My Music Listening Habits for 2022

It's that time again, when I ramble on about what I've been listening to this year.  I don't use Spotify so I don't have a "cool kids" wrap up to share.  Instead you get this!  A blog post!  And some little 5x5 charts made from my Last.fm.  I kind of prefer starting on Artists over Albums, so without further ado, the top 25 for 2022.  Which unsurprisingly, is relatively similar to my previous years. In a surprise to literally no one, including myself, my top 3 are pretty much the same as they have been for a while.  Aurora, CHVRCHES,…

Sky: Children of the Light Aurora In Game Concert Event

There have been quite a few "Virtual concerts" in video games in recent years, and on December 8th, the game Sky: Children of the Light became one the games that has hosted a concert in game.  Though "Concert" feel like a bit of a stretch, it's more like a Musical Event.  Similar TO Fortnite's Soundwave Series Events.  All of the songs also seemed to just be the Studio Tracks, which was kind of a bummer.  I didn't really expect an actually live event, but a bit of a live feel to the music would have helped make it a bit…

Aurora @ The Riviera feat SubUrban (2022.05.27)

It seems like my brief run (of 2) concerts where I was standing up front couldn't last forever. I was close, but I was not right up front for the Aurora show. Not a massive deal, except I ended up behind this dude with poofy hair, so I couldn't see half the stage half the time. But I'm not really here to complain. I'm here to record things that I want to remember. This would have been my 4th (proper) concert, but I opted to not go see Dodie back in February, due to COVID going nuts at the time.…

My Music Listening Habits for 2021

It's time again for my new favorite annual tradition here (until it isn't), my music listening habits for the year. Not a lot of new this year, I'll admit that. Though I sometimes wonder if part of that is that some artists and albums get sort of lost int he sauce of over listening to some of my favorite artists. Anyway onto the break down, I'll split up artists and albums even though they kind of parallel each other. Artists The biggest movers this year were Aurora and CHVRCHES in the number two and number one spot. CHVRCHES has a…

CHVRCHES @ The Pageant feat Donna Missal (12/06/2021)

Back in 2019 after going to see Sigrid live, I decided I really wanted to go to more concerts. I even started planning to maybe try to go to Lollapalooza at some point. Then well, the world fell apart, and there were no concerts really for a while. Things are still kind of falling apart but they are better for people making an effort to make them better (though that's a subject for another post). I did manage to make it to another concert. I even have one, maybe more lined up for 2022 already. This time it was CHVRCHES.…
