After working in an alternative club from 2008 to 2010, I could stand to never hear Pendulum ever again. Just absolutely drove me mad hearing the same damn songs (that all sound the same) multiple times a week.

Cleaned up a batch of records so I’m going to be listening to Perturbator for the next little while.
Apologies.

I love seeing other people’s jaws drop when Harry Mack does his thing, and sometimes think it’s a shame that I already know what’s coming, and can’t have that reaction myself anymore. Cue about 4 straight minutes of me being slack-jawed…

Whatever my neighbour is blasting today, it sounds like a synthwave version of Saria’s Song from Ocarina of Time.
Of course now I’m thinking of this:

I ran a D&D one-shot based on The War of the Worlds today, so of course I was listening to this last night:
(The full album, but on Spotify for convenience, rather than the vinyl copy I nabbed from my mum.)

Last night I opened up a box we hadn’t gotten around to unpacking—and discovered that it held my desktop speakers from our Riverside apartment, which I hadn’t seen in nearly a year and thought had been lost in the move. So just now I connected them and tried them out on a variety of pieces: “The Last Saskatchewan Pirate,” “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” (covered by Lyle Lovett and Kat Edmondson), “You’re My Soul and Inspiration,” and “Killer Queen.” I’m pretty happy with the quality; I expect I’ll be listening to a lot more of my library now.
In fact I’m going to test out one more piece, “For unto Us a Child Is Born” . . .

I took out a one-month free trial of AmazonAU Prime to get free delivery on some stuff, and it came with a one-month free trial of Amazon Music. And I have a new high-quality bluetooth headset with efficient noise cancellation. I have been using the combination to rediscover some stuff that I actually have on CD but haven’t listened to since I put my CD player in a cupboard eleven years ago. Brahm’s Variations on Theme by Haydn, Violin Concerto, Double Concerto, and Academic Festival Overture. Beethoven’s Triple Concerto. I’m in general a hopeless David Oistrakh fanboy, but there’s an excellent young violinist called Julia Fischer putting out some great recordings. I’m listening to her 2007 recording of Brahm’s Violin Concerto now, and it’s top notch.
I’ll dig out Mozart’s Divertimento Number Two (K.131) next.

I’ve tried several interpretations, and the one that is really floating my boat right now is by Cappella Istropolitana. They’re really, really tight without being rigid. Just the thing for Mozart chamber pieces, which are liable to be killed by a metronomic performance.

A cover version of a cash-in song from the 1980s… and indeed a song that I’d completely forgotten about until it popped up in the Melodice soundtrack for The Crew. But I already rather like Apoptygma Berzerk.
Ah yes. I remember reading that Bowie was rather upset at Peter Schilling for this song.
