Some witchy occult rock, like: Year of the Cobra, Alunah, Bathsheba, Messa, Snakemother, Windhand, etc. Ocassionally very heavy but mostly just great background music to get some work done.
I'm going through Kate Bush's discography, I didn't give everything a full listen after Stranger Things came out. I ended up ordering Never For Ever on vinyl.
I mean, the Government of Canada of all things decided to freeze people's bank accounts for participating in a peaceful protest that asked for a policy in to be implemented in March that the government ultimately implemented in October.
They were so threatened by this protest that I need to remind you were asking for a policy that was implemented that year anyway that they ended up invoking the descendant of the war measures act for only the second time ever.
The first time the descendant of the war measures act was invoked, it was because the FLQ terrorist group was committing acts of violence including kidnapping a provincial minister of labour and a diplomat to Britain. The second time it was invoked, it was because of a peaceful protest with bouncy castles and feeding the homeless.
For the last week, I've been listening to classic country from the 60s to the early 80s. Anyone who defaults to "I don't like/listen to country" is missing out.
BUT... I started a new job today, so I needed something to both boost and calm myself. First thing I thought of was the intro to "Go" by Pearl Jam, so the first half of Vs was my soundtrack this morning.
I tend to be one of those that doesn't listen to country (but maybe some folk-esque stuff), who are some artists from then you've been listening to that you might suggest?
I started out just wanting to listen to Tanya Tucker's "Delta Dawn" because that song is awesome. Listened to the whole album and really liked it. Then just listened to some playlists/radio stations with that as a seed.
The Highwaymen albums are good, but suffer from 80s production. That group is a killer starting point though. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and...
I never even considered listening to Kris Kristofferson, but I've enjoyed his songs when they come up.
Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn... And I'm still just scratching the surface.
