Five Songs I'm Into Right Now

Tagged by @sealrock - thank you! I don't get to talk about music often :> Tagging: @gatheredfates @iron-sparrow @archaiclumina @airis-ray @vasheden @ungrateful-cyborg @ahollowgrave

My favorite song list depends on my mood, the weather where I live, the weather at a point equidistant from the equator in the opposite direction, the end results of 6 daisy-chained random number generators, my current hyperfixation, and how much front-end code I've had to deal with that week; but for y'all. I will try and compile a list of my general go-to songs of the now.

Fair warning that I don't latch to lyrics often, so there's not gonna be any like. Insanely cool quotes or nothin. I tend to like things based on melody and rhythm.

[Pegasus Seiya] - The Struts

I don't even go here, but I was introduced to this song by my brother-in-law who represented it to us as an absolute banger. He was 100% correct, there are hundreds of lines of code that have that song on repeat to thank.

[Yellow Line] - James Shimoji

If you haven't seen REDLINE, do yourself a favor and do so asap. We advertise it as "seven years hand-drawn" because that's exactly what it is! It also has a kickass soundtrack, and this is the first song that you hear in the movie.

[Sleep Walking Orchestra] - BUMP OF CHICKEN

Yeah, yeah, me and everyone else watching Dungeon Meshi. This song got me through 7.6 kilometers, mostly uphill, when we were walking part of the Nakasendo. It really feels like a "my friends and I are on a big adventure!" kind of D&D song, and since we went in a group of 9 this really had that feeling!

[1] - MOB CHOIR

All of the Mob Psycho openings are excellent, but the third season's is my favorite. Something about the melody of the bridges is really quite excellent, and the chorus is a banger. Also not gonna lie, "So do what you can now" is something that pops into my head whenever I try and put things off.

[Twister] - Takeharu Ishimoto

Specifically the original. I'm way back into TWEWY music since I had a minor religious experience playing "Calling" through my bluetooth headset while standing in the Shibuya Scramble, and there's little that beats OG Twister. It was a perfect choice for the accompaniment of the opening - it really sets up expectations for the vibe of the game perfectly.
