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
Bells, bows, gifts, trees - Todrick Hall

I cant deal with him after seeing what a shitty person he was when he was on big brother. 🤮
I really liked The Wizard of Ahhs melody he did with Pentatonix.
Played Fortnite Festival and discovered "The Search" by NF. What a banger!
I also love this song by him
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!
Mr. Fear, by SIAMÉS. They're a great band.
Also, anything by Mother, Mother.
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.
Stan Qualen by The Southern River Band. I love their brand of rock
I just Recently discovered Lu Kala, and Hotter Now is now in my heavy rotation.
Not a type of music I listen to a lot, but I've had this song on repeat recently
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.
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.
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!
Nevertel - Everything in My Mind
Reminds me of the band Bad Omens
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.
Mötorhead - Mötorhead
Rewatching HIMYM and this song is now stuck in my head again
Simple Song - The Shins
Ihsahn - The Observer https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RD1Ui76Zd-GXg&playnext=1&si=9HPc6Ax-Q1lTL66Q
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

Disco Ulysses - Vulfpeck
Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, by Weird Al. It's such a fun painting of Midwest American culture
Drab Majesty - The Skin and the Glove https://youtu.be/5lVfNtsx1y8?si=5WMsVIMFDIlks6zM
Dark Times - The Weeknd/Ed Sheeran. No idea why this song didn't blow up years ago!
Fly Down - Stephen. Love this guy.
Lauren Babic’s cover of “What was I made for?”…really suits my holiday mood.
Rise Up - Sum41.
Whole Again - ðady freyr
A pretty catchy 80's synth-pop song, in Spanish, by a German band.
"Spiral City" -- Carr
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
Einar Solberg - A Beautiful Life
Powerful, beautiful and brilliantly sung. I love it.
Entire album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess by Chappell Roan. I don't like every song, but most. It's a lot of fun.
Also the song Grown Up by Raffaella makes me laugh.
Not a very well known band but the song has a great atmosphere. I'm writing an act to it right now
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.
I can't get Addict from Hazbin Hotel outta my fuckin' head. 😵💫
Samara Joy - A Joyful Holiday
ive made a fallout style playlist and my daughter has been loving these songs:
fairley holden - papas getting old
I've been playing the new Hellripper album a lot. Throwback speed metal like it's the 80s again
Check out Bewitcher also
If you like Hellripper, you might want to give Pest Control a blast. Modern take on 80's crossover thrash.
I cannot stop rocking out to "Hollywood Baby" by 100gecs
Shook - Douvelle 19
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.
Summer Days by Martin Garrix
Jack The Ripper by Screaming Lord Sutch. Nice catchy early 60s beat.
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.
Dragon Bump by Desert Planet. It's been a serious earworm the last couple of weeks for me lol
Cupid (Twin Ver.) by FIFTY FIFTY (on YouTube Music)
