Please tell us about your spidersona 👀

Sure! Here you go :

Danny, aka Daniel Peter Dickson, is a 30 years old educator and assistance teacher. He does baby-sitting on the side in the building he lives in, and he's very good with kid - i mean, when i created him, he was really inspired by Steve Harrington, so, this vibe but better at it, i guess.

He got bitten by a radioactive when he was 27, while visiting his (now ex) girlfriend at her lab job. His powers are based on a wolf spider (because they carry all their babies on their backs so that matched well with his baby sitting gig), he can carry a lot, sprint and jump higher than most spider people, but he can't produce web ; he's not against using it, if given a web-shooter. Thing is, he's very bad at science so he can't make one himself.

Danny is trans, and the spider bite kinda helped with that. It's like Testoterone Max for him.

His universe is Earth-2000 (or Earth2K), which is a dimension similar to our current world but where the Y2K style/aesthetics never went out of style. The synchrotron of his dimension is goofy asf. If there was to be a theme for his dimension, it would be something between eurodance and phonk.

Even outside of his dimension, Danny sometimes looks like there's lense flare/chromatic effects on him. When given a web shooter, the web looks like y2k tribal patterns. Also he get bullied by the kids at the Spider Society because he still has a flip phone.

UMK 2024 Song Review - Vox Poppuli

The hype is very real around Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK), the Finnish national selection for Eurovision and the race to Malmö ends with another rap entry!

Mikael Gabriel x Nublu - Vox Poppuli

Mikael Gabriel is one of the best known Finnish artists who started his career back in 2007 and has since released 7 studio albums and multiple smash hits. He's had more number #1s than one can count!

A big name UMK audience has been requesting to participate to the contest for years.

His mother is estonian which might explain why he is collaborating now with Nublu, highly succesful rap artist in Estonia. This is surely one of the most interesting UMK entries this year.

Vox Poppuli means in Latin the voice of the people. The song begins with eurodance entry but moves quickly to the 90's / 2000's rock-pop sound that will continue throughout the song. This reminds me of Blink 182 or similar rock band. There's a young energy here despite of its nostalgic sound for older generation.

As a rap song and as a non-rap music fan - this might be the least irritating of the rap songs in UMK24 - also even though musically this seems to be a bit tedious, one note kind of thing, I think this is delivering the crazy fun act better than Windows95man which had kind of similar idea with his performance. I like the choir a lot! Also points for Nublu's rap part in Estonian and not in English.

This has already become somewhat a domestic hit gathering views on Youtube and streams on Spotify. This is easy to listen even though not your cup of tea, it's radio friendly with a catchy memorable chorus and therefore a potential UMK winner. Also MG enjoys a loyal and young fandom so it is expected them to pick up their phones and vote on Saturday night.

Video clip keeps you hooked and we can expect a crazy staging at Nokia Arena at Tampere!

What do you think of the seventh UMK24 track and would you vote for Mikael Gabriel x Nublu to go all the way to Malmö? UMK final takes place on February 10th!

ahahaha soooo what music / bands would your ocs each listen to? Do you associate different Genres with different ones?

oh my dear at this point my ocs's music taste is more developed than their damn lore /hj ALSO YOU'RE IN LUCK THAT I HAD MADE THIS VID HERE A WHILE AGO, I THINK IT MIGHT HELP, STILL, I'LL DO A LIL LIST HERE W THE CHARACTERS IN THE VID

Seraph doesn't really mind that era of music (2012 stuff) and i doubt he'd even be ashamed of it if he did, or anything, really but i think its Klaus who would enjoy that stuff more but if you're wondering what he actually likes, its jazz influenced stuff (Lounge, bossa nova) and Kpop, he was paticularty inspired by Kpop, surprisingly lmao "Still with you by Jung-kook" or "Fullmoon by Sunmi" are some he'd enjoy a lot c: no wonder he came out so fruity

Klaus specifically loves 90s~early 2000s RnB since he grew up with it but i'd say he's open to most things! hell i'd say one of his fave songs even is "Tell it to my heart by Taylor dayne" <<<he rocks this song when cleaning the house or "I'll do it by heidi montag" definetely likes the "ARTPOP" album by gaga

Neberius is big fan of Eurobeat or Eurodance, anything he can para para dance to, probably found his love for the genre when he'd go clubs with his old friends before he died HAHAH "Run away by real Mccoy" or "No one sleeps in tokyo" are some examples, be glad there are no cars for transports in this city cause this man would not hesitate to drift around if these stuff played

