Your sister sounds pretty cool.

Helix Nebula, by Anamanaguchi. Chiptunes + Rock; by comparison, this one is much moreso beeps and sound.

I'm currently hooked on a remix of a tune from Starfox Adventures.  I've never played the game and know nothing about, but this is a really good song.  At the least the remix is anyway, I don't know what the original sounds like.  Been listening to a fair number of remixes lately.

Also a lot of REO Speedwagon for some reason.

I know, like me, you guys have all been waiting for the new Grinderman album. Preview it here (for a week I think). It will surely rock.

Hey folks, I've got a job for you.

So, a course I'm in currently revolves around reading Plato's The Republic.  In it, Socrates extemporizes are painful, mind-numbing length about how to build the perfect society, and the perfect soldiers to guard it.  Central to the idea is censoring everything that could make them distrust the state they will die to defend, and love fighting for it.  This includes music.

The professor is offering an extra credit assignment, and I'm doing it for the Hell of it.  The assignment is to pick five songs that you would use in your super-soldier building project, and five songs would absolutely never let them hear.  The criteria is it can't be anti-establishment or mournful or anything that might take the fight out of them; it should be philosophical, energetic, and should inspire you to hack up people with a xiphos and die gloriously for your city-state.  Of all the playlists turned in, the prof will pick her favorites that she hasn't heard before to send to her husband, who's being deployed (to Korea, but still).  That also means it shouldn't be anything "obvious", for example, "He already has everything by AC/DC, so don't bother."

All I can think of that she probably hasn't gotten yet is The Wicker Man, but I'd rather hear what you crazy metalheads and otherwise come up with.  Pitch and bitch to your heart's content.

That is an awesome assignment. I hated The Republic so much when I had to taoke it up.

[Kagus]

I don't suppose it's been mentioned that, when a loyal devotee of Socrates put his designs into practice, everything went completely tits-up and Soc was eventually executed for his crimes against humanity?


Anyways "Us and Them" is melancholy and anti-war, with a certain root in philosophy as it comments on the absurdity of war.  Definitely not something you'd want a soldier listening to.  I don't know how "obvious" Pink Floyd qualifies as though.  I can always hope that it's fairly obvious, but you never know.

For positive stuff, I can't really say.  I don't listen to much music that falls under the stated guidelines.  This, maybe?  It's got a little bit of that warrior thing going on.  Can't say how philosophical it is though.

This, possibly.

Listening to Phaedra by Tangerine Dream. Incredibly spacy.

What they shouldnt hear.

@Aqizzar: what do you mean, precisely, by "philosophical music?"  Are you talking about the lyrics, or the structure of the song itself?
