less of a music tip – but a youtube channel recommendation: Arte uploads a lot of concerts up on youtube, I believe for generally a year (I assume due to some rights limitations)

Spotify Wrapped is out; once again before the year is over

It reports the following for me:

Top Artists
1 The Cure
2 Pet Shop Boys

2 Alone (The Cure)
3 Major Crimes (Health;Window Weather)

5 Avril 14th (Aphex Twin) ... this is my wakeup alarm, but I did listen to it a lot, as well

Total played 5,171 songs; total minutes listened: 33,251


In contrast, last.fm reports the following Top 10 from Jan 1 to Dec 4 (with 9,604 plays, which is quite the discrepancy – I do listen to music outside of Spotify, of course, but that seems like a huge difference)

This popped into my Youtube random play when a video i was watching ended and damn, i was just thinking about this song the other day at work.
I did think it was older than 5 years though so there must be a couple of earlier songs i heard before then. I'll have to go digging.



edit: thinking about it, i think it was a "gentleman rapper" that did another similar track. Now i'm intrigued and need to find out.

New Aphex Twin compilation (I think? — I never heard of this release before, nor do any of the song "titles" ring any bells)


also: what a cover!

[Stevey]

What a band

 

[lashman]

What a band

they are!

[LEANIJA]

Happy birthday to David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Shirley Bassey & Robbie Krieger of the Doors





also to Graham Chapman & Stephen Hawking, but they didnt make music (as far as I know)

[LEANIJA]

New album by The Halo Effect - melodic death metal from former members of In Flames.

 

[LEANIJA]

There's also been new albums by Ringo Starr (a country record produced by T-Bone Burnett):




and Franz Ferdinand (indie rock I guess):

 

[LEANIJA]

Prophet Ilja by Patriarkh is a delightful black metal/folk/choral blend

 

[LEANIJA]

Mike Portnoy, the drummer from Dream Theatre, doesnt know pop music and is asked to drum along Taylor Swifts megahit "Shake it off", which he also didnt know, making up his prog metal drums up as he goes (listening to a drumless version) ...and its fun to watch, and honestly his take kinda fits, too

 

[Panda Pedinte]

Marc Laidlay (yes that one) released a song, and there is an album coming next month

Spoiler

HL3 confirmed

Prophet Ilja by Patriarkh is a delightful black metal/folk/choral blend

I listened to it some days ago, some nice stuff.

Burnout 3

 

[LEANIJA]

REM talked about songwriting and their career last year; its a very nice and interesting interview!

 

[Stevey]

 

[LEANIJA]

New album by Wardruna, "Birna"



and a new live album by Iggy Pop, "Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023"

[LEANIJA]

New album by Mogwai — Scottish post-rock veterans




—

I recently linked an album by The Halo Effect, a band featuring Mikael Stanne on vocals; he's also in Dark Tranquillity, and in the gothic metal band Cemetery Skyline – their album is quite nice, too!

[dummmyy]

Just found this album. From October of 2024. This RIPS. I instantly fell in love with it.

It's Bob Marleys birthday today, he'd be 80.

[dummmyy]

MIKE is great. Pieces of a Dream and man in the mirror are some of my highlights for this one

 

[Panda Pedinte]

I previously posted about a Marc Laidlaw song, and he released the full album


I listened to it only one time but it gave me some Elvis Costello vibes both for Marc's voice and for the sound of the whole album

 

[LEANIJA]

Rick Beato sat down with the surviving members of The Doors – Robby Krieger and John Densmore – for an hour-long interview about their career, creative and recording process, they share some funny anecdotes about their history, and they even jam a bit

 

[LEANIJA]

New album by Lacona Coil (gothic metal), with a nice mix of growls and clear vocals



—

New album by Jinjer (metalcore), also featuring a mix of shouting and clear vocals (although here, both are performed by the same person).



—

And in stark contrast, a new album by the Manic Street Preachers (alternative rock & power pop), with pretty much their signature sound intact and some nice, catchy songs




—

furthermore, a new album by Tocotronic (alternative rock & indie rock), its pretty much the same as their previous few albums.

 

[LEANIJA]

At age 100, Marshall Allen, longtime bandleader of the Sun Ra Arkestra, just released his solo debut album (jazz).
