Music Stuff and All That

I didn't really recognize mine either, apparently the Stereophonics were in my top 5 artists this year. I maybe listened to them twice.

I've spent most of the year listening to dance and punk. I've discovered more new music, and seen more live music, than ever before. It's been awesome.

I have almost 400,000 songs in my play list now. I mainly listen to punk, rock, Folk, Dance, blues and Motown. Doesn't mean I am not open to listening to all types of music apart from twanky country and Jazz (because I am not on heroin).

Spotify although evil does have it's benefits. I do listen to a lot more music than I used to. Wrapped is nonsense though, because it doesn't seem to connect with what I actually like. Oh well. It's fun for about five seconds. AI will of course kill us all and this is the closest I get to using it much as I am generally not on social media or Open AI or whatever else that shit is on. Yes, I am fully aware I am typing on a computer right now which has stuff in it that it can use and I am fooked like everyone else. I try to use it less, unless I am listening to music randomly and then I know what is probably picking it. Bugger.

Chicago. Soon to be enslaved.

Tonight, I shall be off to see Sabbaton

I hadn't heard of them, but looked them up as I generally like some of your recommendations.

WTF?

Jesus, why?

Good question. Don't really like them. The weather is miserable and I feel like I've got something shit coming on. Time for irresponsible use of pharmaceuticals methinks.

Power metal history lessons calls for swilling large amounts of beer. I could see speed playing a fun role as well.

In this case I agree with you. Power metal is largely formulaic, plodding, overly self important and annoyingly theatrical. And I say that as a long time Iron Maiden fan.
