Do you have any good music recs? I'm tired of listening to the same 10 songs and I only have Hunnu Guren - Batzorig Vaanchig & Auli, The Hu, and Red Leather to offer
When you see this, post 5 songs you actually listen to and tag some awesome people!
tagged by @heyholmesletsgo, thank you!!! I am adding links to the videos of these songs because all of these are great videos!
Fils de Joie by Stromae - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7Z2tgJo8Hg&list=FLjTTxXrAdqMUnnKaz1H42vQ&index=13 - I put it in the tags but am putting it here also. If you love JGY watch this video and imagine it is the funeral he would have thrown for Meng Shi if he could have!

I started playing Fallout: New Vegas in December so! Please enjoy my favourites from Mojave Radio, along with a couple songs from my personal FNV playlist, which is mostly Spanish-language from a similar era. I feel like this month's playlist is a wider range than usual, but I think it hung together well in the end. It is wild to me that 'Bonkers' by Dizzee Rascal is from 2009 and that I first listened to it with LJ friends on a PC that later died because of (or partly thanks to) a moth that had found its way inside. Related media to some of the songs:
If you're of a specific age cohort then MGMT's 'Bubblegum Dog' video is like a buffet of music video style references.
Proceeds from Bjork's 'Oral' will be used to support a legal case against commercial salmon fisheries in Iceland, which are poorly regulated.
Because I do listen to mid-century music, 'Remember (Walkin' in the Sand)' by The Shangri-Las came up naturally in my suggested and when it began I was delighted to realise it's the "oh no" song from various short video formats.
Future Islands are a joy to watch preform live, but their concerts are also enjoyable in video form.
Anyway here's a link to December's playlist on Spotify, with the track list below the cut.

Mongolian throat singer Batzorig Vaanchig plays a song dedicated to Chinggis Khan (whose name I only just recognised as Genghis Khan, in Western script), whose birthday was recently. A marvellous homage to centuries of rich culture and tradition.
