Hey Cred Forums, just started working at a bakery a week ago. We can play our music in the store, within reason and I'm putting together a playlist. What songs/albums would you enjoy hearing play in the background while you hang out with some overpriced coffee and baked goods?
I'll post songs from my playlist as it is in the meanwhile.
Pretty much this album user its only 44 minutes as well, some great cool jazz. This will make swell background music for the pair of teens that look up and lock eyes with each other from across the shop
tbqh OP, you probably could have saved some time and looked up mu's essential trip-hop and jazz charts. I guess you could put in something poppy and sort of upbeat like dream pop or twee if it gets too mellow - like Acid House Kings or Seapony.
heh, that's a good description.
Alexander Gonzalez
Was never a fan of Bjork but I'll give it a go. This is great, I'd love to play it on a rainy day. Thanks for the share user. You're probably right, but I haven't been in the mood to go looking. This seemed the more interesting route
I'm not a hipster coffee-drinker, but I've recently come to realise that my taste in music is 100% coffee-shop-hipster core. Sufjan Stevens, Iron and Wine, Bon Iver, Julien Baker, Elliott Smith, Laura Marling - as long as you avoid the more depressing tracks, I think this type of music would be perfect.
Jason Harris
anything from this album
Matthew White
also anything from this album
Josiah Lee
and you can't forget about this album
Leo Morales
why are you on this fucking board?
Christian Harris
Not sure really, just popped over for a change. Why do you ask?
Kevin Murphy
Thanks user, glad I could help. Congrats on the new job
this is like me heading over to Cred Forums and jumping in a rec thread and saying "hey, have you ever seen seinfeld before? arrested development is pretty good too!"
and really, OP should've skipped this entire process and just typed in "coffee shop" into spotify or whatever you normals use to listen to music.
Did OP ask for obscure patrician songs that are enjoyed mostly by the denizens of a music board on a white-supremacist Mongolian chatroom, or did he ask for songs that the average coffee-shop attendee would enjoy? All of my choices were in that perfect non-mainstream yet still fairly normie category that is right for a coffee shop.
Jordan Cooper
Whoops, my PC fucked up and that is not the picture I intended to post at all. But please feel free to enjoy my Canadian holiday snaps, just glad it didn't post one with my face in.
Shibuya-Kei is great for this. Playboy Playgirl by Pizzicato Five is essential. Also, regardless of all the memes, Jazz.
Lincoln Fisher
nobody wants to hear this anywhere, let alone at a fucking coffee shop
Hudson Flores
kill yourself
David Collins
You unironically like and recommend Red Hot Chili Peppers, you're in no place to be telling people to kill themselves.
Alexander Hall
>le its mainstream therefore bad
please, I beg you please kill yourself
I unironically like and recommend Red Hot Chili Peppers
Charles Turner
>he doesn't like this shitty band that i like >obviously he doesn't like them because they're mainstream! >waaaaah Frusciante was the only redeeming part of them, but even he couldn't keep their songs from being garbage. You know your band is fucking shit when your dying ex-guitarist's strung out heroin screeching albums are better.
Hunter Howard
>implying we didn't all have their CDs when we were 13
Thomas Long
literally have never owned, let alone brought myself to physically touch, an RHCP album in my life
Benjamin Martinez
Didn't RHCP literally have a song called Coffee Shop?
Colton Brooks
I had a Three Days Grace CD back then. Doesn't mean you should still be listening to that shit.
Brayden Allen
I was 11 when Californication came out. Damn, I get all nostalgic recalling the music videos playing on VH1.
Jose Nelson
i think fun "indie" stuff is usually a good thing to play, maybe neon indian idk
Ryan Lopez
Play cool stuff not stuff you think fits an established aesthetic
Make the a hip place to be with obscure and interesting music
Look up the Late Night Tales album series, much of that would be perfect for a coffee shop. Air's is particularly great. Speaking of, the whole of Moon Safari should be on your playlist for sure.
Also recommend Seventeen Years by Ratatat and A New Career In A New Town, V-2 Schneider, Seven, Sons of the Silent Age, Wild is the Wind, Always Crashing in the Same Car, Fantastic Voyage, Criminal World, Absolute Beginners, Strangers When We Meet, Thursdays Child, Everyone Says Hi, A Better Future, Crystal Japan, Where Are We Now?, and In the Heat of the Morning all by Bowie.
Gavin Thompson
Probably some generic jazz.
Parker Richardson
Ah, they just don't like RHCP because Scaruffi told them to not like them.
keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better
Oliver Jenkins
Or Pitchfork.
Christian Phillips
>Frusciante was the only redeeming part of them oh I get it
I bet you also think that pink floyd with syd barret was better, that metallica's earlier stuff, before they sold out, was better I know that you will never listen to anything mainstream and if you do it will be ironically you look down on people that dont try as hard as you when listening to music
please, end yourself you are making life less worth living for the rest of the world
Jacob Edwards
>people ITT actually, unironically recommending buttrock
Aiden Cox
>that metallica's earlier stuff, before they sold out, was better
The early stuff is like 90% of their live setlists, so...
Kayden Carter
so? go on
Adam Brooks
bossanova-styled music is my go-to. don't have time to link much, but you get the idea.
Generally bands play the songs people want to hear.
Robert Wood
>that metallica's earlier stuff, before they sold out, was better Even Metallica fans will tell you to stay away from their later shit and that the earlier stuff is where it's at, so way to fucking go, but I don't listen to either of those bands because they don't appeal to me, not because they're bad. And I like plenty of mainstream stuff, unironically.
>I know that you will never listen to anything mainstream and if you do it will be ironically >you look down on people that dont try as hard as you when listening to music Quit projecting, mate.
Carson Young
I agree also today I had pizza for lunch
Kayden Butler
Maybe people are just fucking sick of hearing Under The Bridge for the thousandth time
Also RCHP have become a weird parody of themselves
Dylan Reyes
Oddly enough, of all their hits, that's the one I'm not that familiar with even though I've listened to Dani California, Scar Tissue, Otherside, Give It Away, etc 100,000 times.
Liam Long
Under The Bridge isn't a terribly offensive song, it's just not a very good one. I'm 100% positive hearing Can't Stop has pushed people to commit murder, though. Holy fuck, how awful can a song be?
Asher Robinson
>Can't Stop Don't know that one.
Liam Rodriguez
Purple Stain--coolest song of theirs never released as a single
Ryder Scott
>Quit projecting, mate. learn when to use the "projecting" meme
RCHP is objectively good you think its bad because you want to tell people that its bad
commit sudoku asap
Adam Smith
I don't think that's a suitable song for a coffee shop.
Justin Garcia
>accidentally post a picture with my face in. Ever 4channers worst fear.
Jaxon Williams
>RHCP is objectively good
This is intended ironically, right?
Jace Hughes
How about Cryptopsy - "Slit Your Guts"? That suitable enough for you bitch?
Gavin Cruz
Give It Away is absolutely infuriating
Luke Ward
stop memeing for a second I know its hard but at least try
Evan Hughes
>Holy fuck, how awful can a song be? >said whit a smirk autist
Jason Ramirez
Naw, that's cool. Probably the ultimate 90s party song. Listen to that and you have this sudden uncontrolled urge to watch Rocko's Modern Life.
Levi Clark
Also, it took me forever to realize that that's the riff from Black Sabbath--Sweet Leaf played in the outro.
Parker Bell
CHECK'D
Christopher Phillips
Generally I find I have this sudden uncontrolled urge to smash the speakers into dust
