Awhile back I inherited a used media server box containing, among other things, every Billboard Top 100 hit from 1960 through 2008. I'm working my way through more or less at random, and finding a bunch of great songs from the 60's and 70's that Id never heard. And apparent I like disco? Would not have guessed.

Medusa's Outhouse by Cass McCombs came up in my shuffle today.
It has a really ethereal and fuzzy quality which I like, the tempo feels slow and like it's dragging a little. Combined with the falsetto, it makes me feel like I'm slowly floating through the air and I really like songs like that.
I always tear up when I hear "Say nothing, if you don't wanna say. Slow down, if you're going my way."
I met some Pakistani people recently and realised I don't know much about Pakistan. So I decided to listen to Pakistani music. This one's a banger. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZPuCsGKRbM&list=PLnzOApf9_xyXxcUx26P9CLy_yychHCOZO&index=6&pp=iAQB8AUB
