The thing is most of music discussion is “heres a song” but nobody really tries to listen unless its already a song they like. Thats fine its not a criticism but the overall discussion lacks a dive into what music is as not something to be consumed or background noise but such a strong medium for emotion.

I want something like a megathread for music every month where whoever partakes will share not only songs but albums or bands where we talk about what it means to us and why it should be considered for listening. Giving each other recommendations and engaging with each others choices and why it gives us resonance.

I grew up with my dad being a musician. Every car journey, every school holiday i would browse his huge selection of CDs. We’d write music together he’d remix my tracks id review his and we’d discover band after band after band together.

For me this was like half my personality just sharing even if we didnt have the same taste at the time id learn to appreciate his and him to mine it just hit different. Watching him rehearse and play live, giving feedback on what he had been writing.

Bring back music, bring back standing in a HMV using the disintegrating headphones to listen to random tracks.

Anyway yeah id like to see if me running a monthly or idk quarterly music comm megathread would be something the peeps would like.
