On repeat playlist game

Go to your ‘On repeat’ playlist on Spotify (or a playlist you listen to frequently) and press “shuffle” 10 times— list the songs you get!

tagged by @maythedreadwolftakeyou and tagging the latest folks to like my recent reblogs/posts (no pressure, you don't have to play): @cipherninethousand @oleandersone @ixalia @lhunuial @daraasum @rubensmuse @bittersweet-lily @wynesthesia

So…I don't use Spotify and I don't think YouTube Music (which I use because I can upload all my owned music to it) has something like an On Repeat playlist.

However, I do use Last.fm to track my listening habits and so the top tracks I have listened to for the last 30 days are:

Hellfire - FEVER 333 Ma meilleure ennemie - Stromae & Pomme Fantastic - King Princess 这样很好 (Isha’s Song) - Eason Chan Come Play - Stray Kids, Young Miko & Tom Morello Heavy Is The Crown - Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong APT. - ROSÉ & Bruno Mars Blood Sweat & Tears - Sheryl Lee Ralph Walkin on Water - Stray Kids Wasteland - Royal & the Serpent

But all this does is pull from my latest commuting playlist (usually only about 20-25 songs) and/or album I have on repeat.

I guess I have been listening to that Arcane soundtrack a lot (all but two of these songs are from it).

So for pure random fun, I hit the shuffle on my YouTube Music uploads library, and here are the top 20 it returned. Given that most of the workday, I listen to a random selection from my 10K+ uploaded library, this is pretty typical.

Ba-na-na Skit - M.I.A. Geology - The Knife Ha Ha - Scarehead Grip - Pixx Has Anybody Seen My Girl? - Milla Jovovich Roxanne's Revenge - Roxanne Shante Trippin' on Lunar 07 - 101 Strings Orchestra You Can Run But You Can't Hide - Age of Chance Tangent - Beth Orton Ich Bin Ein Auslander (Fun-da-mental Instrumental Mix) - Pop Will Eat Itself The Entertainment - YACHT Me and You - She and Him Jenni - Big Thief Spectre - Radiohead Atom Bomb (Atomix 1) - Fluke Star - Elysian Fields Neighbors - Charles Barkley Mirage - Ladytron Tiny Vessels - Death Cab for Cutie Crossing Over - Camper Van Beethoven

short version | long version | spotify wrapped

short version is the link to what you see here, my helpfully abridged version. long version will lead you to the 153 song, 9 hour and 7 minute supercut playlist which i’ve been slowly cultivating since early january. spotify wrapped will lead you to a mixture of the long and the short version, which is honestly pretty accurate but does not helpfully represent my ear worms of the week.

under the cut are the lyrics that really resonated with me, some glimpses of my life and what these meant to me, and uh, at least a moderate amount of anger and doom and gloom.

i. dear arkansas daughter || lady lamb i kneel down in the sea to the ocean floor, i will sink like a steel chest full of weapons and on the spine of the tide you will rise like a red ripe, red ripe apple

This was one of the earliest earworms from early January, so I don't particularly remember where I first heard it. It may have been Tiktok? I vaguely remember something about an up and coming album and it MAY have been this one. Either way, catchy and lovely. ii. goodbye || bo burnham am i going crazy? would i even know? am i right back where i started fourteen years ago?

Oh, okay, so I guess we're talking about this now. I expected to get further than the second song on this playlist before I talked about crippling depression and dread, but hey, there it is. It's very hard, as an american in december of 2024, to remember that there was a time before november. that in fact, most of the year was actually good. things happened to me this year. we bought a house. a HOUSE! our very good friend got married! two of our friends are expecting! february (which is when this song really seeped into me) and march were both very bad months for me, but then i coasted through spring and summer on a wave of hope, of joy.

but those lyrics - am i right back where i started fourteen years ago - feels very relevant to me right now. cycle after cycle of pain and fear. being tired of fighting. of constantly being sad and angry and so very scared. it seems so small, being on the cusp of 2025, and being scared for OUR future when so many others have it worse. this year was a constant spin cycle of hurt and pain and fear and joy and hope and back round again. ukraine still dealing with russia. palestine. election season ups and downs. brat summer, as they say, when for a moment, just a moment, we all had hope. i'm tired. i feel like we're going backwards. and i feel like i'm going crazy. but honestly? would i even know?

iii. you will be okay || sam haft and when creation goes to die you can find me in the sky upon the last day and you will be okay

Funny thing. I actually discovered this song back in February (during the aforementioned dark days) before Hazbin Hotel put Helluva Boss on my radar. I needed an anxiety playlist and this was on one of the ones I was listening to and it just resonated. iv. murder on the dancefloor || sophie ellis-bextor it's murder on the dancefloor but you better not kill the groove, DJ gonna burn this goddamn house right down Saltburn was uh, a thing. I watched it. It was something. However, this effing song was so insanely catchy that it has dogged me through the whole year. And yes, it is incredibly fun to dance around the house to, though I did NOT try to do it naked.

v. nothing you can take from me || rachel zegler, the covey band you can't take my past you can't take my history I still have not watched The Ballad of Snakes and Songbirds. BUT I have listened to this song A LOT. vi. bad idea right? || olivia rodrigo seein' you tonight, it's a bad idea, right? seein' you tonight, it's a bad idea, right? seein' you tonight, fuck it, it's fine

Her music is so effing catchy. SO catchy. vii. red flag || billy talent cast off the crutch that kills the pain the red flag wavin' never meant the same the kids of tomorrow don't need today when they live in the sins of yesterday

I THINK that this song was on a fic playlist for the mindblowing Westworld Steddie AU that I read earlier in the year. viii. sign of the times || harry styles just stop your crying have the time of your life breaking through the atmosphere and things are pretty good from here I was never a one direction fan, but this song made it's rounds on tiktok and I just. I don't know. There was one silly little thing that I did on tiktok to this song a week out from marrying Nick last year and it's just stuck with me ever since. ix. all-american bitch || olivia rodrigo i'm a perfect all-American bitch with perfect all-American lips and perfect all-American hips i know my place, i know my place, and this is it

You know the part of this song where she's just fucking screaming and then puts on the pretty little smile and the pretty little sing-songy voice? That is what the last few months has felt like. x. troubadour || perceval *instrumental*

Another one that made it's rounds on tiktok and caught me by the throat.

xi. hayloft ii || mother mother an eye for an eye, a leg for a leg a shot in the heart doesn't make it unbreak

It's Mother Mother? Do I need to have any other reason? xii. poison || blake roman, sam haft, andrew underberg poison, i'm drownin' in poison i'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow full of poison, i'm sick of the poison wish i had something to live for tomorrow…

