I only listen to stream services as I have no other media players: Apple Music, sometimes Spotify Waikiki Makaki surf-rock band from Ukraine https://linktr.ee/waikikimakaki Lost Diver https://lostdiver.bandcamp.com |

I consider Spotify evil, and won't support them in any way. I know they're convenient, but they pay the artists almost nothing. If I was a streamer, I would go with Tidal. They offer Hi-Res, and pay the artists better than most of the streaming services. I buy almost everything to which I listen on CD's, or via downloads from BandCamp, preferably on "BandCamp Fridays", when the artists get 100% of the proceeds. —Bob |

I buy and listen from bandcamp. Artists are much better supported on this platform. Most of streaming services, though convenient, are killing all but the big artists with their payment model. Spotify pays between $0.003 and $0.0084 per stream. Not enough to maintain a healthy music industry. Rev —Canadian Surf |

Bandcamp (frequently) and Amazon (less so). I don't use any streaming music services because of how poorly they treat and pay independent artists. —-- |

Spotify and YouTube, but lately I’ve been buying CD’s because stuff gets taken down too frequently |

I listen on YouTube Music or Youtube to get algorithm inspiration as well as Bandcamp to listen to albums in full (I also buy plenty of vinyl, so don't worry - I am contributing). My small complaint with Bandcamp is that sometimes I own a record on vinyl but did not buy it through them, and the app tells me that it is time to "open my wallet" - which is rather cheeky. |

Youtube and buying from Bandcamp. I buy CDs when I can and settle for digital when I can't. |

Thanks for the recommendations! I've been trying to catch Fiberglass Jungle and Storm Surge of Reverb for a bit now, but I'm used to podcasts downloading to my phone so I can listen at any time. With both of those, it seems that they broadcast at very specific times on specific days so you have to tune in live. I can respect that sort of ephemeral quality, but my schedule is anything but regular and I can never seem to catch the shows. Then again, I might be looking in the wrong places for them, but as someone who isn't necessarily a technological slouch, if they are available for on-demand listening, they certainly don't make it easy to find. Maybe that's part of what makes them good...if you want it, you gotta work for it! I'll keep an eye out for John Blair's podcast. btw, I don't know who Lady Reverb is, but if she doesn't work professionally in radio, she probably should. —Premiere Single Out Now! - Keep On Running |

That's no lady, that's my wife! Seriously, it is. She used to college DJ back in the 80s. Glad you've enjoyed those podcasts. With the advent of streaming music and radio it seemed unnecessary to continue the series.

She has a voice built for radio! I totally understand why the advent of streaming would affect the podcast, but there's so much surf music out there listening to someone's selection is a great way to get a sampling of stuff that might otherwise be missed. I'll check out John's podcast, but my feeling is the more the merrier. If you/she ever saw fit to bring it back, I'd definitely subscribe. —Premiere Single Out Now! - Keep On Running |
