olgamaria touzet guillot - "ámame" (1981)

the female pop crooners of my generation were folks like juice newton, linda ronstadt (sp?), etc. meh from me mostly. as ever, i've been set on researching what was happening elsewhere and that's brought me to some early 80s latin soft rock. olga is fairly in charge on this one and it feels like it may just sit in with some open-minded lovers rock sets. really good jam. this one's a hit, boys.

Jangly Japanese girl groups are awesome.

june mcdoom - "babe you light me up" (2022)

i like this so much that i don't even want to talk about it.

instead i'll ask a question to you: what does "babe you light me up" by june mcdoom sound like to ya'll?

i have an answer but i really don't wanna talk about it.

(the june mcdoom ep is def recommended btw)

have really appreciated this thread today Austin, long may it continue

^

i've never seen any actual evidence of her having one, but her cape is definitely green btw.

btw if anyone wants to follow along+hear some of the stuff talked about here+other tangents upon tangents, i keep a playlist on spotify called redundant chicanery:

i just treat it like my personal radio station and it's got some context/guidelines for not me listeners:
-shuffle only. yer gonna have a bad time otherwise. optional, but i recommend also toggling the repeat all to on to completely dip yrslf into the batter for deep frying.
-it changes all the time every day.
-on that note, some songs stick around for years, others for a matter of hours.
-it's over 30 hrs presently, but has been as short as 5 hours.
-i'm a nerd so there are a good chunk of offline things. if you're so compelled, i think most of the "greyed out for not me listeners" selections are available on youtube.

it's really just meant to confuse the listener with similar sounds from mildly disparate sources. very ilm-friendly.

search: carrot top records. nothin else, really. just checking out what's available and it ranges from the coctails and archer prewitt's stuff through poi dog pondering side projects and on to americanaish indie folk rocky stuff like this-

february - "trace" (1997)

v cool.

subbed

saturday night smokefest brought about this passionate exclamation from our host:

i just don't understand how you can take yourself seriously as a music fan if you're not interested in new sounds.

in terms of enthusiasm, it certainly beats this one from yesteryear-
