What instruments do my post office friends play? I've been trying to learn piano lately and after I practice I feel like I've made a little progress, but then I'll listen to a recording with a decent pianist and I get crushed because I realize I have such a long way to go. Oh well, just need to keep playing every day and I'll get there eventually.

Hello my brother. I play the drums as I have for the last 11 years.

>>201
I play bass! I've only been playing since mid december but I think I've made a lot of good progress so far. Being able to lock in with the groove of a song is so much fun, physically feeling the music is so different from just passive listening.

It can be easy to get discouraged when you have access to so many recordings of skilled musicians these days, try not to let it get you down, everyone starts somewhere! I don't know if this helps but I try to look to recordings as a sort of goal to work towards. Instead of getting discouraged I find myself motivated to keep working hard to reach the proficiency of the recording.

I also love learning music by ear, it's challenging but really rewarding. I get to hear all these tiny nuances when transcribing that I wouldn't hear otherwise. Here's part of a bassline that I transcribed recently: https://vocaroo.com/i/s0cY7lAwVTTQ

>>203
that's pretty great for just a few months of practice! I play both guitar and bass, getting used to bass was very easy after already learning with guitar, but I can't imagine how rough the first couple weeks of bass playing must be if you've never worked your fingers like that before.

One of my favorite things to do playing bass is put on a funk/soul record and just play along to the whole thing by ear.

As for my progress on piano, yeah it'll get better but after playing stringed instruments for 14 years and being pretty good at them, it's frustrating to be at a beginner level again. Just gotta put in that effort.

Fascinating thread in its longevity. Five years. I can only wonder who was here, where they've gone and what they're listening to now.

I like to go on youtube and look for underground music that I enjoy. There are so many channels out there that put forgotten/obscure indie music from the 90's early 00's

i can't stop listening to this:

Hello everyone, anyone else here is a fan of midwest emo? Really making me feel feels I've never had. Or that I just forgot.

Nakagawa no Music posts a lot of good stuff

I'm always looking for other Deadheads - We're unfortunately very rare in these parts of the internet.
Can't imagine why...

Been listening to oldschool videogame music lately. Also, happy weekend y'all!

I have a feeling Haruoumi Hosono is well liked here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl6NZduVL70&list=PL4NXUZspQ7Bz1yL7v90sj7tkaVzsAVwfW&index=5

>>216

I like Pacific better. His first album, Hosono House is excellent.

Devin Townsend's stuff is a bit hit or miss for me, but the good stuff really is good.

I've been playing guitar on and off for quite a few years. I'm still pretty bad due to not taking it seriously, but something recently clicked and I've been putting in a lot more playing time than I've done in years.

>>218
I agree. His stuff is a bit hit or miss, but I love his acoustic stuff.

>>218

I haven't been at all keen on much of his recent work (esp. Epicloud and Ziltoid 2), but I love much of Devin Townsend's older material. Even his first four DTP albums I really enjoyed. I'm weirdly fond of The Hummer, his foray into ambient.

I fucking love Heinous

how many people here are from 4ch /meal/

I've been listening to Soccer Mommy alot. Kind of a hidden gem I think.

I've been listening to the classic Doom music recently.

IU just had her 25th birthday. I hope it was a good one.

>>224
Check out Ichiko Aoba for more Ether. Particularly her 2016 album, Mahoroboshiya.

i live near detroit, there are worse interests she could have.

Have you found any cool music lately, friends? I've fallen in love with this band recently, and now all I want in life is to see them succeed and evolve.

>>228

Pretty good stuff!

I've been listening to a lot of memoryhouse.

I like it, reminds me of Tycho a little bit. The music video is really cool too!

>>203
Following up on this, I've been working through a new song and it's giving me some trouble, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

https://vocaroo.com/i/s0dEh1xY9KBm

Is anyone else learning a new song they'd like to share?

I'm listening to a CD I just bought of a local reggae band.
This isn't what I'm listening to, but it's on Youtube, so it's easy to share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1ogZeaByf4

Best soundtrack I've ever heard. Absolutely amazing movie as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrL3OAFLDuU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doW4s-1ULOc

>>237

Absolutely amazing movie as well.

I classify it as "one crazy night movie" together with After Hours and few others that I can't remember right now and Miracle Mile was the best of the bunch.

Tremendous stoner/psych EP:

Listen to this when you have a life changing experience, so much so that you can finally smile, even just a little bit.

