Vi Er Live – Sigrid and Aurora (Somewhere Else, 2020)

Last year when I went to see Sigrid in St. Louis, I told my wife afterwards that I wanted to go to more concerts. That plan clearly isn't going to pan out to anything with everything going on. What I have done though is watched quite a few virtual concerts. The Somewhere Else Festival (Et Helt Annet Sted) presented at ViErLive.no is actually the fourth live show I've watched from Sigrid int he past month. The previous being a bit on the Twitch Steam Aid event, a short show on the IGTV from Levis, and one for the opening of…

My Music Listening Habits for March 2020

So, not a particularly exciting month in Music. Despite actual effort on my part, Sigrid still tops the chart by a large margin. Tessa Violet comes in second. I actually watched both of these artists doing online live(ish) shows due to the Corona-virus. Though the Sigrid segment of the Twitch Stream event was pre recorded and not actually live. Tessa Violet has been doing some live shows on Youtube. The soundtracks for Gris and Journey both make a return. They are both pretty similar in feel and are really great for "general distraction free listening". Lindsey Sterling also falls into…

My Music Listening Habits for February 2020

Not a whole ton that's overly exciting this month. I did listen to quite a bit of BT, whom is one of my all time favorite artists, even if my time listening to his stuff comes and goes. I think there was a bit of earlier stuff that I didn't associate as being BT that I liked, but I remember that Never Gonna Come Back Down was the track that really got me into listening to more of BT's music. It was on the soundtrack for Gone in 60 Seconds. In the actual movie, they play this really neat super…

My Music Listening Habits for January 2020

I keep wanting to change these up to be by artist instead of album but there doesn't seem to be a 5x5 generator that does artists and has images. Sounds like an excuse to do some coding, but I'm not sure it's possible because it feels like something someone would have done. So anyway, it's back to albums. Which gets a little sloppy looking this month. So, there has been one major change this month. Around the turn of the year, I got an email through work for 6 months of Spotify Premium. I usually don't really go for limited…

One Year, One Decade, in Music

A lot of people recently started posting their Spotify year end reviews to social media. I don't really use Spotify for music, but I do use Last.fm. In fact, I've used Last.fm off and on since 2005. There are a few low points, I had basically zero Scrobbles for 2015 for example, and it was a lot lower while I was using Windows Phone, in general, but it's still a pretty good snapshot of music habits. and changes. So rather than just settle for a year, i wanted to look over a year, and the last decade of music. The…
