this has been stuck in my head for fuckin days its a curse

super weird to hear unpitched vocals from this song thanks to a remix coming out six years later!!

here's the hot take on sussudio you've all been waiting for ever since i started getting into phil collins last year: this song basically sucks but the pre-chorus is really good. unfortunately this was enough to get this song permanently stuck in my head, and now im here, in hell

we're all getting into ska in 2021

this album really came and went with no fanfare at all, and was really a wisp of an album, a lotta 3 minute tracks with no time to breathe or develop into anything memorable this remix spins probably the best track on that album into uk garage and is really dang good, i hope they give more of those songs this treatment

i feel like the first 30 seconds of this seems like it's going to be a completely different song, though you can kinda guess where it's going from the bassline

i've been listening to a couple apple music japanese music playlists, and i feel like i've got a buncha stuff i want to post from those now. this is probably in those playlists as "hey, it's a city pop throwback like all those people on youtube like," but it sounds to me like steely dan

just going to slowly post 70% of this album track by track over the next few weeks probably

i haven't gotten around to listening to the new future islands record yet, but i did catch their live stream last week, and like half the set was pre-singles stuff! i forgot how good in evening air and on the water are

a) this song's amazing b) i refactored everything about music playback on jam buds so lmk if anything's broken. gonna send out a newsletter soon regarding this and other stuff, i think!

twice keeps putting out incredibly boring singles but sometimes they hide fun stuff like this on the albums/eps

peter gabriel-era genesis has mostly not been my bag, but i like this song since it has this ridiculously big hook for a 70s prog rock song. fun bassline, too i like when prog rock bands make a pop song as a flex, just to say, "yeah, we *could* make more palatable stuff like this, but we choose not to..."

can't tell if grime is back, or if it never left and i just haven't paid nearly enough attention
