No idea who the artist is or what the song is, just know it’s got something to do with Bangladesh, but I clicked on this because I liked the small thumbnail. I’m a sucker for bright colours plus washed out photos kinda design.

Matey’s got a wild bow grip, takes money while singing, keyboard player casually browses his phone, drummer’s having a great time, excellent.

Okay, I figured out the artist’s name, not sure if the first part of the title/image is the song title. Other stuff in the thumbnail is the yellow and white text in the top right which says the place where they’re performing (Abode of Shukur Shah Baba (who is the old fella on the left)), middle text which is the artist and lyricist credit, and ২০২৪ which is 2024. So, yeah, assuming the top left text (Nabiganj Thana Farm Bazar) is the song title, but not sure. Nabiganj is a place…

Guy in Pacific Club mentioned this song.

Might fit nice in a playlist after In Alto Mare.

Meant to note that it was interesting hearing this kind of vocal affectation in French.

I’ve been listening to this daily.

Got to this from recs. from more stuff I was hearing off that blog. Great atmosphere.

Translator says the title is ‘Targeted Girl’. Seems like it might be a Youtube darling I’ve missed.

She only has one album according to Discogs—

Oh, looked at the credits on Discogs and it’s a bunch of people Internet people like a lot more than I do, EG Haruomi Hosono wrote a lot of the songs. Didn’t think much of the album apart from this song and maybe ハートがピッピッ (My Heart Goes Beep Beep), but more interesting production than a lot of J-pop.

Was sorting my bookmarks a bit, going through checking music blogs, adding some RSS feeds, and am having a good time exploring this one: Fond/Sound.

Rest of this EP of remixes I’m not into as much. Normally I get a bit bored by this type of thing. Enjoying the icy/crystally sounds, been trying to make some music with them too.

Predictably, the song I complained about last post has got stuck in my head.

Here’s another one off the same album I like. Kinda like how normal the singer looks in this, like someone’s auntie.

Was looking at Youtube comments on a song I like and someone called it sophistipop. That sounded like such a stupid word I looked it up to see if anyone else used it, and ugh, it’s some Internet-person non-genre.

Anyway, I’ve been going through a few sophistipop playlists and found a few things. Mostly it’s just C-tier UK stuff with a bit of Roxy Music sprinkled in.

Singing in this is as annoying as fuck, but someone else could do a good version of this.

Don’t remember this song at all from when I rushed through Bowie’s discography. Maybe I just heard the intro and skipped to the next one.

Real good version of a song I was never that fussed by on the album.
