if you dont mind sharing, what are some of your favorite ska songs/bands?
I will admit I am not a huge band person I tend to be more of a "pick whatever random songs sound good" person, so I can't recommend any good bands. I also listen to Ska Punk, which is a subgenre of Ska... and Punk. So I am not a good authority on Ska songs to listen to I am just someone who is banned from being passed the aux cord...
But some of my favorite songs include:
No Children - Ska (cover)
Quinto Patio Ska
Everything Went Numb
S F D D
And songs by Reel Big Fish tbh. I know I just said I don't listen to specific bands but Reel Big Fish has some pretty good songs like...
Sell Out
And their Take on Me cover
Here's my disclaimer, though: I am not into music subcultures I just listen to whatever sounds good (and jazzy punk with horns sounds good), so I could be giving absolutely awful music recommendations that anyone who is especially into Ska (and more specifically Ska Punk) might find egregious. I personally just grab whatever song sounds good and add them to my forever long playlist.
Also the Jabberjaw (Running Underwater) song from Pain used for the Cartoon Network Boomerang Groovies is probably the reason I enjoy Ska punk so much, and it has been in my playlist for years now:
If nothing else in this list interests you, I require everyone by law to listen to Jabberjaw Running Under Water by pain and watch the Cartoon Network Boomerang Groovie video of it. I used to watch Boomerang a million times, and this was probably the only Groovie I really enjoyed watching and didn't go to the bathroom during.

i can picture it perfectly, crowley has just seen aziraphale for the first time after their kiss/breakup and aziraphale is seemingly lost to heaven’s will. they talk past each other, get angry, and part again. crowley drives away and his anger dissolves into defeat. and then the bentley starts to play (what else) Queen - Love Of My Life.
(bonus points if the instrumental intro bit plays over scenes of aziraphale trying to look unphased)

helloooooooooo, 1, 10, 20, 55, 99 and 100 for the spotify wrapped!!!! 💖
Thank you, Alya!!
1. It's Called: Freefall by Paris Paloma
Anyway, you say you're too busy
Saving everybody else to save yourself
And you don't want no help, oh, well
That's the story to tell
10. Still Sane by Lorde
I'm not in the swing of things
But what I really mean is
Not in the swing of things yet
20. Siren 042 by Lala Lala, WHY?
And I'm sorry I was evil
I'm in trouble from before
Sometimes I feel like other people
I don't remember anymore
55. Crane Your Neck [Still Hungry Version] by Lady Lamb
And if you're crying by the moon, in the sun you better lift up that chin
Twist your hips
And crane your neck
Twist your hips
And bend your body back
You've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it
99. Evergreen by Richy Mitch and the Coal Miners
Locked in a stalemate
With a man who bars no holds
Rock and a hard place
He's battering control
100. Paint by The Paper Kites
We were standing at the foot of the path
I had to go back, I had to go back
I chose to travel as a lonely man
So much that I lacked, so much that I lacked

Have you listened to Ay-Yo or the other new singles part of NCT 127’s repackaged album? I always enjoy diving into your perspective on groups artistic vision! I never really gave them much time but was sucked into their recent music (I think it’s because of Dem Jointz and Kenzie who helped produce some of the album??). The AY MV wasn’t as flashy as 2 Baddies but I do love a cunt moment and Taeyong delivered for me. I am now so curious about NCT!! You’ve mentioned before that they’re one of the backbones of 4th gen. What do you think it is about the group that has established them beyond others? I appreciate that the songs are experimental and unafraid. The music videos always feel like being sucked into an intense video game and I am here for it lol. Thanks for running such a thoughtful blog btw! Most times I feel like I’m in a little island with too many thoughts but it’s always a fun time checking out your posts.
yes! i love ay yo and the new songs on the repack! skyscraper is my fave of the three but i also really dig dj. dem jointz has actually produced quite a few of 127's title tracks, including cherry bomb, punch, kick it, sticker, and some bsides like right now, time lapse, designer, and nct dream's arcade! kenzie has also done a few 127 tracks including limitless, favourite, and several of my all time fave nct songs ok! and music dance.
sm obvs has big three privilege and for a reason, they have a really long history as one of the founding pillars of the industry since they pretty much invented it. bc of the company's status and their consistency with training their idols + the legacy of the popularity of their groups + the quality of their music, any new group that sm debuts automatically garners a lot of attention, both from the gp and from others in the industry. because of that, they tend to be imitated just by nature of having that much publicity, but nct made a splash with weird choreo and ''noise'' music. the seventh sense was a very unusual debut and no one's managed to level up to it since, even if nct wasn't exactly doing anything that new for the era they debuted in. they're spiritually continuing f(x)'s musical legacy, and the weird choreo + acrobatics of late third gen you can see in other groups that debuted in 2016, like knk and sf9. it's just that they had the higher visibility and outlasted a lot of other groups, so the combination of all those factors is what solidified them as being a significant influence on the subsequent generations.

Tbh my favourite thing about rewatching lazy in space is that on the first viewing, everything seems like disconnected nonsense that just happens for the sake of whimsy. But when you give each episode a second viewing you realise that each of them has a loose core theme that ties all the nonsense together and relates to the show's whole ethos about the difficulties of growing into an adult and the responsibilities that come with it. Yeah a lot of stuff is still random nonsense that goes unexplained but that's just par for the course with bapc. Lazy in space is actually a lot tighter in the writing department than I first thought, and that I think a lot of ppl seeing it for the first time thought!
