Rui wanted a general music thread, well here's one q:
Wow.
I absolutely love Japanese artists. I wish I could understand Japanese but I'm too lazy to learn.

I love French music for when I don't really want to pay attention to the words of the song. It's great if I want to do listen to music while study, because I love the background noise/tunes, without having to concentrate on something that isn't the study I have to do. :)
This week, I'm loving the song "No One's Gonna Love You" by Band of Horses.
How good is music though? So good <3

Ooh, we've been needing a general music threads for a while!
Definitely not the thing for most people, but this is one of my favourite bands. Now, if you listen for the first 35 seconds or so, note how well the frontman -- Mikael Åkerfeldt -- switches from clean singing to growling. That's insanely hard to do. Also, this is really high quality growling, if anyone can tell haha :D
Edit: Going to post one more video, but I'll just link it to avoid lagging the place up, haha. Listen to this from 0:40 for some sik Melbourne metal violin work. If anyone is also interested in what good growling is meant to sound like, it'll start at 3:30. The violinist does the clean singing.

Here's a little diddy I studied for year 12. Unfortunately wasn't good enough to learn by ear - I actually got in contact with Baudin to ask for music for this, but he didn't want to give me anything because it would be too hard for him to actually write out. I later tried to learn another piece by him, which I've chucked below, but unfortunately I couldn't practice regularly enough to build up my tapping strength. I actually got it working semi-well for a while, but I'm just too lazy to actually practice. >.<
Am happy to spread around more of these weird solo bassists if people are interested. :P
As for things that I actually listen to, have some Crystalyne:

Also, on the topic of Japanese tunes:
Absolutely amazing track from possibly the best movie of all time, Your Name (Kimi no na wa). Idc what your opinion on anime in general is, do yourself a favour and GO WATCH IT.

Damnnnn, that bassist is awesome! Definitely feel free to share more :D
No video and very different type of metal (clean singing too), but would recommend trying this:
At least from 0:44--1:05. There's this high note at the minute mark that's just so pleasing to my ears

Daft punk for life, literally listen to them everyday. ;D One of my favourite and probably one of their most influential songs is 'Giorgio by Moroder', very interesting how in this song they morph an autobiographical story into a song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhl-Cs1-sG4

Wait wait wait, I've got one more, then I'll stop because I'm just going to end up spamming the thread.
This is just a collection of bits-and-pieces from my favourite singer -- Hansi Kürsch. Lots of different pitches and vocal textures.
Damnnnn, that bassist is awesome! Definitely feel free to share more :D
Alright. 8) But in the interest of variety, here's a bunch of different ones that I studied and why each of them are cool from a solo bass perspective (also URLs because I've got a few):
There are of course, many more solo bassists that are excellent and perform this kind of stuff - there's another two I've found recently, but nothing too special about them other than they do multi-layered solo bass. For those who are wondering why I know all this crap - in year 12, I did music investigation instead of the stock-standard performance. Instead of learning random theory nobody cares about, the point of the unit was to develop a "focal area" based on one of the songs on the prescribed list that VCAA distributes. In performance (at least for solo), all your songs come from these lists, in investigation, it's only the one for the focal area (you can, of course, put more into your performance program, though). My song was Continuum by Jaco Pastorius, and I looked into how to play multi-layered textures (that is, more than one line. Eg, standard pop song usually has rhythm = drums, harmony = bass, melody = vocals, counter-melody/harmony = guitar) on solo bass guitar. Hence why I looked up all of these guys, as they've used various methods to get multiple layers into their solo songs. Some are dead simple like Manring and Pastorius just playing multiple notes at once, but then are the slightly cooler/complex tapping from Baudin earlier, loop pedal from Wooten (not shown), and delay pedal from Scallon.

They're super catchy, remind me of some sweet memories or they have very raw emotions in their songs. I've had people say that a lot of my songs make people want to cry, but there's actually quite a few that are rather motivating.

Figured this is also the thread to discuss festivals, haha.
I'd just like to inform everybody of the coolest music festival in existence: 70,000 Tonnes of Metal.
Typically a 5 day cruise around the Carribbean with one shore stop-off. 60 artists, usually 2 concerts each, 3,000 fans (74 different nationalities last year), and a bunch of metal-themed fun. The ship is the MS Independence of the Seas.

Yisssss love me some 30 Seconds to Mars.
not a big anime fan but liked Komi no na wa - especially it's soundtrack
I know everyone has heard this and is probably sick of it by now. This isn't the remix but the original has become the most viewed video on youtube today! I think around 10 days after it was released I listend to it and thought it was phonemonal it had something like 110m at that point O.o

Even if you're not interested in the music, I think this is a pretty nifty website for anyone curious about metal: Map of Metal
Essentially, it shows where all the various subgenres come from (linking them on an interactive map), with a brief history description, and example songs.

My favourite song at the moment by Jay Park! Despite my VERY LIMITED speaking capability in Korean, I absolutely love the vibe this song gives and dance that goes with it!!

I can't remember the last time I actually listened to music, I'm horrible.
But I was watching a video recently and Taro by Alt-J popped up and it reminded me how much I love that song. So, if you've never heard it, please go listen to it. It's so fucking beautiful.

generally not a big fan of the migos except for quavo but this is probably the best song of 2018. Produced by pharrell who apparently didn't use the beat for 10 years. Migos - Stir Fry
Camila's debut album is also pretty good all the songs are really solid and seems to have longevity.

Yeah! That Migos song was lit af! Can’t say the same with their other song “Get Right Witcha” where they say "Going to Thailand with them ch*nks!" Absolutely disgraceful and racist stuff! Very sad that in this day in age, little outrage was shown in mainstream media. Imagine if a white rapper used the word n*gga, let alone n*gger in their song.
Racial discrimination directed towards Asian is institutionalised in the anglosphere without a doubt.
On another note, some stuff I enjoy listening to:
My Chinese isn’t the best but I’m sure anyone can enjoy this without understanding Chinese since it’s by Kris Wu. He raps like a god in Chinese and he’s performing in the Super Bowl this year! A few times where asian male representation will be done on their own accord, hopefully he won’t be thrown millions of racial slurs his way like when Jay Park performed in the super bowl. But I’m pretty sure it will happen given the Super Bowl demographic. https://youtu.be/RRZp7sVdhzQ
On a lighter note, here’s a more fun and relaxed song of a Chinese rap group I like, the Higher Brothers. This song, they rapped about 7-11 in Chinese and Sichuan dialect. Better than most the normie rap out nowadays! https://youtu.be/GOF9E2WirfE
Regardless of if you like 'Asian music' or not, give this a try and go in with an open mind!
