Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time

I'll start.

Recently discovered: Nightwish, Last ride of the day

Recently rediscovered as it just came up on my playlist: Mick Jagger, Sweet Thing

edit: Someone just introduced me to Vancanto covering Fear of the Dark. I didn't think a cappella metal was possible.

Been on a big King Crimson kick lately and I just fucking loooove Three of a Perfect Pair. Holy stink it's so good. https://youtu.be/QdMHy074kNc

Been playing some Cyberpunk 2077 and also finished the anime. I Really Want to Stay at Your House has been on repeat lately. Such a great synthpop tune.

I went to a performance by De Staat a few days ago, so I've been in the mood for their music

• De Staat - Witch Doctor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3V_QMItNOg
• De Staat - Kitty Kitty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWM9DC-31Xo
• De Staat - Get It Together (Vinticious Versions): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fukhh9PJQMc

Gossip by Måneskin.

Soup for my Family by Pigeon Pit

Lauren Babic’s cover of “What was I made for?”…really suits my holiday mood.

Northwest Passage - unleash the archers

Vampire Empire by Big Theif

Frappe Snowland

Disco Ulysses - Vulfpeck

Logic - Wu Tang Forever.

Such a solid track.

Entire album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess by Chappell Roan. I don't like every song, but most. It's a lot of fun.

Also the song Grown Up by Raffaella makes me laugh.

From the project "Project Voltage" with Hatsune Miku

Played Fortnite Festival and discovered "The Search" by NF. What a banger!

I've been playing the new Hellripper album a lot. Throwback speed metal like it's the 80s again

Hellripper - I, The Deceiver

For some reason I'm particularly keen on Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor at the moment. No idea why but it did just turn 20 years old.

Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, by Weird Al. It's such a fun painting of Midwest American culture

Nevertel - Everything in My Mind

Reminds me of the band Bad Omens

Einar Solberg - A Beautiful Life

Powerful, beautiful and brilliantly sung. I love it.

I cannot stop rocking out to "Hollywood Baby" by 100gecs

I just Recently discovered Lu Kala, and Hotter Now is now in my heavy rotation.

i've been getting back into Big Band Swing in general, but Andy Kirk and the Twelve Clouds was a special group, and one of their pianists Mary Lou Williams was a true pioneer of jazz solo improvisation.. still mind blowing to hear..

Walkin' and Swingin' is a good one..

Close to Five is just badass

• A Long December (Counting Crows)

• Soul Asylum's cover of Rhinestone Cowboy.

The former is ever relevant, the latter is somehow both a total reimagining of the song and true to the original.

Yeah, I date myself with both of those. Yeah, I was probs in HS for both of them.

That, and Good Riddance / Time of your Life (Greenday). I understand it was supposed to be a sarcastic dig at a woman. But that's not how audiences largely heard it, and it became the legit, totally unironic anthem of a certain generation that I am abs not a part of.

Also... There's a completely random punk band no one but me has ever heard of (Ruth Ruth), and their album Laughing Gallery has been by my side at some of my lowest points over the years. Wish I could let 'em know the impact they had in making sure I pushed through some of the worst periods.

X Ambassadors, K.Flay, grandson - Zen

I can't get Addict from Hazbin Hotel outta my fuckin' head. 😵‍💫

Out of nowhere I woke up with "Bond Theme's From The Early 80s" by Paul Williams stuck in my head. NZ Taskmaster Paul Williams, not 70's songwriter Paul Williams.

The Rigs - Devil's Playground

Not a very well known band but the song has a great atmosphere. I'm writing an act to it right now

Samara Joy - A Joyful Holiday

"In Tartarus" - The Night Eternal

I’ve had Meat Magnet by Escuela Grind in heavy rotation since it came out recently. I’m not usually into grindcore but this song is catchy as hell.

Hero too - chrissy costanza as kyoka jiro

if you watched the MHA school festival arch, this song will hit extra hard.

close your eyes

Literally found this looking for a song I've heard on the radio and it's my new favorite thing

Hoodie X James K - Scorpio 'Unofficial' MV

and the thing I was looking for was Tiffi - Hoodie it's a whole vibe and not my usual music taste

Hot Mulligan - John "The Rock" Cena, Can You Smell What The Undertaker

Whole album is so good. I didn't think I'd ever like screamy music but it is not overdone.

2d Girl by mayten

and fuck it, ill thrown in Werewolf by yawn too

Coming back once more for a song remembered, a little different from the other two: Your Bow May Bend by Buried Beds.

Jack The Ripper by Screaming Lord Sutch. Nice catchy early 60s beat.

Drab Majesty - The Skin and the Glove https://youtu.be/5lVfNtsx1y8?si=5WMsVIMFDIlks6zM

Stan Qualen by The Southern River Band. I love their brand of rock
