thing is they're often really really bad too. e.g. when i 'explore' albums on youtube music it force feeds me a limited selection of new releases based on popularity, percieved genre preference, and my geographic location, probably some other stuff as well. less than 5% of those recommendations end up being of any interest to me. meanwhile all i really desire is a full list of releases ordered by date and just let me sift through that myself, but there seems to be no way to get that list, at least not through the regular user interface. it's very frustrating.

For the last few months, I’ve consumed every piece of media reviewed by the FT Weekend. It’s been a mixed bag, but I’ve made some wonderful discoveries.

  thanks for the suggestion -- is this what you're refering to? https://www.ft.com/arts/music/albums https://www.ft.com/arts/music/albums i'll probably add it to my sources, but still a comprehensive list of new releases would be a dream come true.

    Yes, that’s the music part. I find a comprehensive list would be overwhelmingly long, and dominated by poor quality. I also follow their recommendations of film, radio, and TV.

      undoubtedly so, but i enjoy the process of curating media myself, sifting through loads of dirt and finding those hidden gems. a list in the style of 0day music scene releases but legal, instantly streamable, and limited to current releases would be a perfect playground in that sense, yet i can't seem to find anything remotely similar even if it exists somewhere.

        Try rateyourmusic.com's list: https://rateyourmusic.com/new-music/ https://rateyourmusic.com/new-music/ (sort by: date) Also their charts by genre/year are quite cool: https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/ https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/
