What Songs do You Listen to While Programming?

[bleak plover]

Looking to listen to some new tunes :)

[ashen scaffold]

i was about to say a random indian guy on youtube, then i saw it said songs

to actually answer the question, i just shuffle my spotify liked

https://open.spotify.com/track/3Rho0TjpvbauID06XhM9aO?si=c800f964e63141eb
https://open.spotify.com/track/76zg1a9DvGpEHVVQh7Yuv1?si=82d448b93a7f4f18
https://open.spotify.com/track/51qs2DBzG2ANnZgkgXrVzO?si=8d2a2f31f2344ddb

https://open.spotify.com/artist/3YQKmKGau1PzlVlkL1iodx?si=f516b99d436e4fdd

There are some suggestions though

Also, https://open.spotify.com/artist/7vk5e3vY1uw9plTHJAMwjN?si=f03096060d84419c alan walker is pretty good, depending on the song, it fits with programming pretty well too

and last one, simply because its funny, a song from a 2nd grade science assignment

[copper pelican]

Avantasia 😍😍

[ashen scaffold]

yee, i honestly havent listened to any of their other songs

that was one my mother listened to when id visit her

[copper pelican]

These are my favorites from them: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2ckAnESd3fYsIoQmGQDq0f?si=wO0GHDlSQUKPu0gd8e4-JA

Especially Farewell, Draconian Love and Book of Shallows

Tøp and Alan Walker are great as well of course. Need to give the other ones on your list a listen as well, I guess :D

[ashen scaffold]

you dont have raven child on here...

[copper pelican]

ye :/ I didn't want the playlist to get too long, so not all good songs from them are on it

[ashen scaffold]

Bruh I have a playlist with 1100 songs

[copper pelican]

well there is a difference between playlists of a certain genre or for a certain feeling/vibe or best ofs of artists. If a best of contains too many songs it's no longer a best of imo

I mean the playlist I listen to most of the time recently has nearly 3k songs in it 😂 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6UVJj3AHBFT8viwNSZURHq?si=7a597f1a9a344669

[bleak plover]

Thank you guys for the playlists, I've started listening to them while programming.

I love your music taste Tim! Very good stuff

[copper pelican]

that's great to hear haha :) what are you listening to mostly? 👀

[bleak plover]

Currently vibing to the songs here

[bleak plover]

These are nice to just have in the background, but unlike the other playlist which has some fun sing along songs

[copper pelican]

Nice :)

My question was more regarding your own taste/playlists though ^^

[bleak plover]

Ahhh, I see. I like metal, rock & roll, punk, jazz, and some grunge here and there.

[copper pelican]

Nice, sounds good :) feel free to share your playlist(s), I'm always curious to explore new music

[fossil edge]

john coltrane, bill evans, stan getz, etc. good classic jazz

[ashen scaffold]

Taylor Swift >>

[copper pelican]

best music to listen to while programming in Swift 🙃

[ashen scaffold]

I just shuffle my liked songs on spotify

Give me a little bit and I will send my Spotify profile here and you can see all my playlists

[ashen scaffold]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that

[ashen scaffold]

Here is a cool one. One of the things I like about it is it makes references to certain programming things

It's kind of a sad song though

[modest jacinth]

This is the playlist I listen while coding
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4g1AVtJ9SEp5hC6pgTgjYd?si=e47b0dd00a594557

361 EDM, techno, house songs

[copper pelican]

Ahrix - Nova, haven't heard that in a long time <3

[modest jacinth]

😛

I've been making this playlist for 5 years

[copper pelican]

I rarely listen to edm nowadays, but K-391 and Ahrix still is a vibe

[modest jacinth]

I have some songs of K-391 too

[copper pelican]

summertime is a banger

[ashen scaffold]

i agree

[violet eagle]

Ivycomb, Ethan Ross, Stellar, Fast Boy, and RudyWade

[tender birch]

Klaus Schulze

his album Kontinuum is just perfect

Other than that I don't really put music on while programming as I feel distracted by it

[vale echo]

Something I can dance at. African tunes. I like humor in songs.

[cyan pewter]

Here is my playlist(I like babytron if you couldn't tell) https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMv8eyuTivcnq-EYoPifRdc-wQZZbz01Y&si=L00fBObY-y2ql3Kd

I've been listening to this on loop

[lime coral]

Depends what you want and like, but I think Radiohead and Pink Floyd (and more) is nice when programming (and not only)

[bleak plover]

I have found myself listening to Radiohead and Pink Flyoyd while programming

[bleak plover]

His album is ok I guess, it has some masterpeices in there, but I don't think I could find myself listening to it while programming

What's your favorite song on the album?

