    Whatever song I last performed to.

    A few years ago Spotify was convinced I absolutely loved Imagine Dragons and inserted them into EVERY playlist because I wrote a performance to Radioactive. I don’t actually care for their music much. Though nowadays I download the song onto my phone to avoid that

    This year it’s The Birthday Massacre, which I’m actually perfectly ok with :)

      Spotify, Play Music, and YouTube Music all try to convince me I like Imagine Dragons and Trampled by Turtles. No matter how many thumbs down I thumbs down them, they make their way into playlists.

      Oh man I have that same problem in Apple Music! I make a playlist out of my set list and have it repeat all week until I have everything down, and then the algorithm picks from it for months after that.

      I’m starting to think maybe I should use one streaming service for learning and another for enjoyment?

      oh man i was obsessed with this video, hahaha it’s the best!

      the whole album is great, and i hadn’t even known there was a Genghis khan video and then i watched it like ten times in a row.

      no joke I’m going to watch it right now.

    Well they did tell me I’m in the top 1% of listeners to Janelle Monae, but it would have to be someone lesser known.

    Probably 3 Strikes by Joshua Ray Walker.

            I got to see them live in a fairly small venue, he’s just as exciting and dynamic as in all the videos.

            I usually like knower better, but the gig i saw was a Louis Cole show, even though Genevieve was there as his main singer and even singing by herself sometimes, and I enjoyed all of it as much as i enjoy knower.

            I didn’t know almost anything that he was playing, I think they were mostly upcoming songs.

    Tom Cardy - Active Perception Check

    It gets stuck in my head a lot and I end up just putting it on.

    Also maybe Skrillex - Bangarang

    Because my go-to thing is when I’m in the kitchen with my wife and daughter I’ll yell “ALEXA! PLAY BANGARANG!” And everyone groans. And then we listen to EDM for as long as it takes for them to leave me to work in the kitchen alone.

        He has a bunch of random songs about random stuff. One of my other favorites is “I don’t work here” and it’s all about people assuming he works where he’s at (grocery store, lifeguard post…) and it gets more and more absurd as the song goes on.

        I’d recommend his YouTube channel, most of his stuff is pretty good.

          oh! have you checked your butthole guy!

          i sent this to everyone when i first came across it.

          i think it was the last thing i saved on reddit before jumping platforms. it all makes sense, i kept thinking it sounded like hycybh and then it popped up.

          absolutely solid gold.

            Me at my house:

            Daughter: “I don’t know where my phone is”

            Me: I don’t say it.

            Daughter: “DAD, I can’t find my phone!”

            Me: I still don’t say it.

            Daughter: Daaaaaad, do you know where my phone is?!"

            Me: deep breath

              hahah, me and my girlfriend still chant it at each other when we’ve lost something, that song has literally changed our lives.

        If I’m on a bus somewhere and put this song on, I can easily listen to this song on repeat for 45 minutes while I trundle along.

        I’ve done that many times, it has the perfect mix of haunt and beauty and excitement.
