What are you listening to right now?

[MacZ]

I'm a big fan of ebm and industrial, but I can't listen to it in public. People hear the German and get very confused. Their human minds just can't comprehend such things.

It's not like we Germans are superhuman. Far from it. It's simply music for machines. Also the best EBM is from Belgium, while Germany is definitely more of an industrial country. Btw: Contrary to popular belief Industrial and Metal are not mainstream in Germany.

Now to what I'm listening to

Disclaimer: I like politically charged music. Sometimes that ovelaps with ethnic music. I'm not here to talk about such topics, I just wanna share music I deem at least interesting to listen to. The non-english-language songs have english subtitles on Youtube.

Right now this (WARNING: incorporates Black Metal)

Earlier today:

And before that:

And this morning:

 

[WrenFeenix]

I also like Korpiklaani. Sure wish I could understand Finnish.

The HU!!!!

 

[Redshark1]

I have just discovered and am currently loving this band both studio and live.

 

[MacZ]

I also like Korpiklaani. Sure wish I could understand Finnish.

The HU!!!!

Good luck. Finnish is so different from germanic, romance or celtic languages. 15 cases! English has 3, German 4, Icelandic 5, Latin 6.

The Hu are great. Wrote a paper on the Mongol incursion in Europe this year. Great music to work to.

Listening right now to a bit of personal nostalgia...

[honorstoise]

I am listening to the loud filter on my fish tank as the replacement parts that were supposed to be shipped have been delayed by a week lol

 

[Cheesecake]

You guys want a song that will be stuck in your head for all eternity? Listen to this.
My friend said it did indeed become stuck in his head for the rest of the day when I showed him.

The music video is mesmerizing.

 

[coralbandit]

I am in ! stella1979 always digs Incubus !

I know I usually do threes but youtube said toss this in Tom so ? I am a bottle of fizzy water if you really listened .Just a phase that will be over soon !

 

[angelcraze]

Metal fan here. Can't listen to other music put out after 2000 lol. Well, few exceptions. I do like music from the 1970s and 1990s though.

I like music with substance, something a little more technical. Most things sound so boring lol!

Also I've grown a real love for Euro metal. You can tell right away the difference between American and Euro

What i'm listening to atm

Can't stop watching Alexi's fingers!
In high school, they were told they'd never amount to anything Most ppl just don't understand.

You have to listen to it loud on good speakers tho!!!

But this is probably my favorite band, a progressive American band that's been around for a long time-TOOL


Their music is actually mathematical! And Maynard's voice is breathtaking, nothing matches it imo.

I've seen both these bands multiple times, I'll travel a bit to see them whenever they are around Love festivals and live music!!!

WrenFeenix I just got to see KorpiklaanI open for Eluveitie in October in Montreal. Really fun folk metal

 

[coralbandit]

The full moon made me do it ;

 

[MacZ]

WrenFeenix I just got to see KorpiklaanI open for Eluveitie in October in Montreal. Really fun folk metal

Especially Eluveitie. They play in a venue approx. 10miles from here every year. They are really worth it. Followed them since when they were still playing every godsforsaken venue in europe just to get exposure. The former bass player told me they were massively in the red numbers when they signed with Nuclear Blast. I'm so glad they made it. Also the singer has given lectures on gaulish history and culture. For once a pagan metal band that know what they're singing (about).

Listening right now:

 

[juniperlea]

There's a hole in the Bottom of the Sea ....... danny kaye!!!

 

[honorstoise]

Let's end this decade how we started it. With these instant classics!

 

[magnusjones]

Well... SkI Mask the Slump God goes pretty hard.
Bruh why does no one else here like rap?

 

[MaximumRide14]

Bringing back Welcome to the Black Parade, MCR reunites at the end of the decade after being gone since 2013

 

[Cheesecake]

Well... SkI Mask the Slump God goes pretty hard.

I do. Just haven't posted any.

Because it sucks. Just kidding, but I would like to hear some good rap newer than 2001. Share some if you got some!

