Jams

What music have you been listening to non-stop today/this week/this year?

Today's, for me, is this

 

and

(Warning: Lyrics of the first may be triggery for abuse survivors)
The artists voice keeps breaking my heart. Yes this is a good thing.

 

At the moment, Marina and the Diamonds.

Earlier,
And then,

 

I've been listening to this a lot lately


but this months jam is still probably this

(it goes really well with this one book I'm trying to stop myself from re-reading)

 

I love Hozier too. A lot of my favorite songs have very Christian themes, which is weird because I was raised purely Jewish.

 

This is the song I've been listening to unceasingly for the past couple of days:


@emythos : Eff yeah, Marina and the Diamonds.

 

I came across Jawbreaker Reunion's Lutheran Sisterhood Gun Club album on bandcamp the other day (via browsing the #music tag on tumblr, which is probably the online equivalent of my equally obnoxious habit of buying used CDs at thrift stores) and now I can't stop listening to it.

 

JRPG music is like, more than a third of my ipod. And the next third is Homestuck. I may have a soundtrack problem.

 

Yarr!


Transistor's a game with a lot of awesome music, and this is one of the best of the lot.

 

This is in my head now and it won't leave.

 

lately i've been listening to hadestown a lot (for some reason it's become my go-to background music for playing minecraft (the game's music doesn't turn on enough for my liking)). it's a folk opera based on the myth of orpheus and eurydice. it is also basically a great depression AU which is neat.

here's the first song:

 

OH BOY DID SOMEONE SAY HADESTOWN?




(I've been trying to learn to sing both of these)

 

Ugh, that is the OTHER song I've been listening to non-stop! It's been cathartic in beautiful and awful ways for me as an isolated Christian (as in, not congregating anywhere at the moment) dealing with gender issues and thinking difficult thoughts about love and sex on top of that.

 

I'm an old Goth, but I find myself loving things with a dark aesthetic even if they're not really part of the genre in terms of musical style.

This is one. Antic Clay, or the previous band by the same singer, Myssouri.



This one's rather NSFW ...

 

On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons, Pompeii by Bastille, Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran, and Let It Go from Frozen are some of my current faves. I also like Take Me to Church. Yes, I'm a Top 40 and animated media soundtrack person.
