How Long - The Shitz

Belgica! A few years ago there was this Belgian movie called 'Belgica' about a famous bar here. And for that movie, Soulwax created the music, a bunch of little bands each with their own style and tracks that perform in the movie. One that stuck with me has

Attitude - HyunA

Short but powerful today's track is: Somehow the algorithm decided I should have a listen, but I don't really recall every listening to HyunA before, until I browsed through her popular tracks and found this gem from way back when: "bubble, bubble, bubble pop, bubble,

Hurricane - Thirty Seconds To Mars

There's something dark about this track, the video (see below, NSFW warning) especially. And it pulls me, it intrigues me. I've always been intrigued by dark stuff like this, things that 'normal' people deem 'beyond normal'. I've even used a

You Want It Darker - Leonard Cohen

"You Want It Darker" is the title track of the 14th and last studio album with the same title as the title track of Leonard Cohen, who died 17 days after this album came out. It feels as if Leonard felt death arriving and was greeting him as

Bird on a Wire - Jennifer Warnes

If you're an audiophile you've heard of a certain 'Crinacle'. A Youtuber that reviews IEMs (In ear monitors) and other types of audiophile hardware, and who also collaborates with IEM makers to create IEMs that follow his preferred sound characteristics (full Harman!). I myself

World Class Sinner / I'm a Freak - Lily-Rose Depp

A while ago, HBO aired a series called 'The Idol' about a pop artist: Lily-Rose Depp (yet, daughter of Cpt. Jack Sparrow) struggling with being a superstar and finding inspiration for the next big hit, and finding said inspiration in a weird underworld producer type of guy, portrayed

Look Alive - Hana Vu

I've listened to a couple 'recently released' playlists and a few caught my attention (yesterday's St. Vincent was one of them, as well as today's song). It's such a sweet atmospheric song, it relaxes me. I need that sometimes.

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
