Lets start a new Lemmy holiday tradition. What's a song you've been digging lately?
Not necessarily your favorite, but something you recently discovered or rediscovered.

Still Alive - Portal Soundtrack
A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman soundtrack.
I sent my kids nuts playing that soundtrack on rotation. lol.
Billy Idol - Rita Hayworth
and
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
I had she-bop in my head the other day.
I'll start.
Recently discovered: Nightwish, Last ride of the day
Recently rediscovered as it just came up on my playlist: Mick Jagger, Sweet Thing
edit: Someone just introduced me to Vancanto covering Fear of the Dark. I didn't think a cappella metal was possible.
Bells, bows, gifts, trees - Todrick Hall
https://open.spotify.com/track/1tgQ9XHgJT4up8z9Xe3XpI?si=SBXr89CzTVOu8CIILQCIFA
I really liked The Wizard of Ahhs melody he did with Pentatonix.
I cant deal with him after seeing what a shitty person he was when he was on big brother. 🤮
Epona - Eluveitie
and
ANSI.SYS - MASTER BOOT RECORD (also known as keygen church)
Been playing some Cyberpunk 2077 and also finished the anime. I Really Want to Stay at Your House has been on repeat lately. Such a great synthpop tune.
insanely good song. who's ready for tomorrow is a vibe too.
Played Fortnite Festival and discovered "The Search" by NF. What a banger!
I also love this song by him
NF - When I grow up
I went thru many of his songs after discovering "The Search". "When I grow up" is great ... the subtle comedy in the kitchen scene is brilliant. He's quite the lyrical genius!
I went to a performance by De Staat a few days ago, so I've been in the mood for their music
Gossip by Måneskin.
ooo Måneskin's latest stuff is incredible. Great choice! Love them!
Stick Season by Noah Kahan
Not a type of music I listen to a lot, but I've had this song on repeat recently
Been on a big King Crimson kick lately and I just fucking loooove Three of a Perfect Pair. Holy stink it's so good. https://youtu.be/QdMHy074kNc
That whole album is sooo good but this song is a definite favorite.
Frappe Snowland
Northwest Passage - unleash the archers
Mr. Fear, by SIAMÉS. They're a great band.
Also, anything by Mother, Mother.
I just Recently discovered Lu Kala, and Hotter Now is now in my heavy rotation.
Logic - Wu Tang Forever.
Such a solid track.
Einar Solberg - A Beautiful Life
Powerful, beautiful and brilliantly sung. I love it.
For some reason I'm particularly keen on Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor at the moment. No idea why but it did just turn 20 years old.
Do you mean muhdah on the donce floor? I love that too. She does some great Covid streams with her kids discoing in their home.
Disco Ulysses - Vulfpeck
Lauren Babic’s cover of “What was I made for?”…really suits my holiday mood.
Soup for my Family by Pigeon Pit
Can't say I was expecting to find pigeon pit in this section, but that is a very good song!
Vampire Empire by Big Theif
Stan Qualen by The Southern River Band. I love their brand of rock
Edit: https://youtu.be/62Vfzet8XIA
i've been getting back into Big Band Swing in general, but Andy Kirk and the Twelve Clouds was a special group, and one of their pianists Mary Lou Williams was a true pioneer of jazz solo improvisation.. still mind blowing to hear..
Walkin' and Swingin' is a good one..
Close to Five is just badass
Thanks everyone for all these suggestions, some really interesting stuff here (and some shite 😂)
Can I introduce you to Deluxe? Been really enjoying their stuff recently, but they don't seem to tour much

Carvings by Orbit Culture
Found this in a Melodic Death Metal compilation video last week and can't stop listening to it.
I have to question putting Orbit Culture on a melodeath compilation. While it worked out for you, unless the one who made the compilation is trying to give curveballs to the listener, it's a weird addition.
I cannot stop rocking out to "Hollywood Baby" by 100gecs
Rewatching HIMYM and this song is now stuck in my head again
Simple Song - The Shins
https://open.spotify.com/track/35sayLCpOsy7aCAp8sppG1?si=PL0LBx7vTCukVHrGIsmHIA
From the project "Project Voltage" with Hatsune Miku
I've been playing the new Hellripper album a lot. Throwback speed metal like it's the 80s again
Hellripper - I, The Deceiver
If you like Hellripper, you might want to give Pest Control a blast. Modern take on 80's crossover thrash.
Sick riffs. Thanks.