I am a horse with no legs
I've been rolling around town since I was a small horse
Wobblin' and hobblin' and getting stared at by tourists
And I am here to stay until God calls me one day to go in the sky and I die
But till then I will roll and play and do the best I can
I know they sometimes laugh at me
It makes my mom cry but
I am not afraid of shame
I am cool with what I am
The other horses might be tall
And have super big legs
But unlike some of them
I am free and that is more important to me
I didn't expect to live this long
And I know it could still end at any moment
Everytime I think about it it scares me but just a little bit
Cause realistically there's a bunch of things that could have happened to me
And it's pretty cool to be alive at all
And I'll do the best I can to reach my goals but I don't get too
Anxious about it I try to stay calm and
Remember that a horse like me
Is still a fine thing to be.

my favourite is the track 'count five or six'

>>244
That's one of my favorite albums; I like New Music Machine a lot.

usually i'm more into Autechre if we're talking IDM-related music, but this song just brings me such emotion

>>190
Still havn't found 青春時代. But the artist was selling physical copies in person at a booth at some event in tokyo just the other day.
They released a new album, now a while back, though.

Stumbled upon this recently, whist looking for an Amon Tobin track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpmkyNgaT8k

/bʌmp/

I recently rediscovered Kayo Dot.
Their first two albums, Choirs of the Eye and Downsing Anemone with Copper Tongue, are as good as it get, some of the best music ever produced.
Blue Lambency Downward and a few albums that follow are also incredible, but took me a while to really get into.
The latter middle years sort of feel to me like they're trying to capture the magic of their first releases, but falling short.
Their latest album though, is a whole new trip - Totally different, but I really really like it.
Plastic House on Base of Sky
It's like if David Bowie got way in to Ketamine and Nitrous...

Last night I had some trouble falling asleep, I started playing around with a little portable radio and suddenly I heard this through all the cracking and fuzzy noises of analog radio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bb0k9HgQxc

Thought it was really nice.

I've been listening to UK Garage recently. New to the genre so I don't have any recommendations, kinda just taking it all in right now.
Anyway, it made me bust out the ol drum machine and make some beats on the commute, which is really fun.

I've been getting into a lot of jazz recently. Something sort of jazzy I recommend is David Grisman. He blends jazz and folk masterfully to make something really special. In particular, his rendition of 'Louis Collins' is quite nice.

Someone ported the Aersia Playlist Flash to HTML5!

>>261
I had forgotten that this player was even a thing. I had lost the bookmark and with it, my memories. Thanks for showing me thing again.

>>261
Wow this really takes me back, I remember playing starcraft 2 with this on in the background. That really must have been a while ago now. Thanks for sharing.

>>263
I'm sorry friend but I don't find this to be very cozy at all. I kind of wish I hadn't seen it.

>>263
I've been leaving this on at night to stop me from falling asleep. It's very nice.

Some nice ambient music (I think that's what you'd call this stuff) for you all to enjoy!

>>266
Thank you. I sometimes forget to slow down and listen to some ambient music, so this was well needed.

Been a fan of Zappa for a long time, I often cycle through his works and always find something to enjoy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUnwvvPe6j4

I've been listening to this nice vaporwave(?) album called One Hundred Mornings by Windows96.

>>269
Nice to know that Vaporwave is still alive, though it has evolved far beyond its roots. Anyway, for the Boards of Canada folks >>9 >>26 , it's always a nice time to listen to one of their gems:

>>268
Are you into Captain Beefheart at all? At first I wasn't but it grew on me. Particularly the song Candle Mambo sounds in the spirit of Zappa's stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvvZN98ggoY

I dunno if anyone else will like it but I've been listening to Tally Hall recently
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybxiMNAY35o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb_g-Hg88To
I listen to this while walking through the city.

Katamari Damacy has a nice fugue that I've been listening to sometimes. It makes me think of summer, this board, and my gf. I put it on the Local TV, but for when the channel changes, here's the song on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7R07hF0AuI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26lLZSKE6qc
I've got into this game after I heard this soundtrack randomly somewhere.

I usually listen every kind of music at once but lately I have been focusing on the career of susumu hirasawa, the guy who did Paprika’s soundtrack and Berserk’s.

I would recommend Double of the Wind and In the Square or Forces and Indra if you want some epic stuff.

Immortal Man from his early albums is kind of crazy too.

Muscular Japanese Jazz with roiling magma in its veins:

Everytime I'm in a slightly down mood and hear the tune of this movie, I can't help but smile.
It's a mystery to me, but something about this music helps me lift my mood, or at least, it helps me accept misfortune and smile at it.

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, the whole movie gives me this feeling.

Saw the symphony orchestra from Joe Hisaishi yesterday in Prague. I cried.

My favorite video game song of all time. Every time I hear it I can't help but feel at peace.

Minecraft Volume Alpha has been making me really nostalgic, and I kinda like the feeling.

>>287
It also helps that it's an amazing album regardless.

memphis rap

>>288
I found an old flash drive with some of the songs from Volume Alpha on it, taken directly from the game years ago. Excuse me as I go reminisce about Beta 1.6

this album is cool

*akina

>>297
I love Akina, but I don't think I've heard that song. What album is it from?

It's not my favorite, but I feel like the album of hers I listen to the most is Enka.

>>299

This one is from Cross My Palm, she sang the whole album in english. I haven't listened to her recent stuff yet, but I'll check out
