    Something is wrong with my account. What is it?

    I went through something similar some years ago.

    My bank and/or LL’s bank had been reclassified as “offshore” by the US authorities and they were nerfing my purchases.

    Ultimately I changed banks and the problem went away.

    PayPal usually works, unless your source bank is on someone’s “shady” list.

    There are other issues like having connectivity/security issues with your local WiFi that annoy the banks security, but I’m not too in-the-know about that.

    I’d suggest calling your bank and asking them whats-up.

    But that’s the thing, I use paypal. I’m getting refused before I even get the chance To put in my info and complete the purchase.

    There should be a prompt for a password when you buy in the browser, it appears as a popup. Maybe you have a pop-up blocker active? 

    Your account (assuming its this one) can't be compromised or banned, otherwise you would not be able to post here either.

    Yeah it’s weird, it didn’t even get to the part where I get prompted for a password

    I can't buy lindens in my browser or in my viewer in-game. When I try in browser I get an error saying my password is incorrect...even though there was never a prompt for a password. When I try tyo buy lindens in-game I get an email telling me my attempt to buy lindens has failed.

    Another odd thing that's going on with my account is when I search myself I don't find myself in the results even though other people come up when I search them.

    I searched my email and I can't find anything indicating that my account is somehow compromised. What's going on with my account??

    Where are some good ways to discover new music?

    Try different artists/genres; if your perception has been that bandcamp is any one thing, you may find there's more to discover there. Spotify does require an account to listen unlike most others, but if you're just trying to discover music, it may be useful. Soundcloud has something better than a recommended music feature-- you can follow your favorite artists and then explore the music that -they- fav or repost. You build this ever-growing vast network of who you pay attention to. That's honestly the best way to use youtube, too; we're convinced your subscriptions and likes influence the recommendations that you get from its neural net deeply and just listening to a few videos will prime the pumps and get it recommending more to you on any given web session.

    The life of a DJ is to listen to music obsessively because it moves you, living in that world and then emerging with discovered experiences to share  and celebrate. What fun! n__n

    Youtube gets way too linear with the songs they recommend for you. And yes, bandcamp has a nice variety of music but in my experience it’s mostly inappropriate, like for example my favorite artists on there are Mr Kitty and emptyself. I’ll give SoundCloud a try but it sounds like a lot of work compared to 8tracks which simply presented songs to you.

    Google.  Google questions such as "greatest songs of the 1980's"..."greatest guitar riffs of all time"..."greatest albums of all time" (all of these are examples - you make up the questions to ask Google).   I've found great songs I've never heard of by thinking of questions to ask Google, then I listen to the songs on YouTube.  If I like the songs, I will then make my own YouTube Playlist.  It's a good way to get song titles for genres and time periods but you still have to put in effort to listen.  Rolling Stone has many lists you can also Google.  

    I’m looking for stuff that’s a little more under the radar and more current

    Three other places you could look include Bandcamp, spotify, and SoundCloud, but there are many others.

    I’ve found a lot of really good hidden gems on bandcamp but they’re not always appropriate for a club, mostly sad and acoustic. Spotify requires a subscription and doesn’t have everything. I could try soundcloud but it doesn’t have a recommended music feature.

    I just became a DJ at a club and I want to play a good variety of music, both unknown gems and popular tunes...but in the past 5 years I've been very busy and became out of the loop with music. I used to use 8tracks and playmoss to discover songs and artists but they both bellied up. Youtube is all I have left now. I look at people's fanmixes, listen to Pandora Radio, and go to various clubs in sl. What else can I do? I need to find more songs.
