Non-Classical Music Listening Thread!

Anyway, I think albums like OK Computer go so well with things like Fight Club. A dissociation with the false purpose that commercialism gave us. It seems like the 90s was replete with questioning our place in hyper-consumerism, and now we just have acceptance.

My BS opinions aside, OK Computer is one of my all-time favorite albums.

It is why we have been classed as the "slacker" generation (per Richard Linklater's genre-defining film, Slacker). (Of course, this was predicted by Jean Baudrillard back in the 1980s with his notion of hyperreality, but that notion becomes more truer the further into the future we move - until it doesn't.)

I'm now completely sold on the Instagram algorithm: AK's Facets and Nico Morano's Opposite Minds

An Immortal Girlfriend kind of day (also, Dryve):



Outrun. Retrowave. Synthwave.

I should give it a shot.

Not sure I understood the comment. By the way, I've always liked Islands, although Boz Burrell didn't impress me much as a vocalist. Especially the second side of the LP. In any case, the early KC albums up to Red inclusive are still more interesting to me than everything released under that name in the following decades.

  I apologize. As you suggest, that's a track on "Islands," not "Red." I was a huge fan back in the early 80s. My memory is becoming increasingly less dependable as the decades pass.

Holy smokes! Let YouTube on autoplay by accident, and it brought me to this glorious OST:



Gris - only two tracks in, and it is achingly beautiful, so gentle, tender, but with an edge to it - like you just know something is a bit off (uncanniness).

What a nice surprise - maybe the YouTube algorithm isn't all bad after all.

Listening to this again - Gris, so delicate, lulling into a state of uplifted relaxation.

Winterfylleth - The Imperious Horizon

Larkin Poe: Mockingbird (EP)
Beth Hart: You Still Got Me

Some 2024 blues rock. . .

No problem

  I just installed a pair of monitor speakers in my listening space. I'm finding cibrlassical tracks sound rather bland, whereas rock and pop are crazy vibrant and rich. Played "Sailor's Tale" and actually wept. Truly blown away.

  A new set of speakers can be really inspiring...

The tail-end of alternative rock: Remy Zero's The Golden Hum




Was reminded of them because they were mentioned in Allison Pregler's (with Phelous, her husband) Sabrina the Teenage Witch Halloween retrospective (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUuV-5lR8Co), which is well worth a watch for some lighthearted nostalgia.

As to the music, so good - they should have been so much bigger than their one-hit wonder status (Save Me), but that they even had one hit separates them considerably, so I imagine they may view differently.

Glad that you are enjoying them.  A bit confused though by the word "cibrlassical"?  Did you do a typo and meant "classical"?
