Even more good tunes

Weekly Topic: Do you have a favorite music artist? Tell us more about it.

Apr 29, 2023

I'm not really sure who my favourite music groups are these days, so I took a look at what I've listened to lately on YouTube. There were some familiar albums (Endless Summer by The Midnight always comes up) and playlists (many of Alex Rainbird's as well as some Ghibli piano lists), but there were also some interesting standouts. 

One song that has been stuck in my head recently is Tame Impala's Wings of Time from the Dungeons and Dragons movie, which got me listening to more of Tame Impala's songs (I'd never even heard of them before!). I think my other favourite from them is Lost in Yesterday, which has a neat music video! Actually, I'd recommend this one to anyone reading this. It's very catchy!

Also, if you are nostalgic at all about the North American Pokemon theme song (or have never heard it before), the metal cover by Jonathan Young and Jason Paige (the original singer) is quite a bit of fun! It always pops up in my recommended videos and I can't resist clicking on it for a good time haha!

Finally, The Kiffness is a very clever artist that takes short videos with unqiue sounds (like cats meowing) and makes them into short, catchy songs that make you laugh and feel good. It's pretty amazing what he can do with just a short, 10-second clip! Fair warning, though, you may end up with one of those silly songs stuck in your head for the next week (especially the Coca Cola man song!).
