nme's top 50 were just released

obviously I don't agree with most of that (chappel roan on #1), but I can recognize that it somewhat captures the current zeitgeist. Doesn't mean I have to like every single part of that.

In that vein, I very much am delighted to see Magnetic from ILLIT taking a place right after Sabrina Carpenter, #27, whose music I just recently praised here. Not necesseraly for its muiscal fidelity, but more so because I like young girls in skimpy clothing singing bubbly songs, even if they pretend to themselves it's for "artistic" purposes or "subverting" something.

So, rejoice once again, in this gem of a tune. It's genuinely my favorite song this year, especially in terms of me appreciating how much it boosted these girls and all the great things they got to show since its sucess in a myriad of performances, variety shows, livestreams and more.

I have some kpop performances running as background noise on a seperate window, pretty quietly too, so most of the time I'm not even sure what's playing. But I started listening more closely when this song came up


It sounded strangely familiar, but I couldn't quite figure it out. Googled one of the (english) lyrics, turns out it's a different rendition of this song, which I used to love a lot as well



It's been over a decade that I heard this song and yet within a few seconds these girls took me back. Obviously they don't hold a candle to Corinne Bailey Rae in terms of vocal performance, but I do appreciate these more somber stage performances quite a bit. If I had a couple of drinks in me, this would be the type of performance that I'd chug another glass too.

I pinged my brother today looking for some new metal to listen to that I might not have heard yet (he is a huge metal head). He sends me this and I freakin' love it.

These are only words and artificial tones,
We're just skin and bones playing telephone with things
We probably never said at all.
This world is stitched with schemes,
Where once there was reality.
It's hard to reach across the unbelievable distances
between what we really are and who we claim to be
The irony engine isn't lost on me

The shame is that we saw it coming,
In the faces of the young among us on crayon and paper drawings,
The clearest writing on the wall we could ever ask for,
What do they believe?
Where are all their fathers?
Where are all their mothers?
Who left them there alone with the television remote like some Philosopher's Stone
"Figure it out on your own, child"

Does in game music count? The "game" I am playing is a VN, and I did not like the voice acting, so I turned it off and turned the music and sound effects up.
