There's a show I still listen to, that's 20+ years old and hasn't made any new episodes for 6 years. I don't quite vibe with the newer episodes so I don't listen to them. I however, very annually and religiously, have listened to the backlog of the older shows from 2003 - 2005, 2006 - 2008 respectively. It's to a point where I know them completely by heart and know what to expect per episode.

I've listened to them at various points in my life and at different locations. They are to me, like time capsules, that rewind me back to periods in time that make me think a lot of where I was then, where things were in general, what could've been, what would've been .etc

I just can't seem to get tired of them, despite me having tried to take lengthy breaks, to listen to newer things along the way. I listen to them to sleep to, they've become white noise. The longer I go listening to them however, the more times I'm reminded of various things that isn't just the past. Things like "oh, I was at this point with someone when i listened to this episode" so it has kindof served as a callback of some sorts. Amazing how that works. That's how I resonate a lot with music in general is that I can recall things based on what songs I've listened to, that'll remind me of things based on where I've listened to them and what my surroundings were.

And this show is great at that too.

Listened to?

Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LJi5na897Y
Cindy is Patrick Flegel, who performs in drag, with a voice effects that make him sound female.
Honestly, I give two shits about the trans act. Whatever.

But the music ... it immediately grabbed me. Spacey. Raw. Patrick is a brilliant guitarist and producer, a one man show. In drag. Deliberately plays with your expectations and abuses them. Smooth and mellow, with a taste of the 50's, Beach Boys, Alan Parsons, and Beck.
Yes, I know that doesn't make any sense. Try this instead.
Diamond Jubilee is the most definitive, the very best Lo-Fi album ever recorded.

And this guy.
SEA is just a youtuber who does chill science videos.
He's far from perfect, but he does not beg for money or your attention. Gets by on producing good content. This particular video has been putting me to sleep for years.

Ghost in the Shell SAC OST

I'm in dialysis three times per week for four hours and I listen to this every time. It's relaxing, and if I doze off, when I wake up, I know about where I am by what's playing.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I know Whedon's a dirtbag but they are catchy tunes performed by a stellar cast. I keep them all in the shuffle.

EDIT: I decided to watch it again, and now that I'm reminded: "Everyone's a Hero" didn't make the cut. I forget about that one.

Alice in Chains, Jar of Flies Tragically Hip, Phantom Power

Beethoven's Symphony No 9

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzyO3fLV5O0

Flower Duet from Lakme, Sabine and Marianne are beyond superb in this version (apologies to Dame Melba)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1ZL5AxmK_A

Vivaldi's Winter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPdk5GaIDjo

Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbxgYlcNxE8

and Dylan's Hurricane

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voH11xV4AKI

in many ways these songs together speak of everything it is to be human, the good, the bad and the ugly

Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture

Ah, but do you know PDQ Bach - 1712 Overture?

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Megadeth's 'Rust In Peace' album. Countless plays over the last 25 years or so. Never gets old.

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 1 points 9 hours ago

I caught em on the Peace Sells tour. Still my favorite album.

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

been listening to multiple YouTube videos of Billy strings playing guitar. the 1st link gets played minimum once a day for 6 months now and is what I start every morning with, sometimes 4-5 times in a day it gets played.

https://youtu.be/BtuGnNlX-UI

other music I play daily just after this include the following URLs;

and there's like 10 more links that follow just too lazy to paste em all. but I listen to the above daily. tuning my ears, working on my accuracy and watching what/when/how he plays so I can improve my own playing. I prefer the non studio/life music. guy, guitar and their skills. that's my jam.

[–] Zonefive@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

The entire 12 episode run of the Strike Force Five podcast with Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon, Meyers and Oliver.

Might just be the most joyous thing I’ve ever heard.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I don’t know how it’s called in English but I’m guessing it’s „the kangaroo chronicles“.

  • Just checked: I was right.

This episode of the Memory Palace

I made my own podcast at the time and hearing this episode genuinely caused me to stop and wonder whether there any point in carrying on with it, because I could never produce something as beautiful.

Also, this mini documentary about Nick Drake.

It's an incredible piece of work. The sound design is stunning.

Edit: Meant to ask, what's the show you enjoy, OP?

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lately it's been the song "Rage" by President.

chef's kiss

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I was introduced to President last week. Their tunes have caused significant damage to my Good Headphones.

It's Charlie from Busted/Fightstar, right?

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

I saw that claim online too. I don't know and don't really care TO know. For me it's a Sleep Token Vessel thing. If they don't wanna show, I don't wanna know.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

Which show?

[–] ZebulonP@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

The entire discography of Vildhjarta. Metal and classical share a lot in common. I can listen to any song by them and I still find something new.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

The Magnus Archives

It's a horror audio drama meant to explore fear as a concept. It follows an archivist of paranormal(ish) experiences slowly piecing together connections between seemingly isolated incidences until they eventually start to affect his life directly. Can't say much more without spoilers but it's fire 10/10

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean I have my favorite bands that I tend to listen to more than others and types of music. tull, stan ridgeway, b52's, REM, fine young cannibals first album being my tops.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

geeze, you're as old as me... FYC. Roland's voice!

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

I mean tull is a bit before my time but I like a lot of music from back then. heydey wise as the bands still going and I just loved the zealot gene.

The podcast "Improvised Star Trek". Its basically "lower Decks" before Lower Decks was a thing.

The sound of my own voice.

The map screen from Yoshi's Island. It has lived in my head for going on 25 years and will never leave.
