So, I realised we didn’t have a music thread! To kick things off: Two Minutes to Late Night have been putting out various collaborative “bedroom” covers as a way to raise money for musicians unable to play gigs at the mo. And the one they put up today features not only the vocalist of one of my favourite bands, but she’s singing in front of a wall of board games 😃 [![](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/8/88012de0881b4b3067a24356733a9de10c3949cc.jpeg "Unearth + War On Women + Black Dahlia Murder + Vile Creature cover “The Warrior”") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6iO-hawJU8) ---

At the moment, Within Temptation’s _The Q-Music Sessions_ (2013) is getting a lot of play - covers of other recent songs, basically. I like their style anyway, and I particularly like what they do here.

I have recently discovered that I need music more than ever. It needs to have a beat, it needs to be loud and it needs to make me smile in the first ten seconds. As examples, the last two songs I listened to in the car; [![](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/f/fffe8dde67aab7c378b3497182e6c9a8758ba78a.jpeg "Village People - YMCA OFFICIAL Music Video 1978") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9OO0S5w2k) [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxfB0b9Ix9o) ---

You know, that wasn’t a verb I ever used, even when I listened to vinyl, and even less so now that I almost always listen to music files. I haven’t been listening a lot of late, because my speakers got lost in the move, and I’m waiting to replace them until I have my own desk. But I tried out C’s headphones a couple of days ago, and listened among other things to “Worthy Is the Lamb” (from _The Messiah_), “The Last Saskatchewan Pirate” by the Arrogant Worms, “The Word of God” by Echo’s Children, “Judgment of the Moon and Stars” by Joni Mitchell, and “Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young” (from _Streets of Fire_). And then I went online and bought some classic Rolling Stones, including “Mother’s Little Helper” and “Play with Fire.” ---

When I write (which is the only time I listen to music) I normally need something thematically appropriate and either (ideally) without lyrics or (sometimes) in a foreign language sufficiently foreign that my brain processes exactly none of the language. My go-to are usually the soundtracks for Skyrim, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect, or Assassins Creed. The soundtrack to “Rebel Galaxy” is great (lots of thunky blues-rock), but too much English sadly, and I love the hell outta the “Star Control 2” soundtrack but it’s short. Other than that, my guitar teacher is trying to give me an appreciation for Prince (he’s a’ight) and The Flaming Lips (Yoshimi vs Pink Robots is pretty cool), and I’m trying to give him an appreciation for Steampowered Giraffe (steampunk folk… “Brass Goggles” and “Suspender Man” probably being my favourites) and anything from the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack (pop culture Canadiana at its best).

I learned that I missed a 2018 release from **Pig Destroyer** , one of my great guilty pleasures, and I’ve been listening to it (and enjoying it) quite a bit.

It might not be to everybody’s taste (and the video has some scantily-clad bums) but this really reminds me of the sort of stuff I used to bounce around to 15-20 years ago. The start of the song isn’t great, but the synthy stuff from 1:40 onwards is like gooey niceness on my brain.

Mostly Death Grips, to be honest. I listen to To Pimp a Butterfly on repeat at work most of the day, and then Death Grips at home. I’ve just downloaded loads of DG, Mr Bungle, Fantomas and Deftones (along with the just 5 Dillinger Escape Plan songs I could get) so that’s a lot of what I’m ‘listening’ to. ---
