I wanted to do a manual Tidal Rewind. Tidal gives you stats every month. This isn’t completely right as it doesn’t seem to properly collate all of my music (from phone and desktop). Especially when I compare it to Last.FM. I listen to way more music than this, but, whatever, it’s fun!
I want to do a some up of what I think you should check out (these links work even if you don’t have Tidal)
I believe Julie has approved of all of these as “Not Awful”TM
I realized I really love Kylie Minogue this year. And yes, I watched her on Home & Away when I lived in England for a summer, but I was not a fan then. I am very much now. Eddie Chacon is fantastic. If you need some chill healing.Do I like Moondoog? Still unclear. I gave him a lot of listens though. Beyonce’s Texas Hold ‘Em is good, but that album didn’t last for me.I was planning a Stardew Valley themed birthday party. And dancing to Kylie.John Grant and CoCo. I mostly listen to “Boy from Michigan”. And CoCo is just pretty much my “making dinner” music.Similar theme. That new Jesus and Mary Chain album was good. Check it out if you haven’t.I think this month I got reminded of “Call Me Goldfinger” by Pepe Deluxie which led to me listening to a lot of their sample heavy dance music.I liked the new Travis album. But I’ve never been as much of a fan as Julie. I think this was also when I remembered that I really love the Drums.That new Pet Shop Boys album really grew on me. “New Bohemia”, “Loneliness”, “Need” – all great. “Nevertheless”. I was listening to a lot of ACLFest music. Chappell Roan is still amazing if you haven’t listened to her yet. And I love Hinds. I need more goofy fun rock music.Found out about Matthew Sweet’s health issues so tried to get him our $5 for the month. The Marias was my favorite find at ACLFest, and Chinese American Bear is just some fun music II found by listening to random new albums.Another great month. Beverly Glenn-Copeland has been really helping to keep me on an even keel this year. Something of a church like experience. Freak Slug is like a mashup of Billie Eilish and Lilly Allen, but feeling really fresh and fun. We Are Wolves are French Canadian Electro Dance.
I feel like I’ve rediscovered some favorites here.
