This is a community to engage in musical theory and practice. What exactly does that mean?
To that end, this is simply a space for people of varying backgrounds and education to share music and their thoughts about music. Musical study via the history of music is also encouraged.
Rules:
Standard GZD rules apply here
No elitism tolerated. The value of music is ultimately determined by how socially necessary it is, i.e. how much people like it and interact with it.
By the same token, no anti-intellectualism tolerated. Like anything in the world, music is something worthy of study that everyone can always learn more about.
No Eurocentricism tolerated. Western (specifically German) music theory and practice being considered inherently superior to the music of other cultures is reactionary.
Popular or classical, western or non-western, communist or even anti-communist, feel free to mention any and all kinds of music here.
Been on a weird kick listening to a lot of bobby darin, dean martin and the like.
Other than that, you name it
Chat Pile.
Recently discovered these guys.
Particular favourite of note is "why" which is just a brutally simple and to the point anticapitalist song asking the question Why do people have to live outside?
They shine a light on just how fucked up america really is with some at times messed up and disturbing songs like Grimace_Smoking_weed.jpg which despite the silly title is an absolute nightmare of addiction, self harm and more
Shadowplay by Joy Division
i haven't.. i don't tend to listen to music unless i'm in the car.. and then its just whatever is in the liked songs on spotify so the same shit over and over
String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor (II) by Shostakovich. It's my favorite anxiety music.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
mostly the same stuff i listen to the most (the mars volta, king gizzard, will wood, etc) but i've started getting into tool and at the drive in recently
I found the city pop that I vibe with. Tatsuro Yamashita (via the album Spacy) and Anri (through Coool). They've properly hit the same type of sound that I love about TWRP that made me originally look into city pop and jazz fusion.

I am at a place where I may be able to get checked regarding my auditory issues.
I hope I can get to a point where I am not afraid of sound or whatever.
i've really gotten into classical.music thanks to looking for new music to listen to while reading theory, especially Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46 Morning
I listened to multiple albums this week.
I finally listened to the new Phoebe Bridgers album last week, I thought it was good but time will tell if I'll like it as much as her other records.
I also listened to an album by the Red Army Choir, because I wanted to listen to more Russian albums. But I thought it was nothing for me, although as a communist I love the meaning of the songs. I also listened to Otava Yo's Chto Za Pesni, also because I wanted to listen to more Russian albums. I liked it. Furthermore I listened to these other albums: Go_A - #Idynazvuk, from Ukraine (EDM), The Blue Hearts - The Blue Hearts (Japanese punk), Blackpink - The Album (Kpop).
I have a project to listen to an album per country, and hadn't listened to an album from South Korea or Japan yet.
But I've listened mostly to my playlists this week
Olivia Dean is pretty nice
Type O Negative. Basically nothing else. Not going through anything, just think it's a hyperfixation ATM. (And I'm watching archived videos of their DVDs).
