What Are You Listening To Right Now?

Recommended Posts

@En Passant okay, challenge accepted.

 

Spoiler

"Sheeran"
I'm not a fan but he occasionally puts out decent songs.

 

 

"Swift"
I too ignored her until her surprise albums in 2020, which surprised me.

 

I've since discovered her music has a lot of variety in both topics and production, much of it being excellent, and she's at the top of her game right now.

 

 

"your latest boy band"
Yeah, can't help you there. How about a girl band?

 

 

"K-pop"
This isn't an area I'm too familiar with, because so much music comes out of South Korea. There are some gems though:

 

 

"a decent rap"
Well I think that's a shame. Some of the best production in modern music is in Hip-Hop. It might be hard to convince you, but this is a small handful of songs I like:

 

 

Other new songs you may connect with:

 

 

You can take it or leave it. I won't be offended if you think 90% of them are pish (okay, I will slightly). I felt the need to put forth the case for my generation. It's not better or worse, just different.

Sheeran's music is practically all nut brown piss to the eardrum imo, as, I'm sad to say, is Beyoncé of late. Lots of good there though, and certainly enough variety to put to bed the old trope that "it all sounds the same nowadays". Fucking doesn't, even if the charts occasionally tell a different story.

 

Spoiler

The 90s is still broadly the best era though and no sod ever has a chance of convincing me otherwise

I downloaded Cowboy Carter before my recent trip and listened to it on every long train journey. Even if it's not all to my taste, I love a good sprawling album with hundreds of ideas that are all pulled together somehow. Sheeran's new music doesn't make me think in the same way.

Well, it wasn't quite a challenge, but fair play @Clorox Bleachman I accept that whilst I haven't much liked what I have heard, decrying what I haven't is grossly unfair.

You'll need to give me a week though, as if I'm going to do it I won't cheat, it's a reasonably long list and I need to be in the frame of mind to treat it fairly, also a bit busy for a few days. But I'll get to it.

I suppose it might have crossed my mind subconsciously that the News at Ten theme was from a longer piece, but until reading the Diana Edwards-ones obit did I know what it was called  - its The Awakening, by Johnny Pearson, and is of course on YouTube. The actual News at Ten bit is about a minute from the end. Anyone who's ever watched News at Ten will be adding their own 'bong' at the appropriate point. Guaranteed!

Taylor Swift just released a double album called The Tortured Poets Department. I thought it was just 16 songs but then I found the anthology and an extra 15 songs. So yes on my day off i've already spent two hours listening to her.

 

Some highlights:

 

thanK you aIMee (it's about Kim Kardashian)

 

 

Clara Bow

 

 

 The Tortured Poets Department

Somehow, I was unaware of the existence of this album until yesterday.

Butchering The Beatles - A Headbashing Tribute (CD) | Discogs

Naturally I bought it, but until it arrives, utube is my friend

Currently listening to Chappell Roan because she's all over my Tumblr dash and seems to be the new hot thing.

This girl is one of the opening acts for Pink's Summer Carnival tour. She got the whole stadium to shout "Fuck You".

Well she was waving the pride flag and talking about homophobes and transphobies. So I guess anyone who are anti LGBT+.

I'm slowly getting into my wife's taste in European (mainly Nordic) rock and metal singers and bands. Her favorites ranging from well known ones like Nightwish, Nena, Sabaton to more obscure ones like Hel, Amon Amarth and Kerli. I quite like this song by Hel, Den feges lögn.

I'm sure this will be of interest to certain members - it's their new single.

Travis are known for making songs to build a rudimentary noose to, but this newish one of theirs is lowkey quite a bop

Stone cold 90s classic. Bit of a Celtic feel to it.

I've had some very tough last few days. Had to say goodbye to 2 friends for different reasons; one is going to live abroad and the other sadly passed away. This lovely song is giving me some strength at this moment.

I don't know the meaning behind the song, but it's a nice little tune. My condolences for you about loss of your friend. Just know that your friend abroad will still be able to be in touch with you and depending where they went, you can travel to see them.

 

If you wanna chat in private about anything you can (or vent about life).
