This year I decided to make a playlist to keep track of all the songs that I got “obsessed” with – by my definition, anything that I found myself listening to more than once or twice within the span of a week. This was also a very interesting way of keeping track of the languages that I listened to music in, and it was strange seeing the divide between my perception and the reality. While I thought that I listened to much less music in Catalan and much more in Spanish and Basque, Catalan is by far the language of the majority of my music. These are the official numbers:

Catalan (50.2% or 138 songs) - Surprisingly, only 41.3% of this (or 57 songs) was from Valencia, which was much lower than I was expecting. I feel like I listen to much more Valencian music than I do music from Catalonia, but apparently that is not the case.

Spanish (13.8% or 38 songs) - I do actually listen to a fair amount of Spanish music, although this number was lower than I was expecting. Most of it came later in the year – the first song in Spanish showed up 49 songs into the playlist, and there were only about 5 Spanish songs in the first 100. I did listen to a lot of ex-La Raíz groups in the winter/spring though (Ciudad Jara, Nativa, Valira) so that bumped up the numbers.

English (10.5% or 29 songs) - Normally this would surprise me but I listened to so much of The Longest Johns, El Pony Pisador, and the Dreadnoughts that I can see how this number is so high. Also Eurovision because I’m trash but that’s only like 5 songs.

Basque (8.7% or 24 songs) - I was listening to so much good Basque music that I didn’t realize the actual number of songs was so small. Most of this was from around May or in the last couple of weeks, although in November I found several of my favorite Basque songs of the year, namely “Kea” by Zea Mays which is just *heart eyes*.

Arabic (4.7% or 13 songs) - I thought this was only going to be Mashrou’ Leila but turns out I also listened to a couple of songs by Rachid Taha/Khaled/Faudel (1,2,3 Soleils), as well as by A-WA, so the full range of the Arab world is pretty well-represented.

Tamasheq (2.5% or 7 songs) - Most of this was from me consuming full albums of Bombino, Tamikrest, Imarhan, and Mdou Moctar the last few days, but there’s also a couple of Tinariwen classics in there.

Italian (2.2% or 6 songs) - This is entirely Eurovision’s fault, the reason Italian is even on here is because I have to have my fix of Francesco Gabbani and Mahmood.

Romani (1.8% or 5 songs) - This might have been more if there was more Romani music on Spotify, most of it is only on Youtube so I couldn’t add it to the list. Šaban Bajramović gets a shout-out here.

French (1.5% or 4 songs) - Normally I would be insulted that French even made it on here, but it’s Faudel, who doesn’t count; Kendji Girac, who is the only French person I respect; and Stromae, who can stay I guess.

Irish, Welsh, and Tamazight (0.7% or 2 songs each) - Irish was due to Seo Linn, I really Do Not have Welsh music that I like besides 2 songs by Sŵnami and Yws Gwynedd, and the Tamazight was from the song I posted here and one other.

Slovenian, Zulu, Tuvan, and Hungarian (0.4% or 1 song each) - Zulu was from Johnny Clegg, Tuvan was from El Pony Pisador’s version of “Daglarym”, and Hungarian was from “Ha Menni Akarok” which I was only listening to for Parno Graszt’s verses so that technically counts for Romani as well. Don’t ask what Slovenian was from.

Also worth noting that I categorized each language by what the majority of the song was in, so there are several songs which could have fit in multiple categories (mostly a couple more for Basque and Irish).

I’m interested in what languages you guys listen to music, if you want to do something like this please tag me or let me know! And if any of you want to know names of specific artists/songs/albums I’d be glad to pass those on as well.

Tag nine people with excellent taste

I was tagged by @mandi-cakes

Also I appreciate being tagged but my god the cackle I let out at the idea I have excellent taste was inhuman. I’m currently wearing a scarf poncho, listening to Tuvan Throat Singing, periodically making bizarre noises in an effort to create my own language, and freaking the hell out of my cat. I am officially that crazy eccentric white chick they make fun of in sitcoms because they’re so fucking weird.

Favorite Colour(s): Black is very pretty and makes such a lovely contrast with other colors.  Red is an old favorite but lately neon or jewel tone purples and blues seem more attractive.

Last band t-shirt I bought: I’ve never actually bought a band shirt. I love music but I’m not really into band merch. I would have bought a tee at the Fall Out Boy concert I went to as a memento but the ticket broke my wallet.

Last band I saw live: Ok I know I’ve seen  a few bands like the Celtic band live at a Celtic festival but the only band I ever actually went to see live was Fall Out Boy a few years ago.

Last song I listened to: I am currently listening to Tuvan Throat Singing on youtube because it was mentioned in a linguistics video as an example of overtone singing... 

Last movie I watched: ...I am drawing a blank. Seriously I’m either binge watching a show every spare minute or I haven’t touched the TV in two months. I think it might have been Black Panther, but I feel like I might have watched something since then on netflix I’m forgetting...

Last three TV shows I watched: I think... I watched a couple episodes of Justice League Animated cuz I was feeling nostalgic... One Day at a Time which is Hilarious and Wonderful! and hmmm... I know I’ve watched something else since but I can’t remember anything other than the most recent binge rewatch of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Last 3 characters I identified with:

Hermione Granger- the nerdy overexcited bookworm sister of my soul. Seriously I was that obnoxious little no it all that stood and desperately waved their hand in class. I Feel her. 

Pheobe Buffay- I just realized writing the intro to this post. I’m Pheobe. I’m that weird friend with bizarre interests whose personality is like 90% quirk.

Drawing a blank on number three so I’ll just leave it here.

Books I’m currently reading: ...There are so many bookmarks in so many books. I either read in one sitting or take over a year to finish something. I think most recently I got halfway through rereading The Prisoner of Azkaban and started rereading Pride and Prejudice, but I haven’t touched either in over a month. I cracked open my Language and Linguistics textbook and The Language Construction Kit last week but considering I’ve been stuck on the first couple chapters for over 3 years that probably doesn’t count.

Feel free to answer and tag me if you want but I’m not gonna tag anybody :)
