Still Alive - Portal Soundtrack

A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman soundtrack.

Billy Idol - Rita Hayworth

and

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.

Bells, bows, gifts, trees - Todrick Hall

Epona - Eluveitie

and

ANSI.SYS - MASTER BOOT RECORD (also known as keygen church)

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.

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

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

Northwest Passage - unleash the archers

Frappe Snowland

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

Stick Season by Noah Kahan

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

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

Also, anything by Mother, Mother.

Gossip by Måneskin.

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.

Einar Solberg - A Beautiful Life

Powerful, beautiful and brilliantly sung. I love it.

Disco Ulysses - Vulfpeck

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

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

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

Logic - Wu Tang Forever.

Such a solid track.

Soup for my Family by Pigeon Pit

Vampire Empire by Big Theif

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

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

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

https://open.spotify.com/track/35sayLCpOsy7aCAp8sppG1?si=PL0LBx7vTCukVHrGIsmHIA

From the project "Project Voltage" with Hatsune Miku

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

Hellripper - I, The Deceiver

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

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

Nevertel - Everything in My Mind

Reminds me of the band Bad Omens

Carvings by Orbit Culture

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

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

Mötorhead - Mötorhead

• 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.

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

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

Samara Joy - A Joyful Holiday

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

"In Tartarus" - The Night Eternal

X Ambassadors, K.Flay, grandson - Zen

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.

Summer Days by Martin Garrix
