This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of posts that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

It entirely depends where you live. You can pay certain organizations for blanket rights to most songs and it’s extremely expensive.

Some options if you still want to broadcast are:

Use royalty free music/public domain
Go to Bandcamp/YouTube/Soundcloud and ask smaller artists permission to play their music on your station
Ask around your local scene and see if artists around your area give you permission to play their music.
Roll the dice and hope for obscurity to keep you safe

Currently I opted to put everything behind a password and only use it for myself. Once I’m more confident on building solid programming, I might look into starting a station for local and small artists with their permission.
