Based on that * looks like he might be adding more songs to that list. 🙃

    Why go to the effort of creating a playlist when you only need one song?

    Ironically, Hudson Mohawke has been a figure in idm and instrumental hiphop for ages, releasing his stuff on the legendary label Warp (same that Aphex Twin mostly releases through), having founded a label of his own, having produced records for Kanye West and other rappers back in the early 2010s. But some people think he came up with the viral ‘Cbat’ thing to get ‘famous’ in some way.

    I also saw that in the YouTube comments, which is dumb as shit. People on Reddit are far too credulous, but this time, they dug through the OP's history and pretty unanimously decided it was real. I personally looked and agreed; it lines up too well. You don't develop a Reddit history over two years that lines up behaviorally and stylistically with a fake, batshit TIFU post you hope will go viral (wildly inconsistent on Reddit by that time even for really good posts) hoping to use it as an ad for your music. The chances it's fake are very slim; the chances it was orchestrated by Mohawke aren't even worth considering.

    Also, the most popular uploads of ‘Cbat’ on YouTube combined have 15.8 million views, and YouTube pays out something between 0.002 and 0.005 bucks per stream (probably on the lower side for music). So this whole culmination of his musical career would've brought him somewhere from 31 to 79 kilobucks over the past three and a half years from YouTube, and likely even less from other services.

    I've fucked to Radioactive.

    Not great. Pretty sure it wasn't the song tho, but I don't think it helped.

    I'm so old, I recognize all the jokes about how shitty Imagine Dragons as the jokes about Nickelback.

    I'm trying to think of which band was the early '80s equivalent of Nickelback. I'd probably say Journey but today's kids wouldn't believe it since their reputation has improved recently.

    Seriously, I remember doing an audio-focuaed tech demo to some basic PM whose favorite band was Imagine Dragons and at the time wondering how much life was left in my career

    I've been hearing people rip on Imagine Dragons forever but I had no idea what their music sounded like, so I went and did a deep dive on them a couple of years ago. I was like "wait a minute, I've heard all of these songs -- how is that possible?" Then I realized I've heard them all while grocery shopping late at night.

    I’ve got a product demo presentation to give about this time tomorrow. I’m not sure if our soulless corporate music is any better.

    I don’t feel old, but I see this old guy in the mirror.

    Oh, hello, me.

    I made the mistake of preloading classical music. Nobody but nerds and perverts likes Mozart, apparently.

    If you can, just play what you like. Expose them to a tiny bit of reality.

    Boy, do I have music for you. But, judging by the timestamp, it's a bit too late.

    Music like that was actually used in product presentation videos — and still is sometimes. The libraries mentioned on that page sell readymade music for use in films/tv, advertisement or whatever. KPM are the most widely known, I think: there are lots of their music on YouTube, including entire discs.

    Famously, ‘Ren and Stimpy’, ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ and ‘It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ use old library music for their soundtracks.

    I don't know what everybody's laughing about, it's not a good song for sex but it's perfectly fine for potential sex.

    The star in the window title suggests that they have already made edits to the file that still need to be saved.

    Only time “Sex” and “Imagine Dragons” have ever appeared on the same document together

    I dated someone in the 90's who later became a cable tv celebrity. I remember that White Zombie's Thrust! was part of the sex playlist. Now everytime I see them on TV all I can think of is busting multiple rubbers while pounding to Thrust!.

    Good times.

    I’ve always had Thriftworks’ “Fader” as best doin it playlist. I love love love Deftones (they played the longest live set I’ve ever been to, almost three hours and it was AMAZING) but I don’t see them as doin’ it music.

    It’s a long electronic album without lyrics, but full of weird, slow, organic, sometimes wet? melodies and bass and stuff.

    Favorite Deftones album(s)?

    Oh sick, like wet as in reverb? I love that.

    As far as deftones goes, I do have Around the Fur on vinyl so I tend to go for that one but I love Adrenaline, Whie Pony, Koi No Yokan, and their new album private music is pretty good!

    Honestly I don't think they have any bad albums.

    Ooo Around the Fur is a great one to have on Vinyl! Whit Pony is tied for me. Agreed on the no-bad-albums, but those two really stick out to me. I’ve only seen them play once, and it was a bit after they released their self-titled. They played pretty much every song from Around the Fur and White Pony, soooo good :3
