hi hello again! this is the part of this particular webbed site in which i discuss the music that i enjoy and/or am attempting to learn. my favorite artists at the moment are haken, symphony x, and several others, i haven't been particularly in the mood for any certain artist or album lately unfortunately :(

opus by nospun

hello, i return! this time i'm here to recommend the album opus by nospun. it's a really cool and interesting prog rock album that my dad and i both enjoy :)) it seems to be about a death in a house with several tenants but there's also an aspect of it where the main character is a composer having issues with his thing and some sort of weird prophetic journey, i think it's cool even though realistically i have no idea what's going on

haken

so i've been listening to haken for a few years now and honestly i would recommend their music before anyone else's. they're a progressive rock band that got really big in 2013 for their song cockroach king, which they then broke down and made two story albums about. idk i just think that's the coolest thing ever, especially when you listen to them in order and you can recognize the bits of rhythm and melody from the original song. also the way that lyrics from across the albums all come together in messiah complex part five is so so so cool and i can only hope to do something so amazing one day ok thanks you should listen to them

keeper chat

ok so this isn't music per se, but it's a podcast that i've been listening to a lot recently, it keeps me really entertained at work. essentially it's two people who used to be zookeepers and every couple of weeks they talk about an animal and learn some stuff about it and spend even more time being goofy about it. idk why i felt the need to put them on here but i really love listening to it, it makes my whole day better and more interesting. also love pulling out random animal facts, thanks flora and fauna even though you'll probably never see this :)
