Todays music question is not who your favorite band is - but what music works when changing a mood, or getting you out of a funk.
i think its easy to think of music that accompanies being heart sick or depressed (the Smiths always come to mind). but what about the opposite?
To lift my spirits i usually go with dub reggae, or upbeat electronica like the Avalanches. I'll also play "honey bucket" by the Melvins to get me out of bed when the forces of lethargy are mounting.
Also just straight out fun music -- the b52s, Confidence Man, 100 gecs, the Ramones, etc.
i would also suggest going to Soundcloud, and entering this artist, Sybil, who is UK DJ, who makes some amazing music (under the classification of "deep mind' music).
the great music Kelefa Sannah suggested her to me, and a specific set of music called UTE mix, that takes me to a very calm and ambient space.
maybe tonight give that a whirl - go to soundcloud, and enter Sybil, UTE mix, and listen. its not what you would think of as traditional music. Its something more immersive and combines old and new sounds of your life.
so what are your suggestions and why?
hope you're well!
