I borrowed the idea for this topic from another forum I’ve frequented in the past. I’m confident most here listen to music on their phones; so, I figure it fits with this Community’s vibe of helping each other enjoy technology affordably.
This song was pretty popular locally in Boston. According to Wikipedia, it got some airplay on alternative rock radio stations nationwide.
I was reminded of the song reading this online article on my phone :
It came as news to me, Jen Trynin now lives in the town I grew up in Watertown, Massachusetts, which is just outside Boston.
I listen to… everything. Classical, Hip-hop, obscure tunes from the 70’s, Pop music, Jazz, K-pop…just pretty much everything. I have a SiriusXM subscription that I use most often for listening to music, because I never know what I might be in the mood to listen to from one moment to another. I also have a YouTube Music subscription for those times I want to create my own playlist.
When it comes to classical music, the sound you get from the best playback system pales in comparison to a live symphony in a concert hall. If you’ve never been…treat yourself to a night at the symphony.
In keeping with the Boston theme, here’s one of my favorite singer/songwriters to come out of the Boston coffeehouse scene:
I’ve recently rediscovered this band. In fact I’ve rediscovered a number of out of print bands that I do not have in my vinyl and CD collection thanks to Youtube.
Though not a rediscovery a bass player I have a lot of respect for and one of the most down to earth people I know. This also happens to be my just about to be 3 years old granddaughter’s favorite song.
@rolandh I spent much of my 1960’s childhood in Massachusetts. My father was stationed at Hanscom Field AFB a couple of times. It has been a while since my wife and I have visited. It did feel strange with the national park as that is where I use to go play in the woods when the base was more open.
Was going to post this a few days ago but the forums were not working for me but here we go.
My favorite band right now is probably Red Vox, it’s not a big band but here is one of their most popular songs.
In The Garden:
A recent favorite is Clone Me:
The lead singer is a Twitch streamer who is known for “corrupting” video games and they used to work for public broadcasting in NYC which is pretty interesting.
Another artist I follow is 2 Mello, I don’t know what genre their music falls under but I don’t know much about music in general. Some of their recent music was featured in the indie game Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
Usually my music tastes fall into a few categories:
I like a lot of old songs as well (such as Michael Jackson and Elvis) but they are not in any of my playlists because I couldn’t name them. So I tend to listen to mostly the same music since all the algorithms for discovering music based on your likes sucks.
Lately I’ve been listening to Rhiannon Giddens, who now has a successful solo career after her work with the Carolina Chocolate Drops out of NC. Here is a collaboration between the CCD and the Luminescent Orchestrii:
Forgot to identify the playback tech: vinyl record albums on a crap record player and speaker, because we like the two-sided album format and inherent audio imperfections (eg, snap, crackle, pop). Also, when we buy a new record we donate one (that is rarely played) to a local thrift store. So they all live on one tidy bookshelf. Too much hoarding going on with vinyl!
