#I listen to a lot of different genres of music

Ask Compilation: Advice, influences and Misc.

Apologies for taking so long on some of these, admittedly I'm much more likely to entirely forget about asks that are about me and my interests 💃 Thank you for all the questions regardless! And thank you specially to everyone who just drops nice messages into my inbox out of kindness.

I'm brazillian and a native portuguese speaker!

I'll probably return to twitter eventually, but a) I hate that place and b) It didn't make much sense to me to turn it into a BG3 account out of the blue. I am considering making an Instagram or a new twitter just to have more places where people can follow in case they don't care for tumblr, but it's just been a very busy year so far and so that's kind of low on the list of priorities. If I ever do that I'll be sure to announce it here. Have a nice day yourself!

Sorry to hear that! I've gotten a few messages before about this issue, and the problem is that since I am myself not from the US, my options are also limited :( a lot of patreon alternatives don't work for me because they either don't go through paypal, take insane currency conversion fees, or just straight up block me from signing up.

Speak for yourself, I just assume everyone I speak to online has committed some sort of atrocious crime until proven otherwise. Except for me - of course. I have never done anything bad in my life.

I still have a lot to learn! But I will basically use whatever works for me at the moment, as well as make a sincere effort to learn about musculature and anatomy so I can understand those components and how they move, instead of only knowing what they look like when still - that's how you get better at drawing from memory. Volume mostly comes from coloring and understanding light, which is it's own beast but can very much be learned from similar reference materials and observing it IRL!

My favorite places to get reference are medical diagrams, weird pictures I take of myself, 3D software (often Virt-a-mate) and questionably phrased image google searches.

My favorite artists are Jason Shawn Alexander and Sean Murphy, but I'm not sure how much of it reflects in my art nowadays! I generally seek to pick up techniques from artists rather than to emulate style.

Honestly I love that you guys generally do the thing he would hate the most: take him very non-seriously LOL

I've been in a real Chelsea Wolfe and Amyl And The Sniffers kick lately! But usually you'll also find me listening to stuff like Boy Harsher, Swans, FWF, JK Flesh Lingua Ignota, Nick Cave, David Bowie, and so on. Music for the weird gays, basically.

I went insane and wrote a 23-chapter-long-and-still-ongoing fic in like four months. But also - I'm not that good, I'm just shamelessly pretentious LOL

Hm. That's a good question, but I'm not really sure. Sincerely not trying to be a edgier-than-thou here (in fact, this has made me a little self conscious at one time or another) but a lot of art that I don't mean to be horror-y in nature at all has been associated with the genre. So perhaps I don't know what I'm doing either, LOL.

I think just leaning on making things look slightly "wrong" or "ugly" on purpose is the way, but I also find that if you just seek to depict people as they are instead of idealized versions of themselves, you will arrive at that either way.

Thank you for reading! Honestly, I'm guilty of having not read much at all since I was in my late teens, and the style I'm employing for ANE is very different from the things I would call "influential" for me, or even that I used to enjoy reading at all before. I read a lot of Chuck Palahniuk as a youth (and, no slight to people who do like him still, but nowadays I'm not sure why I ever did. His stories don't speak to me at all anymore) as well a lot of weird experimental lit that I didn't even care to remember the name of. My last book stint from one or two years ago was composed solely of historical and medical literature, and last year I got really into Cormac Mcarthy thanks to the internet.

So, all in all, I'm absolutely all over the place LOL if you put a gun to my head and told me to list my favorite books, I'd say The Indifferent Stars Above and Blood Meridian.

(Consider the reading portion of the question to have been answered above) I really really liked Beau is Afraid and think it's a really great "horror" movie. Sue me.

What are some of your favourite podcasts / podcast recs?

