Im going back to old albums and this week, the mood is poignant Tracy Chapmans Fast Car.
I’ve been coming back to a eurobeat mixtape Hyundai put out a few years ago, playing over footage of a Nordschleife endurance race. Just playing the whole video, start-to-finish.
Jessa Stebbins’s music is great on its own, I’ve got a lot of her tracks on my own playlists already, but this arrangement combined with the sounds of revving engines and squealing brakes in between songs, adds another layer to everything.

A playlist I made and have been playing a least once a day this week, no real category or anything just went with what I felt like adding:
Tidal: https://tidal.com/playlist/957863ac-2f13-4035-aac1-97ec1c3073bb
Youtube (one song missing): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZeNdb-IjuBCN8S4wz2WFHd9O7h_4yNQe
Anyone have any recommendations for sharing playlists easily? I use Tidal but know few others that do, and would rather not use youtube.
Edit: here’s a screenshot and text of the whole list if you want to use something else to make/listen to it: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/48a1a0ad-e52d-4083-a2ad-46e97e8aa201.jpeg

Also been listening a lot to Franco Battiato: https://youtube.com/@francobattiatovevo
(Sort by popular if you haven’t heard it before, the top songs there are all amazing).Blue Oyster Cult Fire of Unknown Origin. We went to a record fair last week and I picked up a decent copy of it, I had it when I was a lad but lost it in multiple moves, so it’s lovely and nostalgic.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Journey lately. I mean I’ve always liked Journey but they’ve really just been hitting the spot lately.
slept on the floor still dreamt of you - meat computer is such a fun little album
Anamanaguchi - Anyway
Origami Angel - Feeling Not Found
CHVRCHES - Every Open Eye
Bilmuri - AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS (420CC EDITION)
Origami Angel fucking slaps.

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.
… which feels like protesting the Vietnam War, if we’re being honest. Both are facets of American imperialism in the region.
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
I’m listening to this 1995 masterpiece every day after my workout lately:

Not sure what album it’s on, but Cup Of Coffee is one of my all-time favourite Shirley Manson songs. If you haven’t listened to Angel fire, check em out
Also holy shit your name. I look like your name I swear

I was introduced to Wardruna on my way to go see Wardruna 5 ish years ago in Vancouver.
They are great live not just in the studio!
I haven’t seen them live. Yet. Where did you see them?

Futter-wacken.
I usually listen to punk and rock, but today I’m having a boiler replaced, and the gas engineer introduced me to Gold Radio, a UK based station. They’ve been playing classics from the 50s to the 80s, so I’ve heard loads of old songs that I haven’t heard for years.
Right now one of my favourites is playing though, Mister Blue Sky by ELO. Possibly one of the best songs of all time :D
