What are you listening to RIGHT NOW while playing DF?
« on: March 02, 2008, 05:21:00 pm »

Unicron Theme from the original Transformers movie.

Also: What should be the unofficial theme song of DF?

Crazy Train by Ozzy in my opinion.

'nuff said.

Portal music.

Mainly because it puts me in the right mood to be "experimenting" with my very short "test subjects".

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

The Album 'Into the Dark' from 'Erdenstern' then im playing on my haunted Waste fort. The music was written for pen and paper games but suits very well for the location im playing.

Thronar - Crimnor Valora.  Nothing like some good northern European metal for Dwarf Fortressing.

I use Pandora, so it's anything at any time, right now it's The Transition, by Hawthorne Heights(Yes, I like Hawthorne Heights, there's nothing wrong with that)

Horns.  With some birdsong thrown into the mix, and a guy tooling around on a bicycle yelling about something.  It's not "paper" this time, and I can't figure out what it is he's saying.


I don't have a portable music player, and if I ran anything else on this machine while DF was running, I'd get a whopping 1/2 FPS.

Shostakovich, Symphony No. 10. Wicked awesome music right there, some quiet and introspective for when you're just working along, some angry and militant for when the goblins come.

Right now I'm listening to the hum of a computer fan with Squidbillies in the background (there is absolutely NOTHING on.) Wondering when the motherboard will get here so I can use my main computer and it's 10 some GB of MP3s.

(cough)

Anyway, I like the default music for dwarf mode...its hypnotic.  For adventure mode I typically open up winamp or iTunes set it to shuffle and it shuffles between Nightwish, Steel Attack, Epica, Metallica, ACDC, Within Temptation, and whatever else ended up falling into the endless void known as the "Misc. Music" folder.  Theres stuff in there that I forgot I had.

I don't change the music based on what I'm doing though.  I usually change what I'm doing based on the music.  Many a village was slaughtered because 'Steel Attack - Diabolic Symphony' came up while I was shopping.

Angtoria, Iron Maiden, and Jethro Tull.
Maiden during battle, Tull during times of peace, and Angtoria pretty much all the time regardless.
Of course that's just the main ones, I'm sitting on about 18 GB of various music right now.
I never lack for good tunes.

Edit: and as you can see from my sig, I listen to a lot of Carnivore (best band ever)

Shinjuku Thief.  A vast number of instrumental pieces for any occasion, plus the occasional strange electronic/tribal mix (and I mean actual tribal music, from Papua New Guinea etc. and not the electronica sub-genre).  Their last.fm has some decent stuff:
