Wrecking my hearing for wordcount
Tell me, oh internets, can you recommend some music? I'm looking for something with a similar feel to the "chanty monk bits" of Carmina Burana (aka, "Fortune Plango Vulnera" and "O Fortuna"). Not that I necessarily want more chanting, but something with the same brutalist-architecture swirly energy would be great.
I've spent about a week being obsessed with Ringo Starr's "It Don't Come Easy". Which is somewhat inconvenient, as this is a song I don't own, but it turns out YouTube can be quite useful. (If one can stay the hell away from the sidebar links, of course.) I ended up making a mix of other songs that fit with the same mental settings. (And yes, the chanty monks are on it. It works for me. Let it never be said that my tastes aren't idiosyncratic.)
(The title refers to the fact that putting in the good headphones and cranking the volume seems to be the one thing that'll get me going when the words otherwise refuse to come. This is a useful thing to know, but I'm starting to feel like I've just been to a rock concert.)
