A bit of Korean and Chinese punk. A smattering of Chinese grunge. Some Malaysian Buddhist music. Some Taiwanese Buddhist death metal (no, really!).

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.

There are two artists that I really like, and I pretty much have their entire discography.
Took it as a challenge to make a "Best of" playlist for each containing only songs that would fit on a single CD or less than one hours worth.
It worked out!
This version of Where Did You Sleep Last Night has been on repeat today https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ctuyHOym7IY
I listened to the track at https://lemm.ee/post/41528735 (listentothis community) the other day, then had to listen again today 'cos it was stuck in head.
I rewatched Zodiac, so I've been listening to Hurdy Gurdy man and muttering and puttering along to the tune for days now.
Been running through the Shaolin Afronauts' five album suite The Fundamental Nature of Being. If you like jazzy things and wanna step into something new - I'd still recommend Fela Kuti as one's intro to afrobeat, but the Shaolin Afronauts are damn incredible in their own right and absolutely worth a listen. Here's the opening song from the first part!