Now for Locky i've mentioned this before a few times but he's a metalhead despite being secretive about it, particuraly a fan of Thrash, Heavy or just anything fast, its just something he enjoys in terms of sound despite not agreeing with the ones with questionable lyrics even if they're made for shock value only iykyk :skull: he's just not that type of person lmao but i don't think he minds when the themes get canibalistic tho, some stuff i see him vibing to is "Black magic by Slayer" or even the whole "PTSD" album by Utsu-P <<<(yes, this means he canonically listens to vocaloid too, it'd be unfair to not have that out there since his design was initially inspired by a vocaloid song <X,D if you're into vocaloid and look at his design, it'll probably be obvious wich song was it (and if it isn't i'm sorry HUDASDSND I CAN AWNSWER LATER THO)

OOF OKAY.. i have other ocs with specific tastes n stuff but then this reply would get annoyingly long and confusing since i haven't introduced them here, but yeAH i'm normal about these specific questions :3 maybe i could do another list like this

#ablaze #also on topic but i have music associates with lore aswell. its why i cry like a lil b sometimes. some don't even have lyrics #i go purely with the vibes i get #also sorry if i fucked up my grammar somewhere

London Downtempo Playlist (YouTube)

Continuing to plumb the seemingly endless depths of London's *vast* underground electronic music landscape with this brief and random assortment of killer, underheard gems from the city's incredible downtempo scene.

Things kick off here with a cut from the Rapino Brothers, a pair of Italian guys who moved to London in the late 80s, and who are probably most famous for their very popular remix of the 1993 Italo-Eurodance classic, "The Rhythm of the Night," by Corona. The following year, they released a 12-inch called Go Ahead London, and its title track made its way onto Belgian ambient series Barramundi's first installment. Terrific, twinklingly bleepy affair with great string pads and a sweet trip-hoppy drum groove 😌. The song has a few different uploads on YouTube and has about 10.9K plays in total.

Now, towards the middle of this playlist is maybe my favorite downtempo track ever made, "At the River," by Groove Armada, which has millions of plays. But I actually used a much lesser-known different version of it here, which comes directly from a not-so-stellar Fatboy Slim mix from 2000 called Essential Selection, Vol. One (actually, that release is a double-disc and the second CD is a fantastic trance mix by none other than Paul Oakenfold). So, the first 80 seconds of this version of "At the RIver" happens to be the result of a really impressive transition between another gigantic hit from that late 90s era, Underworld's "Born Slippy," whose drums simply undergird the Groove Armada classic. And it's magic. Currently sitting at around 42.6K plays across its few uploads. A much, much lower play count than the original version.

Also, as London is a pretty diverse and multicultural metropolis, we've also got a pair of tunes here that definitely have an Eastern flair to them as well, even though I don't think that the people who made them are actually of any Eastern ethnicity themselves. "20 Camels," by Friends, Lovers & Family, aka Laurence Elliott-Potter, is on a Middle-Eastern trip hop-lounge tip, and originally comes from a 1998 comp that was released by electronic avantgarde label Law & Auder called Further East-Westercisms. It currently has ~17.8K plays across its handful of uploads. And little-known duo Radar's "Caravane" originates from a 1999 comp called Arabesque, but I found it on another Law & Auder comp from 2000 called East - Westercisms, Vol. 3. That one has about 61.6K plays among its bunch of uploads.

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible:

The Rapino Brothers - "Go Ahead London" A Friend From RIo - "Para Lennon & Mccartney (Lumen Soundsmiths Remix)" Fluid - "Spitting Sand" Flywheel - "Slowdown" Groove Armada - "At the River (Fatboy Slim Re-edit)" Friends, Lovers & Family - "20 Camels" Organic Audio - "Organic Monday" The Funky Lowlives - "Notabossa" Radar - "Caravane" David Sheppard & Keiron Phelan - "Theme From Cardinal Menthol"

And this playlist is also on YouTube Music too.

So, with this inaugural post for this playlist, we're starting with 10 songs that end up totaling a little under an hour. But I'll definitely have updates for this in the future, and most likely a corresponding Spotify playlist as well.

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!

