A few different ways. Typically in the morning I like to start with my local independent music station (shout out to The Current) since I hate making decisions in the morning and like to see what is new. I also typically listen to them in the car if I am not listening to my NPR new station. I like to see what is new and what concerts are going on nearby.

While I am working I will typically listen to an entire album from start to finish on Spotify. I have a go to artists and I sometimes make an effort to listen an artist I likes entire catalog. I do sometimes just let it play after the album plays to see what comes up. My wife loves a more mixed so I will do their themed playlists and their artist radios. I also do the artist radio if I want to just see what is happening or I have a smaller gap.

We have a record player in our living room. So if we are planning on sitting and doing things in that room we will use that. Its mostly chill and vibe records so we need to be in that mood. We do that more in the fall and winter than the rest of the year since we won’t be in that room as often. Its often used around the holidays since we will be just vibing around the house
