I'm your average nerd. You can feed me sci-fi/fantasy book recommendations and I won't hate you for it.

In return, I can post some music recommendations (mostly synthwave, dreamwave, ambient and some avant-garde type post-everything metal).

an aspect of LLMs I don't know if I've seen people mention before is the way they will mirror the language and reasoning of the mentally ill, I've just seen a transcript of someone very clearly suffering from schizophrenia whose delusions and logic were completely reinforced by the bot responses.

If you want some flamenco-tinged symphonic (!) #darkwave from Venezuela, check out King Stephen's latest album, Esoterica:

kingstephenmusic.bandcamp.com/album/esoter...

I can't tell if the style mixes are grinding or spectacular yet, but pretending it's a twisted JRPG soundtrack works.

If you need a mood boost, may I suggest Knorkator's 2023 concert:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Ok...

It helps if you understand the (poetic, German) lyrics. But there's a simple joy in watching a 60 year old man doing jumping jacks on stage while singing in operatic falsetto to German industrial/rock

Hiensynty is one of my favorite Tenhi songs. They manage to create a haunting and intimate soundscape with a minimal array of instruments: a piano, voice, drums and the lightest touch of synth.

Noch einmal: Wenn Nazis Nazisachen machen, ist das nicht die Schuld von Linksgrünen, Woken oder Dragqueens, die arme willenlose Konservative durch unverschämte Fairness-Forderungen in die Hände der Rechten getrieben haben. Wenn Nazis Nazisachen machen, ist das die Schuld der Nazis.

If you're new to #synthwave , I only found out Dynatron has remastered one of his most popular albums, Escape Velocity, in 2024. This is a great way to get into synthwave as I think it's one of the milestones of the genre and has aged very well.

N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth series is spectacular science-fantasy. Every time you think you know what's coming, it adds a twist or reverses a sad old trope.

I know it won awards, but even some Hugo or Nebula winners can be boring and derivative. This isn't. #sci-fi #fantasy

Embers is an absolute belter of an album by GIAA and Embers (the song) isn't even the best one. Still, here it is because you've earned it:

A slow #dreamwave song for a slow morning, Blue Night by Tonebox. This particular album (Nocturn) has more dreamwave/chillwave stuff as well, but some of it with a touch of darkwave, which may or may not fit your mood.
