When my business partner comes to the office to hang out I blast Lana Del Rey sing to it and dance from time to time. This helps productivity immensely.

This has been going through my head all night.

I love everything about Japan, but for some reason I could never get into the music.

But I will respect how they can go from pop punk, to trance, to heavy metal, to rap, to smooth jazz, and then back to pop, in one song and not have it be strange.

    This is about my favorite of all time. Great mix of hip hop, trance, and dub step.

    What up with the forum? Do the videos say unavailable to you too or is it just my computer?

      It says it for me too. The embed works, in the sense it is properly linking, but then it immediately says it is unavailable. What is strange is for a split second, it seems to full load with the thumbnail, but then it quickly goes to unavailable.

        It's up to a youtube author whether they want their videos to show up in embedded players or not. The videos linking you to go watch them on youtube have simply opted out from the embedded players. IIRC this can also be further influenced by regional limits.

        Here's an instrumental I made and I'm going to put this one in my game; it's a mix between trap music and Metal; hope you enjoy it:

          packrat You won't playing around when you said that Matchbook Romance had a darker sound; that songs real nice. If I would reply with all of my favorite metal and rock songs, I could be accuse of spam. Here songs that have a dark song sound but, a motivational message:


          I can relate to the message on this one.


          I can also relate this one.

                Audiobellum I'll be honest. It's way better than I expected.

                Audiobellum Ah yeah, friends love this kind of stuff. I prefer grungier but Spirits is insanely good.

                Anyways, if you like what MCR used to do where they told morbid stories through punk, you may like PUP. It's a dirtier sound and the stories are less romantic, but it's still deliciously depressing. This song especially kills me everytime.

                    This is impressive:

                      Oops. I haven't been online in a while. My plans to create a less moderated, NON-POLITICAL forum for anyone here who wants to resurrect the forbidden Talk About Anything of yesteryear got interrupted. Things got weird, now I'm in midwest America without a real home and looking for a job so I'm not kicked on the streets somewhere in the plains. It gets cold out here in the winter, but I'm so glad my entire studio-minus-2nd_monitor fits in a leather messenger bag, otherwise I'd be bored out of my mind in nothingtown limbo.
                      Good news is, used bass guitars are a lot cheaper out here, and thanks to my ex 8 years ago, I'm pretty good with it. Even if the strings are kinda rusted.
                      Anyways, if you want a weird combination of sounds from a single band in a single album, check out Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Lonely Road. These dudes just mashed post-hardcore with whatever they felt like for the whole album.

                      DaveTheCoder Sorry dude, I just got around to listening to this. How does making sound like that work with a trumpet? It freaks me out but in a cool way.

                          Am terribly busy constructing my new place. We're 3 months behind planning, due to lack of materials (Aluminium for instance) and also cases of sickness. I'm also learning a new programming language (Rust), so my project is on hold right now.

                          When I'm finally in my new place, I'm dreaming of starting to play the piano :-)

                          Anyway, here is Rush, Available Light. People who have done photography in the 70s and 80s may have a better idea of what "available light" means.

                          When the guitar kicks in to "Run with wind and weather ..." it gives me the goose bumps ... still after 40 years :-)

                            Pixophir You know, I also always wanted to learn piano, but I found guitars are way more portable. It's hard lugging around a piano when you don't know where you're going to be the next day. I used to play the ocarina flute but I got sick of how bad mine sounded and good ones cost way more than I can afford. You can imagine they're not easy to find used too.
                            I'm lucky my project hasn't been halted at all, in fact it's progressed way faster with how many days I've spent on the train not sleeping and nothing else to do. Eventually the core parts will be done enough and talking to each other well enough I can release a demo here.
                            I'm not a good programmer. This takes a while.