CALVIN HARRIS X RAG'N'BONE MAN - "LOVERS IN A PAST LIFE"

So 2000 and late...

[4.07]

Wayne Weizhen Zhang: [A deep][trance][scorcher] about [old love] by [Calvin Harris] & [Rag'n'Bone Man][!] [6]

Will Adams: Disappointment! After last year's fantastic duo of singles that breathed life into the trance revival, Calvin Harris slips back into Euro-filler, where the only notable features are a marble-mouthed vocalist and a way-too-loud guitar riff. [4]

TA Inskeep: Calvin Harris, ever the musical unoriginalist, sounds as if he's interpolating the likes of Darude here -- because if there's anything Harris knows, it's what's hot in dance/pop at this moment, and right now that's retro '90s dance and trance-pop. The oontz-oontz is pleasant enough, and Rag'n'Bone Man's overdone vocal "ache" fits it well. Neither terrible nor great, just as one would expect. [4]

Alfred Soto: It has the anonymity of a dozen Eurohouse tracks that Miami played around the clock 30 years ago: I can hear Real McCoy's "Another Night" in its verses. What I didn't expect was a guitar solo with "My Sweet Lord" in its rear view. [5]

Hannah Jocelyn: Why did Calvin Harris stick a rag (possibly also a bone) in his vocalist's mouth before recording? The guitar sounds more human than he does! [3]

Nortey Dowuona: Rag'n'Bone Man's lush and rough voice works for EDM since it's just smooth enough not to clash with drum programming. It feels light, excitable and lively when freed of the obligation to imitate R&B and blues -- both genres he clearly wishes to be a part of, yet lacks the finesse or power to. Here, he lives out his fantasies of being Teddy Pendergrass. His voice is too raspy and phlegmy to hold during the verses, but once the pre-chorus synths take hold, he soars, ebullient and lithe as the guitar line over the slimmed-down 1986 pop drums. By the end, he is absent because he's served his purpose. [4]

Dave Moore: The vocals set my teeth on edge: wannabe journeyman pap, like Blues Traveler with all the wrinkles ironed out. I might have found the wallpaper pop-house backing from Harris to be a reprieve, but instead it's just a tepid bath for Rag'n'Bone Man to soak in. You couldn't get me in an unplugged hot tub with either of these guys. [3]

Brad Shoup: On "Giant," Harris redirected Rag'n'Bone Man's gale-force soul through the doors of the Wigan Casino. There was also a hint of boogie, which "Lovers in a Past Life" broadens. I love how this is hectic but not urgent: wrapping itself around the bullcrap until it's drilled a hole in the floor. When Harris drops the twangy hook, it's three docks before Balearic: lovely and gauche, like a restaurant's wall-length photo transfer of a sunset. [7]

Katherine St. Asaph: "Miracle" : Y2K :: "Lovers in a Past Life" : the Y2K club that probably exists in deleted footage from The Beast. (To be fair to this song, I would be more OK with being Rag'n'Bone Man's lover in a past life than that of the guy from The Beast.) [3]

Taylor Alatorre: Just as I was readying a wisecrack about the repackaging of Eastern spiritualism to suit Western categories of romance, I take another listen and realize the song isn't even that: "we were lovers in a past life, for all we know." How do you take a title that hints at reincarnation and cosmically linked fates, and reduce it to a shouted pick-up line at the club? Analyzing EDM lyrics is the province of fools and YouTube essayists, but Rag'n'Bone Man is credited as a co-lead, and his voice is launched at us in the first second, ironically while slurring the word "patience." If there ever were a stage name that implied a commitment to the bit, you'd think it would be "Rag'n'Bone Man," but here he is unwilling to give full expression to the fantasy contained in the premise. His misaimed realism leaves us with little to chew on but Calvin Harris' ongoing Eurodance fixation, which is more subdued and weary-sounding here than it was on "Miracle." That one was turn-of-the-century nostalgia in the service of untrammeled exuberance; this is just another day in the Logic Pro mines. [4]

Ian Mathers: So anodyne and pro forma that I've played it about 5x more than the other songs today because I keep forgetting what it sounds like. Would not care (or even notice?) if it was playing on the radio or whatever, and cannot even vaguely imagine getting it stuck in my head, let alone seeking it out. [4]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: Something about this (maybe Andrew Watt's slide guitar solo?) makes me feel actually literally ill. If I heard this in the club I think I would die on the spot. [0]

