One of the best if not the best song by Nirvana in my eyes. Very simple riffs but so good, so iconic and so much of a dynamic range in that song. It's so satisfying to me when Curt starts yelling and you feel like he's letting go of years of tension.

There's a entertainer/comedian I absolutely love called Reggie Watts. I was watching an interview with him one day and in it he was asked what song he listened to today, and he said "Might find it cheap" by Blitzen Trapper. I had never heard of the band, but I think it's a great song actually.

One of Zappa's genius creations. I don't think there are many (if any) bands that would be able to play this piece and still make it sound like music rather than like a formula. The way that a few motifs move through the instruments and through the meter is so fascinating. I listened to this song a lot as a child but it was only as an adult that I discovered an appreciation for the complexity and delivery of the music.

Listened to this album I don't know how many times growing up. This is another song that's on a phenomenal album. But this one kinda stands out to me. Don't know why but it's always spoke to me. Feels more intimate in a way. Kinda takes you on a journey and it feels like a conversation with yourself going from calm and reflecting to kinda aggressive but very relatable I think.

This artist is the singer and guitarist from the Belgium band Balthazar. I've seen them live 5 times or so and always loved their shows. At some point I discovered this solo album of his and I think there some really nice tracks on it. This one is more of a recent discovery for me. But again, I think this is an extremely good sounding song with super high production value.

Another one that I revisit once a year or so. I think this album is one of his best, although he does have some really good solo albums. I think he's one of the artists who made really good music in a band but then went on to have a solo career that artistically is on the same level. I also think he's one of the few artists that experimented with so many different sounds and styles but it just works every time.

One of my favorite Radiohead albums. Listened to the whole thing on the train yesterday. Also realized how insanely good the production value of the entire album is. But especially of this song I think. The drums sound so crisp and I also really love how the bass comes in and out. The bass is very minimal at times and then when it comes in these faster riffs it fills up the space so nicely. And aside from all of that it's also just a really great song with a great vocal line.

I discovered Karate in about 2014 when I was working in a carpentry in Berlin as part of an internship for my engineering studies. Absolutely loved the work. But the people working there also had a fantastic music taste and I discovered quite a few bands that I grew to love there. And Karate is one of them. I don't know how many times I've listened to this album but I think the interplay of the guitar and bass and also the drums but yeah just the slowness in a way but it's just so so melodic and so satisfying how gradually they move from one mood to another. I think this whole album is a vastly underappreciated masterpiece. And the opening track really sets the mood for it.

One of those songs you here in the background over years but never really know who is singing it. Then when I found it I grew a new appreciation for it.

It's so repetitive but it doesn't matter cause it sounds great. Really good drum and guitar sounds and that synth riff even though it's so simple it's just so satisfying listening to it over and over again.

Back on Billy Joel. This entire album is a masterpiece I think. His singing is also incredible on this album. He has such a good voice. And then combined with his crazy good piano playing makes for such a good combination. Definitely has similarity with Elton John but then it is also quite different. But I also think the production value on this album is really really good.

Really beatiful combination of guitar and kora by two exceptional musicians. Both string instruments have such different timbres and feels and I think they work really well together. And it just also puts you into the setting of sitting in the evening heat in Mali. Not that I've ever been, but that's what I would imagine if feel like. It sounds hot and dry to me. Like there is no haste, no rush and you reflect on the events of the day through your instrument. Something like that. Also feels liberating. Like it's opening up to the sky. Really like this one.

Another banger from The Who. Roger Daltrey really has a great voice. Especially when he really get's loud but still has such good control. That's always the most fascinating skill to me. A vocalist that can scream at the top of their lungs but still has such good control of the notes. But the whole song is insanely good. And given how many times it has been sampled and used in all sorts of genres speaks to that I think.

I revisit this song every few years and rediscover it for myself. I think the tempo changes throughout and the change of mood really pull you in. Great song. Probably one of my favorites from The Who.

IV by BadBadNotGood. Really love the saxophone here. Leland Whitty has such a beautiful sound. I listened to Saxophone quite a bit this week during the Forum Acusticum conference that I attended and it made me think of this song. I also love the production on this album and just in general how much space they're giving the Saxophone to really unfold its sound.

Still on a David Orlowsky Trio trip. This one is also just so good. Especially when the clarinet starts screaming. But also the really high notes are so soft. Just really great contrast.

This is one of the first songs of the David Orlowsky Trio that I really fell in love with. I bought myself a clarinet probably because of this song! I started practicing it quite a bit for a while. The melody is not even that hard, but of course playing it like him is something completely different. I just love those changing rhythms over different time signatures but it never stops feeling like a really light dance. That's the most impressive form of instrument mastery I think - when people have mastered these techniques so well but it doesn't sound heavy at all.

Not much to say about this today. Just extremely catchy timeless song.

Lord Folter was a german rapper. One of the few german rappers I really like to listen to. Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago after a long fight with a brain tumour. Knowing he fought that tumour for so long and listening to his lyrics makes you realize how much he included that in his writing process. Which makes his songs hit even harder. Aside from really poetic and beautiful lyrics I think the instrumentation on his albums is also really nice. Something very melancholic about his songs, I guess understanably so, but also there's something optimistic and celebratory in it. I don't really know how else to explain it but yeah just really good music.

Another Joni Mitchell song today. This one is probably the most famous song of hers. It's such a strange song in a way. In terms of the melody, then these very percussive sections. But the text feels more relevant than ever and once you've listened to it a few times it's extremely catchy. I think her ability as a singer doesn't really come across in this song, but the structure and vibe of it are really gripping in a way.

I've not long discovered Joni Mitchell for myself. But her voice especially in the falsetto is just insane. It's so pure and so cotrolled. Really really beautiful song. The entire album is a masterpiece. Also carries really great emotions. Also the instrumentation is beautiful. Not packed with stuff, everything has enough space - especially the voice.

One of the most impressive vocal live performances out there I think. Both are just fantastic singers but in this song it also just works so well together. The aniticipation you feel before Pavarotti first enters it's insane. Gives me shivers every time. It's just from a different world how he sings. But James Brown is also on peek performance. Just so so good these few minutes of of Music.

Steve Vai is one of the most gifted guitarists in my eyes. I absolutely love this song. It's tempo, the tone just the feel is so good here. If you listen to this on speakers or good headphones really loud - you'll have a good day.

First really had my attention drawn to this song when watching the movie Heretic. Such a good movie. But this song is also extremely good. His voice kinda reminds me of David Bowie.

It's not really usually my style of music but I think the production value on this song is just so insanely good. It just sounds extremely good. Every instrument has space in the mix and each of them sound well rounded. I think Rick Ruben is just so good at producing really good sounding music.

This is quite a unique collaboration between a Berlin and a Hong Kong rapper but I think it really works very well. I also think the video is really good.

This song has something deeply sad but in a way also very beautiful for me.

Kinda sounds a bit beatles line the vocal line but it has something extremely catchy and is so satisfying how empty the mix is giving the vocals so much space. And the lyrics are very timeless. Great tune!

A super famous german singer. This song has a pretty unique chord progression in my eyes and a strange feel but also really hauntingly beautiful.

loving this one today
