Throughout middle school, I went through many phases of musical tastes, including the work of rapper Lil Wayne, classic rock band AC/DC, and 80's synthwave group Depeche Mode. Experiencing a wide variety of genres has helped me be a more open-minded listener, and has taught me to appreciate musical value. Music is like therapy for me. Through music, I'm able to engage my imagination and let my mind paint a pictures of atmospheres that couldn't exist in the physical realm. My favorite way to listen is while laying in my bed, with no outside noise. It is in this setting that I'm able to fully immerse myself in whatever I happen to be listening to at the moment; nothing gets smothered by the sounds of life outside of my headphones, and not even the most soft and subtle intro or fade-out goes unnoticed. As an introvert, music is what I hold dear as a means of escape or unwinding, and I'd give it up for almost nothing. ]]> 2017-09-07 02:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185361007 mattmercier97 https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185365108 A very atmospheric track from young English indie rocker King Krule. ]]> 2017-09-07 02:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185365108 mattmercier97 https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185368324 James Blake is an excellent singer, and I love that he pairs his vocal talent with a more electronic sound. ]]> 2017-09-07 02:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185368324 mattmercier97 https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185369242 I get a very David Lynch sort of vibe when I listen to this group, particularly this album. It's kind of an ominous and eerie song. ]]> 2017-09-07 03:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185369242 mattmercier97 https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185370472 The score of a film plays a large part in how much I enjoy it. Nine Inch Nails founder Trent Reznor spends his time collaborating on movie scores these days, such as 2014's "Gone Girl." Very sinister style on this track. ]]> 2017-09-07 03:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185370472 mattmercier97 https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185372087 Mac Demarco]]> 2017-09-07 03:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185372087 mattmercier97 https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185373131 Ian Curtis]]> 2017-09-07 03:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185373131 mattmercier97 https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185373536 Photo: Pitchfork.com]]> 2017-09-07 03:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185373536 mattmercier97 https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185374441 Photo: Reverbmachine.com]]> 2017-09-07 03:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mattmercier97/tuwc58lrz1ew/wish/185374441