Isabel Cole: Rag’n’Bone Man does a good job at something I’m not particularly into (soulful warbling), and Calvin Harris does an adequate job at something I’m easily suckered by (a perfectly passable beat occasionally punctuated by, e.g., swooshy laser noises or handclaps), so I guess this is… fine? [6]

Daniel Monteshenko: Rag'n'Bone Man has a powerful bleat that's all grit, and I've never believed a single lyric he's yowled. The streak continues here. "We were lovers in a past life," he pushes on the chorus, but there's no history, no mangled emotion, no wide-eyed wonder of what romance brings. They're just things he's saying. Calvin Harris is 6'5" and cruising through life. [4]

God, with all the people memeing over that stereotypical eurodance song, it reminds me of the DDR/ITG heyday. Like if you played these games in the 2000's you were obsessed with these songs. Tumblr needs to know about them.

The first one to come to mind was E-rotic. And yeah, they fit the "Awesome woman singer + Guy with That Voice rapping" duo that eurodance needs. Bonus: They're also unashamedly horny. All of their songs are certified bops.

And of course, who could forget the magnificence of Captain Jack (RIP you legend)

So yeah if you want to look at catchy fucking beats that are stupidly and unashamedly fun like that tiktok going around? Just look at DDR and In The Groove music. You're gonna find some gems

Eurovision 2003 - Number 43 - Bubbles - "TKO (Knock You Out)"

Formed in a dance studio in the late 1990s and pushed by the Ace of Bass production axis, Bubbles are a girl group who would have been familiar to Swedes in 2003. They'd had several top 10 hits starting in 2000 as well as managing to get a song on the soundtrack for Ice Age.

When I say girl group here, I mean children. When they met and formed the band they would not yet have been teenagers. There are actually five members of Bubbles in total. The reason that only three members are on the stage at Melodifestivalen is that two members of Bubbles, Jenny Andersén and Hannah Steffenburg were still only 15 and Melfest, like Eurovision itself, has a 16-year old minimum age limit.

2003 also happened to be the first year of Junior Eurovision, but Bubbles were probably already too big for that (as well as just turning 16) - even if the main consumers of their music were young teenagers and children themselves. Melodifestivalen was their push into the grown-up music world.

TKO (Knock You Out), aptly, feels like a work-out song. A strong beat and lots of encouragement to dance or possibly spar. It's an out and out girl bop. There's a gap for a dance break which they don't really take full advantage of, however there's no doubting their qualities as singers and performers. For a trio of 16 year olds, their confidence and stage presence is incredibly assured. Caroline Ljungström, and Patricia and Sandra Joxelius are pitch perfect even while performing some of the more vigorous choreography to be seen on the Melfest stage this year. You can tell they've actually been doing this for at least three years already.

The song was written by a few people including Paul Rein, former Melfest competitor and Swedish star of the 1980s alongside Fredrik Lenander, producer and Eurodance purveyor from the 1990s. There is pop pedigree throughout this.

That this is their first Melfest is therefore only down to their ages. They're the perfect pop product whom their managers and promoters were no doubt hoping would go on to much bigger things. (i.e. Eurovision). It didn't happen. They finished third in their heat, then went into what was an absolutely stacked Viewer's Choice final. They managed to get second in that, once again scraping through. In the final, they finished 9th out of the 10 songs but sadly didn't get a single televote point.

It did, however, score them another top 10 hit in the Swedish charts. They continued to other successes and for a time changed their name to Bless to avoid a copyright/brand-confusion situation internationally. Eventually their output stopped. A planned album and single didn't emerge and Caroline left to go solo. By 2009 the band had split, although all the messaging was directed through their record label and management.

Child stars grow up and often decide that now they get to make decisions for themselves - they want to do something completely different. What exactly happened doesn't appear to have emerged into the public sphere and barring Caroline, nothing has been heard from any of the members since.

longish Felix Fischoeder headcanon post :) read em if you want

he's a trans man + bisexual

his favorite dessert is anything with bavarian cream, especially boston creme pie

he also loves gourmet potato chips

he's obsessed with electronic music, especially eurodance

he speaks latin decently bc it was compulsory at his boarding school + german decently because it was his elective language and he got to practice it a lot because...

