Null's music taste / music for Null

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Here are three songs I think are null/podcast adjacent and pretty groovy

Coin Operated Goi (Voltaire)

Masculine Women and Feminine Men (1926)

Make Them Hear You (Nine)
 
I feel like it's a 50/50 shot that Null will either love some of this and feature one on the 'cast someday or will fucking hate it. It's Pat the Bunny.

We don't get tired, we get even

The hand you reach out is empty, as is mine

Make total destroy
 
Stoned in Gielinor by Flickers from the Fen

My brother had to inform me that Gielinor is the world in Runescape. Hey @Null I'm so sure you'll like this album I'm willing to risk your ire with a tag. You'll love it within the first 20 seconds of I'm even more retarded than usual.

His guitar work and voice catch is really my style but his music isn't landing right. It's just too whiny. If he had been raised right in the mountains of East Tennessee he'd probably be a fucking badass bluegrass singer, but he's from Vermont so he's just going to waste his talent and cry and suck cock. "Anarcho-punk"? "Riot-folk?" Really? He needs to listen to Poor Man's Poison instead of AJJ.

I haven't seen Watsky suggested but I think you'd like some of his songs, Josh. I've seen him live and it was fun, the energy was great.


Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains


The Tallest Man on Earth - King of Spain


Jose Gonzales - Heartbeats


Andrew Bird - Sisyphus

Null has the second best taste in music I've heard yet, and the MATI streams have introduced me to lots of good music I wouldn't have known about. I hope to return the favor and add to others' libraries.

Bluegrass
Old Salt Union - Where the Dogs Don't Bite
Old Salt Union - Madam Plum
Old Salt Union has become one of my favorite bands. Anything from the albums with the dog or the horse are solid. I encourage everyone to check out those albums; these guys are excellent and I wish them more success than bluegrass ever gets.
The Infamous Stringdusters - Planets
The Brothers Comatose - 120 East

Swing
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Mr. Pinstripe Suit
Caro Emerald - That Man
Royal Crown Revue - Hey Pachuco!
Benny Goodman - Sing Sing Sing
Mili - String Theocracy
Mili has been the greatest musical discovery for me from the MATI streams. The Miracle Milk album is surreal and ethereal in a way that really did it for me. Painful death for the lactose intolerant is worth mentioning.

"Sophisticated" sounds for when you max out your fedora's tipping angle
Sting - Englishman in New York
Caro Emerald - The Other Woman
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale
Van Morrison - Moondance

International
Nice german songs someone introduced me to.
Faun - Rosenrot
Faun - Federkleid
Faun - Walpurgisnatch

I know Null has said nothing ever said in Spanish is worth anything, and while I can't disagree, the following Spanish songs have landed well with me.
Adolescentes - Me Tengo Que Ir
Wilfrido Vargas - El Africano If you can manage to find a translation, it's supposed to have light hearted racism, so good luck!
Sergio Vargas - La Ventanita
Juan Luis Guerra - Ojala Que Llueva Cafe
Marquez - Danzon No. 2 A neo-classical piece with a definite Latin American influence. Anyone who likes classic, neo-classical, or instrumentals should give it a listen.

I like Japanese music and felt no one could hear what I heard until Null acknowledged they take forgeign music genres and put interesting spins on them.
Mint Jam - Rival One of my first Japanese songs, it will always have a place in my heart. It's just hard rock.
Mint Jam - Platinum Beat Aggressive hip hop beat, groovy guitar, starry synth, and smooth vocals comprise this PLATINUM BEAT. One of my favorites.
Seatbelts - Too Good Too Bad Everyone knows the famous Cowboy Bebop intro, but I like this a little bit more.
Paradise Lunch - Guns & Roses Jazzy and energetic, a great tune for a pleasant drive.
Kyu Sakamoto - Ue O Muite Arukou Known as Sukiyaki outside of Japan, it's in that old crooner style similar to Sinatra.
GYARI - Moonlight Stage 10th Remix Beautiful melody and after the drum solo, there's a bass trio, which is rare to hear.
GYARI - abgm I'm not sure that's its real name, but the idea is that it's just a two-chord song, A flat and G minor. It's quite the delight, sounding like a group of friends jamming for fun with the challenge of only having two chords to play with.

