End of another tough day, tunes to relax by?

[Jim Davey]

Not heard much Biffy, I do like Paulo Nutini tho, Candy is a favourite.

 

[Ruffian]

Never used iTunes,
Always loved having hard cd copy and just purchase a 300 cd case for loose cd'' and then all music onto a hard drive.

But always love a bit of variation.

I really need to get onto Apple. I had about 2,500 tracks, about half burned from bought CDs and the other purchased from iTunes but one day about two thirds of them went missing. Just gone. I only noticed because I was hearing the same songs more often on shuffle, I really need to get around to complaining as that was quite a lot of money on music down the toilet. I didn’t trust iTunes from the start, should’ve stuck to buying actual CDs.

Yup.
Always made a point of owning hard copies of my music. Bitcommet and lime wire non withstanding.
After losing 10 years worth of music I created I'm paranoid about backing up my tunes.

I’ll be sticking to CDs in future, I’m not very techy and never got around to setting up my NAS with all my music on.

There's no bad genres.
Except dubstep.
Sounds like a computer crapping out to me lol.

I challenge that

This guy claims to be dubstep

Disturbed is maybe a bit heavy for this thread, but this cover is (in my opinion) just amazing.

Iron Sky is superb.

Or with a superb short film

and Biffy at T is superb although a bit sweary for some so the acoustic is better if your granny is in the room

Does nothing for me.
Seems most dubstep can't make up its mind what it wants to be and barstadises 20 different genres to achieve it.

Mixing is shocking on that link BTW.

 

[Jim Davey]

Do I need to leave the lights on for that one?

Excellent cover.

She’s about 680 miles from me on the Isle of Skye so unlikely to be poking her head round the door anytime soon.

Near to Neville though

I like this one by Elbow, in fact they play the whole album and it’s even better with full orchestral accompaniment.

Love that song.

 

[Jim Davey]

I’ll have to visit the both of them soon.

 

[Luke]

Iron sky is a particular favourite at the moment.

Other current favourites;

The XX
Oh Wonder
Churches (Chvrches)
Clean Bandit
Halsey
Jessie Ware
Bear's Den
Massive attack
Msmr
Lorde

Mostly via Deezer, which I resisted for a long time, but is actually amazing, a game changer.

 

[Jim Davey]

I’ve heard good things about Deezer.

 

[HughF]

Massive soft spot for early rave and old skool too.
Early drum and bass when it was still intelligent.

Man after my own heart, still got my technics and piles of tunes

I’ve heard good things about Deezer.

I was introduced to it via an offer with Sonos. Spotify is the bigger alternative, but I've continued with Deezer and I like it. It works well with Sonos, but I'm working away a lot at the moment, so a decent bluetooth speaker (JBL charge 2+) keeps me sorted. Last weekend a colleague and I were listening to it in an automotive press shop, hearing protection mandatory, but the speaker's good enough to be heard above the din.

SL 1210?

 

[HughF]

SL 1210?

Yep... First vinyl I bought was everybody in the place, from hmv in bath. I went in there the other day, the vinyl section was enormous now..... I blame hipsters

 

[Jim Davey]

I was always a bit partial to a bit of “Charlie Says”...

Top job on that PCB by the way. I’ve not had a chance to try it yet with the move but I will as soon as I can.
