I've been involved in punk/hardcore community for decades now and I've got my sources : friends, blogs, forums, last fm follows... For anything else I listen to the radio, especially fip.fr who expose me to Music I wouldn't think I could love. Also, i mainly listen to albums, never playlists, automated or curated ones. I don't believe in recommendation algos and don't feel the need to get into that way of discovering music and leave that passion to a company. I always loved to dig into stores crates or read reviews and I fear the infinite of choice from streaming platforms or being stuck in a bubble. There's like something "unpure" and Betrayal to how I used to love music in Spotify recommandations and the way it pushes always something new. It may sounds puerile or posh but that's just how I feel, i'm very oldschool and conservative regarding this topic.

"Late Risers Club" on WMBR (MIT radio) is pretty good. They're daily 10-12 EST, but archive the shows for 2 weeks. Its less pure "punk" than it was but (Some DJs have more rock like tendencies...), but its still great. https://wmbr.org/cgi-bin/show?id=6785 https://wmbr.org/cgi-bin/show?id=6785 they post there set lists to "Track-blaster". They have a "listen" button if its within the 2 week archive period. here is last mondays show: https://track-blaster.com/wmbr/playlist.php?id=47208 https://track-blaster.com/wmbr/playlist.php?id=47208

French mainstream radio is good, and FIP is very good on that list. I like to listen to it from time to time to just realize how much eclectic genres there are (I am 'ot really into music, just listening casually). Another gem is the music played when the national radios are on strike. This is a special curated playlist just for that occasion (or a technical disaster) and the music is really good. I once switched on France Culture and there was sick music, thought "great they are on strike" (yes, quite an unusual reaction) and the host was back and said "to those who just joined, we are not on strike, just listening to some nice music"
