What are you listening to right now ?

Last few days it’s been ā€œFocusā€ on Apple Music during work.

Not normally my bag but the exposure to different and/or simpler melodies and grooves is definitely giving me new ideas.

Something I read recently that really struck me as a learning experience for me was the notion that when you have a hobby or passion you can grow it in different ways other than actively doing or performing it. For example, instead of watching a movie you read about movies. Or, instead of playing music, you listen to it.

Sound simple and intuitive I know! But I had never really thought specifically of listening to music as a secondary passive way to improve my playing and/or creativity. Probably everyone knew this as obvious and I’m just dense.

Either way, I love the idea and it feels exciting in an odd way. Now I recognize it when I do it and get more from it I think.
 
Nice! This reminds me a lot of Faith No More which I love!
That’s an interesting comparison but I can hear it now that I listened to one of their songs - I’ve never been a fan of them but they do have a sound that I can also hear in BTBAM. For me they’re just BTBAM, their early sound was hardcore and they eventually gravitated towards prog metal
