Listening to several "best of" lists from various #music sites around the web and discovering that they include the most syrupy pop and hip-hop of the year. It is so terrible that I am now cleansing the auto-tune from my ear by listening to the hardest metal I can find. I miss the days when mp3 blogs focused on edgy or indie music of all styles. Honestly, I find better recommendations on Mastodon.
If you are watching Down Cemetery Road and wondered what the theme song is, it is this. (Also a good selection for #BandcampFriday)

New video of Florence and the Machine performing "One Of The Greats" live for World Cafe. I like the lyrics of this song and the arrangement on this version.

OK, I've created https://thoughts.pivic.com which is a @writefreely site where I aim to write short posts about different things, perhaps mainly on music.
Because WriteFreely uses ActivityPub, you can follow this account via Mastodon if you want to get updates: @niklas . There's also an RSS feed: https://thoughts.pivic.com/feed/
My first post is about Hania Rani's excellent new album: https://thoughts.pivic.com/hania-rani-non-fiction-piano-concerto-in-four-movements
Hopefully this will be a way for me to get back to short writing that isn't Mastodon!
