I don't know if this counts because I was listening to it in my head.



Something about the nipponification of western culture just feels right.

That would be amazing. We definitely need more social cohesion.

We definitely do. Appreciating the novel and the other can be quite difficult for some; it often takes wise eyes.

Good music is hard to scoff at though. Something about it transcends language.

And what we are listening to right now is a curious and reversely influential reflection of us. Nationalism is tied up in anthems, social, ethnic, and regional identity tied up in pop music. Even corporations have their own theme music. It can divide us or bring us together, depending on the content and the environment and the individual. On the whole though music seems to unite more commonly than divide, so more of it is probably a good thing (even if we have to sift through the mud and muck of the Bieber's and Cyrus's to locate the good stuff!).

I was sold three strums in.

I've got a thang for them blues, and boy them blues got him.

One more. This channel is fantastic:

Listening to Demon, prog-metal band.

Quite old, but good nonetheless.

Enjoy.

My dog. He is only about twelve pounds. But ounce for ounce, he would be the world champion of snoring canines.

Song's closer to my metaphysics than anything else I've read, I think.


[lyrics]

Time passed hard
And the task was the hardest thing she'd ever do
But she forgot
The moment she saw you


So it would seem to be true
When cruel birth debases, we forget
When cruel death debases
We believe it erases all the rest
that precedes


But stand brave, life-liver
Bleeding out your days
In the river of time
Stand brave
Time moves both ways


In the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
Joy of life
The nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
Joy of life


The moment of your greatest joy sustains
Not axe nor hammer
Tumor, tremor
Can take it away, and it remains
It remains


And it pains me to say, I was wrong
Love is not a symptom of time
Time is just a symptom of love


(And the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
Joy of life
The nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
Joy of life)


Hardly seen, hardly felt
Deep down where your fight is waiting
Down 'till the light in your eyes is fading
Joy of life
Where I know that you can yield, when it comes down to it
Bow like the field when the combs through it
Joy of life
And every little gust that chances through
Will dance in the dust of me and you
With joy of life
And in our perfect secret-keeping
One ear of corn
In silent, reaping


Joy of life
Joy
Again, around–a pause, a sound–a song
A way a lone a last a loved a long
A cave, a grave, a day: arise, ascend
(Areion, Rharian, go free and graze
Amen)


A shore, a tide, unmoored–a sight, abroad
A dawn, unmarked, undone, undarked (a god)
No time, no flock, no chime, no clock, no end
White star, white ship nightjar, transmit, transcend


White star, white ship–nightjar, transmit, transcend
White star, white ship–nightjar, transmit, transcend
White star, white ship–nightjar, transmit, trans

Get this in your earhole, people. One of the best hooks of all time.

When the wizard speaks, you listen.

These vibes are just too real:

:fire:

Really loving this album

Superchill.

This song is about fucking on a beach

Healthy anger:

Also, most fire hip hop track in a few years:

Ahh, very nice! In the Synthwave or Tech Noir style, i think it’s called. I’ve listened to some of it. Very broodingly atmospheric and inspirational. Mostly, it inspires me to listen to music that influenced it. (And also to engage in nostalgia and pointless minutiae. :yum: )

The original score (as opposed to soundtrack, more about that below) from The Terminator (1984) by Brad Fiedel:




Some might be listening to the above video thinking “where are the other songs? Like the one in the Tech Noir scene? Or the song with the ironic lyrics: “it’s a machine... ya ya ya ya...” Well, AFAIK those would be on the soundtrack, as opposed to the score. Anyway the video below has two of the songs from the Tech Noir scene. Songs by Tahnee Cain and Tryanglz. One song is at beginning of video. The song Burnin in the Third Degree is the last song (about 32:35). Enjoy! And remember... if a naked man from the future asks for your clothes, do not argue with him! :snicker:
