There's a show I still listen to, that's 20+ years old and hasn't made any new episodes for 6 years. I don't quite vibe with the newer episodes so I don't listen to them. I however, very annually and religiously, have listened to the backlog of the older shows from 2003 - 2005, 2006 - 2008 respectively. It's to a point where I know them completely by heart and know what to expect per episode.

I've listened to them at various points in my life and at different locations. They are to me, like time capsules, that rewind me back to periods in time that make me think a lot of where I was then, where things were in general, what could've been, what would've been .etc

I just can't seem to get tired of them, despite me having tried to take lengthy breaks, to listen to newer things along the way. I listen to them to sleep to, they've become white noise. The longer I go listening to them however, the more times I'm reminded of various things that isn't just the past. Things like "oh, I was at this point with someone when i listened to this episode" so it has kindof served as a callback of some sorts. Amazing how that works. That's how I resonate a lot with music in general is that I can recall things based on what songs I've listened to, that'll remind me of things based on where I've listened to them and what my surroundings were.

And this show is great at that too.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I know Whedon's a dirtbag but they are catchy tunes performed by a stellar cast. I keep them all in the shuffle.

EDIT: I decided to watch it again, and now that I'm reminded: "Everyone's a Hero" didn't make the cut. I forget about that one.

Alice in Chains, Jar of Flies Tragically Hip, Phantom Power

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

been listening to multiple YouTube videos of Billy strings playing guitar. the 1st link gets played minimum once a day for 6 months now and is what I start every morning with, sometimes 4-5 times in a day it gets played.

https://youtu.be/BtuGnNlX-UI

other music I play daily just after this include the following URLs;

and there's like 10 more links that follow just too lazy to paste em all. but I listen to the above daily. tuning my ears, working on my accuracy and watching what/when/how he plays so I can improve my own playing. I prefer the non studio/life music. guy, guitar and their skills. that's my jam.

Ghost in the Shell SAC OST

I'm in dialysis three times per week for four hours and I listen to this every time. It's relaxing, and if I doze off, when I wake up, I know about where I am by what's playing.

I don’t know how it’s called in English but I’m guessing it’s „the kangaroo chronicles“.

  • Just checked: I was right.

The entire 12 episode run of the Strike Force Five podcast with Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon, Meyers and Oliver.

Might just be the most joyous thing I’ve ever heard.

Lately it's been the song "Rage" by President.

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was introduced to President last week. Their tunes have caused significant damage to my Good Headphones.

It's Charlie from Busted/Fightstar, right?

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I saw that claim online too. I don't know and don't really care TO know. For me it's a Sleep Token Vessel thing. If they don't wanna show, I don't wanna know.

Beethoven's Symphony No 9

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzyO3fLV5O0

Flower Duet from Lakme, Sabine and Marianne are beyond superb in this version (apologies to Dame Melba)

Vivaldi's Winter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPdk5GaIDjo

Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbxgYlcNxE8

and Dylan's Hurricane

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voH11xV4AKI

in many ways these songs together speak of everything it is to be human, the good, the bad and the ugly

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture

Ah, but do you know PDQ Bach - 1712 Overture?

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Megadeth's 'Rust In Peace' album. Countless plays over the last 25 years or so. Never gets old.

Which show?

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This episode of the Memory Palace

I made my own podcast at the time and hearing this episode genuinely caused me to stop and wonder whether there any point in carrying on with it, because I could never produce something as beautiful.

Also, this mini documentary about Nick Drake.

It's an incredible piece of work. The sound design is stunning.

Edit: Meant to ask, what's the show you enjoy, OP?

I mean I have my favorite bands that I tend to listen to more than others and types of music. tull, stan ridgeway, b52's, REM, fine young cannibals first album being my tops.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

geeze, you're as old as me... FYC. Roland's voice!

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I mean tull is a bit before my time but I like a lot of music from back then. heydey wise as the bands still going and I just loved the zealot gene.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rt podcast is like that for me

Is that what yours is too?

[–] Jaegeras@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

You really wouldn't know it, it's called 2 Sense.

[–] ZebulonP@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The entire discography of Vildhjarta. Metal and classical share a lot in common. I can listen to any song by them and I still find something new.

[–] org@lemmy.org 1 points 1 week ago

The sound of my own voice.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

The podcast "Improvised Star Trek". Its basically "lower Decks" before Lower Decks was a thing.

The map screen from Yoshi's Island. It has lived in my head for going on 25 years and will never leave.