If this list was HONEST it would probably just be this entire soundtrack on loop fifty times, because guys, Hazbin Hotel GOT me this year. It got me bad. I made myself pick two songs from the soundtrack and I'm still not confident that I picked the right ones.

xiii. hell's greatest dad || hazbin hotel cast i'm truly honored that we've built such a bond (aw) you're like the child that I wish that I had (uh, what?) i care for you, just like a daughter i spawned (hold on now!) it's a little funny, you could almost call me daaaaad The second song from Hazbin Hotel, chosen because, well. It's my two favorite characters. xiv. what a life || scarlet pleasure what a life, what a night what a beautiful, beautiful ride don't know where I'm in five but I'm young and alive fuck what they are saying, what a life

This song is from the soundtrack of a movie starring Mads Mikkelson. I have NOT watched it, but the song itself came onto my radar during the spring/summer era where I was actually happy and made me feel things. xv. shadow || livingston don't you let them take control don't you let them break your soul it's not the devil at your door it's just your shadow on the floor

Still think it's tragic that this song wasn't on the Arcane season two sountrack. Very Arcane-coded. xvi. end of beginning || djo and when i'm back in Chicago, i feel it another version of me, i was in it i wave goodbye to the end of beginning One, this song would have had me the moment it made it to tiktok REGARDLESS of who djo is. Two though, is it completely shocking that the year that I am absolutely obsessed with Stranger Things this becomes one of my favorites? No? This song is so fucking sad, but it's synthy little bits just make me so happy.

xvii. gloom || djo so goodbye farewell go fuck your mother go fuck yourself

Actual favorite djo song.

xviii. revolution || bishop briggs welcome to my revolution got the storm clouds coming you won't see me running

Hmm.

xix. thank you and goodnight || black gryph0n but it's not goodbye forever 'cause we're all down here together and we hope we get to see you when you die

The fact that the original pilot cast made this ACTUALLY stings a little. But god, it's such a banger. Thank you and goodnight indeed.

xx. never be lonely || cascada, jax jones who'd have thought we'd make it? look at where we are is this what dreams are made of? Cascada, in 2024? It's more likely than you think.

xxi. too sweet || hozier i think i'll take my whiskey neat my coffee black and my bed at three you're too sweet for me So, I SAW Hozier this year. One of his stops on the Unreal Unearth tour was Ohio so I bought some GOOD seats because after Florence and MCR, he is my last bucket list artist, and my GOD. He is absolutely lovely, for one. He sung happy birthday to one of his crew members. He thanks you every other song. His hair is full of secrets. He sang every song I wanted him to and more. An entire stadium singing Take Me to Church was fucking magical. I have never come closer to going deaf than I did that night, purely from the shrieking fans. And when he told everyone that THIS song, which is on his Unheard album, which we ALMOST DIDN'T GET AT ALL, was his first Top 100. There were AUDIBLE gasps. AUDIBLE.

xxii. ...well, better than the alternative || will wood baby, could you play along with me baby, would that be alright with you and when we find out what's wrong with me could you tell me how I'm right for you

THIS was on a Gerard Keay playlist. I love the whole playlist, but this was my favorite. xxiii. another day of sun || la la land 'cause maybe in that sleepy town he'll sit one day, the lights are down he'll see my face and think of how he used to know me

God, listening to some of these songs and remembering when I had actual joy is really hard.

xxiv. good luck, babe! || chappell roan when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night with your head in your hands, you're nothing more than his wife and when you think about me, all of those years ago you're standing face to face with "i told you so" you know i hate to say, "i told you so" you know i hate to say, but, i told you so

I was GENUINELY upset that this song was number 6 on my spotify wrapped, because other than Hazbin, Chappell Roan defined my music tastes this year. And THIS PART, THIS PART, goes so FUCKING HARD. xxv. astoria || marianas trench oh yeah, i'll say whatever doesn't make me stronger kills me but it's gonna be a long year

Another band we were supposed to see this year, we were going to make the drive up to Cleveland in October (I think? it may have been August) but we ended up getting sick right before the concert and had to miss it. I was really sad about it. This song was amazing though! xxvi. can can (hardstyle mix) || da tweekas, high level*instrumental* I challenge you NOT to feel things when this is playing loudly. xxvii. lunch || billie eilish i could eat that girl for lunch yeah, she dances on my tongue tastes like she might be the one

I did not have Billie Eilish singing a song about cunnilingus on my bingo card for this year, but girl, this was a fuckin banger.

xxviii. smalltown boy || bronski beat run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away I just like the vibes. xxix. i drove all night || celine dion i taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide this fever for you is just burning me up inside

Hearing this felt very similar to the feeling that I felt when I found out that Cher did an entire Abba album. I just missed her voice. xxx. pink pony girl || chappell roan I thank my wicked dreams a year from Tennessee Oh, Santa Monica, you've been too good to me Won't make my mama proud, it's gonna cause a scene She sees her baby girl, I know she's gonna scream

Look I can match her pitch perfectly in this song, so singing it in the car was an absolutely delight this year. xxxi. joyride || kesha Oh, you say you love me? (That's funny) Well, so do I

Kesha! KESHA! In 2024! I am so happy for her. xxxii. like a prayer (choir version) — i'll take you there choir Life is a mystery Everyone must stand alone I hear you call my name And it feels like home I was obsessed with this song LONG before I actually watched the Deadpool & Wolverine movie. I love choral covers in general, but oh my god, there were SO MANY good edits to this! SO MANY. Also, I'm sorry, but the fact that christians are singing this in megachurches right now have me rolling. xxxiii. please please please (epic cover) || morgan clae Please, please, please don't prove I'm right And please, please, please Don't bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice I'm sorry, but I am OBSESSED with this cover. It's better than the original, I'm sorry Sabrina, I just really like big broadway numbers and this scratches the itch.

xxxiv. the ballad of the witches' road || agatha all along cast Marching ever forward 'Neath the wooded shrine I stray not from the path I hold death's hand in mine

Agatha All Along. It was a thing. I fell head over heels for every version of this song. Hearing Patti Lupone again was a delight and while I love every single character and every episode (well, most), HER episode was a goddamn fucking masterpiece. Sorry, but the two last episodes after that were a bit of a letdown considering. xxxv. abasement tapes || johnny dynamite and the bloodsuckers We don't gotta cry no more We don't gotta care at all We never gotta wake up

Nothing deep about this one, I just love it. xxxvi. dying days || graveyard club The moments go quick The hours are fading to dying days The thought makes me sick— The feeling I’ve wasted this life away

