This specific video has helped me buckle down and get shit done so many times. I’ve even made loops of songs I have copies of on my computer for this kind of thing. The repetition OH MY GOD it tickles my brain in just the right way so as to boost productivity. It’s great how that can cancel out the ADHD when I have deadlines looming.
Video game music does the same thing. Death by Glamour gets me in the ZONE.
I could gladly listen to a song 5000 times, but when Spotify stops shuffling my playlist and plays the same 15 songs on repeat every day for a month I start to notice and get a little bothered! Don’t get me started on enhanced shuffle, either
My problem is that I want to choose when to listen to the same song a million times. When spotify gets in the loop of playing the same songs over and over, it becomes very difficult to force it to break out of it when i get tired of it. If I tell spotify to shuffle my playlist, I want spotify to shuffle my goddamn playlist
I use this to randomise the order of a playlist, then I don’t have to use the Spotify shuffle: https://stevenaleong.com/tools/spotifyplaylistrandomizer
It’s a shame something like this isn’t built in.
I like to do that with great albums. I’ll listen to the whole thing, just, over and over and over again. Until I’ve got pretty much the whole thing memorized. Then I go on to another one. I’ll only do it that way if the whole album is banging, though.
Past examples include:
- Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
- My Morning Jacket - Circuital
- Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the 36 Chambers
- Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid Maad City (& DAMN)
- RadioHead - Kid A (& OK Computer)
- Jeff Tweedy - Warm
- The Tragically Hip - Day For Night
EDIT: couldn’t find the full Tweedy Album, so just linked my favorite song from it
Me when I discovered Ren a couple of days ago listening to his music constantly for two days.
You will not be disappointed if you check him out.
Disclaimer: I’m all about the lyrics, so you need to listen to it all. This guy has everything though.
I listen to Sega Mega Drive playlists. Usually the relaxing ones. I’ve played them so much that the song progression is normal to me. I know which one will play next in the list. Sometimes a song gets stuck in my head and it impedes my thought process, so I put it on and don’t have to think about it anymore. Usually the Sega songs, they are designed to be repeated.
Check this one out, just let it play until the end https://youtu.be/KrOayhOn-tw
