I didn't see a thread dedicated to what we're listening to while just chilling.

For me, I've been missing the 80's an awful lot. So I've been doing a music run through them.

 
I’ve been listening to moonvampire a lot recently. If you’re into goth music, I’d definitely recommend checking them out.

Not a new band for me by any means, but I’ve also been listening to the Cure a lot, too. Mostly the Seventeen Seconds and Disintegration albums at the moment.
 
For some reason, not only did the song Queen of Hearts, by Juice Newton pop into my head randomly, I also seem to know all the words and started humming it all the time.

It also came with a faint memory of a roadtrip with my dad as a kid, where he had a cassette tape with this and other songs like Master Jack playing.

So now I've added the song to my cooking playlist, sometimes using a spoon as a mic to sing along, or just air drumming with the beat lol.

Master Jack is one of my favorite songs at the moment, I've shared it recently elsewhere.

I think I probably heard it as a kid, because when it came on the radio, it was instant imprint on my mind. I ended up looking it up and saving it to my "songs to write to" list.
 
I've been listening to either pop-folk or electro-pop (sometimes indie-pop) in the last few years. Mainstream has its charms when combined with the classics sound. When I was first discovering music I was listening to rock and roll and folk records I could find at the time (I had a record player and wanted to use it). Most of that music was influences and recommendations. Afterwards I listened to a lot of glam rock, post-punk and '80s rock music.

I'd never heard this song until you shared it. I've come back a couple times to listen and watch. Thanks so much for sharing it
It describes pop-folk genre in my opinion, don't know if it's their best song but I've had few of their tracks and albums on repeat. Second best UK band that I know of (first one would be Radiohead).

Radiohead has been a favorite band of mine for over 20 years. I'm not sure I could put to words just how much their music has meant to me. I'm of the opinion they are one of the best in the world, ever.

I will definitely be looking more into Alt-j and this genre, pop-folk.

I liked most of Radiohead's music, with every album sounding in their style but at the same time with characteristics of a new genre. I read that part of the band has been playing under the band name The Smile in the last few years, will probably (re-)listen to few of their previous and recent songs.
 
I was introduced to this through Red Planet. I guess it sounded like a sci-fi song. It's a real bop, the kind of song that goes with any pastime. The way its hard edge melts away 3:15: perfect. I loop this thing for hours.

Alt-J is one of those bands I listen to when I need my brain to zone out. Tessellate is one of my favorites, but really that whole album is fantastic to just exist to.

Yeah they have a calming effect. I like the "she makes the sound, the sound the sea makes" wordplay in Dissolve me, and both the video and the song are catchy and listener-friendly. I've mostly had songs with music videos from the first three albums on repeat, the recent album I don't know that well yet, listened to it once or twice.
