Love good video game music. Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori have been one of my most listened to seeds on pandora. Yes I still use pandora. Favorite soundtrack is probably the soundtrack to vvvvvv.

Been getting (back) into classic 70s Yes!

Made a playlist of Close to the Edge side A, classics from Fragile (if you know you know) and ending with Ancient Giants under the sun ... comes out to be about album length ... peak prog rock IMO ... and a strangely addictive "album" you can just listen to repeatedly.

I've been grooving on some younger folks that got started on YouTube. There's a bunch of kids that are/were in the new York area, and they've got this loose almost collective where they play together on each other's channels.

Anyway, they're all pretty damn good, but there's two that stand out. Carson Mckee and Josh Turner. They do a wide range of stuff, though they lean heavy into folk, americana, and that sort of thing. They started out doing covers, but have done their own music too.

But those two guys call themselves "The Other Favorites" as a duo, and have an album. Turner is a damn fine guitarist with a great voice. McKee is an amazing singer that's solid on guitar.

My absolute favorite track of theirs is Cherry Wine. I'm not going to say much about it because there's a bit of an experience in listening to it the first time without preconceptions.

And there's Have Mercy that's just a strangely sweet song despite the subject matter.

They both do solo stuff, and do projects with other people, but there's something a little more synergistic about the two of them together.

The stuff that isn't on the album is just as good. It's mostly covers, but they have this habit of putting enough of their own flavor to songs that they don't feel like covers at all.

rediscovering my own music collection recently, Biffy Clyro, Muse and Talking Heads are my favorites right now

Fleetwood Mac, Kina, Nicotine dolls, Teddy Swims for running errands.

Walker & Royce for workouts.

My spooky podcast for everything in between.

Relatos de la noche.

I didn't mention it because it's only in spanish there's no english version. But I think it can also be enjoyed as asmr because the guy has a fantastic voice.

Nice, I’ll have to check it out. Have you ever tried the show Escuela Secreta? The topics and guests are usually very interesting.
