So, what did I learn from this experience?

I am filled with existential dread. Oh, wait. I just hadn't done bills tonight. Never mind.

Back again like they never kicked us out, twenty thousand years of shout shout shout!

I don't remember which song by the Justified Ancients of Mu-Mu (also known as the KLF, furthermore known as the JAMs) this is from, but these are the relevant song lyrics.

Yoooo, I actually own their CD! Hold on, let me see if I can find it!

...rumages through hundreds of CDs....

Aha!

Prepare to be mildly jealous!

You learned where the absurdly laissez-faire moderation of this site draws the line. And you learned that they could stand to draw it harder, but are okay with the fact that they didn't because you happened to benefit. That's not nothing.

I'll admit to being mildly jealous. I only have mp3 torrents of that album and the full and uncensored 1987 with all the illicit ABBA samples. They also have a ton of miscellany that I'm only able to download from YouTube.

I'm pretty sure I found it while thrifting, and only knew about how cool the KLF are from one of my many, many deep dive Wikipedia binges.

A highly-truncated list of music I've discovered from Wikipedia deep-dives:

• The KLF
• The Orb
• Turangalila-Symphonie
• Mike Oldfield

Have I mentioned how much I hate BBCode formatting today? At least the editor is smart about automagically adding new bullet points when I hit enter.

Did somepony say The Orb?

Tell me about that third group; I haven’t heard of them. And in turn, give me some genres or moods and I’ll give you some album recs!

I'm 98% certain that I have Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld and Orbus Terrarium somewhere among my closets or bookshelves. I might have U.F. Orb or Blue Room as well.

The Turangalila-Symphonie is the namesake for Leela from Futurama. I'd describe it as the soundtrack to every alien invasion B-movie distilled to symphonic perfection. The dude who wrote it was an ornithologist as well as a musician, so he puts in some unadulterated transcriptions of birdsong in there. IIRC, the 4^th movement is the one that has a scherzo for piccolo and bassoon that clearly sounds like birds tweeting.

Mood & Genre challenge

• Free jazz
• Soundtrack to summon a dance apocalypse
• Mashups made after 2016 (/r/mashups has a fairly comprehensive listing of the best mashups from 2015 and earlier)
• Something that sounds like Music for 18 Musicians or Love on a Real Train
• Mallet percussion-heavy music (any genre). If it's jazz, Terry Gibbs is one of my reference points.

Ok, I'll admit to being a hipster and deliberately having music preferences that read as a shitpost to any sane person.

My friend is going to pinch hit for me on the mallet percussion, so I've got a good playlist coming for you on that

For everything else, you might like 20 Jazz Funk Greats by Throbbing Gristle. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5OnNjqowjiWrom2fvtFbqOaaJnW3vLA4

Also finally got around to listening to this album recently and it's just so weird and good.

...and I found this tab in my sidebar like 4 months later. Neither Firefox nor Chromium plays nicely with JACK running and it was only recently that I found that I have to turn off JACK to watch YouTube until I find a better fix.

Chumbawamba is one hell of a band. They have an album entitled Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records to shit on Live Aid. Just reading the titles on their albums is a fun time, like reading AxCx song titles but less edgy.

YouTube is telling that this percussion playlist doesn’t exist :-(

JACK stands for the JACK Audio Connection Kit. It’s audio middleware for Linux that allows applications to route their sound output to the input to other applications. I think the problem with the browsers is that they try to go directly to the ASLA output and get a busy signal because JACK is running and taking those ports.

The mad cow PSA at the end of Chumbawamba’s Amnesia could be repurposed to a Bush-era anti-abortion political ad.
