What are you Listening to?

[innerspaceboy]

Just experienced a total music coincidence!

I saw a live video in my social media feed of Prodigy performing "Fuel My Fire," the album-closer from Fat of the Land.

I thought, "you know, the song is structured almost identically to L7's "Riding with a Movie Star." I remembered the song from an industrial/grunge metal mixtape someone made me back in high school.

So I Googled it. Lo and behold, "Fuel My Fire" was originally written and performed by L7. And not only that, it's from the same LP as "Riding with a Movie Star!"

Crazy!

Was listening to this tune again today. A steady drum and bass rhythm. The keys noodle the verses and the horns lay down the choruses. The keys solo at 2:14 until 3:15 is quite dirty.

This song man, makes no sense when MAGA hat wearers don't like black people.

Is this song sarcastic?

Nope I found other black maga rap songs while looking for the extended version of one that I found posted on X recently.

I saw this clip on IG and had to find the full video. Now I'm a Camilla fan.

Full video is so weird and trying to be random but I like some of the concepts. Getting beer poured out of a gas station pump. 


Also as many times as I have listened to this song. I can't understand what Playboi Carti is saying. Grrrrr mumble rap

He's here, he's queer and he's made a great album.

If you like catchy pop or disco or synthpop or just want to feel good and happy then get this. It is really good.

Enjoying some nostalgia

And also revisited Missing Persons. I like this one:

^ I don't know anything about XTC really, but that was still not at all what I expected. Nice.

^ Of recently posted songs here, I liked this one best ! It made a refreshing change from the music I've been listening to recently, which I'm going to call Folk Fusion until someone calls me out on it: stuff like:-

If you've never heard their Skylarking record, it's 45 minutes very well spent. @Guybrush will back me up on that.

Yes, @SGR has noticed my posting of XTC songs lately I have listened to them quite a bit, including Skylarking which I enjoy.

I have looked into them before, maybe around 15 years ago or so, but they didn't quite stick with me then. But for the last 5 year or so maybe, there's been an increasing amount of New Wave bands in my rotation so I guess my ears had ripened and were ready. On revisiting them, I've found a much greater appreciation.

An album I did check out back then was Drums and Wires, so I'm gonna re-explore that one a bit. Of course we all love Making Plans for Nigel, but I also quite like this one:
