I have a habit of sharing songs with a friend of mine on an almost daily basis - figured I’d bring it here. Please share your favorite stuff too! Bandcamp links are great if available
babymetal!! I totally forgot I like metal, have a video I plan to post at some point ^^. Ok, getting thrown on today’s playlist.
Effortpost involves high energy music and it’s a low energy day, so, music that fits my day better:
I’ve been planning to make a “intro to music theory” effortpost using this song for… wow, 2 years now? My prompt was going to be “listen to this song - what are the 2 most important notes?”
And then go into basics of keys, scales, major vs minor, tempo, how the song uses all these things to set a mood.
I enjoyed Xenoblade 1 and 2, but dang 3 really kicked it up to a whole new level. The themes, the characters, the audio… they just nailed everything imo. Can’t listen to the music without remembering the adventure!
Jordana is a jungle/DnB musician who took off in the 90’s, she was (as best i know) the first trans person to get published in the genre and I fuckin love her music. There was a cohost post going round talking about her and that’s how I found out
My favorite song of hers is this one:
It’s a bit more intense than the rest of that album? More repetitive, more dissonance and stuff. Which is exactly why I like it!
( Playing the song and had to switch to better speakers, it’s so good it’s so good )
This music video just dropped the other day and it is a wild collab, got my blood pumpin like it’s 2007 all over again (there are some flashing lights, so if you’re sensitive to that maybe just listen to the music):
spent hours yesterday listening to this channel and Patrick Bartley’s main channel. This one’s going right now while i wrap up work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfP2LMnG6dw