This came on a random playlist when I was driving somewhere and I IMMEDIATELY loved the dreamy vibes. That synth! xxxvii. the lighthouse || stevie nicks I wanna teach 'em to fight I wanna tell 'em This has happened before Don't let it happen again The fact that STEVIE NICKS wrote a song about this election, about the fact that our rights are getting taken away and how we need to stand up and fight, and so many people still didn't fucking vote just kills me. I'm tired. I'm SO fucking tired. The next few years are going to be so fucking horrible. I guess my only consolation is the fact that his base are starting to realize they fucked up. Too little too fucking late. xxxviii. disease || lady gaga There are no more tears to cry I heard you beggin' for life (go) Runnin' out of medicine (go) You're worse than you've ever been (go)

At least we got this banger out of it.

xxxix. wolf in sheep's clothing [REBORN] || set it off Who am I kidding? Now, let's not get overzealous here You've always been a huge piece of shit If I could kill you, I would, but it's frowned upon in all 50 states Having said that, burn in Hell! The anger in this song REALLY resonated. xl. heavy is the crown || mike shinoda, emily armstrong This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down

Arcane was a thing. Arcane and Dragon Age are basically the only things that have kept me a fully-formed human for the last few months.

xli. unsweetened lemonade — amelie farren I fucked the reaper cause I knew My time was coming can't you see I was either gonna die At 12 or 90-fucking-3 It's just a fucking banger, okay. xlii. labour- the cacophony || paris paloma Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired

There's that fucking anger again.

xliii. no one mourns the wicked || wicked movie cast Goodness knows The wicked die alone She died alone

Even if I'd despised the movie (I didn't - I loved it), watching it would have been fucking worth it for the look in her eye, the sound of her voice, when she sang this part. xliv. 這樣很好 (Isha’s Song) || eason chan 吹散乌云 用一抹蓝色 那就算 世界满是荒芜 ��们抬头就能 看见月亮

I am NOT going to say words about this because I honestly just cannot. I CANNOT. I am literally crying just listening to this again. xlv. ma meilleure ennemie || stronae, pomme Tu sais c'qu'on dit "Soit près d'tes amis les plus chers" Mais aussi "Encore plus près d'tes adversaires" I was fairly ambivalent about this one when i first heard it. There were A LOT of good songs on the Arcane s2 soundtrack (though imo, season one sountrack was still better). Anyway, this grew on me. xlvi. abstract (psychopomp) || hozier All my love and terror Balanced there between those eyes See how it shines

Again, saw Hozier this year. I expected to cry the whole concert, because that's what I do when I'm overwhelmed by music. I did tear up a bit here and there during my favorites, particularly the older songs. But THIS SONG. I'd never heard this song. I put my phone down. Camera away. I listened. This song is about a moment in his life where they experienced an animal getting hit by a car. It's literally a song about roadkill. But it's also so much more, because GOD, how it shines. Listen to this song, please. xlvii. roll the credits || danielle ponder Hold my head and saw the whole sky I never felt so damn alive And if there's smoke, then I'll be water If there's fire, I'll be rain

This is the song that plays during the end credits of Dragon Age Veilguard. Much like other Dragon Age credit songs, it feels almost dizzyingly not appropriate in context. But it's beautiful. And I was crying. Fuck this game.

xlviii. down by the river || borislav slavov Take my hand and hold it tight 'Cause you and I are everywhere The night is young We're goin' down, down, down by the river (by the river, by the river)

I still have not beaten this fucking game. It HAUNTS me. xlix. the line || twenty one pilots Please don't let them see me Sure there's nothing left to try I can feel the light shine on my face Did I disappoint you?

Do me a favor. Don't listen to the version of this on my playlist. Listen to this live version from the game awards (minding the fact that there are Arcane spoilers playing on the screen behind the stage). Listen to his fucking voice when he screams this part. Listen to the pain. And then go look at the MANY tiktok edits of this part of the song to Arcane snippets. I'll wait. l. all eyes on me || bo burnham You say the ocean's rising like I give a shit You say the whole world's ending, honey, it already did You're not gonna slow it, Heaven knows you tried Got it? Good, now get inside

Mic drop to this year. Let's see if I survive the next one.

[aimless-pilgrims-silva-rerum]

Telefortepian-12 Listopad 2024 Ten miesiąc można zaliczyć do udanych. Przynajmniej dla mnie i przynajmniej jeżeli chodzi o muzykę. Jakoś nie śledzę nowości wydawniczych i moja "edukacja muzyczna" jest na poziomie: "o coś fajnego, może posłucham", to czasami przedziera się na mój horyzont mainstream. W tym miesiącu wyszły cztery płyty, których nie mogłem opuścić, choć czekałem tylko na jedną:

Linkin Park - Casualty

Linkin Park - Overflow O nowym krążku Linkin Park zatytułowanym "From Zero" już wspominałem. W pojawiły się pierwsze single, które bardzo cenię. Jestem bardzo zadowolony, że nie jest to wtopa zespołu, a jeden z bardziej dopracowanych projektów. Emily Armstrong ze swoim mocnym wokalem dobrze przejęła rolę Chestera. Oczywiście nic nie zastąpi wspomnianej legendy, ale miło po siedmiu latach usłyszeć coś od swojego ulubionego bandu. Sam krążek jest przesiąknięty stylem wczesnego LP z lekkimi eksperymentami. Na przykład na "Casualty" Shinoda ma ciekawy zdarty, punkowy głos, który dodaje taką szczyptę "nieokrzesania". Następny w trackliście utwór, czyli "Overflow" jest lżejszy, ale równie ciekawy. W skrócie, mi się podobał

Kaśka Sochacka - Ctrl+Alt+Del Po tej dawce mocniejszych dźwięków zaproponuję coś lżejszego, a mianowicie drugiego długograja Kaśki Sochackiej "Ta druga". W radiu katowany bardzo mocno jest drugi singiel "Szum", który mi się bardzo podoba. Mnie odwiedził najwcześniej jej pierwszy singiel "Madison". Oczywiście chodzi mi o wspomniany album, bo twórczość artystki znałem jeszcze z debiutanckiego krążka. Najnowsze wydawnictwo jest wypełniona tęskną miłością i spokojnymi melancholijnymi brzmieniami. Jako propozycję podaję ostatni utwór z tej playlisty.

