RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

“Seraphin” by echos
A melancholy love song written in Latin and sung like an ancient hymn. It’s beautiful.

Whatever I find on Radio Garden app.
A few years back my wife picked up a used media server she thought we could use. A couple weeks ago I finally cracked it open and found that it contains, among other things, all the Billboard top 100 songs for every year from 1968 to 2008.
I threw all those ~4K songs (some are repeats) into a playlist and have been sitting through it.
Did you know that the Irish Rivers recorded a version of Shel Silverstein's "The Unicorn" set to music and it was, apparently, a big hit? The past really is a foreign country.
I'm in a mood lately.
It's a mix of death metal, some thrash, folk, bubblegum pop and some hip-hop.
As in, all mixed together, where I'll have some kataklysm going for a song or three, then some Debbie Gibson, then some anthrax, then some Britney, then some Biggie, then some bygones back to some amon amarth, etc, etc.
Normally, I tend to sink into a general range and then cycle to another for a few days. No idea what's spurred this rotation, but it is what it is
Erik Satie - Gnossiennes
Mostly ambient, dub techno and minimal house. I post some of it to !umd@sh.itjust.works One neat trick I learned this week is that you can choose random sorting at bandcamp tag pages: https://bandcamp.com/discover/electronic?s=rand (it's called "surprise me" in dropdown)
Friendly Fires, Elbow, but mostly going through my own recordings from the last 25 years and see if there is something I want to remix, merge or finish. It is mostly (Acid) Techno, house, breakbeat, trip and hiphop, over 400 projects so it will take a while categorizing because a lot of my music have dumbass project names like “recording 001” or “14 March” for instance.
