[Discussion Thread] Music and cubing

[pjk]

My main source for tech-podcasts is https://twit.tv/. They have a weekly show on Google, Apple and Microsoft, a general show and a fun show (and sometimes the specials or enterprise/security/law related ones). Because my work is mostly Microsoft related I also follow the podcasts from Windows Central and Brad Sams and I have followed Andrew Zarian for a long time. There is quite a bit of overlap between these podcasts but I like to here different perspectives. And this one is not a podcast but just some fun entertainment during lunch https://www.youtube.com/user/FrontPageTech (Also Mrwhosetheboss and Marques Brownlee)

Cool, I'd never heard of twit.tv, will listen to some episodes soon.

The wiki doesn't show how many listeners they get each week (it says 5M downloads a month). I'd be curious - obviously it is a lot with the sort of ad revenue they're reporting. It's quite insane how many people can engage into a single episode of a podcast. Sam Harris of the Waking Up podcast has written and sold like 5 NYT Best Sellers over the years. He said in 1 podcast today he releases, it reaches more people than all of his books ever have, combined. It's remarkable. I've heard Joe Rogan's podcast weekly reaches like 10M+ people. I just created a new thread here to discuss podcasts.

What do you listen to while cubing?

Also, on the topic of music, Katy Perry has that one song in her album Witness where she mentions the Rubik's Cube. Lol. The song's name is Deja Vu.

Louie Zong's mini-album "Apples"

I have a couple artists I listen to depending on how I'm feeling. Mainly tobyMac, NF, and a select few songs that Dude Perfect plays in their videos(most by Zayde Wolf). I also listen to a bunch of podcasts; mostly @Kit Clement's Layer by Layer(hurry it up, I don't want to wait another month) and @CornerCutter's CornerCutter podcast(waiting for another episode ).

Shawn Wasabi's "Mac 'n Cheese" mash up uses cube noises.

Edit: 4:10 Cubing noises begin

this is my playlist I listen too when I am cubing... I also use it for pretty much everything else too. I have Spotify premium so I skip songs all the time when I am not feeling them.

@Kit Clement's Layer by Layer

Yes!!!

 

[Etotheipi]

tobyMac, NF,

Yeeees those guys are great. =D

NF

Yes! Not too much while cubing though. I listen to more upbeat music when cubing.

A lot of his music is upbeat. Paid My Dues, No Excuses, The Search, When I Grow Up to name a few.

When I'm in a strange mood I'll listen to Kyle Exum's "Trap 3 Little Pigs" on repeat.

 

[The Cubing Fanatic]

As a true country boy, I listen to my local Country Music Station.

I suppose I meant more positive and less serious rather than upbeat. All of those songs are fire!

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

I listen to mainly instrumental progressive metal or djent while cubing, never anything with words because I begin to focus on the words rather than the cube. This is also true while I’m at work or outside of work studying.

Great bands for getting pumped up while cubing:
Intervals
Polyphia
Cloudkicker
Pomegranate Tiger
Chon
Currents
Modern Day Babylon
Wide Eyes

Bands with vocals in - similar genre:
Soen (not as heavy)
Uneven Structure
The Contortionist
Tooth grinder
Currents
Upon a burning body

Yeah, NF's songs really make you think, the lyrics are deep.

 

[Cubinwitdapizza]

I listen to really high bass Dubstep/EDM music all the time. It may not work well for other people tho.

Pretty much me, and also some songs that are close to me and songs I'm playing in orchestra for school.
