Her new track with Jimmy Giannopoulos, who produced it with an assist from Bekon (Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre), goes so far as to incorporate some baritone sax ( a la Morphine if that helps you place why it feels familiar) with Kravitz's droning chant of "home, home" lulling us into a sense of calm determination.

While Ursusson grew up swimming in Galician folk music, he's taken his own direction on records like O Camiño das Mans Valeiras and Lembranzas dende o Lado Salvaxe, which take on modern issues through traditional instrumentation—Ursusson himself plays a variety of instruments, including the hurdy-gurdy, a droning instrument that uses a wheel to strike the strings.

And just to make sure you're crystal clear on all of the tweets he does not remotely care about, he has built his new Netflix stand-up special, "Ricky Gervais: Humanity," around them — these negligible tweets, the droning of gnats, several years of which he appears to have accidentally screen-grabbed and saved to his phone.

But with the impeachment hearings droning on ominously in Washington, the week has occasionally had the feel of a scene in a movie in which the characters talk to each other while ignoring the disaster — alien invasion, zombie attack, meteorite hurtling toward New York City — the audience can see unfolding on a television screen behind them.

"Gene took the club back with a very, very slow, easy, relaxed rhythm, then paused a lazy second at the top before droning slowly down into the ball, delaying his accelerated hitting action until the very last moment when the club head was only two feet or so from the ball," Wind wrote in 1955 in Sports Illustrated.

I simply wanted to eliminate the dull droning on about facts and figures — whether it's snowing or raining, how cold it is, what we do for work, how long it takes to get to work, where we went to school — all those things that we think we have to talk about with someone new but that tell us little about who the person really is.

On a wider level, it's a reminder of the fact that British music can and should always be broader and more exciting than four lads droning on from behind guitars—and since Skepta's recognition in 2016, it seems that the Prize, one of the UK's biggest musical institutions, has finally got used to the importance and influence of UK rap in all its forms.

Young Juve's constantly shifting flows combine with the warped beat and droning sub-bass for sound that's thoroughly modern, but Juve sources his chorus from Mannie Fresh's verse off Big Tymers' "Get Your Roll On." (Fresh himself shows up on the track's remix, along with his fellow Cash Money alumnus Lil Wayne.) I took the liberty of embedding some of the best Young Juve songs below.

The guitar breakdown in "One Man No City" recalls the Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray" to the point of parody, Andrew Savage has developed such a perfect Thurston Moore impression that one thinks the man himself is droning away on "Dust," and so on — I'm convinced their jams and solos and explosions of static include dozens of citations, most of which go straight over my head.

Sure, Senator Sanders's embrace of the presumptive Democratic nominee included all the inclinations that many of us have come to find, shall we say, a tad grating about the man: his interminable, self-congratulatory stump speech, wearingly bereft of humor, argument, story or anecdote, more a listing of all bad things in the world and how they must be put right, delivered in his usual droning shout.

You're resolutely stuck right there in a living room or a crap pub, droning on and fucking on about Tristram Hunt and how much you need to tip at Pizza Express, pausing only to check that everyone else wants the more coke you're incredibly up for but only if everyone else is of course well why not fuck it mate it's a Saturday and we can split it yeah.

John knew that he was on a bus, that with every droning mile the bus travelled it took him farther and farther away from Charlotte and Carly, and would eventually take him so far away that he would never see them again, but he also knew that somehow they were on the bus with him and would stay with him as long as he didn't open his eyes. Newport. Gatlinburg. Knoxville.

There are ambient noise podcasts, bedtime stories for grownups, meditation podcasts with dedicated sleep guides, a whole host of ASMR shows, and then purposely meandering podcasts like Sleep With Me. There's not any published science on how podcasts like Ackerman's work, per se, but there are preliminary studies that show positive correlations between listening to white, pink, or brown noise (all variations of the same, droning thing) and sleep.

Nick Zanca, the producer and songwriter who once recorded head-nodding beat music as Mister Lies, has a new band called Quiet Friend that explicitly channels the droning synth work and mannered melodies of the many strains of easy listening music and sophisti-pop, as well as new age and ambient music (styles themselves having a renaissance in non-experimental spheres for the first time in a while).

But it's not just InfoWars – there is a whole ecosystem of right-wing YouTubers out there at least as sophisticated as the society of woodlice you might find scurrying under a loose paving slab, a vast horde of unloved grown-up boys droning on and on about why we need to halt immigration; why we need to ban toilets; why we need to kill all girl-children at birth.

At one point, during "Under the Bridge," MØ starts harmonizing with my off-tune droning during the line "And I don't ever wanna feeeel, like I did that day / take me to the place I looove, take me all the way" and I am looking at her, and she is looking at me, and I am thinking to myself that this "duet" is possibly the most therapeutic activity I have done all year.

The thought came to mind during the Comme des Garçons Homme Plus show, a presentation that — despite certain superficial elements of styling (theatrically snarling models done up in black lipstick and fishnets like mall-rat versions of the punk rock vocalist Darby Crash) and the droning guitars of Vowws, a Los Angeles-based band brought in to play for the show — had scant connection to the punk movement that seemed, at first, to be its inspiration.