 

[bizaliz3]

I lost all respect for today's rappers when I saw one LIP SYCING on an awards show. Lip sycing rap!!!! I mean really????????

I shouldnt lump them all together though. That's not fair of me. I do feel that the rappers of the 90s were overall more talented though.

 

[aquafrogg]

Currently listening to corduroy by Pearl Jam

 

[MacZ]

Ouh... hard quest... I'd be interested too.

The worst was watching a video where they were lip syncing autotune It looked so ridiculous!

 

[Frisbee]

I’m on an epic battle music kick.

I saved the best for last, just listen to this.

Only rapper I listen to.

Yes! That is the only rapper I listen to. Mansion is my favorite.

 

[Frisbee]

 

[Cheesecake]

Yes! That is the only rapper I listen to. Mansion is my favorite.

Mansion is pretty good. I prefer Intro III or The Search (the song called The Search, not the whole album). I need to go back and listen to some of the songs from the album The Search.
This is a pretty good mix of Trap and Rap.

Babywipe by SkI mask the slump God. You'll notice how genius it is if you're mindful of the lyrics.

I guess it's a lot different because it's my era of music, being 15.

My favorites don't use autotune or anything. They are SkI mask the slump God, XXXTENTACION, and Mac Miller.

Thanks, I'll check it out when I have a chance to really listen. I like that your favorites don't use autotune. That was the pinnacle of dumbed down music to me and it really turned me off hip hop. I hope hip hop is moving away from it again.

I also guess it depends on if you listen to what's 'cool' or to what you just like. Or....if you like what's 'cool' or you just don't!

 

[KinderScout]

Right now? Canteloupe Island by Herbie Hancock - classic!

15, too. Kinda stuck on NF right now. It’s definitely a newer era of music, my parents look at me funny whenever I’m listening to something that’s not of the same flavor of the music they grew up with.

Hi, 17 here, not really caught up on any of the new music that is “in”. More of a classic rock person. What is NF?

Your parents, siblings, caretakers and or friends have been a good musical influence, then. I lost track of mainstream developments in the early 2000s.

For me it was the early '80's (with a few rare exceptions), and you're right about Sunflower 's influences.

 

[aquafrogg]

You’ll have to thank my boyfriend for that, he really got me into it back when we were 15. Before that I never really listened to music much at all

 

[Cold&warm]

Happy New Year to everyone!

Whenever I want to remind myself that I am getting old, I visit this music thread... .
Discoverered "Hey Paula" during a long-haul flight about a decade ago, thanks to the little screen on the back of the seat in front of me:

.
This Christmas season, while I was YouTubing I found out that more than half a century later they still sing it from time to time:

.

I guess that their friendship is like good (sweet) wine: it gets even better as years go by...

Edit: this evening, while listening to a compilation uploaded by thisboy91554, I made a double major discovery: "You do not know me" You Don't Know Me (Eddy Arnold song) - Wikipedia, and its author, Cindy Walker Cindy Walker - Wikipedia.
Of the many versions I have listened to, I prefer the ones by Cindy Walker herself, by Eddy Arnold who inspired and commissioned the song, by Jerry Vale and last but not least the one by Ricky Nelson. Here they are:

 

[ghostdawg]

I'm ole skool...

 

[MacZ]

Just listening to this and making mental notes for the next jamsession. I lately get to play the synthesizers and the hammond.

 

[angelcraze]

Yay! I like classic rock too Wait....what's classic rock for you? For me, it is the 70s.

Right now, listening to Gojira.

 

[Frisbee]

 

[MEWaters]

Sada Baby
lots of Sada Baby lmbo

 

[Cheesecake]

I don't know if anyone answered you question or not, but NF is an American rapper. I posted a couple of his songs on the last page of this thread I believe.
BTW, NF stands for Nathan Feuerstein.

This song always gives me goosebumps.

See if you can figure out who he is talking to.