he lived in various european countries throughout the 90s and 2000s, spent the most time in switzerland, germany, and belgium, but his favorite place he lived was bolzano even though he only spent 3 months there

that's how he spent his whole interitance, by the way. partying and making questionable business decisions in central europe.

he absolutely was his mother's favorite. she babied him a lot

while calvin went to a very expensive, very fancy boarding school in upstate new york, felix went to a cheaper, crappier one in new jersey.

he felt horribly stifled by the strict environment (and the skirt-and-blouse uniform) so summers were always his favorite time of year because he got to run around in cargo shorts and play in the woods or his treehouse.

he was bullied in school a lot for being "weird" and masculine, esp by the students at the boys' boarding school paired with felix's school. he did have a friend circle of fellow weirdos though, most of whom also grew up to be lgbt.

he would steal calvin's pulp novels and men's adventure magazines while visiting home and read them under the covers with a flashlight. they made him realize he was trans and that he liked women

On Reda's playlist, what was the first song that felt perfect for her? Also for Alex's party playlist, what initially inspired it?

For the playlist ask thing, thank you so much for sending, dear! <3

So, for Reda Shepard's playlist there is kinda two "firsts". Chronologically the first song on it was "The Hammer's Coming Down" from Nickelback. Ever since I first played Mass Effect that is the PERFECT ME3 song for me, and in an AU I will learn how to edit videos and make a ME custom video to that song. Song's on the playlist for that reason, though it ain't specifically Reda inspired. It's Shepard inspired.

The first Reda inspired song on it probably is (a very good question, I don't really remember which song was the first?) "Nothing Left To Say" from Imagine Dragons. The playlist is rather short and mostly has desperat-y songs on it for the general Shepard exhaustion/post-war feels. xD Its not exactly a happy playlist.

As for Alex' party playlist (which I now realize I never transferred to my new phone so all that is left is the memory of said playlist) - the general Alex playlist is LONG, like by now 80+ songs long, because simply everything that fits goes in there. Part of that is 2000s eurodance and techno stuff (Scooter, you know?) because Alex&Tonks love to go dancing to such stuff to have an outlet and balance for the rather cruel work stuff they face daily (and because I clearly grew up in the 90s&2000s and I know no shame). And because I myself need a boost me up gym playlist, I put all the party stuff into the extra playlist, when I'm in the need for good old dopamine. :D

#fic talk: Spiegelbilder #fic talk: Mass Effect #reda shepard #alex dancy #tonks #thank you for the ask dear!

Eurovision and Eurodance

There's been a lot questions lately about the Eurovision Song Contest thanks to a certain popular Eurodance meme (which btw, the chorus to that song is very similar to a Eurovision song:

"Flying the Flag" by Scooch (United Kingdom 2007 - 22nd Place)

Also simply know as Eurovison or ESC, it's a televised music competition held by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) members that began in 1956 to bring Europe together after WWII.

I want to stress that any genre of music can be a Eurovision song. As long has it has some lyrics. Not every entry is trying to be a meme and there's several songs you might know that you didn't know were Eurovision songs, ranging from "Volare" to Duncan Laurence's "Arcade' (which you might know as "loving you is a losing game" from TikTok). And also "Waterloo" by ABBA!

Eurodance at Eurovision

Up until 1999, Eurovision had a live orchestra, and most of the music was performed live. Arguably the first Eurodance song at ESC, "Ooo Aah… Just a Little Bit" had to a have computers on stage to have the "instruments" present:

"Ooh Aah… Just A Little Bit" by Gina G (United Kingdom 1996 - 8th place)

Thus, ESC was still mostly focused on pop that translated well with live instruments in the late '90s. And into the 2000s when backing tracks were required, the upbeat genre that ESC was more into was what I'd classify as "ethno bangers." Not that there isn't some crossover into what's traditionally referred to as "Eurodance" and many dance subgenres, but it was not quite the same thing, at least in my opinion. Your personal criteria may vary - I want to stress I'm not the authority on the minutiae of musical genres (and here's a post on Eurobeat vs. Eurodance btw).

Today, ESC still requires live lead vocals (and backing vocals had to live up until 2021), and being that the songs are performed live on TV, you'll hear some shakier vocals on my following examples… (although for anything from 2016 onward I didn't use the ESC performances due to geoblocking). Not to say that dance breaks haven't been popular in the last few years, and that choreography hasn't been heavy, especially with ethno bangers, but just that Eurodance hasn't always lended itself to having polished and flawless executions.

