RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Medusa's Outhouse by Cass McCombs came up in my shuffle today.

It has a really ethereal and fuzzy quality which I like, the tempo feels slow and like it's dragging a little. Combined with the falsetto, it makes me feel like I'm slowly floating through the air and I really like songs like that.

I always tear up when I hear "Say nothing, if you don't wanna say. Slow down, if you're going my way."

Awhile back I inherited a used media server box containing, among other things, every Billboard Top 100 hit from 1960 through 2008. I'm working my way through more or less at random, and finding a bunch of great songs from the 60's and 70's that Id never heard. And apparent I like disco? Would not have guessed.

I met some Pakistani people recently and realised I don't know much about Pakistan. So I decided to listen to Pakistani music. This one's a banger. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZPuCsGKRbM&list=PLnzOApf9_xyXxcUx26P9CLy_yychHCOZO&index=6&pp=iAQB8AUB
