Christian Rock sure has changed …
That is not what I expected. It makes me think of this:
As for stuff that is only slightly less meme but definitely music, this is what I’ve been listening to the past couple days:
For keyboard enthusiasts of a different kind.
…and also fans of Sonic 3, oddly enough.
Tasty jams - and tasty keebs - bringin’ the world together.
Today it’s The Buena Vista Social Club for something different around the office.
Lol the idea that Michael Jackson worked on Sonic 3 is such a cool urban legend thing - A Brief History of Michael Jackson's Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - YouTube
Speaking on the idea of video game music using samples, I recently went down the rabbit hole that is Streets of Rage. Lots of cool early 90’s house and dance influences.
Isn’t it? That’s actually the video I learned about it from. Tracing the paths of influence through music is absolutely fascinating to me, and I especially love seeing unexpected connections like that. Probably why I love both vaporwave and hip-hop so much; they’re positively dripping with that kind of thing.
If you like VGM and vaporwave, take a look at NMESH if you haven’t already:
the N is silent.
My favorite sample-based / sample-heavy music is the sort that uses the samples not only for their aural aesthetics, but for their historical and/or topical context - almost like a reference, citation, and signpost to recommended related reading all in one.
I will check it out. The only vaporwave album I have really got into was the Saint Pepsi one. Love the Toad sound bite from Mario Kart 64 used in one of the first tracks
Saint Pepsi is one of my faves - definitely the “fun” side of vaporwave - that sub-sub-genre even spawned its own keyset…
Anybody scrolling-up will see a good handful of Future Funk music posts from me in this thread. I’m pretty sure I was totally unaware of it at the peak of its popularity but I listen to it on the regular these days.

new Amine album is super solid. experimental production that’s really sticking with me. this song in particular gives me Jai Paul vibes
What’s that? Wish you could go to a rave back in the 90’s? Well - I can’t help you there, but you might like this:
Edit: this gif plays in my mind non-stop while listening to this album:
My sis keeps talking about beans and cornbread so
Today, I will listen to some Pallbearer and a Spotify Christmas playlist or two.
I also love music, I play, record and produce it.
I also record and produce! Do you have somewhere I could hear some of your work?
I’ve DM’ed you some links (didn’t want to pollute the thread)
I was watching Book of Boba Fett today and I can’t decide who did it best
Can’t blame him cuz it’s a catchy tune that people in Sweden grew up with.
Both are pretty cool. The songs give me Conan vibes. The image of Boba being pulled behind the Banta(?) with the music reminded me a lot of the beginning of the Conan movie.
Overall, I am loving the vibe. Seems like Favreau and Filoni are really trying to make Boba bad ass. I think based on his look Boba has always been cool, but that hasn’t really always been translated to the main films.
As a side note I’ve noticed a fascinating overlap between Aes fans and cheeky weebs. Not necessarily surprising - but fascinating. It’s a colorful juxtaposition, at least.
I thought I was going to choke on my own chuckles after hearing a vtuber attempt to spit the chorus from Whales. One of those prolific clip channels had been using lyrics from the Hail Mary Mallon song in their outro - which was hilarious on its own being sung by a little cartoon cat-person - but they had rhythm. The vtuber did not. 'Twas a valiant attempt to pronounce ‘foie gras’, but alas - 'twas not to be.
I hope so much that Aes has seen that somehow.
I haven’t listened to K-pop in a while but I stumbled onto this song! Pretty catchy!
I love Aesop! Even after years of listening to him, there are still some lines I can’t sing along at speed just because he spits them out so effortlessly.
