1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 :D

Wherever I Go - Jacob Collier ft. Lawrence & Michael McDonald - #1

I was very much anticipating the release of Djesse volume 3, and while I am one hundred percent sure this isn't my actual top song and Spotify messed with my stats this year, it's a solid listen. Experimental as all Jacob songs tend to be, it's a zany banger about remaining connected whenever you're apart, and the pain of missing someone is really well illustrated by three band kids screaming in three part harmony. Since this is my half alive blog, I'll link it to this; if you liked Brighton off of LP 2. Conditions of a Punk, you might like this.

Did I Make You Up? - Acoustic - half alive - #10

I love, love, love whenever we get an acoustic drop, and this one just happened to be on Spotify, so I got lucky and happened to listen to it at least 6 times a day. To be entirely honest, I was a little worried about it being a guitar acoustic set with this song as my favourite part of original DIMYU? was the little piano melody that runs through the chorus, but it translated super well into an addictive little guitar melody instead.

Call Back - half alive - #20

Just a fun, easy going, maybe slightly sad song that we don't need to talk about ramifications of. Everyone knows I love Josh Taylor, and they gave me 3 of him, in one song. At the same time. Certified cruising down the motorway banger - end of story.

Steppin' To The Bad Side - Deluxe Package Edition - Cast of Dreamgirls - #30

Past my secret little musical theatre sideblog, and the stuff I get up to when I'm not writing secret little theories about my favourite band on Tumblr dot com, I don't really talk about how much I love Dreamgirls and musical theatre as a whole. This is my favourite song from it, and though Jimmy Early isn't my dream broadway role (Effie is), this song is a genuine banger, especially the latter portion where they let Eddie Murphy take the role away. Far and away, his performance in this film is his best performance on screen, and it needs to be spoken about more. It is such a shame he didn't win any awards for this role, because he deserved them. Once again, this is my half alive blog, so if you like Automatic, of off LP. 3 Persona, you might like this.

Vanilla Curls - Teddy Hyde - #40

It is always such a treat when I am allowed to listen to a Teddy Hyde song; they are always so thick with imagery and he is a master on keys. Though I will gladly sit and talk about the man behind the song - and am thoroughly awaiting the newest album which appears to be releasing this Friday, I need to give this song its flowers. Vanilla Curls touches on the feeling of falling and being tangled in love with someone, but not a true, genuine love, more the puppy love of sitting barefoot on the grass and looking at the stars. It is a beautifully romantic ballad, with just a hint of something terribly, terribly wrong, and Teddy Hyde does an amazing job on the classical instrumentalisation of it. Everything is layered for a beautiful Sunday morning listening experience. If you liked Songs off of LP 3. Persona, you might like this one.

RUNAWAY - half alive - #50

Without going into too much detail, 2024 was a whirlwind and kept to the tempo of this song far too often. In those moments it was very useful to be reminded that I didn't need to rush into what I was trying to do, and that taking things at the pace they were being given to me was okay. Things didn't go to plan, but Now, Not Yet, did a fabulous job of keeping me right where I needed to be, and 5 years past its release is still as timely and relevant as the day it dropped.

When I Get There - Peter Cottontale w/ Jamila Woods, Grace Weber, Jack Red, Jamilah Woods, Jon Batiste, Maurice Brown, PJ Morton, Jeremih - #60

I am not a Christian, but I am black, and Gospel music is so firmly entrenched in our culture, so it's no surprise this ended up on my wrapped. It is meant as a celebration of life after death; the 'There' referenced is Heaven - and this is lovely imagery that I won't deny. Since I do not personally believe, it's not the imagery I ascribe to the song, and I just love the feeling of people singing and celebrating something together. And the fact it features so many incredible black artists I listen to independently isn't a bad thing either. I truly don't believe there's any equivalency for this one, but give it go! It's delightful.

Stronger Than You - Estelle - #70

Am I outing myself as a Steven Universe fan? Yes. Am I ashamed? Only a little a bit. Does this song still bang 4 years after the end of the show? Abso-fucking-lutely. It is a song about love, but the power of mutual love. The metaphor itself is more ham-fisted than the regular subtleties of half alive but it is a powerful reminder of both love for another person making you strong and lifting you up, as well as self love - 'I am Made of Love' is something I tend to forget, so the lyrical reminder that my love is stronger than hate really tends to resonate with me. There is no equivalency with a half alive song, but ok ok tend to project the same image or feeling.

