9 in 1 (26)

 

I'm so glad you could tear yourself away from the rebirth of social media / 'mecca of Millennial brain rot' that is Threads to visit here for a few moments.

If you are new here, this is just a YouTube playlist of tracks I've been enjoying recently... on Blogger, remember blogger? It's still going. It's here. 

And that picture at the top, which kinda has an Alien/Predator on the Gameboy vibe? That's a picture that's been through PhotoMosh 26 times and counting. I can't remember what it was off originally, but would've been off Wikimedia.

Anyway here's the playlist, 9 in 1 (26): 

And here are some words...

Pys Melyn - Bywyd Llonydd

Loungy laid-back pop from Pwllheli. Big summery vibes yn Gymraeg. Neis.

Novelist - Stay With Me

As mentioned on the first episode of Digging with Flo -  Flo Dill from NTS's new gardening/interview podcast - where Novelist was helping with prepping an allotment. It's kind of a similar vibe to Pys Melyn despite being utterly different music. The video is a scream as well you can just tell he's cracking up doing it. 

Malcolm Neon - Llygaid yr Haul

Not 100% sure where I heard this oddball scratchy pop, again yn Gymraeg, but it's lovely stuff.

Underworld - Jumbo

I'm sure I've said this before, but the older I get the more I get Underworld. As a kid, they weren't up there with Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, or even Orbital in the big 90s dance acts for me. Now though, I'm digging the proggier vibes more and more. Jumbo is just lush and a single I completely missed at the time in 1999.

Charli XCX - Vroom Vroom

Dumb /v. clever fun. Not on PC Music but I've been on a SOPHIE tip recently (she produced Vroom Vroom) following the news that the label is to become archive-only after 2023.

Chris Korda and The Church of Euthanasia - Buy

Sofie K closed a recent NTS show with this nagging electropop that eventually led me to read up on the Unabomber... Chris Korda was behind the Unabomber for President campaign in 1996.

Joy Orbison x Overmono – Blind Date

Bit of a thumper from Joy Orbison and Monmouth's finest Overmono. It stood out in ANNA's Essential Mix on the drive back from Bridport a couple of weeks ago.

FRMAND - Heuldy

One of the big finds from the research into the Colour Run playlist I did for the boy's school event the other week. Big room house yn Gymraeg, neis neis.

Confidence Man and Daniel Avery - On & On (Again)

I've got to keep better records of where I hear things. But yeah, the summer anthem for me here. Big 90s throwback vibes, it just sounds massive, and fun, and yes mate, love it.
