Big Time Nothing - St. Vincent Catchy groove, groovy bass, some sweet lyrics (see the video below, it's pretty good for one of those lyrics videos. I usually don't enjoy those, this was the exception to the rule).
Kidnap The Sandy Claws - Korn If you've ever seen 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' by Tim Burton, you're familiar with this song. But the Nightmare Revisited album brings such cool covers/reworks of the songs of the movie that it's worth a listen if you're a
Path Vol. 2 - Apocalyptica There was a time when I loved Apocalyptica above all other bands/music. I went to see them twice in concert. Those were epic concerts. I would listen to their albums on repeat. And the song that stuck with me the most was 'Path Vol. 2'. There'
Europapa - Joost Klein Update Monday 13/05/2024: I write these posts a few days in advance, so I don't actually have to write a single post every day. This way when I'm too busy or forget to write a post, at least something will come out. So of
City Lights - Blanche Best belgian ever. Those deep nasal vocals, and then in the end that sudden eruption of emotion (which she nailed during the final perfomance and got her a 4th place in 2017, one of the best Belgian results in recent history)
The Code - Nemo Best of semi-final 2: Switserland! It's the first song of the Eurovision playlist on Spotify and it immediately kicks off with a great track.
Who the Hell Is Edgar? - TEYA, SALENA Eurosong week: day 2. Today we'll be talking a look, or rather have a listen to what I think is the best song of last year. Better than that 'Tattoo' stuff from Sweden (sorry...) Who the Hell Is Edgar? A song about being possessed by the
Rim Tim Tagi Dim - Baby Lasagne It''s Eurosong week! I know it's a stupid thing, with silly music, hyperproduced and over the top and every other thing that's bad about music when blown out of proportion like this. But damn, I love it! Just one week a year, that&
Ghost - Square Hammer I used to be a Metal fan, but not anymore last couple years. However there's one band that I still regularly listen to: Ghost. There's something mysterious about the band: they always perform wearing masks, much like Slipknot, except we don't know who the
Bleed It Out - Linkin Park Linkin Park released a new album! You can tell you're a kid of the 90's when that excites you this much... I've always liked Linkin Park, it was hard picking just 1 song that's great. But I ended picking 'Bleed It
Star Wars (Main Theme) - John Williams, London Symphony Orchestra May the 4th be with you! It's Star Wars day! And we're celebrating by one of my favorite composers: John Williams. All his soundtracks are so epic: Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, ... You name it! I could go in depth on the musical themes etc
Smack My Bitch Up - Noisia Remix You're probably familiar with the song right? Well, turn your volume up to 11, cause that's exactly what Noisia did with the track: turn it up to 11. Put everything in overdrive, make it sound even more hardhitting and brutal. Just like they did with the
Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter The algorithm suggested I listen to this song and it did not disappoint: easy pop, espresso and Nintendo in the lyrics. An 'easy on the eyes' vocalist, easy on the ears as well. Produced and mastered to death: dynamic range is dead! All the sound is right there
Amused To Death - Roger Waters One of those audiophile albums, the recording and mastering is pristine, it's a sonic masterpiece. But one can argue that the lyrics and message of the song/entire album isn't that great... Roger Waters is known to have a very vocal opinion on what happens in
Speak To Me - Julian Lage Jazz, guitar, smooth as butter. That rhythm, that bass riff. Great new release, check out the full album, it's well worth a listen. Or go watch the music video/live performance of this one!
Suzy - Caravan Palace Ah, the roaring twenties! But not the ones we live in, the ones from last century. Combine them with contemporary electrobeats and you get: electroswing! A funky, swinging melting pot of the genres. This song always puts me in a good groove, I sure would've loved to live
All The Small Things - Blink 182 The intro of this song catapults me back in time, to the time where I was a teenager... Playing the guitar, only knowing powerchords and using them to play every darn punk song (this one included) badly. Rebelling against the establishment! And much like Blink 182 becoming part of the
Orange Colored Sky - Nat King Cole I watched the 'Fallout' series last week, does it show in my musical taste this week? Obviously not! Whoever did the sound and especially the music on that show has a great sense of humor, picking the perfect 40's and 50's songs that fit
Diem Ex Dei - Globus Globus Double Day! This one is a great bass test track. It rumbles and builds up slowly, up to no good. You can feel the earth's energy somehow in this track. The rhythm kind of feels like the sea, coming and going, giving and taking, again and again.
The Promise - Anneke Van Giersbergen, Globus Funny that today's song is titled 'The Promise', as I've broken my promise to you, my dear readers (oh that makes me sound old). Spend the past couple days in bed with Covid, unable to write blogposts or even listen to music properly. One
Kelly Moran - Butterfly Phase After all that heavy stuff from the past couple days/weeks. Let's chill down a bit with some piano music. I've always loved the piano as an instrument: Chopin is one of my fav composers. So when I discovered Kelly Moran, oh boy was I happy.
Fortnight (feat. Post Malone) - Taylor Swift I don't really follow Taylor Swift, but it seems that today everyone in the music blogsphere is talking about the new release. So I should join in as well right? Decided to give the new album a listen and what do you know, I like the bassy groove
Memories (feat. Kid Cudi) - David Guetta There was this one summer that I put this track on repeat and must've listened to it about a gazillion times. There's something hopeful, joyful, about the lyrics. Accompanied by a great groove, it was the song of that summer: All the crazy shit I did
Nobody Knows - Autograf, WYNNE Another one from my 'Speaker testing tracks' playlist. This one is great to test soundstage and bass. I love the atmosphere in this track.