Just to be cheeky, I'll include this as an honorable mention. In the "before time" when blending cultures was fun and not "appropriation," someone showed it to me. If Spanish and Japanese are shit in Null's eyes, then Spanish X Japanese = shit squared, I'm sure. But he also said he'll try anything once, which is a good attitude to have.

"Black people music" before intergenerational welfare dependence raped the inner fire from the American Negro
The Tymes - So Much in Love
The Edsels - Rama Lama Ding Dong
The Genies - Who's That Knocking
Barbara Lewis - Baby I'm Yours
The Four Tops - Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
Ike and Tina Turner - Proud Mary CCR is great, but their version sucks compared to the raw energy of this one.
Grover Washington Jr. - Just the Two of Us Bill Withers' beautiful signing voice features in this smooth track.
The Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love
Earth, Wind, & Fire - Fantasy

Miscellany
Stan Rogers - The Idiot The most based words I've ever heard in song form. No one sings about self ownership, only that wet ass p-word.
Stan Rogers - The Field Behind the Plow Shoutout to all the farmers!
Sonata Arctica - Flag in the Ground It's about the original American Dream. The lyrics after the solo, "I made my way into the great unknown, land by the river and a new-built home. I am the land and the land is me. Freedom is everything and we are free" touched me deeply as a child, and to this day, fill me with an emotion like nothing else.
Flobots - Jetpack Hip hop, but it's in 5/4. An unsual time signature for any genre, but I've never heard it in hip hop.
Fort Minor - Believe Me Possibly that introspective stuff Null likes. The words remind me of all his failed friendships, "but you proved to me, unintentionally, that you would self destruct, eventually."
Styles of Beyond - Nine Thou (Grant Mohrman Sueprstars Remix) I didn't think Null would be into that hardcore gansta shit, but he ended a stream with The Beast by Tech N9ne. I liked it, so I'll share this hard track too.

What an immense pile of suggestions. I hope some people find something to like among it.

Based Stan appreciator. Was just thinking about him too while reading through the thread. I think a lot of his work is too maritime for Josh, my wife complains that every other song is about a shipwreck or the decline of Canadian fishing, but I love them and she still smiles when I sing her “Lies” or “Forty-Five Years”, they’re both very sweet folksy love songs. I do get depressed about Forty-Five Years, considering he didn't even live to see 45, never mind being able to be with his wife that long.
 
i'm really frothing at the mouth for bicep to release this officially
like with techno idk if it's a "you had be there" phenomenon but these songs tore me apart live
weeee.gif
im kinda surprised my aesop rock search didn't turn up people suggesting just the entire impossible kid album btw; I mean I guess one commenter was right about him being a Negative Nancy but he's also being a true artist about it. the song about his cat rules, also the one about his artist regret, also the one where he goes to the juice bar,
 
Depeche Mode - "Hole To Feed"

CKY - "Sink Into The Underground"

Duran Duran - "Notorious"

Vanilla Fudge - "You Keep Me Hangin On"

Average White Band - "Cut The Cake"

The Meters - "Cissy Strut"

Les McCann & Eddie Harris - "Compared To What?"

Atlanta Rhythm Section - "So Into You"

Kreator - "Phobia"

Jethro Tull - "Cross-Eyed Mary"

I know Josh has said that he likes more introspective hip hop, so here’s a really great song from Kanye and Andre 3000. Andre's verse in particular is probably the best verse of the 2020s. This is from 2021 before Kanye really went off the deep end. There’s also an appearance from DMX who I know Josh likes but I’ll let you hear what it is yourself.

memory ping from today's outro song:

grasscut slaps they have a number of cool songs

this song casts a spell that removes music preference-related neurosis and insecurity in souls with the necessary constitution
 
I always think of my father when I hear Simon.
Paul Simon - Loves Me Like a Rock

Paul Simon - Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

Since you said you like introspective hip-hop.

And because you said you like bluegrass.
 
It's 'Little Mouse' - a prog rock song that dwells upon a friendship between a man and a mouse, taken from the spoof school program Look Around You. Included here, on this thread, because it reminds me of the paternal relationship between Null and his news hamsters, in particular the lines "I respect you my friend, I''ll encourage you my friend..."