[ashen scaffold]

I've only listened to the one song lol

[bleak plover]

Oh, whoops

[ashen scaffold]

dumb bird

[bleak plover]

I though it was the INSIDE album in it's entirety

My browser is zoomed out a lot

[ashen scaffold]

no, just the song lol

[bleak plover]

so It's hard for me to read

[ashen scaffold]

zoom in your browser

[bleak plover]

No

[copper pelican]

I listened to this cover for hours in repeat while programming yesterday & today:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFxi9edQlKk

[ashen scaffold]

this cover is amazing

[copper pelican]

Yes, I can't get enough of it somehow 😂 it's a pitty it's not on Spotify. Think I'll download and cut out the "merry christmas" stuff at the end so I can add it to my Spotify at least :D

[ashen scaffold]

I thought about doing the same lol

[copper pelican]

Lol I will send you the file xD

[ashen scaffold]

ty :)

[bleak plover]

That's actually a really good cover

[little thicket]

You raise me up

also Let it go

[copper pelican]

My new go-to on repeat song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKxump1Lco8

[bleak plover]

As much as I like music like this it's hard for me to pay attention with this kind of music when programming

[copper pelican]

usually same, but sometimes I just need some extra energy xD and if it's a song I know really well (and after listening to it on repeat for a few hours) it's really easy to only concentrate on programming ^^

[bleak plover]

Not music, but something I have been listening to as of late is creepypastas

Something about them are relaxing and easy to listen to

[rancid void]

I listen to literally everything so heres my playlist, it includes all kinds of metal, rock, rap (Polish, English), pop and everything else: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7v8qaJIYKUCu7Rsp8Jocsy

[frozen shell]

i use pandora lol

everyone uses Spotify

[copper pelican]

Spotify Supremacy

[bleak plover]

Spotify with ad block

[frozen shell]

pandora +

[rancid void]

I mean it's only available in US

[ashen scaffold]

imagine not having a job that pays for your spotify

[obsidian tendon]

I listen to Sonne by Rammiestien 😂😂. Or basically any rap music. It gives me some weird adrenaline

[rancid void]

Just sonne? You're missing out on so much gold

[obsidian tendon]

I listen to Du Hast, Amerika and so much more

I love Rammiestien

And also Phonke.

[empty rampart]

what if i don't?

[empty rampart]

no, i don't audio. only if there is some tv show with audio what happens 2 or 3 times a week… not even radio…

[bleak plover]

I’ve advanced

I now have Spotify plus

[empty rampart]

adguard in hosts file. beat it

no ads in whole OS even if it's yt embed here (i have discord app)

[rancid void]

but why tho? Keeping up whole infrastructure behind music streaming isn't cheap and you're cutting it's last way of earning money

[bleak plover]

True, some people don't have that money

[copper pelican]

Yay nice 🎉

[bleak plover]

I know in middle school, and early in highschool I didn't have money to get something like Spotify premium

Where now it isn't an issue, but if I never became attached to using Spotify thanks to ad blocking I wouldn't have ever got a premium subscription

[copper pelican]

I agree. When I was in school and had no way to pay for online services, software, etc, it was great being able to get stuff free/pirated/etc.
It's better and makes more sense to pay for it, though (as you want them being able to continue and improve the service), but it sometimes just isn't possible

Different topic: do you guys use the new audiobook feature of Spotify? 👀

[bleak plover]

There's an audiobook feature?

Never knew, but to be fair I don't read...

[copper pelican]

Yes, it's rather new

Released a few weeks ago

[copper pelican]

That's the point of audiobooks 😂

[rancid void]

I agree

[empty rampart]

they don't pay artists anyway

(it's better to go to a real concert if you'd like to support artist…)

[modest jacinth]

honestly sometimes they charge so much you start to wonder if you're really supporting the artist

sure, the organisation is expensive, all the people there helping the concert are gonna get paid somehow, the costs of renting a place (stadium, discotheque, etc.) and travel

But still, charging 250€ for a taylor swift concert with tens of thousands of people just seems like they're stealing from you and you're allowing it

[empty rampart]

there are artists and artists. some of them have money and as far i saw they will never make anything cheap… (yk, infinite business growth)
