I’ve been obsessed with Frog since I discovered their album Count Bateman. The song “You Know I’m Down” got me in the door, but call me Bob because I celebrate these guys’ entire catalogue!

My music is so eclectic that im 90% sure the algorithm thinks im actually 5 different people. But Jenna ortege- stellar. Oceans voice- ummet Ozcan. most things by van canto ( Norwegian heavy metal a capella group), but break the silence album especially. Love the new shinedown album. Hans zimmer- like anything of his. Oh and toxic by Britney Spears. I was somehow in the top 0.1% listeners of that song in 2025. And the longest time by Billy Joel.

Nine Inch Nails released a new remix project album a few months ago called Nine Inch Noize. It’s with a German DJ called Boys Noize. They fine tuned it during their last tour by playing together, and released it with a couple of live performances at Coachella. You can find the album anywhere you stream music, and here’s the concerts if you’re curious: https://archive.org/details/nine-inch-noize-live-coachella-archive

Also, been on a lot of Paris Texas lately. They’re a rap duo with some heavy guitar usage, and punk/grunge/alt influences. Their most recent releases have been two EPs, of which I generally prefer They Left Me With the Sword. (but They Left Me With A Gun is good too.)

Also? I went back to Flobots too. And a little Czarface.

Been getting into a British band called Lemonsuckr - check out the song Stain

Handful of my most recent listens are

• the war on women • friendship commanders • black Moth • Herbie Hancock.

So basically lot of rock (fronted by women ) and a jazz piano legend.

I don’t have any music subscription service.

I self-host navidrome where I stream musical soundtracks for long drives. Book of Mormon and little shop of horrors are my gotos when I get drowsy.

When doing focused work I stream hypr demoscene radio. I’m a software engineer and demo soundtracks just get me in the zone.

I have recently really fallen in love with Em Beihold’s music. She had that one big song a couple years ago called “Numb Little Bug” that you might know. She has a lot of songs about dealing with anxiety, depression, and other mental health stuff, among other topics. Her music is hitting just right for me right now.

Doom Gong!!! A friend introduced me to them and they had a lot of different sounds and ideas, all executed by some very talented musicians. I got hooked on their self-titled album and tracked them to see if they were playing any shows nearby. Luckily i caught them in Philly and they absolutely blew me away! I keep checking to see when i might get another chance, but they’re on a European tour for the summer…

I haven’t had a band excite me so thoroughly in years. Just amazing stuff ❤️ highly recommend all their albums, and if you want a taste of their live experience, check out “Live at the Whirling Tiger” – that’s a pretty damn good approximation of what i had the pleasure of witnessing. Can’t say enough good things about those peeps.

The Gong rings on!!!

I’ve been keeping The JuJu Orchestra’s album Bossa Nova is not a Crime on repeat for the commute because it matches every speed no matter how much or how little traffic.
