The Music Thread

[James Stevenson]

Gunna crash this looks-like-a-pop party with my favorite band, since I'm listening to them right now.

And their older, more turntably stuff:

Man, did I post these guys before?

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Pepe Deluxé is awesome! Still sad that Queen of the Wave isn't on Spotify. Awesome album! Also, this:

Back to Saint Motel: My Type is an awesome song, but this video clip is even better!

 

[spicewitch]

Slower tune. Kimya and Aesop are pretty brilliant, but collabing they're fuckin PB & Choc squared.

Faster tune! Aesop Rock does a collab with the mountain goats at the end of this album! But I like this song better.

 

[James Stevenson]

(good music)

yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaah Aes is awesome! The Uncluded worked really well, I hope they make more music together!

Aesop Rock has a collab with Nike a while back for like a 50 minute run track. I've had it on my ipod forever, listened to it every now and then, but now that I've started running at the gym it's pretty much the only thing I listen to while on the treadmill. And I hate cardio. Somehow 15-20 min isn't so bad when I'm just trying to focus on the beats and breaks.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Fuck it

 

[Jason Waddell]

A lot of those things are in fact weird, Jason Derulo.

 

[Chris Taylor]

Oh is that the stupid one where he is reminded of <Celebrity> <Noun> constantly?

 

[James Stevenson]

I hear video game soundtracks are good for concentrating, so I've been listening to this one while I've been writing this personal statement I need for a masters:

Any other recommendations? Amon Tobin's soundtrack for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is badass, but not too good for concentrating.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Oh is that the stupid one where he is reminded of <Celebrity> <Noun> constantly?

Yes. And he sings in a high-pitched voice. And he and his love interest are continuously interrupted by annoying trumpetists. And I still like the song, sorry

 

[Chris Taylor]

Hey, we've all got weaknesses. You know that violin shwing from call me maybe? Involuntarily makes me love any song, regardless of quality.

 

[Eric Chan]

Bastion is one of my favourite games of the last gen, and that soundtrack is boss!

I really like the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack, too. It's super cheerful.

 

[Chris Taylor]

Oh bastion makes my heart feel good. I love some old westerny sounding music, but there's so much more going on in the sound design of that game. It's all amazing

I fuckin love VGM.

I don't use youtube for music, because it makes my computer unnecessarily hot and slow, so these won't be youtube links. SORRY, but not really sorry, about that.

DDRKirby makes some hella dope remixes. These are my 2 favorites.

He also has original works on Bandcamp, which means you can throw him a dollar and download it all in good quality. Bandcamp is great.

Unfortunately the artist for Shadowrun's music doesn't use bandcamp, but soundcloud is almost as good. His demo reel has some cool stuff in it; I REALLY like the Menu Music Loop for Golem Arcana.

I've listened to the Dustforce sountrack over, and over, and over. Haven't played the game yet. Pillars of Pepper is my fave.

All of this is good: http://benprunty.bandcamp.com/
This is mostly good: http://tigerstyle.bandcamp.com/

For HW/studying I've used this track a lot over the last 3-4 years. So soothing.

And as for video game music, I would often just walk around this level back in middle school just to listen to the track. So good.

 

[Diakonov]

 

[Eric Chan]

That was a game I could not get into, despite really trying to multiple times. It felt too hipster to me, for lack of a better term.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

I loved Sword & Sorcery. The constant nagging about tweeting your progress is kinda annoying, but I love everything else about that game.

 

[Diakonov]

That was a game I could not get into, despite really trying to multiple times. It felt too hipster to me, for lack of a better term.

I know exactly what you mean. Some of the dialogue is unbearable, particularly the host/narrator. Looking past that, though, I thought it was a really wonderful game. The aesthetics somehow create a feeling of wonder that makes me feel like a little kid again.

 

[shamizy]

Did someone say unbearable dialogue?

 

[Onderzeeboot]

God, her Talk to Strangers album is heavenly. Lazy Sunday afternoon bliss.

 

[Lucre]

old cutie fave

 

[Diakonov]

I'm really looking forward to hearing the new Blur album.

The video is kinda boring, but I like the song.

I'm gunna do another radio show on Sunday, after like a year since the last one. 13:00 - 15:00 UK time. The music will be excellent, so tune in if you feel like it. icradio.com
