MUSIC ADDICTIONS

Mourne

Also most def NSFW but this one was from just after I graduated, always made me laugh and is def an earworm.

Fair warning.

Ironically, I was just listening to Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab’s playlist titled ‘RIP NSFW’ after sharing the first song on it with someone.

Kestrel

Beyoncé just dropped a new album.

I’m not sure anything else needs to be clarified, because I’m a Pumpkin Spice Latte of a human being.

I’m just really into Chet Baker at the moment. Not his vocal tracks, I find them a bit bland, but the instrumental ones are great.

Testament

I started listening to Dio again and I had forgotten just how amazing Ronnie James Dio’s voice is. Though it does make me wish that Rainbow lasted longer than it had.

Also, the cover art for the albums is absolutely ridiculous in a way that I can not just help but love.

Kestrel

Favourite song of the last two years:

Noga Erez — Fire Kites
(Lyrics/meaning here.)

And more from her. I think she’s an incredible performer, so I’m deliberately only linking live sessions:

Noga Erez — You So Done
Noga Erez — Knockout
Noga Erez — End of the Road

A few other artists who are also amazing live singers, because why not:

Gin Wigmore — Written in the Water
Escondido — Heart Is Black
Lil Nas X — Jolene (Dolly Parton Cover)

BurnNotice

@Kestrel Gin Wigmore performing Kill of the Night is just , she is great.

Aria

@Testament Imma just leave this right here for you. If the Meatloaf cameo isn’t enough for your tastes, just speed right to 2:09 and carry on from there.

This addictive throwback:

Toxic Pony — Ginuwine x Britney Spears x Altégo

South park live. I didn’t think it would be a bop but it is. The concert is on paramount plus and of course, Primus and ween are the backing bands.

@BloodAngel Watching Les’ plan to set Matt up to play with the remaining members of Rush (as well as all of Primus ofc) come to such awesome fruition warmed my dark, dead little heart.

Ska band, I stumbled on for the UK. Amazing stuff two albums!

@BloodAngel I grew up in Rochester and lived there for like 21 years.

I salute anyone living there in my absence.

I have no idea who this collection would be for and intrinsically fear anyone who’d like all of these things.

Also, I guess I’ve been listening to a lot of “moody synthpop” and “art school metal.” In other words, there’s not enough wax in the world for this fucking moustache.

Prince Rama - Two sisters who grew up in a Hare Krishna cult in Florida and decided to start a Kate Bush-inspired Electro band. Sadly broke up nowadays but there’s no way you can sustain that level of mad fuckery forever.

Ulver - I push these guys way too hard and they’re only semi-definable in terms of “moody synthpop.” But ask yourself what kind of nerd would do a double-album adaptation of William Blake’s Marriage of Heaven and Hell? These fucking nerds.

Mint Field - 90s-style fuzz/shoegaze that just sounds better in Spanish to me. I saw them play up here when their drummer got stuck in Mexico. They managed to improvise without a drummer at all and made it look easy.

Mothlite/Miracle/Anything involving Daniel O’Sullivan — Again, not even sure this is “moody synthpop” because he gets real weird with it.

The new Dreadnought album — A kinda-unique and unexpected mutant blend of death metal, prog, and jazz. I saw them as a festival opener and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with that much live energy in 20 years.

Bog Wizard and Froglord — Yeah so, apparently there is a Bog Wizard and an amphibious deity known as the Froglord. They apparently are beefing over swamp territory. When they told me heavy metal would rot my brain when I was a kid, they had no idea.

BloodAngel

@SpaceKhomeini I love Dreadnought!

I also love Bog Wizard, totally up my alley! Thank you for the heads up!

@SpaceKhomeini

Whether we wanted it or not, here is a covid lockdown-era metal cover of Running Up That Hill , really only posting this because Emma’s a force of fucking nature even though she’s kinda just chilling out here.
