Currently rip my CDs and then listen on my phone/PC as digital music. I also pirate music from artist I find problematic to avoid supporting them, and pirate old music I used to listen to which I plan to purchase later (not really in the position to buy all the music I’ve listened for free in my whole life, plus I feel like I’ve streamed them enough to support them, so I don’t feel that guilty). My partner has vinyl records, so sometimes I listen to that, too. Also the ocassional concert when I can afford it, of course, I need that sweet live music.

My current favorite band… Probably Twenty One Pilots? I don’t listen to a lot of bands lol, I mostly listen to solo artists, in which case my favorite artist is by far Ren.

I like Twenty One Pilots because they’re like everything teen me would’ve loved. Specially a fan of Self Titled / NPI era. Raw garage-tier songs about your problems with God, and faith overall? Sign me tf in, I’ve had quite the history with religion.

And I like Ren because of his hard-to-label music style from song to song, while so very clearly being a Ren song, with all of his theatrics, lyricism, life struggles, cynisism, and a splash of religion. I’ve been following him for a while and it’s amazing to see so far he’s come.

Speaking of Ren and Twenty One Pilots… They’re playing at a festival together next year (REN BARELY PLAYS LIVE)… And I can’t fucking attend because it’s in another continent. fuck me.