It's hard to pick a favorite though I will say at the moment Midst is the one I think I look forward to the most, so I'm just going to go through basically all podcasts I currently or relatively recently previously listened to and sort them by rough genre. Note that as with all recommendation requests it helps to know the vibe of what you're going for and what's important to you (I know I just was like hey I'll take most music recs but the commitment for music is like the length of a song, whereas podcasts/books/movies/tv are a bit more time put in)

Actual Play:

Longtime listener of NADDPod and TAZ which I'm guessing if you follow me you are broadly aware of but if not feel free to ask more; I also post about Worlds Beyond Number enough that you might know what it is. I checked out Burnt Cookbook party a while ago both because I liked Jenna Stoeber's work with Polygon and because someone asked me for Actual Play podcast-only recs with more than one woman or nb player that weren't RQG and I was like oh I should find some. Anyway it's quite good! it's definitely lower production values than bigger podcasts but the plot is highly original and really good, the vibes are fantastic, the characters are a lot of fun, and all in all worth checking out. I also do listen to the Re-Slayer's Take which I've really enjoyed! Everyone's good but while I was familiar with (and a fan of) Jasmine Bhullar and Jasper William Cartwright's work, Jasmine Chiong as Farah speaks to the Grouchy Old Hunter Woman fan in me and has been a personal standout. It is very heavily edited, which does take some getting used to. Also, I mentioned RQG (Rusty Quill Gaming). It comes with the caveat of "very good but slow to start and then doesn't really stick the landing, imo, though the epilogues help" but I can recommend with that warning.

Scripted Fiction

Camlann. Modern post-apocalyptic Arthuriana/Folklore of the British Isles, with some hints of other folklore as well. 1 season; hoping they get funding for a second because it was very well done and also I want Gwen and Morgan to kiss.

Midst. Hard to describe but if you follow me you've seen a lot of posts that might help. Extremely good! About to finish in a bit over a week's time! Check it out and I advice you check out the first 3 episodes at once to get a feel for it; the three-narrator thing is also "get used to it and it will be fine".

The Penumbra Podcast. Originally envisioned as an anthology podcast but then two specific settings (noir-y space opera and medieval court monster hunters) were very popular. Also nearing its end.

The Silt Verses. Quite literally everything on this list would be described as "New Weird" and "has queer characters" and this is maybe the New Weirdest. Anyway, set in a world where gods are real, require human sacrifice to live, and society is both very complicit and also uses the gods to sell shit. I think people who are mad about D20 or CR not being explicitly political enough should listen to it. Extremely good. Also in its endgame, but they've had a very drawn out schedule as of late.

Welcome to Night Vale. You are on Tumblr; presumably you know the drill. I can't say I'm like...super following what happens but it's one of those things that's been a constant in my life for over a decade and takes up a very pleasant hour-ish per month. This feels like damning with faint praise but the earlier stuff was great and it's still strong, it's just, you know, the inevitable slowness of an indefinitely long slice-of-life-ish show vs. the more plot-driven ones above.

Within the Wires. By one of the Night Vale Creators. I have a post about it but it's set on an alternate history Earth where a cataclysmic war/plague/various other bad things absolutely destroyed the population in the early 1900s, leading to a very different global society. Some people say the seasons are very uneven in quality. They are incorrect. The seasons follow different people and all are in the form of found audio, so they are all quite different, but it's entirely a matter of personal preference if you like a season or not; it's not that some are Objectively Better.

Wolf 359 finished a long time back and I haven't relistened since my original listen in like...2018, but of "podcasts that have finished" it's worth it. Weird space stuff.

Informative(?)

Home Cooking by Hrishikesh Hirway and Samin Nosrat; was a pandemic project that now only airs yearly, really, but worth checking out if you like cooking.

I found out about Home Cooking via Song Exploder, which is just Hrishikesh Hirway talking about songs. Great podcast; the editing is fascinating and I have found a lot of good music from it!

I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats. Has only two seasons but they are both very good if you like The Mountain Goats as a band.

No Such Thing as a Fish: the QI (British quiz show) (if you're British you know this better than I do) researches talk about weird facts and riff on them.

Sawbones: Justin McElroy and his wife Dr. Sydnee Smirl McElroy talk about weird medical history and dumb wellness trends on tiktok. This is one of the earliest podcasts I subscribed to back when I did not drive nearly as much.

The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green. Has also completed and there's a book that's basically covering the same ground. It's not like, purely informative; it's very anecdotal (as is I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats) but I learned a lot from it.

Honorable mention: I just didn't have the time or energy to keep up with Ologies by Alie Ward but what I listened to was fun and interesting and my sibling is a big fan.

