What are you listening to?

Before I discovered We're Alive, I often listened to audiobooks while I was working. My job affords me the luxury of not having to deal with anyone but the computer screens in front of me. I don't have to talk to my coworkers or the public. I have a random playlist of music from various genres ..punk, old school /freestyle, mathrock ( my recent favorite is Foals), moody broody 80s new wave and angry late 90s stuff like Puya and Sevendust. Throw in a little Sarah McLachlan, and I guess that's what I listen to. It really depends. When I'm writing, I typically will listen to a cd on loop. The last thing I wrote to was Bertine Zetliz's My Italian Greyhound. I was writing about loss and longing and it just seemed to amplify my mood.

Radiohead is one of my favorite bands. I was in my 20s when that they first hit the music scene and again, that desperate yet hopeful music resonated with me. Overrated, underrated...you can't deny how beautiful their songs are.

Been listening to these guys nonstop since yesterday when I discovered them. They're an unusual band for me to like as much as I do, but whatever lol. I love the riff for this song, and their bassist is excellent.

I never noticed this thread. Skimming through, I was glad to see a lot of cool music. Although, some of it was cringe worthy. I was stoked to see Mogwai, a lot of the punk/ska and obviously, Radiohead. Radiohead and The Strokes are probably my core favorites. I wanted to share some post rock, which is a sub genre I listen to a lot of, but to be honest I've been on this emo binge lately, Tiger's Jaw, Menzingers, The Front Bottoms... And

It's horrible, I know.
