listening stations
I got sucked into some elder-millenial nostalgiacore earlier this week and ended up watching a few minutes of camcorder footage from late 90s megabookstores. The dark lipstick and effortlessly cool outfits of the clerk and barista brought me in, but this cut from Borders in 1997 made me sit up straight - a clip of the CD listening stations where you could sample 10 or so CDs at a time with comfy headphones while you flipped through the shelves.
To a seventeen-year-old musically obsessed introvert, these stations were everything.

Web radio that crawls Discogs and plays rarities - filter by style, year, country; songs link out to YT or Discogs proper.

zig~zag
Discovery by navigating a genre map. Invite-only, I guess, but rudimentary function works without login? I’m on the waiting list.
