I won't lie I ever expected to see rammstein in the list. A nice mix of styles is always a good choice and I to like sneaking in a heavy track or 3 while zoning out with a play list.
Hahaha, very much the same in my house too! It's either too heavy, too fast, depressing or weird. It's not my fault I wanna listen to a video game soundtrack from 1987, its awesome! And then yes some Metallica followed by lady gaga then Bach. I like to be challenged. Ive also been banned from playing any Tori Amos! She's depressing and weird. I don't get women sometimes, really I don't.
On the basis that ‘all art aspires to music’, I never design stuff without it. I’m perhaps hoping that some of that ‘art’ will bleed through and make me better (or more accurately less bad). I tend to go with soundtracks, because I find they are good at mood setting… a particular favourite is Goblin's Zombi.
Wow Rammstein came out of the blue there, but one I use for 'focus time' too. Am going to have to send you off to listen to Snail Mail, Syd Matters, and Sufjan Stevens; some of which might float your boat too.
Describing your favourite music to people who don't know you is like describing your dreams 😆
From the incredibly little I know about you through this post, check out Ukrainian band Dhaka Braka, violinist Kishi Bashi and my current faves Beta Radio. They all have done excellent live sets on KEXP, who seem to get some indie magic on their station.
I kind of lose the lyrics myself when I'm driving through Boston. I have a playlist called 'Driving Music.' It's filled with jazzy metal fusion. Some of my favorites are Exivious, Sithu Aye, and Arch Echo. You have a good list. I'll be listening to those today in my truck. Here's a few from me.
I love reading your posts as well as people’s replies. The “woke” thing had me smiling while stranded on the side of the road and waiting for a tow truck. 😊
My late-diagnosed ASD/ADHD brain could often end up going down rabbit holes of work play-list choices, so I have fallen in with listening to Youtube tracks of "brown noise" which work well to gently tickle and soothe the fringes of my grey matter. These tracks are often processed recordings or rain and thunderstorms.
When said over-active brain threatens sleep, I find a playlist of slow central movements from Mozart piano concertos lures my brain to follow it down an interesting path and lay it down gently.

I’m in Sales, so I’m definitely gonna listen to that one later. Thanks

Have you done desert Island discs yet?
They're going to make a TV show on it - great, will definitely watch. And would like to see another installment in the series

But, your own words fit music so well? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnCzMtUt9nM
Thanks for another great post!
Hey, are you ever going to do another book in the Straw Men series? I thought they were very good.
