#23I found a lot of new music in the early 2000s with last.fm, their suggestions algorithm was incredible, and I haven't found anything like it ever since, unfortunately.

I just discovered King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard because some soul is using Ai to turn a line of lyrics into images in a slide show fo…
There is "new" and "new to you". If it was "new" music I'd badly want a filter to turn off autotune.
