General Discussion

Covid-19 no school=no fun whatsoever. So, I've been stress-listening to music...
any suggestions? I might hand out a few as well...

For me:
No rap/dirty music/annoying computer music
Swing and Jazz are great
I can stand cussing, just not excessively
Pop and Classic Rock are fine
Classical/Instrumental is okay
Tangos please

For you:
Royal Crown Revue (band)
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (band)
Cherry Poppin' Daddies (band)-really not clean but whatever
I'm Beginning to See the Light
Bei Mer Bis Du Schon
Port au Prince (Travels with Bettie Page)
The Contender
Zip Gun Bop
Stormy Weather
Friday the 13th
Mr. Pinstripe Suit

This will be (An Everlasting Love)

Hello @BoundlessSkies

I had to listen to Rhapsody in Blue for a piano project. Its a good piece.

I have a musical recommendation,
Hadestown (i think it has a jazz like feel i think)

If you can tolerate rapish stuff i would recommend Hamilton, and 21 chump street (Both are by the same person who wrote the moana soundtrack(I love lin manuel miranda))

A band that is popish and also like punkish is Waterparks(i love them and they have a very upbeat energy)

sorry if these are things you end up not liking

@BoundlessSkies

don't have anything else for you i think but i think you might like everything moves by bronze radio return. it's poppy jazz/swing idk

i literally don't know genres, but can you let us know what your favorite bands are? i love recommending music

@coopdrifter
-i put my fave bands up above.

nocturne op 9 no 2 in e flat major

LORN

And also Cavetown because he’s a wholesome young boy

Jules Gaia does a lot of electro swing, which you might like! My favourites of his are "Oh What A Whirl" and "Extravaganza"

Cosmo Sheldrake is another artist I listen to a lot, though I don't actually know what sort of genre he does (I'm really bad at telling different types of music apart). I find myself listening to "Come Along" (the song I found him by!) and "The Moss".

First Aid Kit - "Lion's Roar" is also quite good!

That's about it for music I know that isn't very electronic, I'm afraid. I hope you enjoy!

Oh! I think I've heard Bei Mir Bis Du Schon before! If it is the song I'm currently thinking of, I've got to say it's really good! (And a song I haven't listened to in a while, I'll go listen to it again now you've reminded me!)

@BoundlessSkies

The album Chet Baker Sings
All the Cats Join in
