RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Sorry for being absent from the past couple threads, I was traveling and busy and it's just been crazy.

The song Universal Flame by Devin Townsend passed through to say hi while shuffling my entire library the other day and I always forget how much I absolutely love this song.

I have suddenly developed the urge to make experimental/noise music... so I've been acquiring weird old equipment, like an old Korg Microkorg, a bunch of guitar pedals, and the sketchiest guitar I've ever seen. Turns out a friend I've started hanging out with regularly already has his own experimental/noise project, so we're definitely going to share some ideas. He told me the name of his project but we were really high so of course I forgot lol. I'll be back to plug his stuff next week it sounded pretty cool.

There's a BMS music/video game competition going on so my music taste's a bit occupied by it... good thing is there are lots of opportunities for discovering new songs. Submissions heavily lean on rhythm game music and J-music though if that's not your taste

Here are a couple of (hopefully) good ones I personally liked. Every submission also comes with a "genre" name but half of them are useless...

  • Juka_Box feat. 綜花 - 燐寸と緞帳; genre "Soiree" (actually... I don't know what this is called, Artcore or sth?). I think this is the projected individual submission winner
  • をしへ; genre "Alternative Rock". I think a lot of ppl didn't expect Buddhism Rock so it got a lot of ratings; song is good. Epilepsy warning for MV/BGA
  • Notorious(Nota & TRIAL) - ZERO; genre "LUSTFUL" (actually J-core/Happy Hardcore). Funny ASMR song; my personal favorite of the event so far (but didn't score super well it seems). Epilepsy warning for MV/BGA
  • uma - The World Tree; genre "Hard Dance". I've listened to a lot of this artist's music before so I was quite happy for this

There's still quite a few fan favorites that I haven't even listened to yet

I finally fixed my turntable last week, and have been spinning some things waiting in my backlog.

  • Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider.
  • Some Soft Cell, after the passing of David Ball. My wife had never heard Sex Dwarf before.
  • Thriller, at the request of my 3 year old.
  • Secret Treaties by Blue Oyster Cult
  • Various other new wave stuff. The Fixx, Thompson Twins, Flock of Seagulls, etc.
  • That new Taylor Swift album about dick.
