Music and stuff. London.
Ugh starting the job I've been putting off and updating the metadata on my music library. I'll be shaking my head and asking myself "what genre is this?" for the next hundred years or so

#PeoplesPop25 2/7

Juana Rozas - UN ÁNGEL

Brash alt-pop from Argentina. She's mad that her guy thinks she's a good person and tbf that seems like a fairly basic mistake.

(Safe to listen even if you're reggaeton intolerant).

#PeoplesPop25 1/7

Same approach as last year - I'll post three of my own less known picks and then use the remaining four to boost others.

First up, a stonking gqom club banger.

STATE OFFF - Kalahari Ferrari

Backxwash - 9th Heaven

What with all the ticket stress this morning, almost forgot to post.
December 11, 2025 at 4:23 PM
She's got some momentum right now so hoping everyone can check out both Malamente and Milionària for #TheTenx5 - two of her best standalone singles.

Turn up the bass for this one

Ah fuck missed the fucking presale anyway
More ticket buying stress ahead ... I guess at the O2 the best seats are to the side because the back of the arena is too far from the stage?

TBF there's nothing more British than painting a flag on shitty public infrastructure and calling it job done. They'll be painting flags on the piles of rubbish on every pavement in London next.
"Trains will be given a union flag inspired paint job as part of the govts nationalisation plan"

Meanwhile the trains themselves are still owned by private rolling stock leasing companies which extract huge amounts of £ from the industry (& shovel it into offshore tax havens)

We're very excited that Maria Arnal is coming to London next year, and this is the first single from an upcoming album

Maria Arnal - AMA

Should've tagged @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social in this post I think. Get some afrobeats on your nomination list for 2001!
+1 for this. If you like the first two minutes you're going to love the whole thing.
I’m going to start annoying you about this one now:
Antibalas - Liberation Afro Beat Vol. 1

Monkey Safari & G. Zamora - Vive

Can't resist a bit of thumping Latin deep house

Far right politician: Hey I'm really racist! I hate foreigners and I want to Send Them Back!

Supporters: Yay! We love it! Let's go racists!

Media: It has to come to light that this guy may have used racist language in the past.

Padme: Surely this will damage his ratings in the polls?

Laura Valls - Perdre'm és trobar-me [To lose myself is to find myself]

A low key indie folk single that crept up on me during the year. It's not doing anything groundbreaking but it is doing it extremely well.

Tomora, Aurora & The Chemical Brothers - Ring The Alarm

A late entry into the list and seems appropriate

Doing my @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social 2001 homework and have just noted down "random noises and shit" for one contender so I guess that's bound to get in ahead of any enjoyable electronic music

The good thing about my Unwrapped this year is that it just reflects the playlists I made for various challenges - the 20s and artist 15s. Managed to get more in the habit of downloading and listening offline to the stuff I really like.
