    Can somebody please make a bot that scrapes a comment thread and produces a Spotify Playlist with all song suggestions? Would be amazing for this thread!

    The same thing happens when I put my King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard discography on shuffle. Gotta at least sort by album or it’s chaos.

      Seriously. I saw them play a few years back and thought they were amazing. Some time later my friend put on an album in the car and my thought was, “what is this absolute garbage?” Same band somehow.

        Yea, they are good at many sub genres of music, but not everyone is into all of them, or just not in the mood for death metal, jam band, EDM, Folk, and microtonal kazoo music all at one time lol.

        (Saw them at Red Rocks last year for all 3 shows, everything was great live)

            I think they used a combo of self and indi publishing options early and then made their own label. They even released an album for free. So I assume they have low overhead, and just crank out albums.

            They also probably make a ton of money touring.

              Easy to go broke on tour, especially if you’ve a large band. Definitely helps they’ve their own label. They also seemed to have higher than norm ticket prices when they were in town here.

      Boogie rock, folk psych rock, thrash metal, electronica, and even a bit of hip hop.

      If you’re into weird French music, give Igorrr a listen: drum & bass, glitch music, extreme metal, classical female vocal singing gibberish with baroque influences.

      I’ve heard it called “Baroquecore”.

      Sometimes Youtube’s absolutely random recommendations go hard.

          Enjoy. There’s a “making of” for his latest album on Youtube.

          Dude built some instruments himself. He has an artist supporting him going “WTF is he going with this?”. And when pedals and weird amps aren’t enough for your guitar distortion, the obvious answer is to play it while the equipment is set on actual fire.

    When CD burners first became affordable, I made mixes.

    150 songs. I had a disk that started with pop, moved to metal, back to easy listening and ended with classical.

    What does everyone do? Insert mp3-CD and hit shuffle.

    Megadeath: Sweating Bullets -> Grieg In the Hall of the Mountain King -> MJ Smooth Criminal

      This comment made me look up at my drinking horn hanging on the wall among Ren faire weapons and shield…

        Genuine question: Is it practical both for drinking and cleaning or is it really just a gimmick to look cool?

          It’s kind of practical when standing or walking slowly, like at a fair. Since it’s got a shoulder strap I don’t have to hold it all the time. But you can’t set it down with anything in it. Cleaning is a little awkward but not terrible, give it a good soak and use a bottle brush to get all the way down.
          It is fun to drink out of a horn though

    Man I don’t exactly love two out of four of those genres myself, but this thread has a few commenters that seem to want to pretend they’re the adults in the room but in reality they’re just a bunch of miserable cunts that either hate music or only want to listen to the same fucking popular shit over and over.

    Like, popular music is fine to be clear but so is wanting to listen to weirder stuff.

      No faster way to make otherwise normal-seeming people go full-on rabies-mode is to make a public statement about a kind of music you don’t like.

      It’s wild how people take that as a personal attack. In every instance, in a public space, if you type out distaste in a music genre someone is going to lose all reason and restraint and come at you swinging fucking viking axes.

        Meh, your take is kinda trash. You should own what you like and dont like and stop caring what other people think about you so much, especially whatever “normal” people are.

          How is my take bad? I didn’t say don’t own what you like, I said people around you become irrational. That’s factual, not a take. You can choose to react any way you want to it.
