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

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

Anything by The Flashbulb right now.

Chemlab - latex

Yes

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

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours 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.

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.

I ain't missing you at all

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.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Hell yeah.
But I dislike the records. I am instead listening to the hourly background tracks.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I've had the 24 hour tracks play while working before, haha.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

They are great for background noise (who would have guessed :p)

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

The quiet fan in the bathroom.

im rawdogging the ambient sounds of public transport

[–] trem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours 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.

[–] tangled_cable@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Thank you, this is great 👍

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 hours ago

Sounds like you are in the station and someone whipped out their keyboard.
Neat!

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 hours ago

I am listening to the raw sounds of my own ambient recordings.
What I have recorded so far: Waves at the beach in Calabria, Italy and the nightly concert of frogs and crickets in Sri Lanka

I use them if I have trouble sleeping

I don't have the album link, but I got the individual link to the song I was listening to while I found thus question: Last Words by nostraightanswer. It's part of their Specters album, which I have on CD and LOVE, so yes I recommend it. This song happens to be about the fear of others passing away.

It's my maybe 4th favorite in that album behind Empty ( about depression ), Lies In Their Blood ( school shootings ) and Face to Face ( dealing with a stalker ). It's a pretty serious album that manages not to be super dreary throughout the whole thing. Would recommend.

[–] tangled_cable@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead. If you're feeling sort of like one just now. Pay attention to the lyrics

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Me too. I just woke up with it one day. Life didn't suck enough apparently.

Pelagic by Covet

Absolutely recommend, very chill instrumental math rock.

[–] ElReatonVaquer0@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago
[–] TheLastOfHisName@piefed.social 3 points 10 hours ago

Absolutely.

The Green Fields of France by The Dropkick Murphys

Barry Mann - Who put the bomp? because somebody referenced it in the !tenforward@lemmy.world thread about James R. Kirk's middle name.

Kinda fun as far as '50s pop goes, I guess.


Edit: Now I'm about to go listen to "video killed the radio star" because I double-checked the tenforward link was correct and found a thread referencing that in there too. Why is it unusually musical tonight?

[–] vanitasvanitatum@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Rick James Super Freak lol

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I like Decay, it's a good song.

[–] DigDoug@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

Feels like somebody just set a speedrun world record.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 5 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] trem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

This one: https://open.audio/library/tracks/434296/

Wouldn't particularly recommend it, though. 😅
You can tell that it's an instrumental track with the vocals missing.

Here's the song with vocals: https://www.joshwoodward.com/song/SymmetryandthePocketofAngels

I certainly like other songs from the guy better, though...

Orange Juice Jones by JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown

Hell yeah. It's dope.

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 hours ago

Deathwatch (Warhammer 40,000) by Jared Moreno Luna

7/10. It was great background music while playing Satisfactory, but now that I'm actually focusing on it, it's pretty repetitive. Playlist started with Starcraft music - also a pretty good match for Satisfactory!

[–] mosspiglet@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Do Hot Girls Like Chords? by Knower

Yes. Sort of Prog/Funk/Jazz. Mind blowing musicianship.

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 hours ago

Rain out the window, 100% recommend

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Ships in the Night by Be bop Deluxe

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago

Gary numan, Savage. So good . before that, NIN, Fragile

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 3 points 12 hours ago

Bridge of Death - Manowar

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

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

battle beast - touch in the night. It's a powermetal song, and yes, i would.

[–] isyasad@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

It doesn't have a title but it goes like "Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click."
It's my ceiling fan. I recommend it if you're hot.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

The Dillinger Escape Plan : One of Us Is the Killer

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