SadSvit - Горизонти (feat. Do Sliz)

SadSvit - Не моє місто Wojna na Ukrainie trwa już ponad tysiąc dni. Z coraz większym niepokojem obserwuję, co się dzieje na arenie geopolitycznej. No cóż, nam jedynie czekać jak to wszystko się rozwinie. O twórczości Rozvadovskiego już wspomniałem, podobnie jak o tym, że z początkiem wspomnianego konfliktu, jego "Cassette" uruchomiło mu karierę. W tym miesiącu wypuścił "Цвіт магнолії", który choć mniej "doomerski", to nadal nostalgiczny, oraz na najwyższym poziomie. Wyżej podrzucam dwa single "Horyzonty" oraz "Nie moje miasto".

Kendrick Lamar - wacced out murals Tylko najlepsi mogą wrzucić bez zapowiedzi album i spowodować, by całe środowisko o nim mówiło. Jeden z najlepszych, jak nie najlepszy, amerykański raper pokazał jak to się robi. O Kendricku już wspominałem, kiedy wrzucił cztery utwory krytykujące Drake-a. To było w kwietniu, a "krytyka" jest tu niedomówieniem. Album "GNX" jest rozwinięciem stylistyki otwartej tam - prostej ale efektywnej. Sam K.Dot dowozi wersy nasiąknięte czarnoskórą kulturą ameryki, oraz wewnętrznymi rozgrywkami środowiska hip-hopowego. Jednak słuchając w oderwaniu od kontekstu, który dla nas jest jednak dość odległy, słucha się tego równie dobrze. Surowy, ale efektowny rap i proste (ale nie prostackie) beaty bardzo przydają energii. Dla fanów gatunku prawdziwa gratka. Na koniec ciekawostka - tytuł to jest model samochodu. Produkowany tylko przez rok (akurat rok urodzenia artysty), tylko w czarnym kolorze, oraz jako ostatni model w najstarszej fabryce General Motors. Każdy może odczytać tą symbolikę jak chce.

The Wombats - Blood On The Hospital Floor Sekcja dotycząca nowych wydanych albumów się skończyła, ale mam jeszcze dwie propozycje dotyczące tych nadchodzących. Pierwszym z nich jest ten zapowiadający krążek "Oh! The Ocean" Liverpoolskiego zespołu "The Wombats". Ten ma wyjść w lutym następnego roku. Band założony został w 2003 roku, a grają indie rock, britpop. Powyższa propozycja, energiczna i wesoła, jest chyba najlepszym przykładem ich twórczości.

Antonín Dvořák - New World Symphony Wiem, że muzyka klasyczna nie ma dobrej reputacji. W najlepszym przypadku się o niej nie mówi, w najgorszym dyskredytuje jako muzykę dla snobów i megaloman. A szkoda, bo wiele z tych dzieł nie musi kojarzyć się z jakimiś "wyższymi sferami", można uruchomić je kiedy bądź. Dawno nie słuchałem niczego od słynnych starych kompozytorów, aż pojawił się pewien Czech i powiedział ahoj. Antonin Dvořák (czyt. Dworzak) jest przedstawicielem czeskiego romantyzmu i wraz z Bedřichem Smetaną ma w kraju status jak u nas Chopin i Moniuszko. Tutaj podsyłam jego najsłynniejsze dzieło - symfonię "Z Nowego Świata", która jest bardzo dynamiczna i posiada genialne fragmenty.

Mela Koteluk & Kwadrofonik - Drzewa "Drzewa to chmur zgęszczenia". Tak dekady temu, podczas II Wojny Światowej zaczął jeden ze swoich wierszy Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński. Przyrównując drzewa do partyzantów, drwali do oprawców (często wycinano lasy, w których partyzanci się ukrywali), a kule armatnie do "planet z brązu lanych". Obecnie często czytany jako utwór o wymowie ekologicznej, choć jestem pewny, że nie taki był pierwotny zamiar Baczyńskiego. Parę lat temu bardzo dobrze zajęła się nim Mela Koteluk, której twórczość znam od dekady. Jest to część krążka “Astronomia poety. Baczyński”, który wyszedł z okazji 76. rocznicy Wybuchu Powstania Warszawskiego.

Kirszenbaum - Ciężkoduch "Kirszenbaum jest jak Wyspiański na mefedronie". Tak mówi o sobie krakowski duet grający od 2017. Muzyka jest bardzo zróżnicowana, mająca swój własny klimat. Natrafili na mój radar przypadkowo, z polecanych na YouTube. Piosenka "Ciężkoduch" jest pierwszym singlem do ich nadchodzącego albumu "Rave macabre". Solo smyczkowe jest pełne ognia, refren jest wręcz powtarzaną mantrą wchodzącą do głowy. Ogólnie dość ciekawe doświadczenie dla uszu.

Bleu Berline - J'te promets Ostatnią propozycją będzie ta z Francji. Dawno nie wrzucałem jakiegoś spokojnego kawałka z tamtych regionów, a właśnie na mojej playliście przypadkowo trafił jeden taki. O wokalistce, co przyjęła pseudonim za nazwą barwnika, niewiele mogę znaleźć. Tylko na Spotify, że pierwszy singiel tam znajdujący się jest z 2020. Musi więc to być dość świeża kariera. Nie przeszkadza mi jednak cieszyć się z przesłuchiwania tej twórczości.

Tutaj pozwolę sobie na drobną sekcję wspomnienia utworów od artystów, którzy się już pojawili na łamach tego miesięcznika. Albo po prostu takich, o których nie mam za wiele do powiedzenia.

Kwiat Jabłoni - Burza - Kwiat Jabłoni środkiem października wrzucił nowy singiel, nie wiem dlaczego nie podrzuciłem go w poprzednim tekście, ale nadrabiam to tutaj.

Chalkeaters - Cheeki Breeki: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 song - feat. Lenich & Kirya - Chalkeaters był w październikowej notce. Dziś z żartobliwym utworem o nowowydanym sequelu do słynnej post apokaliptycznej gry.

Franz Ferdinand - Night Or Day - O szkockim zespole Franz Ferdinand już pisałem w sierpniu. Wrzucili dwa single promujące ich nadchodzący w styczniu album "The Human Fear". Podsyłam wyżej drugi z zapowiedzi

Daria Zawiałow - Ballada o Niej - Choć album "Dziewczyna Pop" jest z nami już rok, choć już o Darii pisałem, to właśnie natrafiłem na nowy teledysk. To dobra okazja, by powrócić do tych dźwięków i jeszcze raz się nimi wzruszyć.

savannahXYZ - the current state of search engines - drobny kanał, który głównie zajmuje się modelowaniem 3D, ale również ma parę piosenek, czy coverów. Ten porusza istotny dla mnie temat, czyli to jak zepsuła się wyszukiwarka Google.

