I'm enjoying 'Ghana Special 2: Electronic Highlife & Afro Sounds In The Diaspora, 1980-93' a compilation album of upbeat synthy tunes made by Ghanaians living in Germany.

Was never released on a real album, best version by far. Bands today weep and pray they could make something even close.
i recently made a playlist compiling every iteration of house of the rising sun i could find on spotify, i love listening to old folk songs that have been covered to death because the variety is so fun. i loved dolly parton’s take on it: https://youtu.be/NmrrAxS3z7I?si=TYoUDsWnkuvxm-eR
Just a bunch of most banger Indian sub-continental music known to mankind. Enjoy all.

Anybody know more songs from the 70s-80s with a similar feel? Trying to find more like this with limited success.
Listening to this on vinyl for the first time in a year after hearing a 30 minute rant from a girl I have a history with and still have a thing for confess that she's been in an emotional relationship with her married boss for a year while she waits for him to get a divorce. It's hitting pretty good.

Never liked these Youtube "vibe mixes" for years as they all came across as knockoff muzak/video game pastiche/Lo-Fi Beats For Contextless Zoomers... but lately I've been acclimating to listening to vibe playlists as opposed to being an anal-retentive trve music album listener. Yeah, I know they're "DJ mixes" or at least supposed to be descended from them, but they're obviously different in how they center visual/conceptual aesthetic as opposed to the focus on music flow in a standard mixset. How times change. Great picture too.
Update: couldn't make it more than 20 minutes in - such dull music and mixing. Posted too fast. Will wait next time. Fuck Youtube mixes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox9qbovwckc
Overall, very above average for what I usually find in this area. Lot of authentic Bong electronica, especially unusual for this place. Someone must have moved here and either bailed or died.
Forgot to mention I didn't buy most of the Bong electronica but I might go back and get it if I have some time.
The mu-ziq is lowkey kind of quirked up. I knew him as a pretty good artist but this is like, approaching toy box sort of kawaii thing going on. I was hoping for more solemn techno based on what I knew about the artist having sampled him long ago. But hey, the thrill of finding an album like this in this a-cultural dump is worth the $2.

1,000 gecs is fine if you listen it in full. There's a certain harmony in the way the songs are ordered. I don't enjoy them as much if I listen them individually.
I got into tango. My favorite thus far is "Yira yira" by Discépolo. Gardel's "Adiós muchachos", "Volver", and "La cumparsita" are a pleasure.
For exercising I got into folk songs (lol). You know, the usual stuff:Bu bayrak, Ceddin deden, Hava Nagila, ERP hymn, Peronist march, Artiljerija, Cara al sol, etc. At least it is another way to get another view of a certain ideology, or just straight up get to know it (I learned more about Carlists thanks to Calzame las alpargatas).

Devotion might be the best Beach House. It doesn't hit the hardest, but it trades strong emotional peaks for a smooth and sentimental mood you can sink into much more, and let it really wash over you.
I've gotten into a habit of listening to Glenn Gould / Bach's Goldberg Variations while lifting. It sets a good vibe.
Kevin Shields speaks out:
>Kevin Shields has raised the notion that Britpop was part of a government conspiracy. Speaking to the Guardian in an exclusive interview, to be published online later today and in the G2 Film&Music section tomorrow, the My Bloody Valentine leader reacted angrily to a mention of the Cool Britannia phenomenon.
>"Britpop was massively pushed by the government," he said. "Someday it would be interesting to read all the MI5 files on Britpop. The wool was pulled right over everyone's eyes there."
>In the early years of Tony Blair's premiership, Britpop luminaries such as Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn were vocal supporters of the Labour government, and visited 10 Downing Street. Shields said he would only have attended "on condition we could play a song".
New record but rooted in 70s forms, and since it's from ECM, it's recorded and rendered nigh on perfectly.
Anyone still listening to this stuff?

