Does it feel like work to discovery new stuff, or does it happen naturally?

@dualhammers I also basically always have stuff playing (usually headphones, sometimes speakers, whatever) and I've found I have three modes:

- Play my library (a proper capital-L Library at 700GB or so)
- Discovery, these days almost entirely # theStudio or Bandcamp Radio / Pandora. Active process, decent bit of work to find the gems
- "Background noise", effortless but I rarely remember much of it. This is the Soma.FM and similar streams mode where I can't really mark favs

@klardotsh @dualhammers I rarely stream music but we have the whole Secret Thirteen catalog aboard, so when I'm in a discovery mode, even if we've played these mixtapes hundreds of times, I always discover something new.

@klardotsh how are you able to think and get stuff done with music playing? I find the music distracts me in tending to it or leads to thoughts that pull on my focus

@dualhammers @klardotsh I do a similar thing, but tend to not play anything with decipherable words/lyrics if I'm trying to do "work" on something—they're too distracting.

This feels like a good opportunity to shamelessly plug my niche software https://git.sr.ht/~proycon/clickclack , for those without boats or hardware switches, but still in need of clicks and clacks!

@slisne @klardotsh @dualhammers I have so many favourites, Andi Stecher's are pretty good ❤