Choć mam jeszcze parę propozycji, pomysłów, czy ogólnie - utworów słuchanych przeze mnie, to jednak wydaje mi się, że te najważniejsze znalazły się w dzisiejszym poście. Pozostałe mogę dodam do kolejnej składanki, ale na dzisiaj to już wszystko. Do następnego.

Ontem eu e o G** fomos a um aniversário. Nossa amiga ganhou 20 vale chopp e eu mesmo sem gostar de cerveja tomei 2 só porque foi de graça. Aí tomei mais dois chopp de vinho e um moscow mule. Confesso que nem sei como fiquei bem a noite toda apesar de tanto álcool depois de 2 anos sem beber direito por conta de um PT muito feio que dei. Fui parar na UPA de ambulância toda vomitada e mijada.

Me diverti bastante, mas teve uma hora que eu fiquei muito sobrecarregada porque a namorada de um amigo não parava de falar comigo. Eu já tava dissociando a cada 20 segundos com tanta informação. O G** ficou preocupado se eu ia gorfar ou passar mal por causa da bebida, tava de olho em mim, kkkkk. Mas deu tudo certo!!

Aí hoje terminamos o primeiro arco de Arcane. Achei muito linda a animação, sem defeitos!! Eu sou meio nova no lol, então não sei nada de lore do jogo. Dá pra dizer que comecei a jogar em 2022. Mas gostei bastante da série desde a primeira temporada. A trilha sonora tá foda, tirando a música nova de Linkin Park. Comecei a xingar na hora que tocou na série, o G** ficou discutindo comigo que o projeto LP é do Shinoda e ablbuelubluble e mandei ele tomar no cu porque essa banda significa muito pra mim, nada apaga meu amado Chester.

Fiquei meio triste com as cenas da Jinx e da Vi, mas não darei spoilers!

Mais cedo, planejamos o que vamos fazer na nossa viagem para SP. Achei um lugar muito legal para comer. Tem umas carnes exóticas de tubarão e javali, você monta seu prato cru e o chef prepara. Dá para se servir quantas vezes você quiser e não achei tão caro. Não vejo a hora de chegar sexta!! Queria só dar skip nessa semana até lá porque marquei uns casos que demandam muito do meu cérebro amanhã, no mesmo dia. Já tô com preguiça.

Poliedricità

Mi piace la poliedricità nelle persone e nelle cose, in qualsiasi contesto, in qualsiasi settore, reale o immaginario

Molti dei miei idoli o delle persone e figure e personaggi che apprezzo particolarmente, hanno quel tocco di poliedricità

Che sia un calciatore come Müller o Darmian che riesce ad adattarsi a qualsiasi ruolo in campo in attacco o in difesa risultando sempre efficiente

Che sia un musicista come Dave Grohl o Mike Shinoda che sa suonare qualsiasi strumento e cantare stili di canzoni molto diversi tra loro

Che sia un personaggio dei fumetti come Batman che pur essendo un super eroe senza super poteri, ha sempre grandi capacità e risorse e inventiva per ogni situazione

Oppure che sia una canzone, o un altro media da guardare, che ha tanti stili, affronta tanti temi, si evolve nel tempo, cambia tono più volte, pur rimanendo una singola opera

Spesso e volentieri le mie persone, cose o personaggi preferiti sono proprio questi, dotati di una certa poliedricità

In sostanza credo che il mondo abbia bisogno di maggiore poliedricità, anche se ognuno di noi eccelle particolarmente in una singola specifica cosa, ma dovremmo attenzionare maggiormente chi o cosa cerca di applicarsi su più lati, su più sfumature e riesce a produrre un ottimo risultato, perché l'umanità in fondo è molto complessa e pluricapace, dovremmo tutti sforzarci di dare il massimo su più fronti.

"She's not there to replace Chester. She's there to revive LP".

Vários comentários insistem em estabelecer que os fãs de Linkin Park eram, na verdade, fãs do Chester. Que grande absurdo.

Para quem ouvir os três primeiros álbuns em sequência na história da banda sabe muito bem que a banda é um grupo coeso de escrita conjunta e respeito mutuo. Não só isso, mas no mainstream era simplesmente óbvio que o grande Mike Shinoda (também vocalista da Fort Minor, outro sucesso cultural incrível) representava uma figura insubstituível na banda. Se Linkin Park não é Linkin Park sem Chester Bennington, o mesmo pode ser dito sobre Mike Shinoda.

Linkin Park se introduziu em nossas vidas junto da frustração, raiva e melancolia da geração Millenial em se deparar com o capitalismo tardio. Na minha infância e adolescência, LP foi o primeiro contato que tive na cultura que me trouxe acolhimento quanto à sensação de "dormência" em Numb, tanto quanto me identifico hoje ao escutar novalmente Easier to Run na vida adulta. Não é coincidência que o frontman não oficial da banda acabou nos deixando em meio a tanta desgraça.

Armstrong vem com uma proposta diferente, junto do restante da banda. Ela é apresentada no clipe com uma introdução do próprio Shinoda e traz a sensação de "aqui estamos nós, vivos e lutando". É uma sensação que segue a trajetória da banda que lutou desde os anos 2000 mil em estar sempre se redescobrindo. É um refresco ver que podemos ouvir Linkin Park com força e com vida, dizendo que não vamos nos curvar e que vamos cravar os dois pés no chão.

A chegada da Emily me faz querer comemorar a história de Linkin Park e a vida do Chester. Ficar feliz com a força até agora mantida pelo Mike e os demais membros. É uma celebração de tudo que significa e significou a banda.

Emily é o luto que precisávamos todos esses anos para poder continuar ouvindo a banda com uma nova perspectiva, um novo significado.

Ela não veio para substituir o Chester. Ela veio para reviver o Linkin park.

BRUXA É UMA DELÍCIA E NÃO TEM NADA A VER COM AS GOSTOSURAS E TRAVESSURAS DO HALLOWEEN.

Por séculos se desqualificou a Bruxa e tudo que se refere a ela, mulher antiga, sábia, que conhecia sobre os ciclos de vida morte, ervas. A Santa Inquisição mandou para a fogueira durante a Idade Média 9 milhões de pessoas, 80% delas eram mulheres que pautavam a religiosidade no sol, na lua, nos movimentos das estrelas e planetas, nas água, nas árvores e por todo a natureza, e não com a igreja e os livros ditos sagrados. Eram bruxas.

Jean Shinoda Bolen nos ensina que ser bruxa é um privilégio e nos fala de fala das qualidades desse maravilhoso arquétipo do feminino.

1 - As bruxas não se queixam. Aceitam que o que foi, foi e não pode ser mudado e o que interessa é daqui para frente. Não quer dizer que não expressem dor, mas não se lamentam, não se veem nem agem como vítimas.