Nothing Has Changed - The Polar Boys - #80

This song entered my rotation in October and hasn't left since. It's a delightful run of surf rock mixed with a disgustingly poignant depiction of nostalgia and missing someone. It's a song you can break down over and break dance to, and the bass is loud enough to be incredibly addictive without overpowering the mix. It's almost anthemic, especially with the building outro, and anyone who knows my musical tastes knows I love it when multiple people are singing at the same time. If you liked Lie, Lie off of LP 3. Persona, you'll love this.

So Damn Fast - Lawrence - #90

Lawrence got a LOT of hate this year, which sucked, because I was on TikTok for all of it. That being said, it doesn't take away from the listening experience of their first EP, Homesick. This, being my favourite song off of it, is a refreshing take on NYC Soulpop without being too poppy. I am outing myself as Lawrence fan (though the newest LP isn't my favourite). This song just gives great Randy Newman vibes, and is a good sing-along song to me. It's hard to describe, but it's just good.

Pocket - Louie Zong, Brian David Gilbert, Jeff Liu - #100

Finally, a little bluesy jazz moment from my two favourite internet microcelebs and an incredible instrumentalist. It's a great song to just lose yourself in and sing like you're in a hazy blues bar, and past the deeply metaphorical lyrics, the instrumental break in the middle is just a fun time.

I hope this is adequate enough description without being verbose! My only wish would be that there was more Persona on my wrapped but unfortunately that is the curse of dropping an album at the end of the year... :(

Elektro-Swing - ein neuer Sound

Elektro-Swing-Funk  /  ein neuer Sound Man wird alt, inspiriert seine Eltern, bei mir war es meine Muddel, die sich durch mich Joe Cocker reinzog und dann sogar ein Album kaufte. Meine großgezogenen Kinder inspirieren jetzt mich. Was gibt es für tolle Musiker. Frauen und Männer sind hochausgebildet, spielen wie die Götter und haben dank YouTube eine Plattform gefunden, um sich zu zeigen. Da kommen Bands aus dem Nichts und sind nach wenigen Jahren die neuen Zugpferde. Den neuen Sound verfolge ich seit ein paar Jahren. 2017 war ich bei Snarky Puppy im Huxley. Im März 2023 bei Lawrence im Columbia-Theater. Morgen Abend geht es in den Gretchenklub zu Scary Pocket. Ein paar alte Rocker mischen sich unter die jungen Leute, für die Englisch heute fast schon die Muttersprache ist. Wir freuen uns schon darauf. Hier können die Alten von den jungen Leuten lernen.

jamesthenerdd: STAYCATION : AFTER THE SHOW

Last night was emotional to say the least, I go to see @ lawrencetheband and MANY others perform the final night of Staycation, and I end up meeting Darren Criss and hanging out with Clyde and some of the band at a bar, along with some of the amazing friends I’ve made because of them.

During day 3 we were brought into sound check, and there I noticed they had a guest on stage, and I stopped functioning, my hands and feet went totally numb and I could barely breathe. It was Darren Criss. One of my biggest influences growing up.

Darren quickly finished up and left, but my tears continued and they didn’t stop for a long time. The sweetheart @ gracie is, she stopped a few times in between to make sure I was okay. I explained it to her, and she said she’d tell Darren. The other fans in there were so supportive and happy for me , seeing how emotional just seeing him in person made me.

Later in the show , he came out and I held up my phone that said “Glee / You saved my life“ and he saw it at the end. And he was so sweet about it . Gave me a lil signal of happiness and appreciation.

After the show I waited outside to try to meet him. But after 2 hours we were convinced he left out the other side, and only the crew and band was still there. Then, another hour later the last person yet to come out was Gracie, and who else walked out with her , other than DARREN!!!

He immediately recognized me and came up to me with his arms wide open, We had a quick conversation not to hold Gracie up too much but he was so sweet and it was everything I could ever imagine. He gave me a big hug and took a few minutes to talk, before joining Gracie.

I left to go home, I got everything I needed from the night, or so I thought. I was halfway done with my Uber when I got a dm with the address to the band’s after party.

Now the post is full circle.

Thank you Clyde and Gracie and the whole team for a fantastic weekend I will never forget. I love you guys IMMENSELY. I’m so proud of you going from YouTube covers to selling out 3 days of an event this extravagant.

Cant wait for the next one
