Laufey - “Christmas Dreaming” | This winter has def been Laufey’s yr. But her souldful jazzy voice is actually really good for XMas songs. Plus this twin video is adding extra warmth.

Wolfram & Desire - “Sad Ibiza Song” | I’m really falling for most bands under the label of Italians Do It Better. They all have a electronic 70s sound, that is just pure fun. Also a lot of their artists like to do videos that reminds me of the Giallo genre.

The Novembers - “NEO TOKYO Live at TSUTAYA O-EAST “ NEO KYO - 20191111 - ” | Just caught these guys at Fujirock Fest 2022 and they covered Kaneda from Akira??!? An anime classic. Finally someone in a none soundtrack setting covers this song? pure gold. And it even ends up sounding like a LCD Soundsystem track. OTOH, The Novembers sounds like a modern version of The Cure, a little moody but with more modern guitar sounds.

Meitei - “Oiran II” | Thanks to a random list of top 2020 Japanese albums, i discovered this track. I always have a soft spot for samples of early 20th century Asian sounds. This has a tad bit of that trip hop sound minus all the bass. I’m hooked.

Yu-Peng Chen, HOYO-MiX - “Another Hopeful Tomorrow + This Little Light of Mine Extended“ | So i got hooked on playing Genshin Impact. besides all the problematic RMT stuff, the soundtrack is amazing. This is one of my favorite tracks from the Liyue area, this Youtuber was nice enough to take the two short tracks and loop it to a 7m version. Combined with Breath of the Wild-like landscapes, this track is the definition of serene.

告五人 - “愛人錯過” | Its been awhile. But after listening to some 金曲奖 nominees i came across this 告五人 song. Really need to follow them more. They are catchy, a great mix of vocals and spacey guitars, and that climatic buildup… all winning characteristics in my book.

Sleeping At Last - “Love is All Around” | Never expect this song to be dont in a serious way. But if nothing, Ryan O’neal can give anything some gravity and weight.

Wei Na Hu, Shuang Ding - “Show Yourself” | Into the Unknown was never going to be the anthemic sequel to Let It Go. Show Yourself was always the song. But i guess there are spoiler elements in this song, so you can never promote the movie with it. Thus… here’s the mandarin versions, spoilerless and fun to hear all these disney songs in Chinese.
