What are you listening to?

The Eupho Guy_v1legacy · Apr 6, 2015

Currently I'm listening to the sound of rain falling on a tin roof, as we've just lost power, but before that I was listening to some Dream Theater (Systematic Chaos) and before that I was listening to Ben Fold's Five (Sound of the Life of the Mind and Whatever and Ever Amen). No links, because I'm using my tablet and trying to link to YouTube with this thing is a pain in the ass.

Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.

to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

But as for you who forsake the LORD and forget my holy mountain, who spread a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,

Far be it from you to do such a thing--to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?

But if our unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?

I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.

Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.

Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.

You know I was going to post something in a youtube box or whatever. Then I realized I don't give a shit about anything any of you have posted, and I can't imagine anyone else would care what I post ether. Sorry about that I just came to the profound realization that nobody cares.

But seriously, I do care since I do end up finding new songs to listen to and shit... Plus, I'm pretty sure the OP cares somewhat given how they're keeping this thread alive at times...

Well that would be interesting if I was talking about anecdotes. But overall I would say I'm in the majority in saying I don't care that much. Threads like these appear to stay alive mostly because it's easy for them to be "personal" to a lot of people. Not because they're necessarily engaging. I'm not really compiling this kind of thing is fine, but it's intrinsically shallow. Witch again is fine. We all need to stretch our egos at times.

Uh... Okay... I don't see how a thread like this one, personal or not, can lead to one showcasing their ego outside of "why does this thread exist in the first place"-type commenting, but whatever... You don't have to tell me twice about your opinion about this particular kind of thread in general... The only reason why I replied to your original comment was because of the whole "nobody cares" bit since you seem to be the only one who is even saying that particular phrase right now...

But, I digress... At this point, we're probably leading up to an "agreeing to disagree" kind of situation, in my opinion, so for that I'll just leave off with this since it was playing as I was typing this reply down:

I know I had already posted on this but that was a week ago so time has changed (ok yes it's just an excuse to post this awesome new favourite song I had discover).

I just loved the positive message and tone to it, kind of like restoring in one faith in a way (it like finally finding shelter from a hash storm). Lastly yes I know I am behind when it come to the current music trends.

rasta111 · Apr 6, 2015

See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another.

Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land--against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land.

The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.

then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave your people for an inheritance.

Really? For one There is no real reason to be passive aggressive about this. For another this entire thing is about the music YOU like, the music YOUR listening to, and displaying that socially. Displaying your "good choice in music" is all about your ego. There nothing wrong with that I'm not compiling about this thread existence. I'm merely postulating about why it dose so well despite not really being about anything substantial.

The lack of any conversation is kind of my proof that nobody cares that much. Outside of this conversation what's going on? A quote or two saying "hay I like that song" or maybe a joke? That's the thing about survivorship bias if a negative result means your not going to come back with any information you're only going to find positive results. In this case you care enough to say that you care. Well ok, but most people don't care enough to say that they don't.

rasta111 · Apr 6, 2015

The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small-- and for destroying those who destroy the earth.

He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes.

The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?

Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."

So... Would this thread be better, discussion-wise, if OP also asked us why we are listening to a particular song (or a set of specific songs) in the first place, which leads to various posters replying to each other with other songs that they might also want to listen to "right now" and thus turning into this pseudo-recommendation vibe? Or would it be better if it turned into a discussion-based equivalent to this one forum game where the poster had to quote someone in the thread (hopefully someone who hasn't been quoted yet), given them their opinion on the song in said quote, and end their comment with a different song they're currently listening to "right now"? Frankly, both of those sound pretty cool to be a part of in their own right, but then again that could just be the bias of me caring about what songs are under other people's spoiler tags in the first place...

But yeah, we are the only one's, quoting-wise, in some form of conversation and that's just because of you originally bringing up something and me replying to it in a quoting fashion... I can only assume the lack of quoting other people's song post (outside of the first page, for example) is due to leading to a "low content"-based comment, which could easily be avoided by still posting a song or two and then commenting on that in some way, shape, or form text-wise...

