What Are You Listening To Now?

[Orlion Blight he/him]

Only funny songs like the following: 

 

[Eluvianii he/him]

"Looks fun, but it can't be that good" 

-Me before starting chapter 2

The delightfully different, fabulously freaky, and wonderfully witty Will Wood:

 

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

My FBI agent seeing that I'm listening to Avicii piano covers again: oh, this girl's lonely.

Fun fact: the Jova Musique cover of Waiting For Love feels like getting picked up and spun around by someone you love.

[Maddie The Survivor she/her]

I’ve been listening to…. 
Olivia Rodrigo?????

I’ve had a recent catastrophe with a boy, and her music helped me get over it. It might sound really childish though 

I really like her music, she has break-up songs, jealousy songs, forgiving songs. 
 

It’s all pretttyyyy great..

The prettiest song ever made, if you disagree post a riposte, the proof's in the pudding as they say (at least those people who fancy pudding are always saying it, myself included).

Here it is, The Origin of Love, from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

@Spren of Kindness that Jova Musique Waiting For Love was great!

Nald'thal's theme 'In the Balance' from Final Fantasy XIV. Masayoshi Soken is a musical genius. I especially love the clinking coins in the song. Nald'thal are the Twin Gods of Commerce and the Underworld in XIV lore so the coins are a really neat touch. 

 

[The Sibling she/her]

Carbon Leaf (Always)

The Decemberists (Sometimes)

Led Zeppelin (Wearing a Led Zeppelin T-Shirt right now)

Dan Mangan (Don't have anything to put in the brackets...)

[Robin Sedai she/her]

I made the mistake of listening to a couple of football anthems. Please, somebody help me get these earworms out!

Vindaloo... vindaloo...

[Eluvianii he/him]

Unlucky Morpheus' new album

The guitar/violin solo in Serene Evil replenishes my lifeforce.

@Eluvianii I love Welcome to Valhalla, I really like how she draws out each syllable "Welcome to vall-e-hall-a". Good stuff!

@Orlion Blight I was listening to Fresh Air on NPR, and Teri Gross was interviewing the musician Richard Thompson who was in the seminal British Folk band Fairport Convention (and coincidentally whose bassist went on to form Steeleye Span). And they played an excerpt of the song Crazy Man Michael from their most acclaimed album Liege and Lief, and it is phenomenal, and I thought of you and your recommendation of Long Lankin, so here is another one, back at ya, enjoy:

And in the interest of full disclosure, the SD card on my phone that had all my mp3s gave up the ghost, it went kaput. So the only albums I put on my phone after this tragic event were the complete discography of Okkervil River. And I have been listening to their concept album Black Sheep Boy pretty much non stop for a week and a half.

I tell you all this because you should really listen to this album. It's quite possibly the best album of all times, I kid you not. Check out this track, So Come Back, I'm Waiting, which has my favorite line in any song:

He lifts his head handsome, horned, magisterial.

He's the smell of the moonlight wisteria.

These lines are about the eponymous black sheep boy, the whole album is also about the black sheep boy, and is so very good.

The rhyme scheme carried throughout the song is subtle but brilliant, give it a listen, it might just change your life.

I've recently been introduced to Bill Wurtz, who sings peppy songs about weird/sad things. He's funky and I love him. Plus, the echo dot plays him without Amazon Music Unlimited!

And Kenny G! Very nice to chill to.

[Thornlight]

Lots and lots of Red Hot- all the time!

though these past two days I listened to In The End by Led Zeppelin in loops (such a great song!!), tucking also Numb here and there.

Recently I wanted to interduce myself to more songs by artists I like (is it the right expression?), but I just don't know ho,. I mean.. I have those mixs on Spotify but most of the times I don't have patience to listen to songs I don't know  (so my source as for now is what my brothers hear that I like)

 

[AlmaAlida]

Thanks for your article, if you want to listen to the new audio again

[Hollow Graves]

Is nobody else listening to villain music playlist? If you are, sunsetdreams on YouTube does some pretty good ones.

Or am I just the weird kid who does that to get into the villain mindset for writing?

[Robin Sedai she/her]

British commercial radio at radioplayer.co.uk. If anyone knows of good American radio stations for listening to music, I'd be happy to give them a try!

The only radio I ever really listen to is the local classical station. If that's your jam, then classical89.org has you covered!

[Robin Sedai she/her]

I'm not really into classical music, but thank you!

Starting the day with this 

My excitement is going through the roof. The fact that we know it's a rearrengment album and they release one song a week until launch keeps the excitement fresh and I'm always wondering what will be next.

Then there's also the fact that they released the song list but we can only see the number of letters in each name, so we can try to guess which songs will be in it. It's like a game between them and the fans. 

Kinda reminds me of Stormlight releases to be honest. 

[Ironwill2112 he/him]

Ima giving modern rock a try. And I am listening to Weezer.

 

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

The Frostpunk soundtrack!  I have no idea how this got on my radar, but I really enjoy it.  I've listened to 'The City Must Survive' at least ten times now, and it's going to be great when I get deeper into my writing.

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Absolute Radio. The sheer inanity of the DJ's patter is comforting. I'd listen to the BBC, but it's blocked. Small things like this really piss me off irritate me. I hope I can get a VPN soon.

Edited July 30, 2022 by Robin Sedai
tsk tsk, profanity. Also, I have a VPN now and I'm listening to BBC Radio 2!

[Shining Silhouette he/him]

I'm a fan of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays. My piano teacher was Mays' protégé and helped on his posthumously published song Eberhard, which won a Grammy this year.

I highly recommend Eberhard as well as the composition The Way Up. Genius jazz compositions

[The Isochronism he/him]

Muse. Anything by Muse. They've been releasing some new songs in their "Will of the People" album, and almost every single one of their songs if phenomenal. 

Please tell me I'm not the only Muse lover here? But if I am, the rest of you have homework, especially if you like alternative rock/hard rock type music. 

Some of their best songs are: "Muscle Museum," "Starlight," "The Void," "Knights of Cydonia," "Mercy," "Sing for Absolution," and "Won't Stand Down."

 

Some other bands I like are Dream Theater (which is mostly metal and hard rock, similar to Rush and Metallica) and Two steps from Hell, (Which is instrumental music that sounds like it should be in movies or movie trailers.)

I do like Starlight! Maybe I'll finally take the plunge and check the rest of their stuff out.
