I broke every browser on my system tonight but also found a load of good new music.
Yeehaw.
Music
Notable
I can recognize if it’s Blu DeTiger playing bass after like 3-4 notes.
And that’s something.
352
I listened to all or part of 352 new (to me) songs this morning.
Of those, I liked 17. This took about two hours. And to those who says there is no good new music: Of course there is. You just have to make the effort to hear it.
Saccharine
Tonight, I listened to all or part of 213 new (to me) songs.
Of those, I liked 11. This took about 1.25 hours.
Song Swim
I listened to all or part of 392 new (to me) songs tonight/this morning.
Of those, I liked 16. This took approximately two hours.
What’s the Dyl?
Try as I might, I never have and still do not see what’s so special about Bob Dylan. His appeal is completely lost on me, both musically and as a celebrity apart from that.
I feel like Dylan about some people do about Taylor Swift, I guess.
Appealing Pealing
I listened to all or part of 409 new (to me) songs this morning.
Of those, I liked 20.
Music Curbed
TIFU by calling my girlfriend’s music taste ”basic.”
Playing music out loud in a pricy restaurant on a phone is a huge red flag. It’s good she kicked him to the curb — for his sake.
That said, never insult anyone’s taste in music. It can only go wrong…and just, why? It’s pointless. Everyone has to start somewhere. And not everyone is going to be the kind of listener you are or care about music at all. I’ve known several people who just didn’t listen to music at all. Any kind. Ever.
Hell, all y’all can see how broad my tastes are and because I don’t listen to full albums “true” music aficionados have called me basic and unrefined in the past.
Referring to anything by Taylor Swift as “underground,” though, is pure crazy. That part made me laugh.
New Tuneage
I listened to part or all of 262 new (to me) songs tonight/this morning.
Of those, I liked 16.
All Bum
I barely have a dog in this fight as I do not listen to albums and pretty much never have. In fact, I think I have only listened to (maybe) three of those albums in their entirety, though I’ve heard songs from all of them.
Albums to me have always felt a bit outmoded; I just do not consume music that way and never have. It’s all about the song for me.
Not Blu
Blu DeTiger, you’ve fucking ruined me. I kind of hate you now. 😉
Now when I listen to any other song with a bassline, I think, I wish Blu were playing this; she’d sound better. Ugh she is so embarrassingly good.
Stale Chimps
I’m not a particular fan of The Talking Heads, but I listen to a vastly broader range of music now than when I was in my teens and early 20s. I discover new genres and many, many new artists I really like all the time.
Turns out, you don’t have to go stale till you actually die.
Disco(very)
I listened to all or part of 391 new (to me) songs tonight/this morning.
Of those, I liked 23.
It’s There
Anyone who says there isn’t any good music made anymore: LOL, y’all stupid.
There’s plenty. You just are too lazy to find it.