Comedy and Miscellany:

Beef and Dairy Network: also British, on the Max Fun network with the McElroys. Fucking weird. I debated putting this in the scripted fiction because it's basically "what if Welcome to Night Vale was a little less story focused but still had throughlines and was specifically about the cattle industry in some absurdist alternate version of our world" but stuck with comedy bc the absurdity outstrips the plot. It's weird!

My Brother, My Brother, and Me: you probably know this one; either you love it or you don't.

My Dad Wrote a Porno: also British and from what I understand a bigger deal over there. Has uh. reached completion, in that they decided they were done, but the books apparently go on (sorry Rocky I'm not buying them). A guy and his two good friends read and roast his father's self-published erotica e-books about Belinda Blumenthal, Pots and Pans saleswoman, ft. bad accents, corporate espionage, and, of course, The Duchess.

The Empty Bowl: Justin McElroy and Dan Goubert of Cerealously's ASMR podcast about cereal. legitimately has helped me calm down when anxious at night. I am not even a big cereal eater it's just entertaining and chill.

Anyway any other podcasts I have listened to I've either forgotten, weren't good enough to recommend, just disappeared without any conclusion [*cough* king falls am] or involve way more reservations than I am willing to go into without knowing more about what you are looking for.

"I can see will appreciating all types of music genres" well I cannot. peace and love<3

#like sorry I just think he mostly listens to rock some people literally just listen to one genre and that's FINE oh my lord #he would not be pretentious about it I'm not saying that I am sure that when el turns the madonna on he does not bitch or make fun of her #that doesn't mean he's listening to it on his own though lmao. that doesn't mean it's his preferred music choice #you know who I DO think would like a lot of different music genres? el. and I have actual reasons for this #I'm not just saying shit for the sake of saying shit #like she probably wasn't exposed to music for the first 13 years of her life! I bet she loves all sorts of stuff bc it's all so unique! #I bet her favorite songs and artists are based more in sentimental value then anything else #like she likes madonna bc she listens to that with max. she likes bowie bc it's what her brothers introduced to her #she likes riot grrrrl/punk bc of kali y'know? #anyway. in summary. will literally does not have to listen to pop or whatever why would he #like do what you want with mike he canonically sang along to corey hart. but will? #anyway that's how I know y'all are just projecting bc y'all want your fave to have the same music taste as you #and like it's a harmless headcanon it doesn't matter I know. but it is a pet peeve yeah I don't see why will can't just like rock #AGAIN. NOT PRETENTIOUS. HE THINKS OTHER GENRES ARE FINE THEY'RE JUST NOT HIS THING #stranger things #will byers #byler

last week I was talking to my partners sister in law about music and I mentioned that I love hip hop and rap especially from the 80s and 90s and one of his sisters was like "I would NOT have thought you liked rap" and I can't stop thinking about it. what part of my vibe says I don't like rap and how do I fix it

#then i had to tell her that nas and lil nas x are 2 different people lmao #i was like dude i listen to an insane amount of gch alone. and salt n pepa are like one of my all time favorite groups #when i say i listen to punk of various styles people expect that but when im also like #oh and jazz rap and country are 3 of my other favorite genres people are all surprised #emo doesnt surprise people at all either but when i say johnny cash and nat king cole are 2 of my all time favs #the looks i get in response are always so funny #if i had to pick like my favorite type of music itd probably be protest music. and that exists in almost every genre #so i listen to a lot of genres!

[pissmoon]

Sexyy red is performing in my country but its a hip hop festival that seems like its going to be full of insufferable younger gen z mumble rap fans i dont think I like the vibes of such event

#i go to a lot of different concerts from all different genres of music n usually dgaf about what sort of people will be there but hmmmmmmm #i dont want to be surrounded by a bunch of 19yo white boys who listen to sixnenetynine n claim their jordans costed 50k euros

[volinare]

For once I'm not the type of white person everyone is talking about. Also I don't follow any so that's nice. Me and my little bubble

#everyone irl thinks i hate rap though? i think because that type of person is so prevalent #i dont listen to a ton of artists that rap but like people will be like #“are you okay with this? like are you gonna be okay? this jist isnt your thpe of music like.” and they seem like scared and im like #i even had someone recently that was like “cause its scary?” when i asked them to skip a song #ONE SONG #once i played a really popular rap song from tiktok like total normy thing and my friend (who liked rap) was SO taken aback like #and theh were white!! like even other white people clock me like that?? and im like what. what about me #and kts not like its one heterogenous genre like theres lots of different types of rap but unless kts like. Atlas. people act like im gonna #flip my shit or cry or something and it is confusing im not gonna lie #forgive me for making this cringe post im just like #is it my hair?