And of course, there are plenty of songs that I feel do fit the Eurodance category, including some performed by big names, such as:

"Follow My Heart" by Ich Troje feat. Real McCoy (Poland 2006 - Did not qualify for the final)

"Look Away" by Darude feat. Sebastian Rejman (Finland 2019 - DNQ)

"Vampires Are Alive" by DJ Bobo (Switzerland 2007 - DNQ)

"Glorious" by Cascada (Germany 2013 - 21st)

"Ne Ver Ne Boysia Ne Prosi" by t.A.T.u. (Russia 2003 - 3rd)

"Don't Play That Song Again" by Nicki French (United Kingdom 2000 - 16th)

A lot of ESC songs fall under the genre of schlager, as well as songs I'd classify as just EDM, and some with dubstep, especially as time has gone on. Many of the following songs to me are more a mix of genres than purely "Eurodance", but I think people seeking out similar songs will enjoy these:

"No Goodbyes" by Linda Wagenmakers (Netherlands 2000 - 13th)

"Sameyach" by PingPong (Israel 2000 - 22nd)

"No Dream Impossible" by Lindsay Dracass (United Kingdom 2001 - 15th)

"1 Life" by Xandee (Belgium 2004 - 22nd)

"Let Me Try" by Luminita Anghel & Sistem (Romania 2005 - 3rd)

"Tornerò" by Mihai Traistariu (Romania 2006 - 4th)

"This Is My Life" by Euroband (Iceland 2008 - 14th)

"Wolves of the Sea" by Pirates of the Sea (Latvia 2008 - 11th)

"DJ, Take Me Away" by Deep Zone & Balthazar (Bulgaria 2008 - DNQ)

"Lose Control" by Waldo's People (Finland 2009 - 25th)

"Run Away" by Sunstroke Project & Olia Tira (Moldova 2010 - 22nd; "Epic Sax Guy")

"Je Ne Sais Quoi" by Hera Björk (Iceland 2010 - 19th)

"Love Unlimited" by Sofi Marinova (Bulgaria 2012 - DNQ)

"It's My Life" by Cezar (Romania 2013 - 13th)

"Miracle" by Paula Seling & Ovi (Romania 2014 - 12th)

"Spirit in the Sky" by KEiiNO (Norway 2019 - 6th; Televote Winner; here's most of their performance in the grand final here if you are geoblocked)

"Halo" by LUM!X feat. Pia Maria (Austria 2022 - DNQ; co-written Gabry Ponte of Eiffel 65)

And two bonus videos:

Aqua's interval at Eurovision 2001

"I Love You" by Teflon Brothers x Pandora (Finnish Selection UMK - 2021)

And you might know two time champion Loreen, whose song this year is more pop to me than EDM or Eurodance, but it feels weird not to mention "Euphoria" (although I feel it's more straight up EDM, but again, mileage may vary):

"Euphoria" by Loreen (Sweden 2012 - Winner)

"Tattoo" by Loreen (Sweden 2023 - Winner)

While Eurovision does not equal Eurodance, there's still some fun jams, and again, many songs I included here that I feel straddle genres.

#didn't you used to be able to embed 10 videos in a post? anyway hope you enjoy #and disclaimer: this is all my opinion as a long time ESC viewer #and there's many dance genres etc. #but I don't consider the ethno bangers to be 'Eurodance' so that's why there are not here #I definitely overthought this whoops #eurovision #mirai's text posts #(also I do still hate the new post editor)

[posthumanis]

Hi! My name is Lina Kythera, and I'm an Asturian NB gal. I really don't know how this site works even already owning some older accounts just to read stuff from other people, but I hope y'all enjoy what I post here. I also had some writings in wordpress and other blogs, and I'm in Twitter (@NunSoiYo), but mainly for politics and other topics.

I intend to develop a creative space here, give room for my thoughts, tell some of my vital experiences being a non monogamous trans sapphic, and of course, being annoyingly extra and intense *little nervous laugh*

It's likely that most of my posts are NSFW, horny or with explicit sexual content, but mainly from an "erotic art" approach rather than plain pornographic content. This is important for me, since I want to create a safe space not only for me, but also every person who may be reading this, so: please, +18.