2- As bruxas são atrevidas, tem coragem de experimentar o novo, a buscar o não vivido, o não conhecido.

3- As bruxas têm mão para as plantas, concreta e metaforicamente. "Plantam, regam e acompanham o crescimento" de plantas, pessoas, projetos...

4 - As bruxas confiam nos pressentimentos, em sua intuição, honram sua sabedoria interna. 5 - As bruxas meditam à sua maneira, cultivam um centro interno de silêncio e escuta, de prece e reconexão com o Sagrado.

6 - As bruxas defendem com firmeza o que mais lhes importa, descobrem sua voz e tendem a tornar-se mais rebeldes e radicais com tudo que consideram errado no mundo.

7 - As bruxas decidem o seu caminho com o coração, mesmo que esse caminho seja difícil.

8- As bruxas dizem a verdade com compaixão, mas dizem sempre a verdade, porque sabem que só a verdade cura e liberta.

9 - As bruxas ouvem o seu corpo, não o vêem como um objeto a ser aperfeiçoado, mas como um instrumento de prazer e auto conhecimento.

10 - As bruxas improvisam, agem com espontaneidade, fluem com a vida.

11 - As bruxas não imploram, não fazem NADA com a finalidade de serem aceitas.

12 - As bruxas riem juntas, riem de si e com isso nutrem um profundo senso de irmandade, porque é um riso que expressa o triunfo do espírito e da alma. sobre aquilo que poderia tê-las destruído.

“Let it begin”.

Seoul, 15 de dezembro de 2015.

Meu começo é comum, e até calmo. Minha mãe decidiu que eu nasceria em um parto natural — coisa que ela se gaba até HOJE. Como a vida segue seu curso, eu nasci e cresci. Mas, boa parte do crescimento não foi na Coreia! Minhas mães (choquei você ?!) decidiram se mudar quando completei quatro anos. Primeiro São Francisco, e depois NYC — apesar das críticas a cidade, foi minha favorita! Quem não amaria essa gigante do coração mole?

Tive uma infância bonita, em um bairro calmo e tranquilo. Aliás, foi lá que conheci Ayana Daisy, minha melhor amiga. Nos tornamos inseparáveis aos 6. Nana adorava explorar, e eu não era muito desses. Mamãe Liv diz que nasci pras artes. Mas, adorava a companhia da minha melhor amiga desse mundo todo. Não somos parecidos, mas de alguma forma, a gente se dá bem.

Na adolescência, tive uma surpresa novinha em folha: Kira, minha irmãzinha que agora tem 7 anos! Nós chamamos ela de Kiki, e às vezes de biscoitinho — ela detesta esse, mas não ligo. Nunca fui um encantador de crianças, até tenho um leve medo delas, mas com a Kiki..as coisas foram diferentes. Ela era tão bochechuda quando nasceu...e agora tá aí, me fazendo as perguntas mais complicadas do mundo.

Ah sim, claro...como um garoto das artes, você deve imaginar que meu lance era tinta, milhares de instrumentos que tentei aprender e enjoei. Infelizmente, tenho dessas. Como estou sempre em constante movimento, eu acabo acelerando e depois abandono o carro. É até meio melancólico, mas estou tentando — e falhando — aprender a ser mais constante.

“Are you ready, Mrs. Yook?”

“I'm born ready”

NYC, [insira algum ano]

Eu e minha outra mãe, a Emma, gostamos de cantar Taylor no último volume! Não é por mal, a gente só gosta muito de pessoas desequilibradas e que dão entretenimento. E sim, mamãe é doida nessa loira. Já eu? Bom, depois eu te conto! Acredita que nem ia dizer tudo isso? Acontece...

Ah, sim, sim... Tenho duas mães! Olivia e Emma, e uma irmã, Kiara — ela veio depois, em Seoul também, as mamães fizeram questão que ela nascesse lá! Costumo dizer que minha mães fundaram a sociedade lésbica em Seoul, e vai ver isso tenha mesmo acontecido, vai saber. Elas sempre me deram tudo, e nem tô falando de bens materiais, tá? Do jeito delas, tentaram me proteger das piadinhas sobre meus olhos, e tudo o mais. Tente sobreviver no mundo norte americano e saberá!

Por falar em ter tudo, elas nem ligaram quando precisei de um tempo sabático até iniciar de fato a faculdade. Fala sério, o ensino médio foi uma loucura, eu não queria surtar de vez. Então, fui uma espécie de ajudante da mãe Liv. Ela tem uma lojinha de produtos esotéricos, lá é uma graça e sempre cheira a incenso de canela — não é um sonho? Ela até tentou me ensinar sobre tarot, mas meu lance foi desenhar e pintar um baralho a mão. O resultado ficou lindo, e foi assim que decidi: vou cursar artes plásticas. Mágico, né?

“Come a little closer, then you'll see.”

Desde sempre sou péssimos com declarações, e até me expressar de forma correta. Quer me entender? Veja um quadro que pintei, dê uma olhada nas canções que tento produzir com a minha guitarra; ou então, tente a sorte ao descobrir aonde escondo todos os meus textos e poemas. Realmente, sou um art boy.

Recentemente, iniciei a faculdade! NYU, quem diria?! Com certeza eu não. Lembro de quando eu e Ayana nos inscrevemos, foi uma tortura. Não tinha certeza se passaria, e isso me deixou inquieto. Posso exalar confiança, mas a verdade é que às vezes sou bem inseguro. Faz parte, não?

Por fim, para me conhecer ainda melhor, saiba que faço parte da população nerd-geek. Minha alma exala Star Wars, e um pouco de Halo — pra não perder o costume. Não perco uma comic con desde os 10 anos de idade, mas em compensação já perdi uma namorada pela comic con, aos 15. Prioridades!

“Go write your message on the pavement.”

Caso se pergunte, a vida anda quase a mesma. Faculdade, família, amigos. Eu e Ayana ainda seguimos juntos, mesmo com a vida corrida, sei que posso contar com ela. E posso ser sincero? Me dá paz. Há quem diga que passar tanto tempo com uma pessoa na vida, enjoe. Já eu, discordo.

No tempo livre eu, Ayana, Joshua e Morgana temos uma banda, a Sick Slip. E não é por nada, mas somos talentosos até demais — eu brilho na guitarra, preciso dizer. Sinto que nos momentos em que estamos nos palcos de festivais da universidade, ou nos pubs, é como se todo barulho do mundo externo fosse embora.

