So, like… Sleep Token?
No joke though, this is incredible: https://youtu.be/JJpFTUP6fIo
In my day to day playlist I have mostly brutal metal and jazz, with some '90s British trip-hop, Romanian traditional music & hip hop fusion, a bit of manouche, 2000s alternative and '90s grunge here and there…
That’s when I work or work out.
The Diablo or Witcher OSTs are for when I read or do my taxes.
Normal activities: normal music
Taxes: boss music
Sea shanties just hit different, especially when sung by native speakers.
This person drinks from a horn.
This comment made me look up at my drinking horn hanging on the wall among Ren faire weapons and shield…
Genuine question: Is it practical both for drinking and cleaning or is it really just a gimmick to look cool?
It’s kind of practical when standing or walking slowly, like at a fair. Since it’s got a shoulder strap I don’t have to hold it all the time. But you can’t set it down with anything in it. Cleaning is a little awkward but not terrible, give it a good soak and use a bottle brush to get all the way down.
It is fun to drink out of a horn though
Upgrade your friends. But don’t abandon the soundtrack of your life. It’s a vital piece of the narrative. 🎧
The same thing happens when I put my King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard discography on shuffle. Gotta at least sort by album or it’s chaos.
Seriously. I saw them play a few years back and thought they were amazing. Some time later my friend put on an album in the car and my thought was, “what is this absolute garbage?” Same band somehow.
Yea, they are good at many sub genres of music, but not everyone is into all of them, or just not in the mood for death metal, jam band, EDM, Folk, and microtonal kazoo music all at one time lol.
(Saw them at Red Rocks last year for all 3 shows, everything was great live)
How do they have seemingly unlimited funds to make all these records?
I think they used a combo of self and indi publishing options early and then made their own label. They even released an album for free. So I assume they have low overhead, and just crank out albums.
They also probably make a ton of money touring.
A great Celtic banger I’ve recently discovered. Also this one by Rose betts is great!
Seems like people in this thread might appreciate both those.
I assume you are familiar with Mongol throat singing, especially delivered in the form of techno)? I also like guys who put traffic cones in their bass saxophone. Death metal with a Banjo anyone? This intrigues me, though I don’t speak french.
If you’re into weird French music, give Igorrr a listen: drum & bass, glitch music, extreme metal, classical female vocal singing gibberish with baroque influences.
I’ve heard it called “Baroquecore”.
Sometimes Youtube’s absolutely random recommendations go hard.
Oh! weird French music ? Never been down that road before . Thanks ✌️
Enjoy. There’s a “making of” for his latest album on Youtube.
Dude built some instruments himself. He has an artist supporting him going “WTF is he going with this?”. And when pedals and weird amps aren’t enough for your guitar distortion, the obvious answer is to play it while the equipment is set on actual fire.
Don’t forget the occasional anime OP/ED
Neurodivergence has become the “My kid is gifted” for people who don’t have kids.
What the fuck are you talking about and who the fuck are you talking to
When CD burners first became affordable, I made mixes.
150 songs. I had a disk that started with pop, moved to metal, back to easy listening and ended with classical.
What does everyone do? Insert mp3-CD and hit shuffle.
Megadeath: Sweating Bullets -> Grieg In the Hall of the Mountain King -> MJ Smooth Criminal
Add Mongolian Throat singing and Tibetan chanting to that list.
Try out Mongolian Metal. They combine metal and throat singing.
The who? The Hu! Who? The HU!
My playlists get sprinkled with a little Ancient FM: Music of the mediæval and renaissance eras.
Man I don’t exactly love two out of four of those genres myself, but this thread has a few commenters that seem to want to pretend they’re the adults in the room but in reality they’re just a bunch of miserable cunts that either hate music or only want to listen to the same fucking popular shit over and over.
Like, popular music is fine to be clear but so is wanting to listen to weirder stuff.
No faster way to make otherwise normal-seeming people go full-on rabies-mode is to make a public statement about a kind of music you don’t like.
It’s wild how people take that as a personal attack. In every instance, in a public space, if you type out distaste in a music genre someone is going to lose all reason and restraint and come at you swinging fucking viking axes.
Meh, your take is kinda trash. You should own what you like and dont like and stop caring what other people think about you so much, especially whatever “normal” people are.
How is my take bad? I didn’t say don’t own what you like, I said people around you become irrational. That’s factual, not a take. You can choose to react any way you want to it.
No mention of Dwarven metal yet?