 

[EmiliyaCossack]

I'm gonna be the weird one here. I listen to movie soundtracks, Christian worship and Red Army Choir, along with a random array of folk songs from Finland, Sweden, Scotland, etc. In their native languages. Like this is all I listen to all the time. I have all of the Red Army Choir...

That makes two weird ones then: I go - among others - from Snow White and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Christmas carols (all year long) and selected Christian songs to slavic - Polish and Russian - folk (song and dance) and classic (Hvorostovsky, Red Army Choir and others).

No way! There's literally no one other than my husband and I that I've met who listens to Slavic folk music. It's so beautiful and bouncy, and fun to dance to! When I first met my husband he could get down and dance the Hopak, one of my favorite memories from our dating years. I loved singing Katyusha while he danced, great times. His back hurts too much now but we still have awesome memories!

I sometimes listen to slavic pagan metal and folk songs. Barely get a word but heck, there are some really impressive instrumentalists. Also finnish humppa is great!

Christian worship and Red Army Choir,

This combination is very much frying my brain right now.

But as we're talking about that area, Leningrad Cowboys, anyone?

(Ha! Even with the choir...)

 

[EmiliyaCossack]

This combination is very much frying my brain right now.

Hahaha I know, I know. I find the propaganda in Red Army Choir amusing, but they sing a lot of classic folk songs so beautifully. I know so many Slavic believers who could sing any number of the classic Russian songs, even the Soviet ones, because they're very historical. And Christian worship is hymns for me, hymns are beautiful and I like them more than modern. I have tons memorized.

 

[mattgirl]

Rising Phoenix by Kyle Mills read by Michael Kramer. Instead of music I listen to audio books. When I do listen to music it is normally something by Randy Travis. I have just about everything he has ever done on CD. My favorite has to be his Worship & Faith album though.

What a pity you two live so far away (I am based in Southern Italy and you, I guess, in North America). Otherwise we would have had fun: I love to sing and dance too. I would not be able to do the
Hopak, though. When I was young I put too much strain on my - then very strong - knees.

If I lived in California, I would audition with this chorale:

with the substantial risk of being turned down: they are all young people, many could be my children.
I heard the hymn the Slavic Chorale is singing, which opens Ippolitov-Ivanov's version of the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, live in 1995 in the Italian town of Loreto, sung by the Lege Artis Chamber Choir from Saint Petersburg:

:
They also sang the "Song of the Cherubim" by Bortniansky, both chants belong to the most beautiful things I have heard in my life:

It kindled in me the hope to master one day the Russian language. (I have a certain grasp of Polish: I spent 19 months in Poland, attending language & culture courses for foreigners. Classes were in Polish.)
Live the Song of the CherubI'm was infinitely more beautiful than on my laptop.
If you are Ukranian, you may like this video. The sound is better and more like how the Lege Artis Chamber Choir sang it back then in Loreto:

(I have a hunch it is the same choir that changed its name.)

I love listening to movie tracks.

Have you heard the secretariat soundtracks? Those are amazing! One of the best orchestral pieces I’ve ever heard.

I love that movie. you have know idea how many times I’ve watched that last race.

I’m not as big on hymns as I am Moder Christian music, but they sure are great. What are your favorites? Also, do you have any Christian bands that you like? I’m running out of For King and Country Songs as well as Skillet songs.

 

[ProudPapa]

I was listening to my Bonnie Raitt station on Pandora this evening while eating supper and watching my fish. She's my current favorite artist. It's anybody's guess who my favorite will be next week.

By the way, a few days ago there was a young person here who likes classic rock, and it reminded me of when my son was in junior high school and did his science project. He did something with replacing parts in an electric guitar, and had four pictures of guitar players on his report cover. After the judging was over one of the judges called him to the side and asked "Do you know who those four men are, or are they just random pictures you got from the internet?" My son immediately pointed to the pictures one by one and said "JimI Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton."

The judge said "You should get an A just for knowing that."
