Strobe Lights - Red Sebastian

Strobe Lights - Red Sebastian

Ok, so I gotta be honest here. I normally only post music that I 100% vibe with, that moves me, that engages me, that I like, that is good. This one however, not so much. I heard it a while back for the first time, and while compared with last

One of These Days - Live at Pompeii - Pink Floyd

One of These Days - Live at Pompeii - Pink Floyd

I remember my dad playing Pink Floyd albums on repeat in the car while driving when I was a kid. I always kinda liked them, they're the soundtrack of my childhood basically. And now that I'm older I'm actively rediscovering them and loving them.

What Was That - Lorde

What Was That - Lorde

MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that? I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life" Well, I want you just like that Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm and it

Cross the Divide - Epica

Cross the Divide - Epica

Yesterday I talked about a new track from Linkin Park. Today we'll talk about a new track from Epica! I used to love every female fronted metal band when I was 14-15: Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica, ... But it kind off faded away, I don't really listen

Heavy Is the Crown - Linkin Park

Heavy Is the Crown - Linkin Park

I've been enjoying Linkin Park in my teen days. The first songs: Numb, In the End. That era. Even some of the more recent stuff: What I've Done, Bleed It Out. And even more recent: The Catalyst. I really liked Chester's cameo appearance in

Vide Cor Meum - Patrick Cassidy

Vide Cor Meum - Patrick Cassidy

In the movie 'Hannibal', the sequel to 'Silence of the Lambs', there's a scene where the titular Hannibal Lecter attends the Opera and this song plays. I always wondered what opera it was from. When I googled it, I found out that the music

4 Minutes (feat. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland) - Madonna

4 Minutes (feat. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland) - Madonna

Thumping bass, catchy groove, Madonna, Justin Timberlake. What is not to like? I used to have this on repeat back in 2008 when it released. Let's save the environment and have some fun doing it! Also: them boots on Madonna in the videoclip. I'll never forget

Padam Padam - Kylie Minogue

Padam Padam - Kylie Minogue

Kept heering this on the radio thinking 'sounds good', looked it up, shocked to see it was by Kylie Minogue. Well, well, added it to my Liked Songs in Spotify. Yet another pop song today. Maybe tomorrow one more? (Abracadabra?)

Call My Name - Cheryl

Call My Name - Cheryl

It was the summer of 2012, and the Youtube music algorithm proposed I should listen to Cheryl Cole. And I fell in love with this track, and the music video. It played on repeat for a very very long time that summer. I know musically it's boring, just

Glassworks I: Opening - Philip Glass

Glassworks I: Opening - Philip Glass

I became a father (for the second time) last week, and while coming back from dropping off my oldest son (3 years old), this song came on the radio. And it just clicked, this song was perfect for that perfect moment of happiness: a wonderful little family, sun shining as

Last couple weeks I've been back listening to more music, the inner audiophile has awakened! And this is a great song to test vocals with. And dynamic range, and bass. Ejoy

Walking On Air - Kerli

Walking On Air - Kerli

It starts with a deep dark bass, then this sweet voice starts singing these very very dark lyrics: There's a creepy little house in a creepy little place Little creepy town in a little creepy world Little creepy girl with her little creepy face Saying funny things you

Homecoming - Kanye West, Chris Martin

Homecoming - Kanye West, Chris Martin

This has to be one of the more weird collaborations out there: Mr. Ye and Chris Martin. With Kanye West in the news again at the grammy's, I was reminded of this song. It's not really my style, but back when it released and MTV was

Drunk, Running - Lizzy McAlpine

Drunk, Running - Lizzy McAlpine

Scrolling through some new releases and found this gem. Alternative-y, sweet vocals, lovely bass that swoops in after a little while. It's one of those: sit back, turn up the volume, drink some coffee and drown out the stressful outside world kind of songs. I like those. Calms

Turning Tables - Adele

Turning Tables - Adele

The Daily Groove is 1 year old! 1 year ago I started this music blog by sharing music that I liked every day. After a while it turned out that shurning out a blogpost every day is way too exhausting, so the frequently dropped a little, but every once in

Happy Newyear chooms! I'm busy replaying Cyberpuk 2077, finally getting around to the Phantom Liberty campaign and am constantly reminded that the soundtrack of this game is a banger! Don't worry, I'll keep pushing cool tracks your way in 2025 and well into 2077!

All I Want for Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

Ho Ho Ho, got you good didn't I? It's that time of year when I listen to these playlists for about 2 weeks, and then I'm sick of all the songs in them, until the next year. It's the end of the

Die With A Smile - Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars

So, I was in the car, driving to I don't remember where when suddenly this one came up. Oh great, another one of those sleezy love songs... Sounds like Bruno Mars, yeah, nevermind, oh, wait, what's that? Those female vocals, that's her! That'

Disease - Lady Gaga

Out of the blue, this popped up in my recommended playlist: the new Gaga! And not just 1 song, but 2 songs! There's a 2nd one with Bruno Mars as well, but I like this one better! I could play the doctor, I can cure your disease If

Temple of Love - Sisters of Mercy

Temple of Love - Sisters of Mercy

You run for cover in the temple of love! Ah, such an epic track... A little dark, gothic, the drum computer making it sound a little electronic. Not a lot to say, just enjoy this 8 minute long 'extended version' that just keeps going and going! I used

Stand My Ground - Within Temptation

Stand My Ground - Within Temptation

Ah, Dutch Female Fronted Metal! I love this genre! Or at least, I used to, it's been a while since I've dabbled into it, but the Spotify shuffle algorithm pushed this one in my ears today, and I'm grateful for it, it's

Play For Real (feat. The Heavy) - Dirtyphonics Remix - The Crystal Method

I used to go to a lot of festivals when I was in college. I had 'connections' (talking about you Daniel!) that could get me in all the big festivals in Belgium for free, all I had to do was volunteer and be 'security' at the