Check out Bewitcher also
ive made a fallout style playlist and my daughter has been loving these songs:
fairley holden - papas getting old
charlene arthur - just look, dont touch, hes mine
boswell sisters - everybody loves my baby
Mötorhead - Mötorhead
Nevertel - Everything in My Mind
Reminds me of the band Bad Omens
Ihsahn - The Observer https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RD1Ui76Zd-GXg&playnext=1&si=9HPc6Ax-Q1lTL66Q
Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, by Weird Al. It's such a fun painting of Midwest American culture
A Long December (Counting Crows)
Soul Asylum's cover of Rhinestone Cowboy.
The former is ever relevant, the latter is somehow both a total reimagining of the song and true to the original.
Yeah, I date myself with both of those. Yeah, I was probs in HS for both of them.
That, and Good Riddance / Time of your Life (Greenday). I understand it was supposed to be a sarcastic dig at a woman. But that's not how audiences largely heard it, and it became the legit, totally unironic anthem of a certain generation that I am abs not a part of.
Also... There's a completely random punk band no one but me has ever heard of (Ruth Ruth), and their album Laughing Gallery has been by my side at some of my lowest points over the years. Wish I could let 'em know the impact they had in making sure I pushed through some of the worst periods.
Cupid (Twin Ver.) by FIFTY FIFTY (on YouTube Music)
Everything by Femtanyl
Out of nowhere I woke up with "Bond Theme's From The Early 80s" by Paul Williams stuck in my head. NZ Taskmaster Paul Williams, not 70's songwriter Paul Williams.
Dark Times - The Weeknd/Ed Sheeran. No idea why this song didn't blow up years ago!
Fly Down - Stephen. Love this guy.
2d Girl by mayten
and fuck it, ill thrown in Werewolf by yawn too
Coming back once more for a song remembered, a little different from the other two: Your Bow May Bend by Buried Beds.
Flatliners - resuscitation of the year
https://youtu.be/ut4qQbwZDVU?si=sY8PC6_DV3ZB8njk
Samara Joy - A Joyful Holiday
I can't get Addict from Hazbin Hotel outta my fuckin' head. 😵💫
"In Tartarus" - The Night Eternal
close your eyes
Jack The Ripper by Screaming Lord Sutch. Nice catchy early 60s beat.
X Ambassadors, K.Flay, grandson - Zen
A donde, by Cetu Javu.
A pretty catchy 80's synth-pop song, in Spanish, by a German band.
Summer Days by Martin Garrix
In my head for weeks now.
Chicane - Don’t Give Up
https://g.co/kgs/zBzUsy
Hot Mulligan - John "The Rock" Cena, Can You Smell What The Undertaker
Whole album is so good. I didn't think I'd ever like screamy music but it is not overdone.
Literally found this looking for a song I've heard on the radio and it's my new favorite thing
Hoodie X James K - Scorpio 'Unofficial' MV
and the thing I was looking for was Tiffi - Hoodie it's a whole vibe and not my usual music taste
Shook - Douvelle 19
Dragon Bump by Desert Planet. It's been a serious earworm the last couple of weeks for me lol
I’ve had Meat Magnet by Escuela Grind in heavy rotation since it came out recently. I’m not usually into grindcore but this song is catchy as hell.
Are you Bored Yet - Wallows
"Spiral City" -- Carr
The Rigs - Devil's Playground
Not a very well known band but the song has a great atmosphere. I'm writing an act to it right now
Engravings - Ethan Bortnick
https://youtu.be/7xWVhAOd-6U?si=23dMHl755l7ibgRQ
Rise Up - Sum41.
Drab Majesty - The Skin and the Glove https://youtu.be/5lVfNtsx1y8?si=5WMsVIMFDIlks6zM
Hero too - chrissy costanza as kyoka jiro
if you watched the MHA school festival arch, this song will hit extra hard.
Orange Blossoms by Goldford
Sleep Deprivation by Chance Peña
Discovered them last week and I've had them in my rotation since.
Whole Again - ðady freyr
Not at all new, but--Aphex Twin: Digeridoo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5UBYOv1G9A
Can't explain it but I've been listening to Slipknot's Psychosocial and Portishead's Roads a lot lately, after not hearing them for a few years.
Newly discovered Sierra Ferrell's cover of "Don't Let Me Down."
https://youtube.com/@MrMoMMusic pretty much everything on here
My friend recently put me on to this one: The Lantis - Lampu Merah
