Comfort fallback to my first introduction to Joni Mitchell - "Hits" - somewhat smallish but well curated compilation.

Also, later found out they made a "Misses" compilation album, too, so I finally figured out what the album cover meant ๐Ÿ˜…

I've been coming back to a eurobeat mixtape Hyundai put out a few years ago, playing over footage of a Nordschleife endurance race. Just playing the whole video, start-to-finish.

Jessa Stebbins's music is great on its own, I've got a lot of her tracks on my own playlists already, but this arrangement combined with the sounds of revving engines and squealing brakes in between songs, adds another layer to everything.

Well I've been playing this game called Pacific Drive. It's a driving game, but also survival horror. It's like Jalopy, but with the anomalies from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The game is fantastic, I highly recommend it.

Anyway, the soundtrack seriously slaps. They licensed music from independent and lesser known artists for the radio stations, and it's all super atmospheric and perfect.

A playlist I made and have been playing a least once a day this week, no real category or anything just went with what I felt like adding:

Tidal: https://tidal.com/playlist/957863ac-2f13-4035-aac1-97ec1c3073bb

Youtube (one song missing): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZeNdb-IjuBCN8S4wz2WFHd9O7h_4yNQe

Anyone have any recommendations for sharing playlists easily? I use Tidal but know few others that do, and would rather not use youtube.

Edit: here's a screenshot and text of the whole list if you want to use something else to make/listen to it: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/48a1a0ad-e52d-4083-a2ad-46e97e8aa201.jpeg

Also been listening a lot to Franco Battiato: https://youtube.com/@francobattiatovevo
(Sort by popular if you haven't heard it before, the top songs there are all amazing).

Just discovered Masayuki Suzuki and been going through his discography. My vocal range is practically the same as him so I got a lot of new karaoke songs under belt.

Haim - Forever

Trevor Something - What is real?

Jeff Rosenstock's cover of Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order

For the last one Jeff Rosenstock is a maniacal bastard because it's the only cover of Bizarre Love Triangle of it's kind, he's been literally offered money to make a full length cover and said no. I get his reasoning, but I hate that the world will never hear what could have been. The rest of the jam session is worth watching as it's phenominal.

I've been listening to a lot of Journey lately. I mean I've always liked Journey but they've really just been hitting the spot lately.

[โ€“] StickyDango@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I've got two songs on loop at the moment: "Vancouver" by Kingfishr, and "Marlay Park" by Amble.

They're coming to Melbourne soon, so I'm getting hyped.

Black pumas did a good cover of this. I freaking love Black Pumas so much

[โ€“] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago

I just got The Coup - Genocide and Juice
whole album and have been enjoying the heck out of it even if I still can't find Sorry To Bother You physically.

Otherwise I "discovered" Ghost: The Future is a Foreign Land has been hurting me in a nice way.

Relatedly, can you explain why you or why a looooot of people liked this song? I know I'm very not normal and I don't usually like what most people do. That said, I usually understand why most people like something, I just disagree.

Fast car? I don't get it. I think it's fine, but it was massively popular. Wayyyyyyyyyy more than I thought it would be by my typical observations.
