I had quit Spotify long ago and more recently ditched Apple Music because I don't want to support the services that are squeezing the artists.

My replacement consists of two main elements:
1 - FM radio, like our ancestors used to do in when they lived in caves
2 - NTS Radio (https://www.nts.live/)

I'm still procrastinating it, but will subscribe for the perks such as enhanced tracklists. I just wanted to spread the word in case someone is looking for alternatives.

Live radio, and especially radio that focuses on bringing diversity like NTS, is actually pretty refreshing.

DE-PLATFORMING MUSIC CONSUMPTION

Streaming music sucks, but it’s also so convenient and ubiquitous. Having access to music streaming means that any song I want from any era is constantly available.   

What that really means, though, is that choice paralysis freezes me from making any new choices—I effectively spin the same 10 records most of the time.   

A lot of my friends have tried to get off streaming […]

#DavidHolmes is laying into #DonaldTrump again today in his monthly #NTSRadio programme (and playing #NineInchNails at lunchtime)

also tying in #Palantir, #PeterMandelson, and #Epstein. You'd never hear this on the BBC!

Interesting to hear Don Letts playing #DavidHolmes on #bbc6music . David Holmes' programme on #NtsRadio has been scathing of Donald Trump and the coverup of Epstein - you would never hear it on the BBC.

Radio is boring this morning. NTS is playing "Death Is Not The End Jugowave & Finnish Punk, 16 Feb 2025" on one of its Infinite Mixtape channels, that will have to do.

Unfortunately there's no tracklist, so I have no idea what's going on.

I can't decide if I heard them through #bbc6music or #NtsRadio . Certainly BBC 6 Music played them, presumably Steve Lamacq. On NTS, Andrew Weatherall played them.

It's always slightly odd when DJs on #NtsRadio play music by other DJs on NTS Radio. In this case, Kristin Kontrol playing Dry Cleaning.

The DJ David Holmes has his monthly show on #NTSRadio - it's titled "Humanity as an act of Resistance - EPSTEIN CLASS EP2". There's a lot of soundbites about Trump, Epstein, Israel, and Iran that I've not heard before.

Listening to NTS today, I got introduced to the Australian band Das Druid, which in their own words, describe themselves as Madchester out of Meanjin. https://dasdruid.bandcamp.com/ #NTSRadio #Bandcamp #Madchester

#Shazam hates #NtsRadio and often just claims I am listening to multiple irrelevant or even AI slop tracks simultaneously

@otfrom Try #NtsRadio - very varied content. A number of newish Radio 6 DJs graduated from there anyway (also about a quarter of the guests on Peel Acres). If there's nothing interesting on, there's always the mixtapes too.

@Autumn I'd usually suggest #ntsradio as an alternative, but they're playing weird music at the moment on their scheduled service
