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!
I would love this. Unfortunately I'm too lazy and incompetent to pull it off.
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 assume you are familiar with Mongol throat singing, especially delivered in the form of techno)? I also like guys who put traffic cones in their bass saxophone. Death metal with a Banjo anyone? This intrigues me, though I don't speak french.
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.
Oh! weird French music ? Never been down that road before . Thanks ✌️
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
Try out Mongolian Metal. They combine metal and throat singing.
The who? The Hu! Who? The HU!
This person drinks from a horn.
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
"I listen to everything" at the same time
sea shanties and gregorian chants are the fedoras of music genres
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.

Add Mongolian Throat singing and Tibetan chanting to that list.
Ok, this is what social media is for. Thanks everyone, so much good stuff in here. Glad I have similarly esoteric tastes..
A great Celtic banger I've recently discovered. Also this one by Rose betts is great!
Seems like people in this thread might appreciate both those.
Mix in some rap, old school country, jazz, and dubstep with that group and you have an exact replica of one of my playlists

Don't forget the occasional anime OP/ED
