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.

Guy with autism here, for some reason this song actually helps me concentrate on learning my vocabularies, for some reason
272 times? Those are rookie numbers.
I practically only have one playlist. Some of the music on it was added in the last millennia.
The repetition really is key. Some of the music on my list have several versions, same song but different recordings, but it has to be the right version. Usually the first one I heard. Having insert streaming service replace “my” version with another is a jarring experience.
I hate that! Especially when it was the correct version and then magically one day it is some other one. One time it played that awful pop version of Professional Widow by Tori Amos and that was very upsetting until I found the normal version that sounds awesome.
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.
My music is a compost pile. All the new stuff I listen to is on top and it gets listened to on repeat and the music is less engaging the further down the stack it goes, even though it was on repeat when it was fresh. Stuff at the bottom of the list may only get played once in a year or even less.
My brain has changed a bit over time. I used to need that constant noise, it helped things flow. Now I prefer quiet. Noise breaks the flow.
I see you. I get thrown off when my liked playlist is shuffled or songs go missing. The world is chaotic and I just want consistency.
Nobody can take your flac collection.
Happy sailing!
Wasn’t expecting to see II from Sleep Token here. Fuck ya 🤟
That’s really II? I didn’t realize he was non anonymous
II is the one standing in the back. The guy up front is Brandon Toews from Drumeo
Do we know for certain that Brandon isn’t II?
Ah, gotcha. I knew that was II back there but I didn’t recognize Brandon Toews. Thanks!
The guy in the front is one of the producers for Drumeo on YouTube, not a member of Sleep Token.
I play these on repeat occasionally.

What the fuck IS rong with me?
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
Yep, and you can hear it a lot of the time you’re not listening to it too.
Only 272 times? I sometimes listen to the same song for days.
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 guess, I have too many (new) songs in my playlist. Would I otherwise get in a programming tunnel easier?
Yes, I know, there is music for programming, but it is all new to me, hence too exciting and I get distracted. I have to test things.
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
are you me? lol
Just playing a Collective Soul compilation on repeat does the same for me.
This is cool too, though.
Idk from what i heard from friends im the strange one for not listening to songs on loop. I just get bored if i listen to the same song two times.