Falco - Neo Nothing Post of All
https://youtu.be/3e-ltPIvdH4?si=-3QGSE-tFxGDYwHy
After his international success with "Amadeus" Falco struggled with the certainty that he most likely is now past his prime, since he will never be that successful again.
Data de Groove was according to himself - his most-personal album, but also the one that flopped horribly. Even in Austria it wasn't very popular. It never saw a reprint from 1990 onward until it finally got remastered in 2022. Listening to it today, it shows an almost predictive character in most of its songs that deal with digitization, internet and the re-occurrence of trends. And the downfall of meaning that goes with it. Literally music that people in 1990 weren't ready for.
It has to be said that the mixing on the 1990 version was honestly really bad, drowning Falco's quiet but important vocals beneath those funky beats. The remaster carefully changed that and is in my opinion the better mastering by far.
Don't you know
It's the nothing I won't let go
The neo is a sample of your soul

Meyerbeer's "Les Huguenots"
Too bad almost every performance post-1990 modernises the costumes for no reason or decides to make it about the Holocaust.
Not usually my kind of thing, but I've been enjoying the new Wombo LP from the excellent Fire Talk Records
https://youtu.be/I1yqqU1DI_E?si=6Vfnsybh9WqYdBlX
The Marriage of Figaro, the Metropolitan Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by James Levine
Drains by mary in the junkyard is probably the coolest song I've come across this year; the second half -- especially that closing breakdown -- has to be one of the most cathartic experiences for fellow Slint fans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTjlLzcr5y0
Danger in Fives by Wombo is another pretty cool indie/post-punk/crankwave song, but I think the music video made me like it that much more, with a pretty clear nod to Meshes of the Afternoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1yqqU1DI_E
Finally, This is Not Karate by C-Turtle is a really cool, dreamy and ethereal sounding song, partly due to the care-free and a little deadpan vocal delivery filled with attitude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khxRbeTx1yg
Brian Wilson helped me heal from my Mom's death. Going to miss that beautiful schizoid soul.

Listening to 'fan' by ylayali. This album and a bunch of others aren't up online anymore, but a few are favourites of mine from him.
His albums 'yy' and 'picked apart' and 'pumpkin patch' feel something like a trilogy to me, but only 'yy' is still up on a little label's Bandcamp.
If anyone wants to listen, I keep a folder of them here:
https://mega.nz/folder/W8lU3ZTZ#8tMPFl8W98WtXo36ZLWrYQ
I'd recommend going 'yy' --> 'picked apart' --> 'pumpkin patch', then listening to 'fan' and 'dog bone' if you like the other three.
His albums since are also terrific, 'separation' in particular.
Not to be too poptimist for this environ, but... I've been listening to a lot of early Ke$ha. Animal is a really good album. I feel like there is a stark lack of great dance music these days. I mean, it feels like Ke$he's influence is undeniable on the scene, as most singers are not afraid to be unabashedly vulgar and sexual, but nobody can toe the line of good and catchy anymore. Where are the Dionysian artists at?
Listening to the self-titled EP from a band called goldenstar. It's a really terrific slowcore album, so I'd recommend it to anyone who's a fan of the genre. There's a lot of stuff out there calling itself slowcore, but this album really stands out.

Sorry bro I'll do better for you
Everyone I know who has a lot of sex but isn't super weird and obsessive about it is listening to WOMBO. They all listen to WOMBO and their newest single Neon Bog -- Danger in Fives is quite good as well. All of these Don Juans are listening to WOMBO and PALM (and their nascent scion Kassie Krut).

Wombo has a new song, "Spyhopping" and it's very good. Guitar does freaky demon stuff on the solo
Revisiting Gluee. Was 16 when I first came across it, I was a big Young Lean fan. I was repulsed by the autotune-half-singing-trap-vocals, I associated them with Migos and other of-the-time shitty pop acts. I only broke this mental block at 22 or so, 2021, well past the time I could've claimed old-school drainer cred. And now of course everyone and their mother listens to Bladee, so some of the turboloner r9k incel mystique is gone. I guess all this is to say I miss the grimy, ugly internet that used to exist and I wish I had debased myself even more than I did.
I keep hearing about how good this Swede is and each time, like every year, I try to listen to it once again to see what's so special. Each time I'm floored by how retarded and simple and just plain irritating the music is. If there's a noise I don't want to hear it's a pimply moid moping and mumbling with zero enunciation. True end of culture vibes with you zoomers. Fuck Bladee
I thought Bladee was big pre-Covid era. Is there anybody still listening to him? God, it is horrifying to think how much time has passed.
With regard to music (as opposed to Bladee), else here is into ECM Records and jazz/art music broadly on those lines? I've recently listened to all Eberhard Weber's albums and found it an exceptionally rewarding experience. But it has also confirmed for me Bennie Maupin's line about ECM--'they don't really want to do jazz music, they have no idea about jazz music, they want to do classical music in the jazz idiom' (or something on those lines, I can't recall his exact wording). ECM never 'swings'
