I have decided to subscribe to more music newsletters and sites*

*But also pitch to more places so that I can write them off on my taxes (shhhh)

Day 36

Go_A: Shum (2021, Ukraine)

First song of the decade that got me wondering about Eurovision as an avant proposition

Listening to the new Mountain Goats and realizing Taylor Swift is much closer to this formally (for similar reasons) than any pop music. She really is a cult act, and not in an “every act is a cult act actually” way

Day 35

Semi Tee f. Kammu Dee, Miano, & DJ Maphorisa: Scooter (2020, South Africa)

From the funk to amapiano -- this song (and Semi Tee's '20 alb) had me searching for the scene that produced it, and I haven't slowed down in the intervening five years.

Day 34

DJ Wesley Gonzaga, Mc Laureta, & Mc Cyclope: Serra Nela Com Fuzil na Bandolera (2021, Brazil)

Maybe my funk track of the decade, mostly for clicking in a way that opened up the whole world, while sounding like it was trying to shut me out

still cursed (don't think I ever put this on Bluesky)

I did in fact move on to the Rosalia album, which is really nice. "Berghain" a weird choice for a single ("Reliquia" would have made more sense). I continue to find her a little arm's length but pretty's pretty

Finally listening to that maybe-too-arty but interesting album everyone is talking about (Juana Molina's DOGA)

The new Ashley Monroe album is instructive to understand how fried my attention span has gotten -- think I would have given this album much more time ten or more years ago (it's easily her third-best and probably her second-best).

My favorite ever inspiration for a television show about AI-generated pop music (Taylor Acorn, Taylor Bravo, Taylor Charlie, Taylor Delta, Taylor Echo, Taylor Foxtrot...) has put out a pretty good song with an annoying title (it's "home movies"!)

The last time Hilary Duff put out a great song I nonetheless wanted to hear Kylie Minogue sing, Kylie was the age Hilary Duff is now.

Taylor Swift is Eminem for girls

Kristina Dawn: OneHalfAnd (2025, Philippines)

Who says rap is dead?? We’ve only been rapping in one lung direction the whole time

New L'Trimm!!!!! (Tigra has had a solo career since 2008 as The Lady Tigra but I think this is the first song with both of them on it.)

They are taking until 2029 for a KPOP DEMON HUNTERS sequel? I feel very Lucille Bluth about this news: "How long could it take...six months?"

There are three recent artists a lot of people I follow love, and who I have always responded to in a very emperor's new clothes way. (I am listening to one of their songs now and it's just...nothing.) Def not worth starting Discourse over, though, I am happy for the people who like them.

Day 30

**11 POINTS**

MILLI: Sudpang! (สุดปัง) (2020, Thailand)

Thai rapper of the decade, has gotten so successful that she's mostly moved into English, but her best song was her showoff superbang joyride through dialects and voices and languages.
