The Wikipedia article music of Egypt has a decent section on ancient music in the history portion.

But it’s important to remember that ancient Egyptian history is incredibly long and varied. It’s hard to pin down musical styles over thousands of years. The reality is that we don’t really know what the music sounded like, so educated guesses are the closest we can get. Notation would not be invented for thousands of years.

The instruments they used provide most of the insight that we have. Here’s a YouTube video of some people playing reconstructions of period instruments. This would just be a guess at the music, but it is at least informed by later tradition from around the region.

What’s your budget? You can get a ukulele or guitar for fairly cheap, and there are websites full of chords or tabs for songs. You can play hundreds of songs if you just know a few chords.

There are tutorial videos on YouTube to get you started. Play and sing along. You’ll suck at first, but if you keep at it and play every day you’ll get to be pretty good.

The kind where one can get to a different galaxy in a single lifetime? I doubt it.

2. Day-oh (the banana goat song)

There’s a fire starting in your ship
Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bringing 'em out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go 'head and crash land and I’ll strip your saucer bare

See how I leave with every piece of it
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark

The scars and gore remind me of war
They keep me thinking that we almost lost it all
The holes in my suit they leave me breathless, I can’t help feeling

We could have had it all
Terror from the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it to the beat

The US has had a reactionary streak since its inception.

The country was founded on stolen land by slavers and oligarchs. The southern States launched a rebellion because they were concerned about losing their human chattel, then after losing maintained a 150 year terror campaign against those whom they deemed “lesser.” The oligarchs have been consolidating power the entire time (with a few brief hiccups). There was a large and explicitly fascist America First movement that grew throughout the 20th century while Congress and the FBI aggressively persecuted leftist leaders.

The US is a very reactionary country with historically good PR.

It can’t be a universal thing for all birds, but budgies feel safer if there’s some ambient noise; it indicates that there isn’t a predator around that needs to be avoided. Silence means danger.

Guitar, bass, ukulele, and renaissance lute. They’re all fairly similarly tuned, so there’s some skill transfer among them. Guitar is my strongest instrument, I’ve been playing that for about 30 years.

I play a bit of hand percussion, too.

I also play soprano and tenor recorder, they’re good to know for early music and tuned the same except an octave apart. I’m decent enough at them, and they’re especially fun when played in a consort. I picked them up about 4 years ago now.

Everyone who likes couch co-op should play this one. It’s fantastic.

That does sound interesting, kind of like you build your own class. I’ll check it out, thanks!

I’d love another good hero shooter after Overwatch shit the bed, and Rivals doesn’t really do it for me.

It’s been my favorite multiplayer genre since Quake World Team Fortress.

Cool, I didn’t know there was an open-source alternative. Thanks!

Not a console, but PICO-8 can be installed on lots of stuff and uses lua.

The best kind of folk music.

Also, that guitar is gorgeous.

Titanfall 2 definitely had the ghost thing.

I did indeed dream about looting last night. I’m having a blast with the game so far; it’s got a really addictive loop.

Yeah, those graphics are kind of crazy for the GBC.

Love when I’m out on a walk and some jagoff drives by in a car so loud that I can’t even hear the headphones that are pumping sound directly into my ear over his wankmobile.