[finexbright]

instead of listening to a banger of a no skip album, you all are out here having a discourse about something that's not even valid in this case. just listen to the album and enjoy how hard it slaps

#like sorry but i'm honestly fucking tired of seeing ''his team isn't doing enough'' #honestly his team is doing great in terms of rolling out promo and everything around it #just because his style of promo isn't the kind that other artists do doesn't mean they're not doing it correctly #like. louis' music and genre appeals to a completely different crowd and he's doing promo according to that #i don't know what you expect but his ''team'' has actually done a lot #like trying to get his music picked up on tiktok and all the twitter/ig promo all of it has been great #i know louis was sabotaged before but i do truly think he has much much more control over his music and promo this time around #so when you all say ''louis' team isn't doing promo'' you really want to say that they aren't doing YOUR standard level of promo #like. he did listening parties. he did appearances and performances. he was active on social media #and then he broke his hand and couldn't do the signings and his shows and STILL they're pushing the album hard on social media #i know we all love him and love this album but there needs to be strategies in place to get it off the ground #and it has!! the album is doing great numbers #the day you all stop comparing louis' success to other artists' success is the day you'll actually be free #you're all being so fucking irrelevant by saying all of this and doing the open letter bullshit #stop acting like you know better than louis and his actual team when it comes to things #like i know we have loads of people in the fandom who actually do know things because they work in actual marketing/promotional careers #but even then. NONE of us know louis or his team or anything about their plans. stop acting like you know better #stop acting like they're not doing things correctly #and i don't want to be rude but i KNOW this is coming from people who weren't around during walls promo and are just basing this off of #other artists promo strategies #when you compare walls promo and success to this you will realise how much active effort his team is putting into it #so yeah. just shut up and enjoy the album

Instruction: use your "On Repeat" playlist — can be Spotify or any other site you use.

the only playlists I have are on spotify and they are all character specific, so I'll switch after 2 songs to the next character playlist. I could have used my itunes but I do not have any playlist there because normally I intend to listen hardcore to just one artist for a looong time being and that would be boring af.

So, here we go:

[anarchistgumball]

now I don’t concern myself with strict genre definitions but I have to say the worst one I’ve heard in regards to folk punk is “folk music with punk lyrics”

#I don’t hear this often but when I do I’m just. what #what does that mean. what do you think folk music is #what are punk lyrics #is singing abt capitalism/anarchism/communism punk? bc guess what’s in folk music #is singing abt drugs being an addict + poor punk? guess what #plus it doesn’t even fit a lot of folk punk music in that description #folk punk is a nothing genre tbh imo #as someone who has listened to truly an unhealthy amount it is so different even from artists who explicitly label themselves as folk punk #trying to give it a definition that fits even most of the bands that play it is a losing game lmao

[colorisbyshe]

i’m so glad tumblr moved on from the “actually your taste in music is basic while my music taste has profound and wide depth” posturing where their fave artists were dua lipa, mitski, and like… some of megan thee stallion’s radio singles if they’re feeling bold

where like the only people they could feasibly dunk on were people who only listen to taylor swift, a toddler slap fight if i’ve ever seen one

the death of uquiz music taste posts has saved us so much grief

#nothing against mitski dua or megan #just them being used to show you listen to lots of different music #is… well #i say this as someone who just casts a wide net of very basic music taste myself #like the most general audience friendly versions of any genre #i’d never brag about it 😭 #nothing wrong with a basic taste in music #just be aware of what you are

Have yall heard of this song? Honestly, i feel like everyones heard of this by now... I really like their gangsta Knuckles take on the lyrics. You can listen to this on YT as well (the visuals are great🔥)

