      Man, my buddies and I were really into jrock. Asian Kung Fu Generation, High and Mighty Color, Orange Rave, Beat Crusaders. So much good stuff

      …does it include enka? I’m ashamed to admit that I like enka, even to other people who listen to Japanese music. (Mostly Keiko Fuji and Akira Kobayashi.)

    I thought of another one. It’s rare I recommend this to anyone but another musician, so I think you’ll appreciate it as a drummer.

    Hell by Clown Core

      So because you reminded that Clown Core exists, I caught up with their recent discography on my phone with headphones. However, about five minutes ago the audio from computers on my phone “suddenly cut out”. I think my mom started up her car, and because I connected the Bluetooth to the car at some point in the future past, the phone instantly decided “yeah let’s pump the user’s audio into this device, I’m sure that’s what he wants”, even though headphones were plugged in, without prompting me 😳.

      I.e., I think my mom got a few seconds of surprise Clown Core.

      She knows I like metal but I don’t know how to explain this 🤣.

    Vitas has a phenomenal vocal range.

    Catchy tunes and a variety of styles. But this video, as catchy as the tune is, is just… bonkers. The outfit is … something, the technique he uses while singing is … yeah. It’s that weird.

    Vitas 7th Element 2002

    And this one I’m not ashamed to share… and is the one that brought him to my attention (especially when it gets to the hook) years back when it was making the rounds.

    The man with his crazy voice

        It’s a shame Vitas kinda seems embarrassed by it. There’s a video where he performed it a few years ago, and he’s really low energy about it, lip syncing to a recording of it.

        I supposed he’s more into the traditional ballads he sings.

      I fucking love me some Vitas.

      It’s a shame he kinda gets memed on because of the goofiness of 7th element. The song itself is great with a catchy, kinda relaxing tune. But the stage performance is pretty interesting too. The costumes and the puppet like motions of the background dancers is really wild.

    Pretty much anything by Kesha. I’m known, in my group of friends to be somewhat of a music snob and quasi audiophile… Kesha is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

      Just make sure you listen to her new stuff, she gets nothing from the old stuff, I think.

      New stuff is wild though, she certainly aged alongside me and I’m hear for it.

      Dude, they’re the best! The beats, the weirdly awesome announcer voice, the music videos with way too much production budget somehow, and (mostly) historically accurate raps!

      But yes, most people I want to show them to would immediately shut it off and shout “language!” Like Captain America.

        I remember being enamoured by the backgrounds on the James Bond vs Austin Powers when I got my first phone with an amoled display. That and they were the jumping off point for so much learning for me!

    Released literally this week: On-lyne “Party of your lifetime”. It’s from an upcoming update for a game called Warframe, and it’s basically distilled 90s boyband earworm. It’s like Backstreet Boys and N Sync had a bunch of boy babies, fed them crack and taught them to sing. And for some reason I unironically LOVE it - I’ve been listening to it on repeat for hours, I need help :P

      Haha, there’s no help. That’s fantastic, I’m hit right in the boy band nostalgia! It’s kinda hard to believe sometimes how good video game music has gotten.

        Thing is, I want really a fan of boybands back then, so I have no idea why it hit me so hard now - I didn’t hate them, but I preferred other things. This song though, welp, hook, line and sinker. I even love the silly wink-wink-nodge-nudge lines like “boys are in sync” - I’m literally listening to the song as I write this, but the way :D

    Erasure - Always. Perhaps I’m mostly ashamed because of how I picked this song up, from an old Flash game. Or perhaps of the lyrics being kind of bad, but the musical part is so awesome that I can’t help it.
