Mudhead - I understand nothing Galactic - Bounce baby

[–] Kurtagag@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Sky´s Falling Down by Hypocrisy. I like it, metal is not for everyone tho I realize

R.E.M. - Ages of You. It came up in random rotation of ~5000 MP3s I have on my phone. Great song. Reminds me of being young. I used to belt it out in the car driving around as a teenager. It's on Dead Letter Office which is a collection of b-sides they released in the mid-late 80s.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 day ago

Right Now?

It'll do if you like pop-punk.

[–] Gumbyyy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

One Headlight by the Wallflowers. Absolutely yes - it's one of my favorite 90s songs.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The window's open and I can hear the birds singing outside. Yes, I recommend it.

John Cage has entered the chat

Cam Rao - CHASING

I heard him on a ARIatHOME live stream VOD, found it catchy. Probably recommend but it's not that deep.

Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian At Best

On the way home from work now. I bought her new album and started listening to her older stuff again too: https://youtu.be/o-nr1nNC3ds

The song of tinnitus. It sounds like the high pitched squeal of a failing power supply.

If we're counting what's stuck in my head, it's the live album version of In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins.

HIGHLY recommend either it or the studio version

Disintegration/Free Money by Slayer. Kickass cover and tribute to the original hardcore punk song by Verbal Abuse.

My kids are making me play K.K. Slider tracks from Wii's Animal Crossing City Folk in Brewster's Cafe (I am time traveling to Saturday). Cafe K.K. just played.

Do I recommend it? Yeah, cool cat.

All I can hear is the fan on my computer blowing. I don't recommend it.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

HOME - We're Finally Landing I'd say definitely give it a listen if you like synths.

[–] DigDoug@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Feels like somebody just set a speedrun world record.

im rawdogging the ambient sounds of public transport

[–] trem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Every so often, I'll listen to this song, because it's just piano + ambient sounds of public transport, and that takes me back to when I used to regularly take the train.

Enheten by Pastoratet, and unless you know swedish, probably not

If you want to audibly groan, I cannot recommend this Siivagunner mash-up enough.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

My daughter and I have been listening to Jesse Welles' (Under the Power Lines versions) of Autumn and Anything But Me quite a lot. Certain is also fire, but a little too political for my 6-year-old to grasp.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

The Dillinger Escape Plan : One of Us Is the Killer

Yes... if you're into harsh music.

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The third movement of Mendelssohn's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in E Minor, with Hilary Hahn on violin. It's an absolute banger.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

“Taxi to Baltimore Dub” by Scientist. It has an interesting genealogy: Randy Newman’s song “Baltimore” was done as a reggae cover by Nina Simone, then covered again by an actual reggae band called The Tamlins, which then got remixed/dubbed by Scientist. If you listen to Newman’s and then Scientist’s, they’re effectively unrecognizable in relation other than lyrical snippets. I absolutely recommend it.

Anything by The Flashbulb right now.

Absolutely.

I Spy - Dead Kennedys. Yeah it's a good tune

[–] DrCat@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

ADDERALL by maezi666 . It’s good but you have to like the nightcore adjacent music.

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 6 points 2 days ago

Mine is Divide and Conquer by Epica, and I would defs recommend it. It's not their best song I think, but it's still good and it's off my favorite album of theirs.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

Chemlab - latex

Yes

[–] beliquititious@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Currently I'm listening to Tom Waits' 1983 album Swordfishtrombones. The specific song playing is Frank's Wild Years although it switched to the title track while I was writing this comment.

Waits for sure has some great songs, but he's an excellent album artist and I would recommend Swordfishtrombones. It's one of his best albums and I would whole heartedly recommend it. Mule Variations, Bone Machine, and Rain Dogs are also fantastic albums. Fair warning though, Tom Waits is very polarizing, you either love him or absolutely hate him.

Melissa, Mercyful Fate. Yes.

My friends talk... And only if you like magic the gathering.

Bridge of Death - Manowar

Would I recommend it? Uh... how's your sense of irony?

"Prisoner's Awakening," from the Dead Cells soundtrack, which frequently comes up on my workday playlist. Definitely recommended, that game has an amazing soundtrack. Instrumental, varying from orchestra and acoustic guitar to sometimes electric guitar and synth (or, synth-like?) tracks.