#knuckles the echidna #knuckles #been listening to this on repeat for the past several months #hip hop isnt my type of music genre #but then #just like a lot of people #my playlist is a total mess #i like to listen to different kinds of music #at one point ive been listening to folk music #currently #ive been listening to rock music #anyways yall might want to give this song a try #Spotify #ybetzartsreCs

[t3tr0m1n0]

internet brainrot by tdstr is part really cool interesting hardcore techno and part memefest. and as someone who, i feel, has really engaged with meme-heavy musical compositions that still take themselves seriously, i kind of prefer the memeless side of music. i think the point of dariacore is to heavily use obnoxiously memetic samples on top of the general intense hardcore sound. i seriously like the high tempo, varied melodies, heavy bass & intense percussion- all the hardcore side of it. i like hardcore edm that uses lots of samples. and i like music that is just memetic samples into music (see neil cicierega's mouth albums). but with this album i kind of think that the hardcore edm side would stand better on its own or with less of the meme Culture bogging it down. it's when it starts leaning into irony stylings or reveling in some subculture/fandom's iconography that i think it loses me. another station was a really great track but then when damn right came on and i heard familiar sample after familiar sample bring me into something with no hablo americano as its leading sample i got pulled out. and damn right is a pretty good track, i like it a lot! it's just the swing of the focus kind of prevents me from getting into the right mindset to enjoy self-serious hardcore edm or bite-sized high-effort melodic shitpost-inspired music. in short, this album lives up to its title, and it's almost disappointing for that. it's like i went to someone's house and in order to make me feel comfortable they had their computer open to tumblr with my account logged in. like oh i wasn't aware that's how you decided to do things around here

#this is maybe not my most coherent review. trust me it's not the fault of this album #i feel like i'm seriously well qualified to review dariacore considering i take music seriously and i have such experience with #the sort of musical memespace that's come out of siivagunner + soundclown #i'm going to have to look into more albums in this genre. by the way i had no idea this is what dariacore was #i'd heard the name tossed around a fair amount before without knowing what it sounded like #music reviewssic #i haven't reviewed it but i've listened to because maybe as well as other releases by renard/lapfox tracks #and i was reminded of it by this album. with the sample-heavy hardcore edm that seems sooorta like #speedcore? not breakcore. i'm saying ''hardcore edm'' a lot because i don't know what subgenre to refer to #bet if i listened to enough camellia i'd get an idea #the difference being that. i think in the time of because maybe internet subcultures did not go as deep as they do now #or if they did go as deep as they do now they didn't also have the scope of today's #there are siiva-derived communities that are kind of ''deep'' into internet subcultures that still have a following #rivaling that of more average internet communities circa 2010. that's how it feels at least #when i listen to because maybe &c i'm like ah i recognize these samples because they're pop culture #not fully pop culture but definitely pop culture to ''the internet''- sonic 2/retro games & mcr & maximum the hormone #when i listen to internet brainrot. well now. the title speaks for itself like i said #also sprach #i think im just made uncomfortable for being met so squarely at my own level of internet familiarity by something as impersonal as an album #like this album isn't just in an adjacent level of internet depths resided in it's kind of slotted into the exact same section that i'm in #...again. i need to listen to more dariacore #c u thru the q #my final word is that i prefer an album that i don't have to adjust the volume on between songs. god this got loud

[rnaeborowski]

i was wondering if anyone would like to help me make playlists for my oc's 🥺 i don't listen to much different music (i listen to like 2 bands) but i want to make playlists matching my oc's music taste

i have their tastes figured out pretty well but idk how to find music lol

#bo listens to grunge and industrial rock and punk #svante listens to softer music like idk lana dle ray or smth idk a lot of that music #violet listens to a lot of instrumental music but idk what the genres are called #like calm and pretty instrumental music :) #deerie listens to wildly different genres idek where to start like they listen to anything but #a playlist based on their vibes would be maybe lofi with some alternative rock mixed in as a treat #peach i havent decided yet but definitely electronic and synth stuff #but like also the kinda electronic music thats really heavy and industrial #txt
