Do you ever come across a song that you just can't stop listening to? It doesn't happen to me often but I rediscovered Joe Esposito's "You're the best around" track from Karate Kid last week and I just can't stop listening to it. It's so fucking good. It's like they took every 80s movie soundtrack and condensed it into this song. Listening to it I feel like I'm in a Gillete commercial.

I think I've probably listened to it a couple hundred times now.

That song is, in fact, a masterpiece.

Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007, does that count?

[Aptorian]

It does. How ever I often find that purely instrumental music, like most of the classic stuff, is much easier to listen to on loop than songs with lyrics. At some point it will usually get on your nerves.

I just can't get it out of my head once I start!

Today, I've had the John Mayer album "Room for Squares" on repeat for over 5 times now. I'm getting a bit annoyed by his voice, so I think I'm switching soon, probably to Richard Bona.

Basically any song that I really, really like.

While I was reading Stonemouth, I had a couple of Ludovico Einaudi's albums on repeat. Granted, it's not a single track but they do cycle round quickly enough.

Quite a long track but sums up the album pretty well:

I love how it has subtitles for the guitar Solo!

I was only aware of this because of memes hating it and never bothered to listen to it.

What the shuddering fuck is going on there?

I find that most of his stuff is pretty inter-changeable. I have the albums and if any tracks come on my iPod I could not tell you which CD they are from. Somewhat high brow elevator music

[Morgoth]

Tord Gustavsen might be Norways most gifted jazz pianist. I could listen to his albums non-stop, and quite often do when I wish to relax. Read a book. That sort of thing.



I also can't count the number of times I've listened to any one of Martin Tingvall's albums. He's Swedish, but still a fantastic pianist. I'm not sure I can name anyone better within the genre. Gustavsen is probably the better composer, but Tingvall has a technical skill that is simply astonishing.

His albums are somewhat similar but they do each have their own feel. Don't think I'd describe them as elevator music, but each to his own.

This is a track I've often had on repeat—partly because I'm not massively keen on the rest of the album and partly because I just like this particular one:

[Gnaw]

Morphine's Cure For Pain album is one that tends to get the loop treatment.




Sadly drugs did Sandman in.

Would we have good art without drugs though?

Damn you. Now I can't close that tab.

Perhaps not anymore, but when I first started reading the Malazan book of the fallen I listened to this on an almost constant loop. It almost became the soundtrack to the books for me.
