• Technical Difficulties by Racer X

    One of my favourite Paul Gilbert songs from his time in Racer X.

    Absolutely incredible riffs throughout.

  • Got the Chas and Dave itch again. Love these guys and the music just instantly makes me happy.

  • The Last Mix Tape’s Top 100 Songs of 2020

    I’ve just listened to a couple of songs recommended by The Last Mix Tape website and loved them all.

    Figured I’d go one better and work through their Top 100 songs of 2020.

  • Anhedonia by Chelsea Wolfe-and Emma Ruth-Rundle

    Beautiful haunting song.

    Gave me similar vibes to parts of the Inland Empire and Mulholland Drive soundtrack.

    There is a very specific song that it’s reminding me of — I just can’t remember what song it is. As soon as I remember I’ll update it here.

    I think it is reminding me of “Llorando” — the French version of Crying from Mulholland Drive.

  • Nymphetamine album — Cradle of Filth

    Released in 2004, this is one of my favourite albums from my younger days.

    Thanks to a work mate, my love for this band has been re-ignited. I have been listened to their albums lots over the past couple of weeks, but this one has stood out to me above most.

    Possibly helped along from the nostalgia I feel for this album.

    Stand out songs for me

    • Track 2 — Gilded Cunt
    • Track 3 — Nemesis
    • Track 5 — Nymphetamine overdose

  • When the random music mix gives you a row of killer songs. 🤘

  • The Man by The Killers

    I’ve never been much of a fan of The Killers. However, this song is an absolute banger. Loved it from the first listen.

  • Listening to Goblin Greatest Hits

    Profondo Rosso by Goblin

    After watching Deep Red last night, the music of Goblin could be a new obsession for me. 🤪

  • California Dreamin’ by The Mamas and the Papas

    Stopped into a church I passed along the way.
    Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees) And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)

    California Dreamin’ by The Mamas and the Papas

    Something in this song feels haunting to me. I can’t quite place my finger on it. It could be the way that each of their voices meets in that ethereal plane that few bands have managed to reach – a sound that I associate with the golden age of music, at least in my opinion.

    I remember watching part of a film in college film studies called “Chungking Express“, which featured this song prominently. I never really paid attention to that film, but I can’t help but feel I should go back and watch it now I’m older and… wiser?
