Hey so

I've been screwing around with the network connecting the communications devices a little. I know there's no Spotify here, no internet, not a lot of music, which sucks. My MP3 player came here with me, so I figured maybe some people might like to have at least a few options. It might not necessarily be to everyone's taste, but it's better than nothing (probably).

I've uploaded the contents to the database, you should be able to access it or send/receive songs at any time.

Turns out they already had some music on there too, so you can poke around theirs and see if you find something you like more. I haven't gotten to go through it all, but at least some of it looks like 21st century Earth stuff.

Sidenote: you're welcome to criticize the contents of my MP3 player, just know that I've never felt shame in my life & I can and will sing all of these karaoke style to your face. IDK if you really want to live through that experience.

( feel free to threadjack as you like )

I haven't gone thru all of them, but can I work out to any of these songs? None of them are familiar to me.

If you've any recommendations from the list I'll take that too.

Hey, thanks! That was a great idea.

Your list isn't so bad. It sounds like home.

I feel like I know everything I could ever hope to know about a stranger's psyche, looking at that playlist. MMMBop was particularly inspired.

I think the theater is the ideal place to regale us all with the whitest rendition of no diggity possible. preferrably with a couple cameras pointed your way.

no seriously, please get me a recording of that. it'll be my happy lil pick me up on hard days.

gonna give you brownie points for marvin gaye though.

Important question

Are you one of those people who tries to sing all of the harmonies in a Beach Boys song at the same time?

How have you not serenaded me yet?

[ this... is surprisingly comforting? a little piece of home. ]

You have good taste. I wouldn't have minded some more jazz, though.

It's strange to listen to music from the future. I truly don't understand this place.

[Trish is from the same time period as Bruno, so this has a similar effect...some of this is oldies her mother listened to, but the rest?

She can dig it. Woeful that not a lot of her favorites made it on there, but this is far more than she ever expected. Don't look a gift Ian in the mouth!!! She'll definitely have to scrounge the civilian's stores later...singing from memory is hard.

Also yeah, that the heck. Music from the future slaps, actually.]

I was not expecting Alanis Morrisette of all things. With that in mind, if anyone criticizes your taste they would be inherently wrong. :/

Thank you for having a genuinely good idea though. I didn't consider we could treat the network like Napster.

You know, I think a karaoke night for the theater would be a fun. But I'm probably biased.

[Very.]

You're not a little distressed by how many of these songs seem to be a constant across multiple versions of Earth?

@marion.adamopoulos

[cleaningsolutions]

Oh. I hadn't thought about doing this.

I have a lot of music and some of it is the same, but it's not very well organized.

[annoyware]

What, no Digby Vermouth? Skag Phallus? The Immortal Songstress Taylor Swift??

[ ...look. Jumping forward several hundred years in music is... a... stretch... in taste... that Nina is not quite able to make. She's not even sure she recognizes most of the instruments used in these songs. "Songs."

But it is a marvelous thing to learn another way these watches can be used, and to have this insight into the development of different cultures. ]

Thank you for sharing your music. It's very different from what I've heard before. I didn't recognize much of what made the music - the sounds are very different.

With that disclaimer I'd thought it would be a lot worse, but instead this is kind of like turning on an alt rock station in the 90s. I forgot some of these songs even existed.
