I also work in an OR and Spotify does the same thing. We will just leave on something like 80s rock radio playing over night and when we come back the next morning we hear Snoop Dogg blasting from the same playlist lol
They were supposed to open for Iron Maiden when I saw them last year but had equipment issues or something and couldn’t play :( I was looking forward to seeing them. Their music is sick.
I love Lord Huron but I’ve always thought of him as folk rather than country, personally. Do you have any examples of country artists who’ve inspired him? I generally dislike country but I haven’t really given it a fair try and that sounds like a good place to start
No worries, and definitely agree a lot of the vibes are shared between folk and country. Just feel like I should give country music a fair shot eventually because of how much I like folk, and “Lord Huron influences” sounded like the least likely to make me feel like I’m being waterboarded with used motor oil lmao
Something like a YouTube video/music link can be ripped trivially with yt-dlp. Google doesn't force me to interact with their shitty tracker-ridden UI, spotify does (unless i use some sketchy third party site).
just google it and just listen to some music instead of being an incel about it
Yeah, that's the saner option. But DRM, online tracking, ads, and unnecessarily bloated websites are still quite concerning. Using these services more only helps them make it worse. Plus, I'm on an ancient computer; spotify runs slow as hell for me.
Sorry for being an incel again, but please try to make it more accessible. You could:
Include the song's name, makes it easier to search
Link the song in a website that doesn't have heavy DRM
I know, I know: "it's a shitpost..." But there's not a single type of music that sounds better at full blast. And if you inflict your music on others in public instead of using headphones, you're an asshole.
There's a special place in hell for any person playing any sound loudly in public places. Recently there was some dude scrolling TikTok at full blast in the train. I'd rather have any form of continuous music over that distracting bombardment of random sounds.
I saw the London Symphony Orchestra play Holst's The Planets at the Royal Albert Hall at the weekend. We were sat right up by the organ pipes, so when they started rumbling it was absolutely incredible.
Not to down Tibetan throat singing, because that shit is awesome, no shade to my girl, either, because she said she listen to all types, she didn't say she liking all types. She hasn't left the table!!
I (not Indian) used to play Hindi film music on my stereo at college at top blast. It's actually very listenable overall, but the women singing in falsetto can be hard to get used to -- it is one of the most penetrating sounds on earth. Everybody on my floor hated the living shit out of me.
I’d really like to see a “where are they now” for that trio of actors who did this photoshoot. I’m sure someone interviewed them for a “I was in a meme” video…
We went to a concert of Tibetans doing the throat singing and it was cool as fuck.
Introspective arythmic diddly jazz is my music kryptonite. Similarly, the taqsim that is the opening part of so much good Egyptian music. It sounds abusively selfish to me. I do like a diverse array of genres but picky about jazz, or anything without a rhythm.
I opened this expecting some straight nonsense and I'm not usually one to compare wildly different types of music but... this has a 1000x more soul and spirit than the most awarded pop singer in the anglosphere - Taylor Swift.

Tibetan throat singing is some good shit.
Tuvan Throat Singing
https://youtu.be/qx8hrhBZJ98
It's actually very soothing.
Add a dash of DAW and it becomes an incredible fusion of old and new
i do like The Hu.

Wolf totem is balls to the wall amazing. Will change the mood of any room/car instantly for the good.
Wolf totem is one of my gym music!

I like Tengger Cavalry
Nine Treasures represent
Mongolian metal is wicked but the people on the train hate it
For a while I listened to techno combined with Mongolian throath singing, it was pretty good actually.
Ummet Ozcan is worth a listen
Mongolian rap too!
Also Arab study-music.
Both bangers
https://youtu.be/KgVEZkY0md8
All my homies love the Hu.
Yuve yuve yu.
Came to make sure someone had mentioned The Hu
Introduced to them via Star Wars.
Better than country

Hick Hop
u havent actually listened to country then
Country was supplanted by stadium country like 20 years ago.
That's a low bar...
Mongolian, but it's a vibe
https://open.spotify.com/track/2ylpbsHqGUAv3za4JkyMgz
E: touch some grass if a Spotify link triggers you
The Hu - cover of "The Trooper"
If Mongolian throat singing metal is your thing then there's more good stuff from The Hu:
Wolf Totem
Yuve Yuve Yu
Shoog Shoog
Sugaan Essena (Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order)
Oh, there is actually a band called "The Hu." I thought glitchdx was joking.
They gain fame through memes like this mostly. They’re also pretty good actually.
If you must use Spotify, you could at least not link to it.
Just listen to some music and get over it
Ew nah fuck Spotify
Any more than YouTube? Google isn't exactly a beacon of virtue
Thing is, you don’t need an account for YouTube to work. And if you use an adblocker, it’s actually pretty hassle free too.

Take this as nicely as possible, but just google it and just listen to some music instead of being an incel about it

If you use open backed headphones, you can enjoy your music at its best quality while also sharing it to other people sharing your bus. Win-win!

In Ireland, we've recently introduced fines for that sort of thing.
Are they applied?
People do that shit in restaurants here, its so bad.
Classical music. Classical music sounds better at full blast. Anything with either organ or orchestra. Blast it.
i think we should go back to organ music only being played live on actual organs, which are audible in a 10km radius
I saw the London Symphony Orchestra play Holst's The Planets at the Royal Albert Hall at the weekend. We were sat right up by the organ pipes, so when they started rumbling it was absolutely incredible.

Make it that trap beat Mongolian shit and Im down

Adjacent: bitchin remix of the sardukar throat singing chant from dune
I posted this in another comment, but the remix is a must-listen if you haven't heard it before.
Mongolian throat singing is nothing.
Gotta whip out modern classical music.
I like studying to Penderecki myself.

Rolling through Diablo type dungeons or silent hill levels lmao
Morf is a good way to introduce more mainstream-centric people to the sound of throat singing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iN1QsDgSZw
That was a neat watch
is that the same lady from the boyfriend looking back at the lady in the red dress meme?
Yeah, they are models for a stock photographer - https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/antonio-guillem
It's pretty funny because all three of the models in the distracted boyfriend meme are used in a bunch of situations
The walking girl is the girlfriend's dentist
The couple works together and the fallout is awkward
The dentist tries to apologize to the girlfriend, but girlfriend only pretends to forgive her
Etc.
Didn't someone make like an entire story from all of these at one point? I remember it being a bit of a stretch but still funny.
I’d really like to see a “where are they now” for that trio of actors who did this photoshoot. I’m sure someone interviewed them for a “I was in a meme” video…
Ummet Ozcan is pretty good if you wanna introduce throat singing to someone who prefers techno.

The Hu are pretty awesome. Blast me some sweet Chengis Khan.
I played their version of The Trooper on my radio show last week. Seemed go down very well indeed.
Huun Huur Tu is from Tuva, not Tibet
Yes and it's a different style
Fuck yeah Tengger Cavalry all day!
All music? Even songs of hatred written by the ku klux klan?
Erin, are you even hearing this?
I said I listen to everything! Yes, that includes Skrewdriver!
Throat singing is cool. Try blasting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_noise instead.
I'll listen to it, it doesn't mean I'll like it. If you can tell me what you like about it, maybe I'll also like it.
We have both kids of music here, Country and Western.
Popeye was a Tuvan:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqlQJOifTZg
This sounds actually pretty good, not gonna lie. Better than those remakes of classic songs
on the topic of music... the title of the post makes me think about one song in particular
I feel like my mom made this meme, lol (She'd be on the "me" side)
Let's go!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0kCTc7Mdkb0&list=RD0kCTc7Mdkb0&start_radio=1&pp=oAcB
Try Qawwali devotional music or traditional Balinese music
If anyone claims this you make them listen to “M97002 Hardcore” by PJ Proby.
I've always liked choir music. Honestly might change the Civ sound files to add this
Maybe not the second one lol
