Music Stuff and All That

My top 5 songs were:

Die On A Rope - Distillers
Halo - Machine Head
Deutschland - Rammstein
When The Contagion Is You - Jasta ft Matt Heafy
Duality - Slipknot

All of those are on my gym playlist so that would explain why they featured so much. Excellent choices all of them though.

Top 5 most played artists were:

Slipknot
Bruce Springsteen
Queens Of The Stone Age
In Flames
NOBRO

Quite proud of how I've managed to span genres there - alternative metal, rock and roll, stoner rock, melodic death metal, and garage punk. I am a model of eclecticism.

You weren't there man*, you weren't there.

*assuming you identify as a man, apologies if not.

My top 5 artists are The National, Radiohead, Jose Gonzales, Bon Iver, and Sun Kil Moon.

Very strong ‘Moody blokes with guitars’ vibes there.

Or, alternatively, ‘stuff I listen to at work’ vibes, which does rather bias towards ‘comfortable’.

Halo
I Want Your Love
All Fired Up
I Love It
We Didn't Start the Fire

I haven't used Spotify much this year and anyway - I share Mrs Rave's account so the results would be skewed. Instead I appear to have spent my lengthy convalescence attempting to complete Youtube. A brief scroll through my history suggests my 5 most watched / listened to are

More Than This - 10000 Maniacs / Mary Ramsey
Don't Dream It's Over - Sixpence None The Richer (yes, they did a cover of it)
Let The Wind Blow - Dar Williams
Prelude and Yodel live at the Royal Festival Hall - Penguin Cafe Orchestra
It Never Rains In Southern California - Albert Hammond

This is like an AI design to trigger my tweephobia.

Well I have been listening to the Blues, Southern Gospel, 60's/70's Motown, reggae, All different forms of rock/metal, folk music, 80's British pop and EDM. So I am spanning as much as I can which I am enjoying. My current saved list is now 190,000 songs. Spotify have no idea what I like and are just making things up. Also that electronic DJ feature they have is the most annoying thing I have ever heard. Leave me alone you algorithm cunt face!

Chicago: Rocker by nature, Curator of Culture.

I don’t use Spotify. My top whatever list would be a load of rave gabber shit and the TESD podcast.

Peasant.

Chicago: Lording it up.

Thought I'd been Whamageddoned already yesterday while shopping, but on closer listen it was a cover version.

Bloc Party are doing a one off gig at Crystal Palace next summer to celebrate 20 years of Silent Alarm. One of my very favourite albums ever - it's in that rare pantheon of albums without a single weak song.

Wait, what is the weak track on that masterpiece?
