#2022 in music

[rapha-reads]

Alright, YouTube Music gave me my 2022 recap! And without any surprise...

- I have listened to 41,160 minutes of music. That's... 686 hours, a full month.

- My most listened to artist is Lata Mangeshkar ji, and I'm amongst the 0,1% of people listening to her. Followed by Udit Narayan, Shreya Ghoshal ma'am, Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu, because apparently I have high standards.

- My number one title is DDLJ's Ho Gaya Hai Tujkho. My number 2 is also DDLJ. And the 3. And the 4. Ahem.

- And logically my most listened to genre is Bollywood.

Bollywood party at my house?

Songs from 2022 I enjoyed. A few are from 2021, but I was slow to catch on. I enjoyed a lot of new music this year. A lot of old artists, but I like to think I'm still with it.

So somewhere back around the time the new Rina Sawayama album was announced, which I think was also about the time the new Regina Spektor album was announced, and also around the time the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs was announced, I thought “Hey, I should make a playlist of all the cool new music coming out this year!”

Anyway, that playlist is currently well over 100 songs long and I’d like to keep adding to it and also not everything is from 2022 and it’s just getting really unwieldy and honestly I want to make it worse.  So this is not that playlist. 

(this is that playlist, actually)

But I still wanted to do some sort of... sampling, I guess, of the cool new songs that came out this year.  So this is that playlist.  50 cool new songs, all from this year, and then some Depeche Mode, because of Fletch.  

Give it a spin, and if you fall in love with anything, consider seeing if they’ve got anything up on Bandcamp, because while Spotify is fantastic for making easily shareable playlists on, they’re shit at paying artists.

This is from Apple’s version of Spotify wrapped. Most of my top songs are from Caleb Widogast’s playlists from Critical Role. That also what got me into the Decemberists.

Thanks Critical Role!
