Popular or classical, western or non-western, communist or even anti-communist, feel free to mention any and all kinds of music here.
Lots of Clarion, Midrift and Select All lately. I’ve been really into chic-punk banks since I went to that Julie show.
Met a local she/they that’s really into music production. It’s been a minute since i messaged them, but I always get super nervous about that kind of thing because i don’t want them getting the wrong “message” when I hit them up looking for genuine friendship instead of being perceived as another grody dude.
I’m glad I have a really chill woman in my life. She’s really understanding and even appreciative that in most of my life, I’ve made more friends with women than I have ever did with men. I’m grateful it doesn’t put any strain on our relationship and she fully trusts me. That helps with the anxiety I mentioned earlier. I don’t put my heart into anyone else.
It’s also a bit of a struggle because I’ve made a lot of really cool friends; goth chicks or punk-rockers that I had an amazing friendship with that ends when they admit they have feelings for me or they suddenly end it with no reasoning why. (think it’s because I’ve been told I’m “amorous” many times). Shit like that makes me glad I"m not single anymore. Too many beautiful women with crazy colors and some sad, depressing mental afflictions. Same reason I stopped dating alt-dudes; they’re worse!
Sometimes I wonder what it really would have been like to date or make friends in the 80s-90s alt scenes. Totally different times, man.
I am a little hesitant to post that part as it sounds a bit…reactionary, but it does come from objective and personal experience; I don’t think it applies everywhere!
hey, that’s really cool! music production is so interesting and complicated, that it would be neat to befriend someone in the field. hope everything goes well.
and, i don’t think there’s anything invalid about anyone’s experiences, ever. problems only arise when people interpret their valid experiences incorrectly, which i don’t think you have. no worries.
Slayyyter - WOR$T GIRL IN A****** Pretty good.
Red Army Choir - A Soldier’s Song Ive been completely hooked to this one,
Its a little more bright than other Red Army Choir perfermances as (acording to duckduckgo translator) they sing about how wonderful traveling is. But even then it still goes SOO hard.
the two things you posted are so different from each other haha. it makes me wish there was more proletarian music in a popular style.
what’s your favorite track on the slayyter album?
Soldier’s Song is a great one.

Stop freaking harassing me you CLANKER
Lô Borges - A Via-Láctea one of my favourite albums that I’ve listened to these last few years. You may know Clube da Esquina and he was in it (or if you didn’t know go listen to the self-titled album which is am absolute classic)
Broadcast - Illumination Broadcast has a melancholic kinda psych style with samples and synths, they’re kinda related to Stereolab in style
T-Square - Life is a Music one of biggest jazz fusion bands in Japan. I’ve been listening to their first albums from the late 70s

im currently addicted to Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones… def gotta listen to their discography
Oh, i have never paid much attention to this thread the past few weeks, but i might just post a couple. I mostly listen to hardstyle and hardcore 😇
Fraw, Kruelty and DEEZL - WHITE_MONSTER (DEEZL Remix)
The last minute/40 secs or so goes crazy actually.
Big fan of the continuous re-used kickroll in this one
Just a phenomenal track with no “wow factor” moment, but just well executed.
Big fan of the OG Modern Warfare 2 sounds and voicelines.
pretty eclectic stuff rn:
- muse - cryogen just came out recently. its new “old muse” yay//
- fujii kaze - it’s alright also somewhat recent release. a lot of popular japanese releases these days are more experimental/harder to categorize into distinct genres and im enjoying it //
- gemini - going. this south korean r&b artist’s debut single from a couple years back//
- 映山红（朝鲜语版）ying shan hong korean language version this chaoxian (this word can refer to ethnic korean, usually pertaining to korean chinese ie ethnic koreans of chinese nationality, or north korean) cover of a revolutionary chinese song that’s been a bit popular on chinese internet a month or so ago (and I do mean this korean language cover specifically is what went viral)
note for last item: I'm 95% sure it's ai gen...?? ??? the MV definitely is
to be clear, this isn’t really a dig against the track. I enjoy it and I see why it got its time in the viral spotlight. but I wish it was more clear yknow.
in my amateur opinion, the voice, probably instruments, and tooling for filling out sounds (for lack of better vocab/jargon) are at the very least ai-assisted. mostly hedging my bets that the voice used is AI – typically in chinese music industry the vocalist is always credited as the industry is full of songwriters not being the vocalist, etc. And I tried reallly really hard to figure out any credit to a vocalist… got one name 金瑞廷 but can’t seem to match it to a real person. ANYWAY next biggest tell for me is the uncannily smoothness of the music video and that after playing this, immediately all the next recommended queue on youtube are all explicitly labeled ai gen music, many featuring the same woman’s face in the music videos of cover arrangements. context clues but not evidence, I know.
anyway I probably could have figured this out more definitively if I actually looked at douyin myself but I literally can’t access full functions of douyin so I’m outta luck there
edit: yay an explainer! youtube comment under the video + translation:
@허용호-e8g 3 weeks ago 영산홍 을 우리 조선족들은 진달래라 부릅니다이노래는 연변조석족 동포인 가수의 목소리를따서 AI로 편곡됀 노래입니다 원곡은 중국영화주제곡이구요 중국홍군을 노래하는 곡입니다연변의 항일연합군은 14년간 일본과 치열한 전투를 벌였읍니다 그중에는대부분이 지금의 조선족이였구요 1905년1910년 을사늑약과 한일합벽조약으로 나라일은 설움안고 독립운동을 하려고 지금의 연변지역으로 만은 사람들이 들어와 현지에 먼저들어와서 살고있는 우리민족과 함께 일본과 맛서싸웠읍니다 하여 연변에는 ”산마다 진달래 마을마다 열사비“라는 말이 있읍니다 열사비에는 우리글로 수만은 열사들의 이름이 적혀있읍니다 연변에서는 수만은 열사들의피가 땅으로 스며들어 자라는꽃이 진달래라합니다 저의한테는 볼때마다 가슴이 찡 해지는 꽃입니다
translation via youtube function/google: We Korean-Chinese people call the Rhododendron indicum the “Azalea.” This song was arranged using AI, featuring the voice of a singer who is a member of the Yanbian Korean-Chinese community. The original song is a theme song from a Chinese movie and is a tribute to the Chinese Red Army. The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in Yanbian waged fierce battles against Japan for 14 years. The majority of them were the people of the present-day Korean-Chinese ethnic group. Bearing the sorrow of their country due to the Eulsa Treaty of 1905 and the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty of 1910, many people came to the present-day Yanbian region to fight for independence. They fought against Japan alongside our people who had already settled there. That is why there is a saying in Yanbian: “Azaleas on every mountain, monuments to martyrs in every village.” The names of tens of thousands of martyrs are inscribed on these monuments in our script. In Yanbian, the azalea is said to be the flower that grows as the blood of tens of thousands of martyrs seeps into the earth. To me, it is a flower that tugs at my heartstrings every time I see it.
very cool smattering, and i really appreciate the explainer too. thanks so much for posting!
its new “old muse”
Oooh cool, I didn’t pay much attention since Simulation Theory since I didn’t like it that much, but I’ll check it out then!

Westside gun, denzel curry and action bronson

Darkest Hour - Unburied Ruin
Darkest Hour have been on the metalcore scene since 1995 and are imo the most underrated band of the genre. Unburied Ruin is probably their best album.
mitski, constantly
a lot of Pink Floyd these days, idk why but they seem to fit my mood perfectly rn
recently i’m checking some teto kasane’s covers, and yaksa (chinese metalcore band), also i’m kinda enthusiast about maidcore
Some songs from the People’s Republic of Mongolia.
