Im going back to old albums and this week, the mood is poignant Tracy Chapmans Fast Car.
Just discovered Masayuki Suzuki and been going through his discography. My vocal range is practically the same as him so I got a lot of new karaoke songs under belt.
A lot of Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky
Maroon 5- Songs About Jane, Olivia Dean- The Art of Loving,
Jame Foxx- Unpredictable, Stevie Wonder- Talking BookComfort fallback to my first introduction to Joni Mitchell - “Hits” - somewhat smallish but well curated compilation.
Also, later found out they made a “Misses” compilation album, too, so I finally figured out what the album cover meant 😅
I’m not sure if it’s just by coincidence, however recently I’ve been getting various Lesbian singers recommended to me by YouTube. And they’ve been pretty fire.
Chappell Roan, Girl in Red, Frances Forever (love the Space Girl song), etc.Usually some punk mixed in the playlists, from Crass to Mudrats (been fond of their song “I Hate Rich Cunts”, very catchy). Along this vibe there’s I guess closer to a punky UK Garage fusion with Cuppa Tea by EV.
Well I’ve been playing this game called Pacific Drive. It’s a driving game, but also survival horror. It’s like Jalopy, but with the anomalies from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The game is fantastic, I highly recommend it.
Anyway, the soundtrack seriously slaps. They licensed music from independent and lesser known artists for the radio stations, and it’s all super atmospheric and perfect.

Fun Fact: Thích Quảng Đức, the monk in the picture was not protesting the Vietnam War, but rather the Catholic oppression of the Buddhist majority by the American puppet government.
I’m listening to this 1995 masterpiece every day after my workout lately:
Fast Car is a classic.
Open invitation to you and everyone else to post what you’re listening to on !eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online so even more people can enjoy. 💚
😚 Thanks always good to find a new community.
Fast Car is one of those songs that always makes me cry.
I’ve been listening to Bob Marley & the Wailers:
Get up, stand up: stand up for your right
Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight
Trying to keep it lighter & instrumental this week after been on a bit of a metal streak
Boards of Canada music has the right to children and campfire headphase, The Field, Tycho, Onra, Monster Rally, Bonobo, Ott, Com Truise
This is my niche comfort genre. If you’re interested in newer artists who share that BoC aural flavor, you should check out PBS73, Midday Static, Cylan, and Ghostwerk.
Thanks for the recs, I haven’t heard of any of them I’ll check them out!
Great album
