What Are You Listening To Now?

[DSC01 he/him]

Wow. 

Seriously.

[Sunbird she/her]

"Turning Away" as performed by the band Celtic Thunder.

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

YOU ALL NEED TO LISTEN TO JON BELLION'S SONGS!!! They are storming amazing

[marsoupial they/them]

Ok, there's this band called Dawes.

They're sort of indie/rock/folk/alt. 

They're my favorite band of all time. 

Anyone know of them?

If not, listen to them.

A trailer for a film reminded me of this and now I can't stop listening to it over and over again:

EDIT: Since my dad has a (really old) mixtape, now I'm not listening to one song over and over. I listen to a bunch of songs over and over.

Every single one is great.

Recently discovered they put out a christmas album a few years back!

I know those are old posts, but I just did a search for Christmas in this thread, and I'm loving that album so far!  Any other Christmas albums anyone is listening to, or other holidays?  I have Adam Sandler's Hanukah Song, but not really any serious songs for other holidays.

@Jondesu I am one of those weirdos who listens to Christmas music sporadically all year round, so I have some definite favorites.

"A Family Christmas" album by the Piano Guys

"The Christmas Rush" song by Mike Tompkins

"That's Christmas to Me" and "PTX-Mas" albums by Pentatonix

And of course "Wizards in Winter" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and their rendition of "Carol of the Bells."

Was recently introduced to Sigur Ros. Don't have a clue what they're saying, but damnation is it good!

YES. Jónsi, their lead singer, did the music for the movie We Bought A Zoo. I haven't heard the rest of their stuff, but that is one of my favorite scores of all time, and my uncle is a huge fan, so more likely that not I'll be looking into them at some point soon.

Some of the lyrics are in Icelandic, but a good deal of their songs don't actually have any real lyrics. They just sing sounds that sound like words but have no actual meaning. So depending on the song you're listening to, chances are, no one has a clue what they're saying.

It's called Hopelandic.  

As for what I'm listening to right now, while I'm writing I either will turn on Classical 89 (the local classical station) or Of Monsters And Men.

Grammar!

[Mistbornwithakitty she/her]

I'm always listening to something!  XD  My tastes lately have been lots of Christina Perri and Shawn Mendes.  Also, a large dosage of show tunes (but that's nothing new. lol). 

[marsoupial they/them]

Dawes, some related artists, and whoever happens to be in the weather section of WNTV.

[mattig89ch he/him]

Just picked up Swing Style, Vol. 3 off amazon.  And its really good.  I do find myself liking Electro Swing more and more.  Only trouble is, most of the time, I get bored of it rather easily.  So 3 weeks later, I'm done with the album.

Even still, every once in a while, a few songs keep me coming back.  Bright Lights and Late Nights by the Speakeasies, Shoot Him Down (Parov Stelar Radio Version), Is That Too Much to Ask? (feat. Nina Zeitlin), being just a couple of examples.

[Zathoth]

Oxbow - 1000

So gritty, dirty, noisy... I love it.

[marsoupial they/them]

Indie band from New Jersey called Real Estate. 

Very chill. 

They're gonna be in Knoxville (about an hour away from me) tomorrow, and I wish I could go but that requires money 

[Andarist he/him]

Mozart's music of the night.

Classical music is still my go-to for reading or working. 

[Sunbird she/her]

I've been obsessed with this epic electric guitar cover of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" (third movement) today:

This is sooo sooo good. Thank you very much for sharing. 

[Zathoth]

The Doors - Light My Fire

It took me way too long to start listening to them...

[Hood he/him]

Listening to 'Is This it' by The Strokes for maybe 50th time. It has become my favourite album ever. 

Favourite Track - Hard to Explain (second best); Someday; Barely Legal (best one); Soma; Take it, or Leave it; When It Started (don't have the NYC cops one); Is This It (nice opening track)

Okay-ish one - Alone, Together; Last Nite

[marsoupial they/them]

Hadestown. The 2010 concept album, not the Off-Broadway EP.

[Sunbird she/her]

"Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran. I love me some classic rock.

[Zathoth]

Joy Division - Ceremony

[Quiver he/him]

Great show, great singer, great song. 

(Sung by Shirley Manson, with the composer being Bear McCreary, for the curious.)

[The Invested Beard]

Fair to Midland - Arrows and Anchors.

 

[Oversleep]

I've made a playlist from Transistor OST (mainly composing of the tracks with vocal) and it's awesome.
