General Music Discussion II

[Corrian]

edit: listening now

edit: loved it! Especially the Unwinding Hours!

I really dig Lauren Mayberry's accented singing in Blue Sky Archives {And CHVRCHES), but I definitely think as a whole The Unwinding Hours is a better band. And I really like the singer in that, too, anyway.

The best Blue Sky Archives songs out of their 3 EP's are this, this, and this.

And if you like The Unwinding Hours, you might like Aereogramme, as well. Both of the 2 members of The Unwinding Hours were in Aereogramme.

Trying to break my record for most new albums listened in one day. 10 am and already on fifth album.

EDIT: 12 hours left and 11 albums behind of my record, I can at least tie with it

Good luck!
When I tried to do that, I made it through 26 albums in a full 24 hour session.

Hard to do full 24h since I woke up at 6 am

It's still fun to do from the second you wake up.
When I did my session, I literally drank so much coffee that I was able to go for about 14 more albums before I needed to go to sleep. I was awake for a whole 37ish hours listening to albums.

Only break was about 45 minutes when I cycled to town to get something to eat. Probably taking two ~5 minute breaks to eat more later

I made sure I had everything I needed. I had the coffee maker, a fridge, and a microwave to ensure I'd need no break.

I can't be THAT dedicated. I can't sit down at my computer and listen to music for that long without going insane. I'm very restless...I did 17 albums and was like asleep through the last 2. I don't think I'll be trying to do any more than that ever again.

This will be really tough. Normally I can't stay on pc, or even inside more than 6-8 hours in a row. I just need to get out!

That part isn't so hard for me. I spend way too much time inside. Though it is becoming more and more difficult for me now lately. Which is a good thing. I keep having the urge to go outside and work more. Even when I should probably take a break for a day because of wearing myself out...Case in point me being completely wiped out the last 2 days from yard work but I go outside anyway.

[Corrian]

The guy behind Igorrr seems interesting...His pet, which he's done photoshoots with and everything, is a....hen.

He even has a song with chicken sounds in it.

We own chickens and consider them pets, and not food, but this is a whole other level of socialization with your chickens

So I got Nimrod by Green Day from the library. I think I'm really starting to like punk (granted it's pop punk, but it's still my third punk album).

I recommend checking out Bad Religion if you're starting to get into punk.

Geez. I don't even think I have enough short albums left to even attempt 22 albums in 17 hours. And I get up and wander and screw around too much to just sit there listening to albums for 17 hours straight

I think my 17 consisted of a lot of short albums.

Congratulations!

Do 5 albums a day for 4 days and you should be done!

[Volmachtia]

So according to last.fm, I listened to 61 individual albums at least once this month.

Damn.

You can check that?

I doubt mine would be that high this month but now I'm curious what previous months would be like for me...I had some that would probably be in the 100's.

Punk is good for those times when i'm pissed off or have a lot of energy haha. Check out Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Pennywise, The Minutemen, and Henry Rollins' solo stuff and his stuff in the Henry Rollins Band if you're starting to get into it, those are my favorite punk bands at least.

[Corrian]

I feel as if my parents dying made me change around my musical preferences quite a bit. I couldn't really bare to listen to things like thrash and death metal because they were so dear to my father, and I couldn't bear to listen to anymore old progressive rock as that was my mother's favorite. I don't know if my tastes have settled or I'm just getting older, or maybe even a little bit of both. But if it isn't heavy and sludgy then it's not my type of metal these days. And for rock music, I've become much more partial to post-hardcore bands (recently and most notably Quicksand) and softer space or alt rock like Hum.

Sorry about your parents

It's completely understandable to me. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happened to me if I would change around. Though I think mine would end up going down a route of depressing music, which I already love quite a lot but I could see myself liking the dark, depressing, sad, often times slow music more at that point.

I don't seem to have music tastes based off of certain moods. I listen to punk when I feel like it. Pop when I feel like it (Which can be happy or sad, actually, despite the stereotype that pop is all happy), and so on. I can't really say there's a specific kind of music I listen to depending on my mood. I listen to some of the saddest music when I'm in a good mood. It really doesn't matter.

Nice rankings on those Yes albums.

I just counted from the little albums tab on my profile.

Hmph, according to mine I've only listened to 31 individual albums within the last month. I feel like I've listened to more albums than that, but whatever. I guess 31 is still a lot if you think about it though - it's a new album each day.

[Corrian]

...I needed to go to January to see my albums of February

Counting EP's and soundtracks, I have 82 for February.

[Corrian]

Sooo, I started doing a count for every month I've had Last.FM for how many individual albums I've listened to...Numbers may be off from counting wrong.

December 2012
0 individual LP's, EP's, and soundtracks

January 2013
38 individual LP's, EP's, and soundtracks

February 2013
44 individual LP's, EP's, and soundtracks

March 2013
41 individual LP's, EP's, and soundtracks

April 2013
42 individual LP's, EP's, and soundtracks

May 2013

February 2014

This doesn't include anything from YouTube listening, either, which isn't a whole lot really.

Also, with the first month of Last.FM, I actually didn't Scrobble at all (Didn't know how), and learned how about a month later.

Damn, how much time did you spend counting those? I've been on Last.fm since June 2011 so I definitely don't have the time to count 3 years' worth of albums...

Looks like you started listening to a lot more music beginning in October 2013. Reason why?
