scrobbles: february 2025
gonna start doing monthly recaps of my last.fm history as a fun way to catalog and expand upon listening habits and whatever whims i indulged.
random thoughts looking at the collage:
- my friend bryn and i swap music because he’s a baby and i’m an old man, it’s a good learning experience. most recently he sent me tierra whack’s “whack world” and it’s really great. an experiment in building a 15-minute album out of 1-minute songs, she showcases a pretty broad range and skill in focusing on what can hook you in a short period. so many of them could easily be blown up into 3-minute songs if she wanted to. she also made an impressive 15-minute video for the album, that was actually how i experienced it the first time. highly recommend. faves: cable guy, hungry hippo, silly sam, fruit salad, pretty ugly
- i didn’t listen to “GNX” much when it came out, but kendrick lamar’s superbowl half-time show lit that fire in me and it hit my rotation hard. dude’s on top of the world. faves: squabble up, luther, hey now, tv off, heart pt.6
- i’ve got a post in my drafts to go a bit deeper on the pillows, but they’re an all-time favorite of mine and the news of them breaking up after 35 years had me down bad.
- rosé’s debut album “rosie” is alright but the taylorswiftification of pop music is fuckin real. faves: toxic till the end, APT., dance all night
- i love charli xcx but will forever believe “true romance” is her best album and forever be curious about what a future around that charli would’ve sounded like. faves: nuclear seasons, you (ha ha ha), what i like, black roses, you’re the one
