I'm always on the lookout for more tracks to add to my gym mix. Here are a few from mine that I think work well, with YouTube links. This is rock-heavy; I do love hip-hop and R&B in my gym mix, but everything I have there is really well known.

• Julian Casablancas - 11th Dimension
• Robyn - Hang With Me
• Nielson Hubbard - Captain of the Teenagers
• The Wombats - Tokyo (Vampires and Wolves)
• Teenage Fanclub - Is This Music? (instrumental)
• Steriogram - Walkie Talkie Man
• The Go! Team - Huddle Formation (Original UK Version)
• Korn - Word Up
• Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction
• Rob Bailey & The Hustle Standard - Hungry

Any concerts you guys plan on going to/went to within the last/next few months? Last Friday there was a Kendrick Lamar concert I went to, it was pretty fun, although there were a lot of "odd" people there. This Friday I'm going to attend a Journey/Def Leppard concert. I also plan on seeing Pouya this summer, he's an underground rapper that I like, I also want to go to an Iron Maiden concert in Germany with a close friend but I'm not sure if I should spend the money at the moment.

I've recently been going through Youtube playing any song I can remember at 1.25x speed and some of them are just way better that way. A few of my highlights have been:
Africa - Toto
Rockefeller Street - Getter Jaani
Tetris Theme (though this one is kind of cheating)

Hi everyone,

Each and every hobby has a start. I'm going to learn how to play the piano. For this, I'm planning to buy an electric piano. There's a regular grand piano I have access to, but they come without headphone jacks, and until I get better I want to limit the scope of audible torture to my own ears as much as possible. So, I could do with some of your advice.

This list of requirements is not meant to limit you in your advice, but serves more as a guideline, to give you an idea of what I'm looking for.

Hard requirements:

• Headphone jack
• The sound library must contain at least a 'normal' piano sound and an electric piano sound (the more it sounds like a dirty Rhodes, the better!)
• At least 128 voice-polyphony
• At least 76 keys, but preferably 88

Soft requirements:

• Weighted keys
• Simulated hammer action
• High repetition
• Ebony and ivory key feel (don't like the sensation of smooth plastic)
• MIDI support so I can hook it up to a computer to try out other sound libraries

Completely unnecessary but cool:

• USB port
• Bluetooth compatibility

If you've learned to play the piano, especially as an adult, any advice you may have for me would be more than welcome, too.

Thank you!

Not sure how many Rezz or even electronic music fans there are here, so I'm interested to see the response.

Rezz released this single from her upcoming album yesterday.

I'm a huge Rezz fan, and this song is awesome, but I kind of hope that the full album will have some more variation. I like the song, but it came on autoplay earlier today and for a second I questioned whether it was from Mass Manipulation. It seems like Rezz is rehashing the same formula just a bit too much. Sure, every artist has their sound, but I kind of expected something a bit different.

A new, relatively unknown artist that I think has been incredible so far is 1788-L. He sounds like a mix between Porter Robinson and Rezz. I hope Rezz can add some more variation to her distinct sound to make it a bit different, similar to 1788. Maybe the upcoming deadmau5 collab will be promising in this regard?

What do you guys think? Again, overall, great song.

Are there any fans of Kanye West here? Kanye just released ye and I'm really liking it. My favourite song is probably Ghost Town, the vocals and production on that track are amazing imho. What are your thoughts?

My personal theory is that this is similar to the phenomenon of "Don't Stop Believin'" having a surge in popularity in the late 2000's. I know that was commonly attributed to the song's use in the finale of The Sopranos, is there a similar usage of "Africa" that triggered its sudden prevalence in popular culture? What did I miss?

(Not a complaint, it's reminded me of how great 80's music is and I'm listening to an 80's station right now).

Looks like it's been about a week since @Flashynuff's post, so I figured I would make one for this week. As seems to be tradition, I'm going to borrow @Whom's description :)

What have you been listening to this week? You don't need to do a 6000 word review if you don't want to, but please write something!

Feel free to give recs or dicuss anything about each others' listening habits.