Quanto a mim? Bom.. não sei como posso me definir. A cada dia descubro coisas novas, sentimentos novos. Às vezes, sou confusão. Em outras, tento ser solução, mas sempre dá errado. Ninguém disse que seria fácil, não?

Antes de encerrar, preciso te contar um segredo! Sou o colunista secreto do blog da universidade. Lá, escrevo muito sobre a realidade ao meu redor. É um interessante. Quem sabe você não me leia por aí? Só shh.. não conte a ninguém.

Mon histoire avec la musique commence réellement en 2000, lorsque que ma maman m'offre mon premier album de Bon Jovi à l'époque MTV, Viva Polska, Onyx TV et toutes ces chaines du câble, passer en boucle le titre "It's My Life".

Cet album à fait de mon adolscence, une vie incroyable, j'adorais ce groupe, j'avais des poster des cartes postales. Puis la même année, je suis alors en 6ème et ma vision de la musique change avec 1 album Hybrid Theory de Linkin Park.

C'est eux qui m'ont amené à la scène métal que je connais aujourd'hui, cette album à tournée plus de 1millions fois dans mon poste, je connais les chansons par coeur, je chante beaucoup dans ma chambre les morceaux surtout le passage de Mike Shinoda qui est mon chouchou à l'époque.

Puis 2004 une rencontre va faire que ma vie à changé, il me fait découvrir cet album qui me grave et me parle d'un certain Jonathan Davis.

2004 KoЯn arrive dans ma vie et cette même personne ne me parle que de cet album Take A Look In The Mirror. Il adorait surtout ce titre "Break Some Off" pour la batterie incroyable, mais moi je l'aimais pour le cingle "Right Now" dont le clip était Gore à Souhait ! Et j'adorais ça !

Je naviguais, écouter ces groupes de cette fameuse personne ça passer entre du Slipknot, Fear Factory, Chevelle, Pleymo, Staind, Sum41, Rammstein ou encore Limp Bizkit.

Moi je faisais mon chemin, j'ai aimé ce groupe pendant des années au point même de m'appeler KoЯnette. À l'époque on pouvait trouver des livres très cours "Linkin Park de À à Z". Je l'avais trouvé aussi pour KoЯn et je découvre mon nouveau groupe qui va devenir celui que je vais suivre longtemps Adema. Le demi-frère de Jonathan Davis n'est qu'autre que le chanteur leader du groupe Adema. Et comme pour Linkin Park j'adorais chanter leurs morceaux et je m'imaginais dans leurs groupe (oui j'étais une ado fanatique).

Ce groupe était un culte, tous mon entourage le connaissent alors que clairement ils n'ont jamais réellement tournée en France.

2006 Je sors avec ce fameux garçon même si j'étais en mode "nan mais c'est trop un connard". Ce moment ça sera accompagné par du Pleymo. Putain de souvenir surtout avec le DVD, ces morceaux ou clairement la Batterie (son instrument fétiche, car il en jouait depuis ses 9ans) me souffle à chaque foi (Kubrick, Muck).

Mais 2006 sera aussi un drame, la vie est mal faite, et ce drame sera aussi accompagné de Pleymo "Qu'est-ce qui nous restera" "Un Parfum Nommé 16ans" tous ces chansons qui sont passées en boucle lorsque je n'allais pas bien. J'étais dans le dénis, j'ai oublié même ce qui se passer autour de moi, un vide qui ne laisser entrer aucune lumière, mais qui retsé à vivre avec lui pour toujours.

C'est alors qu'un jour en 2008 un ami nous parle d'un groupe de Toulouse du nom de Sidilarsen. Ce groupe à partagé 10 ans de notre vie avec une amie à moi, on les as suivis, bousillé nos Doc' Marteen sous le feux de leurs scènes.

Pendant cette periode des rencontres qui m'ont fait découvrir la musique electronique notament Noisia qui est pour moi l'un des meilleurs, créateur de musique electonique de leurs génération. (Ils ont même un duo avec KoЯn).

Ensuite je pars de ma ville natal, toujours les oreilles dans le dubstep. Et puis grace à des replays de concert des vieilles charues je me suis mise à écouté un groupe qui va être le tremplin de ma vie aujourd'hui... Of Monster And Men. Je fais écouter ça un covoitureur qui me dit, "leurs accent et surement Irlandais ou nordique". Je regarde leurs page Wikipédia et je vois islande. Mon copain lui avait voyager là bas une 15aine de jours et là je suis tombé amoureuse du pays, j'en parlais souvent diffusais des photos, parler du groupe etc et là !!! Vous le voyez venir !!

On m'envois ce moreau

Je suis d'abbord intriguée mais surtout très emballée par ces basses incroyable et ce grognement sans cesse. Mais qu'elle langue incroyable parle t'il anglais et là je vais voir les paroles "Við skerum á Augnaráð Nú stingur í Ofbirta"

Je tombe littéralement amoureuse du morceau, de la langue j'achète l'album.

Je vais ensuite à leurs concert ma vision de la musique à changé, ma consommation aussi, j'écoute différement et ce groupe à fait quelques choses d'uncroyable entre cet album et les précédents, des choses artistiques

Prochain article mon premier live de Sigur Rós <3

Happy Anniversary “Meteora”! (March 25, 2003)❤️

Meteora is the second studio album by American rock band Linkin Park. It was released on March 25, 2003 through Warner Bros. Records, following Reanimation, a collaboration album which featured remixes of songs included on their 2000 debut studio album Hybrid Theory. The album was produced by the band alongside Don Gilmore. The title Meteora is taken from the Greek Orthodox monasteries sharing the same name. Meteora has a similar sound to Hybrid Theory, as described by critics, and the album took almost a year to be recorded. It is the first Linkin Park studio album to feature Dave Farrell after he rejoined the band in 2000.

Meteora debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling over 810,000 copies in its first week. Linkin Park released singles from Meteora for over a year, including "Somewhere I Belong", "Faint", "Numb", "From the Inside", and "Breaking the Habit". The song "Lying from You" was released as a promotional single. Meteora received generally positive reviews, although critics noted that the album's musical style was similar to its predecessor Hybrid Theory .

Meteora has sold over 27 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. It is certified 7x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It was ranked number 36 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums of the 2000s. Some songs from the album were remixed with some of Jay-Z's songs for the EP Collision Course (2004). "Session" was nominated for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 46th Grammy Awards.

