Here, have some engrish from a place where even the japanese sounds unnatural.

Not strictly music I'm listening to right now, as that would be the gentle hum of an extractor fan, but I am exited I got tickets to Robyn in April

Right now I'm listening to Be a Body, by Grimes.

A couple of weeks ago I got to go to Colorado and see K. Flay in concert. She was amaziiiiiing.

Outside of that, I've been enjoying a lot of lo-fi stuff and some vaporwave and also this playlist on Spotify called Nightride FM (there's apparently also a website http://www.nightride.fm) which is full of synthwave and retrowave and stuff.

It's weird. I was raised on classic rock (still love it) and I always loved things like metal or classical or pop, anything with good instrumental bits and a nice melody. I never thought of myself as a person who enjoys a lot of electronic music, but here we are.

EDIT:

Wait, I figured it out. I've always loved 80s music. It makes sense now.

Retrowave and synthwave is a lot of the stuff I listen to when I'm working. It's awesome.

I'm also listening to a lot of My Chemical Romance at the moment as they're concert announcement has made me happy and excited for a possible UK tour.

I actually found this late last year, but I'm posting now in response to @Trifkin

That's very interesting! I think my favorite track so far is Human Stereo.

I'm still Scrobbling to my LastFM account, but it doesn't show YouTube streams sadly. I work from home normally anyway, but now my wife has started to work from home with me, our music has to be very different as we have the opposite taste most of the time. So the past week has pretty much been videogame soundtracks and our favourite anime from YouTube, inbetween endless Teams meetings.

Apart from right now, when I should be typing up my assignment but I'm here instead. I'm listening to:



Not that I care about KLM, but it's the first in the auto generated Spotify playlist.

Before anyone asks and/or points it out, yes this is the band and song featured in James Halliday's contest in Ready Player One.
I just think it's an amazing piece of art.
