What Are You Listening To Now?

[The Paradoxical Phenomenon he/him]

I listen to podcasts! Various pop culture, sometimes D&D, and political podcasts.

When I do listen to music I listen to either NF or alternative rock. Think Imagine Dragons. I actually am not that big of a fan of them, maybe more like Fall Out Boy.

Ooh which ones? I've listened to a little Critical Role and am on my second re-listen* of Not Another D&D Podcast campaign 1, since I'm fully caught up atm.

*Third time thru, counting the first.

Yeah, I very rarely listen to them, but some Critical Role is probably my favorite

Japanese Eurobeat is awesome

I enjoy the original, but this cover is amazing. Love these guys.

Just found this banger (was already a fan of Little Monster by the same band). 

Any other recommendations for tasty riffs (preferably not the ones everyone knows like ACDC or Led Zep).

Although speaking of ACDC, this is one people don't seem to talk about much and it's one of my favourite tracks by the band

After Laughter by Paramore - it's quickly becoming one of my favourite albums

[The cheeseman Don't you dare go Hollow!]

Defence of Moscow by Sabaton.

STAND AND FOLLOW COMMAND YOUR BLOOD FOR THE HOMELAND

[Silver Phantom he/him]

"The Saga Begins" --A Star Wars Parody by Weird Al Yankovic.

[Wittles he/him]

"Icarus" by Bastille is a really good song that's been in my head a lot. 

[The cheeseman Don't you dare go Hollow!]

The 'Eternity Beyond Forever' album by Secession Studios. I listen to a lot of their music, especially when I'm writing.

I've also started listening to a lot of Lorna Shore, an extreme metal band. They're very intense and screamy, but the intensity is really great for doing schoolwork or writing a fight scene.

I’ve been listening to a lot of George Harrison’s solo stuff lately, mainly All Things Must Pass, and I really love it.

The glitch mob remix for "Seven Nation Army" has been playing on repeat for a little bit now. It's a cool take on the original song which I also love.

[The Sibling she/her]

Les miserables 1985 London cast recording.

I am so glad to have been introduced to this video. The beauty of Eva Noblezada's voice combined with the power of Hozier's music gave me chills.

As for what I am currently listening to, most days I pick something out of the original Broadway cast recordings for Hadestown, Heathers, and Hamilton, the album Art of Doubt by Metric, or a playlist of my favourite jazz covers by Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox.

Best song ever

I'm listening to a speech about deepfakes.

[shortcake thr/eat ka/boom]

The Fall by Lovejoy and Inertia by AJR have been on repeat for over a week for me now

i love these songs

[Just-A-Stick she/her]

Home by Gabrielle Alpin!!!

ITS AMAZING!

  

[Use the Falchion]

I discovered EPIC: The Musical earlier today, and I'm having a blast...listening to the same three songs over and over again. "Just a Man" is my favorite and the one I've listened to the most. I heard part of it first in a triumphant context, so I thought it was a triumphant song...and then I saw the animatics...I still love it though. 

"The Horse and the Infant" has me utterly convinced of the "Child Champion" theory for Stormlight. I mean, I was before, but I now believe that there can be a LOT of emotional depth to it for Dalinar and others. 

"Get In the Water" is the one I've listened to the second-most. I heard the Morgan Clae audition version first and now I'm sort of upset that her version isn't the official version. (Or at least not yet, if one can hope.) The original version has Poseidon as sort of smarmy to me. The emotion is cold, but it almost feels like "I'm trying to hide revenge behind 'it's just business' and it's working" to me. The Morgan Clae version is pure silent, barely contained rage. There's almost a desperate need for revenge in there. It's just better in almost every way. (The second "get in the water" line from the original stands up to the Morgan Clae version, if only because it portrays a completely different tone, emotion, and character than the Morgan Clae one.)

Other than that,

"New House" by Toro y Moi

"Pink + White" by Frank Ocean (which really should have been on my 2023 music list)

The first half of FPS by Drake and J. Cole. I originally heard most of J. Cole's part from this silly animation about the switch in the second half of the song, and now after listening to the whole thing...I can't help but agree with it! They really didn't need the second half, to the point that it actively brings down the song IMO. 

"SDP (Interlude)" by Travis Scott. I saw a Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse AMV with the song and I've been hooked ever since. 

"this is what winter feels like" by JVKE is also really good!
