Recommend me something to listen to while working.
Recommend me something to listen to while working.

Help! YouTube's recommendation algorithm stopped working for me. 😞 Here are the terms of the bounty:

  • FIFTY mana per suggestion of a specific song/podcast/other audio I've never heard of before that I enjoy listening to while working. (Absolutely no audiobooks, please. New episodes of highly popular podcasts I've probably heard of before are okay.)

  • All submissions need to be direct links to the audio, as hosted on YouTube or Spotify (only). There is no limit on the number of submissions; bounties will be awarded as soon as I add them to my permanent rotation of work music tracks/listen to the podcast and enjoy it.

Some general tips for success:

1) I have ADHD. Nothing grating or "sharp" or poorly produced. This type of stuff can be good: https://www.youtube.com/live/CmMrm4BpQHU?si=Hhgi8noHlJrQmjYC

2) I enjoy lofi but I've probably heard everything with a play/view count over 10,000. Also, the lofi needs to include some spoken word content in it to be good. This playlist is one of my favorites: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOzDu-MXXLljl1tV6em0XnZS6LWs-gky3&si=qEHFJbEAldfow6Sz

3) Taylor Swift is cool. Non-cringe pop is nice, but needs to be remixed/covered to not distract me while working. No supermarket-tier pop instrumentals, please. This kind of stuff can be nice: https://youtu.be/0fJJUBZiXh4?si=_iw3tT9bty_TBTOf

4) The podcasts need to not have insufferably dense or boring people talking to each other to be compelling. I prefer the non-scripted conversational shows as background noise instead of the ones with high production values like "The Ezra Klein Show" or other NYT shows. I used to enjoy this show but it's gotten quite stale recently: https://youtu.be/s8Ykp_lFK5E?si=q-Bnj4laasQtuVMZ

5) Currently on a dream/hope/weird/corecore kick. These can be good background if done right: https://youtu.be/MfkD16san8w?si=puiBUbWJBLvBrPIP

6) I end up listening to this quite often: https://youtu.be/WPv7ip-SgQU?si=qIFq-me-MphA4o8D

7) Pomodoro/background stuff is cool if unique/recorded on location like this: https://youtu.be/C1GghWN5UkU?si=t5L_nPIQud707Xlh

8) The most likely tracks to win are niche/new lofi tracks that have Japanese language spoken word content in it. The music doesn't have to come from anime but it can. This track is one of my all-time favorites: https://youtu.be/sNuJ14bCp60?si=AhKGNR2trPNAQXft
