A few years ago Spotify was convinced I absolutely loved Imagine Dragons and inserted them into EVERY playlist because I wrote a performance to Radioactive. I don't actually care for their music much. Though nowadays I download the song onto my phone to avoid that
This year it's The Birthday Massacre, which I'm actually perfectly ok with :)
Spotify, Play Music, and YouTube Music all try to convince me I like Imagine Dragons and Trampled by Turtles. No matter how many thumbs down I thumbs down them, they make their way into playlists.
Oh man I have that same problem in Apple Music! I make a playlist out of my set list and have it repeat all week until I have everything down, and then the algorithm picks from it for months after that.
I'm starting to think maybe I should use one streaming service for learning and another for enjoyment?
I got to see them live in a fairly small venue, he's just as exciting and dynamic as in all the videos.
I usually like knower better, but the gig i saw was a Louis Cole show, even though Genevieve was there as his main singer and even singing by herself sometimes, and I enjoyed all of it as much as i enjoy knower.
I didn't know almost anything that he was playing, I think they were mostly upcoming songs.
It gets stuck in my head a lot and I end up just putting it on.
Also maybe Skrillex - Bangarang
Because my go-to thing is when I'm in the kitchen with my wife and daughter I'll yell "ALEXA! PLAY BANGARANG!" And everyone groans. And then we listen to EDM for as long as it takes for them to leave me to work in the kitchen alone.
He has a bunch of random songs about random stuff. One of my other favorites is "I don't work here" and it's all about people assuming he works where he's at (grocery store, lifeguard post...) and it gets more and more absurd as the song goes on.
I'd recommend his YouTube channel, most of his stuff is pretty good.
i sent this to everyone when i first came across it.
i think it was the last thing i saved on reddit before jumping platforms. it all makes sense, i kept thinking it sounded like hycybh and then it popped up.
that felt like something i had to endure, you listen to it a lot?
like his vocals and the music is good, no doubt, but do you find it pleasant to listen to? enough that you listen to it more than anyone else on the planet?
Songs mostly lost to time. I have others where I’m quite confident I’m the only person who listens because they really are lost to time and I may have the only existing copies. However, they wouldn’t be much less interesting to list here because no one could find them.
One of my favorite things to do when a cover of painted black comes on a movie is to tell the person next to me what a good song it is and then ask them if rest of the music by the artist sounds like paint it Black.
"what? no, i mean, that's paint it black".
" I know, it was great. but do the rest of their songs sound like that?"
"No, that's like, paint it black, by the rolling Stones."
Yep! I found him thru his Money Game series. At the time, he only had two parts. I slowly started listening to his other stuff and became a hardcore fan. Once Hi Ren came out, I was already all in. It hit so harddddd. The dude is extraordinarily talented. He's in my top 3 with Eminem and Residente.
Congrats on finding him! Assuming that he's a bit of a unique artist and we both like him, we probably have some fundamental traits or other matters in common, so hi similar person 👋😁
Not because it's the song so listen to the most, but because it's the most obscure song I listen to frequently. It's on every "summer" mix I make and just an absolute banger.
The Gates is great too, but I love the happiness of Enormous Penis. I also love thinking of those guys with the enormous pickup trucks and how they would love to follow the advice in the song to make themselves happy, but can't.
that is fantastic, I'm going to listen to that album now.
it reminds me of the end of some awesome action rpg I've been playing for 50 hours and defeated the boss and my character is walking off into the distance in the credits.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS4NxiURhEw
Hey, that’s my guy!
Do you like Knower also, or just Louis Cole projects?
they're both great.
Yeah!
I got to see them live in a fairly small venue, he's just as exciting and dynamic as in all the videos.
I usually like knower better, but the gig i saw was a Louis Cole show, even though Genevieve was there as his main singer and even singing by herself sometimes, and I enjoyed all of it as much as i enjoy knower.

Areola- Tech N9ne
goddammit i chose not to see him at red rocks and have been regretting that for years.
I've seen him 6 times. Every time was awesome!
RIP being performed live...
Zero by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Moonage Daydream.
I would get rather scared if that would happen go me.
That's because I don't have a "my" music player and I don't listen to music regularly on a PC or phone.
Satan is Real by Kreator. I’ve just discovered them in the last couple of years, and they’re great, plus this video is very…something.
Donkey Riding by Great Big Sea. Currently my 2-year-old's favorite.

Oh that Royksopp is excellent.
If I'm on a bus somewhere and put this song on, I can easily listen to this song on repeat for 45 minutes while I trundle along.
I've done that many times, it has the perfect mix of haunt and beauty and excitement.
Tom Cardy - Active Perception Check
It gets stuck in my head a lot and I end up just putting it on.
Also maybe Skrillex - Bangarang
Because my go-to thing is when I'm in the kitchen with my wife and daughter I'll yell "ALEXA! PLAY BANGARANG!" And everyone groans. And then we listen to EDM for as long as it takes for them to leave me to work in the kitchen alone.
holy shit perception check was so funny, is his other stuff also like comedy d&d stuff? I'll listen to more Tom cardy.
He has a bunch of random songs about random stuff. One of my other favorites is "I don't work here" and it's all about people assuming he works where he's at (grocery store, lifeguard post...) and it gets more and more absurd as the song goes on.

oh! have you checked your butthole guy!
i sent this to everyone when i first came across it.
i think it was the last thing i saved on reddit before jumping platforms. it all makes sense, i kept thinking it sounded like hycybh and then it popped up.
absolutely solid gold.
Me at my house:
Daughter: "I don't know where my phone is"
Me: I don't say it.
Daughter: "DAD, I can't find my phone!"
Me: I still don't say it.
Daughter: Daaaaaad, do you know where my phone is?!"
Me: deep breath
hahah, me and my girlfriend still chant it at each other when we've lost something, that song has literally changed our lives.
haha oh man I'm going to make an evening of listening to the channel, thanks!

Collective Efforts - This Far
My proudest album discovery ever. The whole thing is a criminally overlooked masterpiece, in my opinion, but this song is how I found it.
nice, that is a comfortable listen, and the lyrical rhythm is so engaging, that bounce.
As off late, it would have to be Wake Up by Kowloon
Calexico - Flat Handed and on the Wing
Sweet True Lies by Beast in Black
huh, that's the purest metal boy band I've ever heard
I knooow but it's catchy as fuck and I can't help it.
for sure, super catchy, I'm curious this they came up with the sound, like how they decided to match those lyrics with that music.
definitely talented
Mondo Bongo by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1iOAqqjd05k)

Be more kind by Frank Turner (https://youtu.be/VwtAjv04pt8?feature=shared)

I discovered him through the Hi Ren video. He is so fucking good.

Tool - Lost Keys
H∆G - Past the stargazing season (English version)
It's fine. Sometimes this happens. A song gets stuck in my autistic brain and I'll play it non stop for days or weeks.
Parpaing by Igorrr probably. The song is a face melter. If I’m trying to lift a PR or run fast as fuck this song will get me to where I need to go.
Fucking awesome track. A good use of Corpsegrinder Fisher's vocals, and awesome 8-bit and glitch effects.
Ribcage - Crain
Ornithopters, by The Whiskers

"Great Summer" by What the Kids Want
Not because it's the song so listen to the most, but because it's the most obscure song I listen to frequently. It's on every "summer" mix I make and just an absolute banger.
Enormous Penis by Da Vinchi's Notebook.
That's #2 on my list, right after The Gates
The Gates is great too, but I love the happiness of Enormous Penis. I also love thinking of those guys with the enormous pickup trucks and how they would love to follow the advice in the song to make themselves happy, but can't.
Never gonna give you up
Intervals - Neurogenesis
that is fantastic, I'm going to listen to that album now.
it reminds me of the end of some awesome action rpg I've been playing for 50 hours and defeated the boss and my character is walking off into the distance in the credits.
memory palace and Circadian are both phenomenal albums (though their entire discog is great overall imo)
thanks, I'm going through circadian now
Nothing really, I'm not invested in anything to that degree

After raging and breaking my keyboard over my knee and hiring a lawyer to go after the music players creator for showing me a useless pop-up.
What was the question again?
Evan Williams - I'll Stick Around.
I don't often think artists are criminally underrated, but man this guy is so good, with a painfully low number of listeners on Spotify.
What does listening to that song do for your rage?
That's cool.
Why do you have ellipses before and after your username?
is there any reason why you only have two dots after your comments but start with three?
