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
3 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
4 Brazen
5 The Beach Boys

Top Songs
1 Floating on a Moment (Beth Gibbons); 38 streams (top 0.0005% of all listeners worldwide)
2 Alone (The Cure)
3 Major Crimes (Health;Window Weather)
4 Time is on my Side (A Certain Someone)
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!

[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.
