A few years ago Spotify was convinced I absolutely loved Imagine Dragons and inserted them into EVERY playlist because I wrote a performance to Radioactive. I don't actually care for their music much. Though nowadays I download the song onto my phone to avoid that
This year it's The Birthday Massacre, which I'm actually perfectly ok with :)
Spotify, Play Music, and YouTube Music all try to convince me I like Imagine Dragons and Trampled by Turtles. No matter how many thumbs down I thumbs down them, they make their way into playlists.
Oh man I have that same problem in Apple Music! I make a playlist out of my set list and have it repeat all week until I have everything down, and then the algorithm picks from it for months after that.
I'm starting to think maybe I should use one streaming service for learning and another for enjoyment?
It gets stuck in my head a lot and I end up just putting it on.
Also maybe Skrillex - Bangarang
Because my go-to thing is when I'm in the kitchen with my wife and daughter I'll yell "ALEXA! PLAY BANGARANG!" And everyone groans. And then we listen to EDM for as long as it takes for them to leave me to work in the kitchen alone.
He has a bunch of random songs about random stuff. One of my other favorites is "I don't work here" and it's all about people assuming he works where he's at (grocery store, lifeguard post...) and it gets more and more absurd as the song goes on.
I'd recommend his YouTube channel, most of his stuff is pretty good.
that felt like something i had to endure, you listen to it a lot?
like his vocals and the music is good, no doubt, but do you find it pleasant to listen to? enough that you listen to it more than anyone else on the planet?
One of my favorite things to do when a cover of painted black comes on a movie is to tell the person next to me what a good song it is and then ask them if rest of the music by the artist sounds like paint it Black.
"what? no, i mean, that's paint it black".
" I know, it was great. but do the rest of their songs sound like that?"
"No, that's like, paint it black, by the rolling Stones."
Yep! I found him thru his Money Game series. At the time, he only had two parts. I slowly started listening to his other stuff and became a hardcore fan. Once Hi Ren came out, I was already all in. It hit so harddddd. The dude is extraordinarily talented. He's in my top 3 with Eminem and Residente.
Congrats on finding him! Assuming that he's a bit of a unique artist and we both like him, we probably have some fundamental traits or other matters in common, so hi similar person 👋😁
Songs mostly lost to time. I have others where I’m quite confident I’m the only person who listens because they really are lost to time and I may have the only existing copies. However, they wouldn’t be much less interesting to list here because no one could find them.
Not because it's the song so listen to the most, but because it's the most obscure song I listen to frequently. It's on every "summer" mix I make and just an absolute banger.
The Gates is great too, but I love the happiness of Enormous Penis. I also love thinking of those guys with the enormous pickup trucks and how they would love to follow the advice in the song to make themselves happy, but can't.
that is fantastic, I'm going to listen to that album now.
it reminds me of the end of some awesome action rpg I've been playing for 50 hours and defeated the boss and my character is walking off into the distance in the credits.
