ShadySands Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Son was singing the chorus for a solid 90 minutes while playing this morning. Then we listened to it but once later on in the day and that was followed by Blinding Lights and Take On Me.

bugarup Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I have Tidal and it only gives simple statistics without judging my genre variety or suggesting I should move somewhere. The only thing I was able to glean from it was that I disproportionally love soundtracks, so here's a piece from Altered Carbon (wished this lady played Takeshi Kovacs throughout all of season 2 instead of that dour humorless dude who did) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) I think I mainly listen to game soundtracks these days. I've never used any music streaming service, I guess Youtube counts though. I still have my mp3 player for that Edited December 4, 2023 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

ShadySands Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 I have Spotify but I'm a weirdo in that I only want to hear the one song I want to hear. If I want a playlist then I'll put on a playlist for that and if I want a random mix of similar then that's what I'll put on. To complain further, I used to like my Amazon Alexa because when I'd ask it to play Booty Butt Cheeks pt 2 the classical remix on Spotify then it would just play that song and stop unless I told it to repeat. Now it's just as trash as my Google whatever non-helpful devices. Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 This apparently popular video popped up in my feed. I like bass singers, so why not. I was only half-paying attention, glancing at video but mostly just listening, and it went like this: "Oh, there's four of them? ... they sound pretty good ... nice costumes ... are they a family of brothers or cousins or something? ... " Took me half the video to realize it was just one guy doing the video/sound mixing stuff. I lol'd at myself. Guy's got great range tho. 1 1 “Things are as they are.

Gromnir Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) growing up in the dakotas and doing ranch hand/cowboy work for much o' our youth and even some college, meant we heard lots o' country music... and bob seger. wish we were kidding about bob seger. got sick o' bob seger 'cause o' cowboy fascination with his work. the wild mustang roundup work we did for blm was hard, but needing hear bob seger +10 hours a day was excruciating. anyways, while am most assured not thinking o' our self as a country fan, our indoctrination resulted in us developing appreciation for a few artists such as linda ronstadt, lyle lovett and emmylou harris. ms. harris' hot band included such luminaries as ricky skaggs, dolly parton and albert lee, who looked like he should be part o' queen or the who more than a country band... does the guitar solo from the following chuck berry cover. edit: additional albert lee ownage Spoiler one from lyle lovett at the white house HA!
