If you don’t use Spotify, what’s your favorite artist and song right now?
They called me a vampire for listening to too much “emotional, atmospheric music.”
and you’re not going to SHARE what this emotional, atmospheric music was?
Apologies.
I believe the responsible parties are: Lorn, less.people, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Death in Vegas, Shlohmo, Ramin Djawadi, and Gustavo Santaolalla.
Not really my jam but I tracked through a few tracks of each band. I will say threw things.
- The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble is a fire band name.
- Something about that song they have Embers feels nice.
- Their description overall was very apt.
Samhain Labs is my jam off that album. TKDE is something else, that’s for sure.
I suppose you’re right, just wasn’t expecting to earn ‘Vampire’ today. Looks like I’ll be watching Louis and Lestat this evening.
You and I might be music brethren. Think that about sums up my year in music.

My wife wrecked my algorithm. 🤣
My kid did mine too. My #3 song was “Everything is Awesome” from the Lego Movie.
Uh huh. Your kid. Sure. 🤣
If you could turn back time
If you could find a way
You’d take back cher.
My top artist was Tenacious D, and my top song was Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai.
He does not need a microphone. His voice is fucking POWERFUL!!!
Funnily enough, that was my most listened song from them! I got to see them do it live during the Spicy Meatball Tour, and his voice is fucking (fucking) POWERFUL!!!
That is epic! Jealous.
Most played artist: Yellowcard
Most played song: Sharks - Imagine Dragons
Every time someone says I should check out Imagine Dragons I just start to imagine dragons. Then I’ve got not time for music.
Imagine dragon deez nuts across your face. Gottem
Gottem balls in ya holes, haha gottem
oh shit
I feel like I need to revisit Yellowcard, one of their albums got heavy play in my early teenagehood.
For me Delain is my top artist, and Surgery from The Vincent Black Shadow was my top song!
I have no idea how that is. But our usernames are…related. So, I felt compelled to respond.
edit: that Vincent Black Shadow song is pretty good
For the first time in many years I’ve no EDM in my top five…feels weird. And apparently, I like A Day to Remember a lot more than I thought.
What were your other top genres? Why do you think you’ve transitioned away from EDM? I feel like I’ve been slowly listening to EDM more over the years (and pop is always my staple), but this year R&B managed to sneak its way into my top five.
Why? Access probably. I get exposed to a lot of EDM from friends and I do really love it a lot. My favorite right now is Apashe.
On the flip side, I’m older. Radio is gone far as I’m concerned so my rock/metal taste have just kind of sat there until this year I got annoyed and for a while made a concerted effort to find new music I like. But now that list has sort of stagnated again. I just don’t have the time.
Ah yeah fair. I try to use Spotify’s algorithms to my advantage to find new stuff I like, but I only seem to resonate with a new song it suggests every now and then.
Years back before Spotify I used to use Pandora. Idk if they are still around but their radio feature always seemed better than Spotify to me. It’s been years though.
I was one of the first subscribers to Pandora. They actually emailed me and gave me 6 months free as a thank you for being the first x number of subscribers. It used to rule. But last time I checked it out I was a bit disappointed. Its like it got dumber somehow.
Caravan Palace. Trashcan
Upvote for Caravan Palace
Favorite new album though, probably afterthoughts by red vox
👏👏🤣🤣
Man this looks like the bins when I worked at a record store in 2005.
I thought exactly the same, if GuyDudeman isn’t in his mid thirties I’d be stunned.
King Gizz, Zappa, and TMBG are all favorites of mine!
Nice! You good good taste 👌

Been a while since I’ve seen people mention Pegboard Nerds.
man I used to listen to them and Krewella a lot when I was 16-18 lol. I’ve still got a soft spot for that era of EDM.