I love music (alternative rock, punk, goth, no wave, industrial, rock and electronica from the 1970s, 1990s and early 2000s, but sometimes twerking to La Villana or Bad Bunny or dancing rave eurodance is everything I need), I like films and the notion that there's art beyond Hollywood (David Lynch? What? Hollywood? No way), and occasionally playing videogames. I'm currently trying to read more books, but having studied English Philology (and you can appreciate my autistic/ADHD efforts in building complex sentences) makes it difficult for me to engage in reading and writing activities, mainly. I'm starting to change that input 'cause I really love writing. I intend to always have an open eye to many other artistic disciplines, like painting or sculpture, perhaps because I'm a hyper empathetic person and I find it easier than other people to connect with works from many diverse authors, and grasp their ideas and insights — definitively not trying that with mf JK Rowling. I'm telling all of these silly things in case you see me mentally ill online scrolling and reblogging so many inconsistent but cool stuff.

I don't know if there's anything else unmentioned, for instance, about any CWs (I usually forget mines lol), but I'll try to remind you of them if necessary on every post I can. Be safe, have fun and remember: nobody expects the T4T inquisition.

Today’s compilation:

Just the Best 4/2000 2000 Pop / Eurodance / House / Europop / Pop-Rap / R&B / Alternative Rock / Downtempo / Hard Rock / Indie Rock / Pop-Punk / Trance / Progressive Trance / Latin / Novelty / UK Garage / Britpop

God, do I really love going through these Now That's What I Call Music-type comps from Europe. Late 90s/early 2000s releases like these always make for such fun, eclectic trips down memory lane, but from the perspective of a different region of the world. Our top 40 charts in America share a lot in common with other places, and that leads to a nice nostalgia rush for everyone involved, but there's also a lot of music we don't share in common at all. So the goal when listening to these ephemeral things is to get some of that good nostalgia, discover a few sweet tracks that you weren’t previously familiar with, and then hopefully find something so patently absurd and terrible that you can't help but smile at how ridiculous it is. And fortunately, I was able to tick all three of those boxes with this 26th dispatch from Germany's Just the Best series, although those latter two categories ended up being fulfilled to a much lesser extent.

So, first, the nostalgia: those Swedish-produced teen pop acts like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and 'N SYNC lead the way. There was a time in my life when I loved those songs, then a time in my life when I hated them, and now I'm back to loving them again, and not even really from a nostalgic standpoint. The production on so many of those tunes is actually genuinely fantastic; just so lush and so intricate. Go back and listen to them if you still need convincing. Max Martin and his Swedish disciples were spinning pop gold back then, and many of us turned up our noses at it, but I've been a total convert for a while now, so join me, won't you?

More nostalgia: America slept super hard on Craig David. "Fill Me In" is his most remembered song, and I don't even think it's really all *that* remembered. And even more forgotten was "7 Days." It was a top-ten hit on Billboard's Hot 100, but I feel like most Americans aren't even aware that it exists. This British dude could've been our R&B king and it's kind of inexplicable to me that he wasn't. Amazing voice and great, unique productions.

Also, did you know that catchy song "Around the World (La La La La La)" by German group ATC is an English-language ripoff cover of a Russian Eurodance song from 1998 called "Pesenka" by Ruki Vverh!? Now you do!

Plus, we've also got "Jumpin', Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child on here, "Porcelain" by Moby—possibly the greatest single off of an amazing album that was chock full of pretty much nothing but great singles—and the post-Britpop bop, "Dancing in the Moonlight" by Toploader, a song with a very early 2010s kind of vibe that actually came out in '99.

Now for the sweet tunes I'd never heard before as well as the so-bad-it's-good stuff. First is this song that kind of sits between both categories: an irresistible cotton candy fluff of Euro-cheer from Austria's Marque called "Electronic Lady" that blends 80s new wave/synthpop and Euro-disco vibes and kind of sounds like if Robbie Williams was channeling some kind of ABBA phase, but with an extra coating of sugar (🎶Just press "Yes" and I'll be on your screeeeeeeeen!🎶). And then there's this piece of Eurodance trash by this German guy called Kosmonova, who lays these big indigenous flute melodies over a pumping Euro-backbeat. A solid dose of purely bad and silly fun with that one.

Always an enjoyable ride with these compilations. Was hoping for a little bit more of that mindless Eurotrash absurdity, but there's still a good nostalgia rush to be had here anyway. Plus that Marque song is a total fucking pop music bop!