Now, as for the rest of your comment about the ego and the "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"(?) comment, I don't really have much to say on that except, I think, that threads like these are just easier to post on when the "discussion" part of said thread boils down to "post X and you're all good" unless someone makes the first move and quotes someone else on their initial post... Plus, not everyone wants to post how they really feel about a particular thread in said thread, especially if the thread come off less harmless than [insert cynical concerning topic here], without thinking that they're going to get "flamed" for doing so... Then again, I feel like I'm slowly getting off-topic as weird as that sounds, since it has nothing to do with what this thread was trying to accomplish in the long run, so this part of the discussion could be taken to PM if we really wanted to...

Anyway, in terms of this thread topic in general, I do kinda wish that some of the songs I am currently listening to right now were available in video-based form like on YouTube, so I end up having to pick the last song I could even find a video for just to justify the "spoiler tag" portion of the post... With that said...

Every song I'm currently listening to after this particular song are Gangnam Style-based "mashups" that, as far as I know, are only available on <link=https://triple-q.bandcamp.com/album/gangnamcore>Bandcamp... unless the video in question is under a vastly different name, I guess...

Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"

Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

I have been in an avant-garde mood lately.

The first one is by the guy who is going to be Kingpin. (Bill Murray?) Vincent D'Onofrio with violinist Dana Lyn. This one called "I'm a Hamster" Listener's Warning: Strong Language

The other is by Courtney Barnett. It's called Pedestrian At Best. I'm trying to nail down what she sounds like. Closest I've came is The Pixies.

rasta111 · Apr 7, 2015

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Jesus told them another parable: ?The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, ?Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.?

He answered, ?The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

?As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.

Then Jesus said to them, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him.

Just finally discovered this piece of music:

After two mashup links, I found the source of the original beat for both of them... and it was worth it, in my opinion...

I don't know how to be much clearer on this. It's fine how it is. I'm not complaining about it. I'm just trying to recolonize it for what it is kinda shallow but still fun.

But yeah, we are the only one's, quoting-wise, in some form of conversation and that's just because of you originally bringing up something and me replying to it in a quoting fashion...

Well that's an interesting theory, but I'm going to assume people just don't care that much about other peoples music. That one makes many less assumptions. So yeah that could be the case, but I don't think it's likely.

Now, as for the rest of your comment about the ego and the "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"(?) comment, I don't really have much to say on that except, I think, that threads like these are just easier to post on when the "discussion" part of said thread boils down to "post X and you're all good" unless someone makes the first move and quotes someone else on their initial post...

Really I'm not trying to be too stand offish, but that is a total shifting of the burden of proof, as well as being kind of a straw-man. My statement had nothing to do with "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." It's that in the lack of sufficient evidence you assume a null position. People have not shown that that care that much, so I'm going to assume they don't.

If you disagree whatever. You where right this is an agree to disagree situation. More over it's that I just don't feel like putting in the effort.

Can I just reiterate I have no problem with this type of thread. It's fine.

Oh and Sabaton-Soldier Of 3 Armies.

-conversational snip-

Of course, I know you, yourself, don't have a problem with this thread... which did lead to me thinking about how a thread like this could lead to some sort of discussion-esque value... Then again, I did forget to mention that this was thinking in terms of future threads and was, in no way, trying to interpret your lack of problem with this thread as, well, a problem that could be solved... and for that, I'm sorry for any misunderstandings...

With that said, both our theories are technically both right and wrong in a general sense, so I'm not sure why mine's any less of an "acute" assumption as yours on a basis of having more assumptions to, theoretically, back it up... especially since I'm not discrediting your theory outside of how it's presented in text form... Then again, this could be a underlining case of "optimism vs pessimism", but that would be reading a bit too deep into each other's textual exchanges...

Also, as for the rest of my post, it's not so much that I was assuming a null position on my part; I was mainly trying to look at all the potential bases without thinking too much on the negative or, as you were starting to notice, going into a "straw man" mentality... Now, I did have something else I wanted to say, but I already put the effort in typing/deleting two different paragraphs, which wouldn't really mean much since you're stating that "you don't feel like putting in the effort" right now and, at least, one of those potential paragraphs could be interpreted as me trying to "stand off" against you...

And, on that note, I was basically listening to the Persona 3 soundtrack before finally posting:

Do everything in love.

For if, while we were God?s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds
