I find this a lot with collaborations between 2 artists, inevitably it sounds nothing like any of their individual songs

If anyone can find a song like Pierre Henry's "Psyche Rock" that isn't the Futurama theme song, I'd appreciate it.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever heard this, it's great. How did someone even make this in 1967?

Trying to think of anything similar... Maybe some parts of Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield?

Completely different genre and technology level, but at points it made me think of Avalanches interestingly enough.

Check out Avalanches either way, they're unbelievable.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Wow. Tubular Bells is looooong.

I'm Aussie. The Avalanches have been on my high-rotation list for decades.

@prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone you seem to post comments at superhuman speed. Why is that?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

There's a few hours at certain points of my work day, on certain days, where I've got nothing better to do. And this is the only form of "social media" that I consume.

I disagree that it's superhuman but I guess I'll take it as a compliment (I know it isn't 😕)

Edit: Actually, just kidding, I'd never do this while I should be working. That was a joke.

Easy, just listen to that one on repeat until you hate it! You’re welcome

Youtube’s community playlists are actually useful for this. Just search “songs like ” and it will give you some playlists. It won’t be perfect, but you can then build your own based on the songs you like.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 6 points 16 hours ago

And prior to this limewire was great, you would search songs linkin park

Get linking Park disturbed song and it turns out it's actually a song by trapt you had never heard before.

[–] lemmy_at_em@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

OMG I feel this so much.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

I used to search online for hour long remixes of songs I liked. It helped this itch but definitely not the same

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Would be easy if it was country music.

[–] treesapx@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

There's so much good country music. It's called "Folk."

[–] AzuranAurora@piefed.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

Cowpunk like Social Distortion is also excellent.

Install firefox Install ublock. From Raymond Hill Go to pandora com Make free account Feed it the song as a seed Only downvote bad recommends but don't thumb anything up

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I really feel this with the artist Skynd. I love their voice and talent and style, but holy fuck do I not want to just mainline murder porn fan content straight into my brain, and I wish there was something similar that wasn't strictly about criminals.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Ooh, new artist I'll listen to until i hate it. Damn, you weren't kidding about the murder porn.

Dear George,

Stop getting quoted online and finish Winds of Winter.

Sincerely,

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 hours ago

Honest question: are there people who still care at this point? I was a massive fan of the book series, before the show. I remember waiting for A Dance with Dragons.

But I lost interest years ago. I'm not sure I'd even read it, unless it came out and everyone was saying it's incredible or something.

I've never understood that reaction image. Obviously, Bugs' tongue is up, touching the top of their(?) mouth, making an L sound. "Lo"?

[–] PrimeErective@startrek.website 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I feel like flipping your tongue down like that while saying "no" gives it a certain definitiveness

[–] zedgeist@lemmy.zip 0 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, a certain definitiveness that starts with an "L" sound.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You do that to make an N sound too though?

[–] zedgeist@lemmy.zip 0 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Not nearly that far forward in the mouth

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 hours ago

I mean, it's a cartoon rabbit from the 60s....

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 points 22 hours ago

I hope he does but if the man is out of ideas and just wants to retire I’m good with that.

Scrapbooking of.. Squinter?

[–] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 19 hours ago

Skill issue.

i just listen to the song on repeat, over and over again, until i stop enjoying it. Then i forget about it for a good year or two. Then i happen to remember it, how cool it was, give it a listen, and get a very vivid picture of what i did and how i felt when i first listened to it.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 2 points 20 hours ago

You just need to find a really good DJ.

[–] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (4 children)

This is the issue with being a TOOL fan. Nothing sounds quite like it. And Russian Circles is another favorite, but the algorithms are just like "this is clearly metal (it's not) so we'll put a bunch of screamy metal in your playlists that you'll obviously love" (screaming is annoying unless it's sparsely placed for emphasis)

I recently switched from Spotify to Qobuz and while I do like Qobuz, it lacks a block artist feature, making their playlists hit or miss.

[–] nyctre@piefed.social 1 points 51 minutes ago

I always thought that rishloo was fairly tool-like. In some ways, at least. Not a 1:1 thing, ofc. Wheel also scratches that itch. And altho it's quite different, katatonia also fits in some ways. Depends what you're looking for.

[–] WaxRhetorical@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Ugh, yes, the inability to block artists or songs is so annoying. I don't understand why they don't have this feature, it seems like it shouldn't be too hard to implement

[–] zedgeist@lemmy.zip 5 points 21 hours ago

To be fair, TOOL is fairly unique. Maynard is at least more mainstream with A Perfect Circle.

[–] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 19 hours ago

Another commenter mentioned Maynard has A perfect circle, but he also has Puscifer. Danny Carey also has Volto.

Also with checking out the band Soen, they're very tool like