Initial writing for a second album dated back to early 2001, while still touring in support of Hybrid Theory. The band had written around eighty different demos during their Hybrid Theory World Tour and LP Underground Tour, within the span of just eight months. Rough song ideas written then would find its way to the final album; notably the intro for "Somewhere I Belong". Bennington recorded guitar notes for it, but found it too folk rock sounding. However, Shinoda and Joe Hahn reworked it, adding effects to it, and then played it backwards, molding it into something the band was happy with. As explained by Shinoda: "Since I reversed it, it was playing 4-3-2-1. The chord progression was reversed. Then I cut it into four pieces, and I played it 1-2-3-4. And that's why it has that sweeping sound.

In early 2002, after the touring, the writing continued in Mike's home studio, pre-production of the album began there. The band worked in pairs during the writing process, whereas Shinoda was always involved in all the songs. The recording of the songs mainly used Pro Tools, whereas the band used the traditional method of writing, in main studio. In June, pre-production terminated and the band headed for main production. The band finalized Don Gilmore as their producer. When Reanimation was released, the band had started to write the main content. Rob Bourdon spent eight hours a day in the studio for the recording of the album. By August, the band entered NRG Studios as Bennington also began writing songs with the band.

Linkin Park had finished versions of many songs before the actual recording process had begun, but they majorly wrote the finalized songs included in the track list in the studio. By October the drums were finalized and guitar parts were introduced by Brad in the control room of the studio. By the end of October, the bass parts were introduced. Don Gilmore himself being a bass player helped Farrell in his recording. The sampling part by Hahn was introduced just a month before the deadline, thereby Mike finished the recording of "Breaking the Habit" with strings arrangement by David Campbell; the song had been worked on by Shinoda for five or six years. The vocal production started in November. The mixing process as well as the album itself was finished in New York City.

Lyrically the album contains elements including depressing emotions, anger, and recovery. Explaining to MTV, Bennington said: "We don't talk about situations, we talk about the emotions behind the situations. Mike and I are two different people, so we can't sing about the same things, but we both know about frustration and anger and loneliness and love and happiness, and we can relate on that level." In the same interview, Shinoda explained it as: "What we really wanted to do was just push ourselves and push each other to really find new ways to be creative." He continued: "We wanted each sample that was in each song to be something that might perk your ear – something that you might not have ever heard before." In a promotional interview, Rob Bourdon stated: "We wanted a group of songs that would sit well together because we wanted to make a record that you could pop into your CD player and, from beginning to end, there would never be a spot where you start daydreaming." In titling the album, Mike said that "Meteora was a word that caught my attention because it sounded huge." Dave, Joe, and Chester elaborated that just like how Meteora, the rock formations in Greece, is very epic, dramatic, and has great energy, the band wanted the album to have that same feeling.

Genre-wise, the album is categorized as nu metal, rap metal, rap rock, and alternative rock.

The promotion for the album began well ahead before its release, as pictures of the band recording were distributed to the media. To support the album, there were many photo shoots of the band on October 29 at the Ambassador Hotel, where the band took a break from recording the album for two days, for designing the cover art of the album. "The Flem" and "Delta" helped the band for the art works, for the album as well as for the singles spawned by it. A TV commercial for the album was premiered on January 1, 2003. "Somewhere I Belong" was released as the first single, premiering on US radio on March 18, 2003. Being released only nine days before the album release, it influenced the album sales performance worldwide. The second single off the album was "Faint", released before the band started its world tour. The third single "Numb" was released when Linkin Park performed it live in Madrid. "From the Inside" was released as the fourth single off the album before the North American leg of the world tour. "Breaking the Habit" was released while the band was in Indonesia. The album was released with various limited edition content for promotional purposes.

There is a special edition of Meteora, which includes the "Making of Meteora" DVD documentary. The special-edition package was packaged in a blue tinted case with the blue Meteora cover that can be found in some parts of Asia, United States, and more commonly in India. An alternate Indian version contains an alternate DVD and alternative cover that is packaged in a slimline case with the disc in original packaging. The "Tour Edition" of Meteora is packaged in a two disc set. The second disc, which is a Video CD, has the music videos for "Somewhere I Belong", "Faint", "Numb", and "Breaking the Habit". The tour edition is packaged in a standard Compact Disc case, rather than their trademark digipak case. The album was also released on a very limited quantity of vinyl records (spread across two LPs) under Warner Brothers. These are coveted by collectors and fetch high prices at auction. In 2014, Linkin Park released a demo version of Shinoda singing the song, on their 14th annual fan club CD, LPU XIV. 

The band promoted the album with their Meteora World Tour and various other supporting tours. The world tour was supported by Hoobastank, P.O.D. and Story of the Year. The band played shows at Pellissier Building and Wiltern Theatre on the day before the album release and on the release date. The shows were called "'Meteora' Release Show". The European leg was cancelled because Chester was having severe back and abdominal pains. As a result, half of the music video of "Numb" was shot in Los Angeles and the Czech Republic. The album was also promoted by the Projekt Revolution festival. A live album was released in support of the album titled Live in Texas. Linkin Park played various special shows worldwide, including "Reading Ireland", as well as performing during the Kerrang! Awards, "Livid", "X-103's Not So Silent Night", "The End's Deck The Hall Ball" and "KROQ Almost Acoustic X-Mas", in promotion of the album.

Meteora received generally positive reviews, although critics noted that the album's musical style was similar to its predecessor, Hybrid Theory (2000). The overall Metacritic score is 62. E! Online rated it A, and expected it to "shoot straight for the stars". Entertainment Weekly described it as "radio-friendly perfection". Dot Music described it as a "guaranteed source of ubiquitous radio hits". Rolling Stone said the band "squeezed the last remaining life out of this nearly extinct formula". Billboard Magazine described Meteora as "a ready-made crowdpleaser". The New Musical Express said it had "massive commercial appeal" but left the reviewer "underwhelmed". 

AllMusic described the album as "nothing more and nothing less than a Hybrid Theory part 2.", but added that the band "has discipline and editing skills, keeping this record at a tight 36 minutes and 41 seconds, a move that makes it considerably more listenable than its peers... since they know where to focus their energy, something that many nu-metal bands simply do not." Sputnikmusic writer Damrod criticized the album as being too similar to Hybrid Theory, but praised the album's production quality and catchiness, stating "the songs just invade your brain".  

Blender described it as "harder, denser, uglier", while Q described it as "less an artistic endeavor than an exercise in target marketing." Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B+, calling it a "thunderously hooky album that seamlessly blends the group's disparate sonic elements into radio-friendly perfection".  

The song "Session" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 2004.

In its first week, Meteora debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The album sold at least 810,000 copies its first week of release. As of June 2014, the album has sold 6.2 million copies in the US, and over 27 million copies worldwide. The album was ranked number 36 on Billboard's Hot 200 Albums of the Decade.
