Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time

Epona - Eluveitie

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

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.

Northwest Passage - unleash the archers

Frappe Snowland

Mr. Fear, by SIAMÉS. They're a great band.

Also, anything by Mother, Mother.

Stick Season by Noah Kahan

Not a type of music I listen to a lot, but I've had this song on repeat recently

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

Einar Solberg - A Beautiful Life

Powerful, beautiful and brilliantly sung. I love it.

Logic - Wu Tang Forever.

Such a solid track.

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

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.

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

Disco Ulysses - Vulfpeck

Soup for my Family by Pigeon Pit

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

Edit: https://youtu.be/62Vfzet8XIA

Mötorhead - Mötorhead

Vampire Empire by Big Theif

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

Nevertel - Everything in My Mind

Reminds me of the band Bad Omens

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

Hellripper - I, The Deceiver

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

From the project "Project Voltage" with Hatsune Miku

• 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.

ive made a fallout style playlist and my daughter has been loving these songs:

fairley holden - papas getting old

charlene arthur - just look, dont touch, hes mine

boswell sisters - everybody loves my baby

Carvings by Orbit Culture

Found this in a Melodic Death Metal compilation video last week and can't stop listening to it.

Ihsahn - The Observer https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RD1Ui76Zd-GXg&playnext=1&si=9HPc6Ax-Q1lTL66Q

Rewatching HIMYM and this song is now stuck in my head again
Simple Song - The Shins

Thanks everyone for all these suggestions, some really interesting stuff here (and some shite 😂)

Can I introduce you to Deluxe? Been really enjoying their stuff recently, but they don't seem to tour much

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

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.

Hero too - chrissy costanza as kyoka jiro

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

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.

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.
