste in Music Evolved Over Time
Yeah, it's gotten worse. By that I mean the core of my taste in music has stayed relatively the same over the years, but it’s expanded into a lot more. I’ve gotten into more artists, more genres. It’s honestly a mess. You can’t tell what’s going on in my playlists. Am I listening to Poppy or am I listening to Taylor Swift? Who knows. Least of all me.
Final Thoughts
Okay this one I’m a little sorry about. If you have qualms or need clarifications, you know where to find me (that would be on Mastodon).
