Spotify uses algorithms, and given it just called you a Pink Pilates Catwalk Princess, we doubt it really knows you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At DITCH<\/em>, we\u2019re all about breaking free from the algorithm, the autoplay, the mindless shuffle. So instead, pick out the perfect record or CD at a charity shop, independent store or the revived HMV, and just let it spin. Of course you’ll need a CD player but we’re sure there’s one laying around in your parents’ garage somewhere. At least, this should get you out of your \u201cVampire Alien Grind Deathcore” phase.

Just take a moment to think: when was the last time you bought a physical piece of music? The majority of us probably can’t recall when we last did that. And who can blame us, when most artists’ entire discography is available to stream? This means many of us are probably getting bored of listening to the same things over and over, until we can’t stand it anymore. <\/p>\n<\/div>
