I've earwormed myself with it for the last few days, heh.

Making an exception for Miles seems entirely reasonable!

Billie's cover - works really well with just an acoustic guitar for accompaniment!

Day 18: Phantogram - "You Don't Get Me High Anymore"

I kinda prefer their earlier trip-hoppier stuff, but this track from 2016's "Three" is undeniably an alt pop banger!

While posting this I discovered Billie Eilish did a stripped down cover I'll post in thread

Music by Numbers Day 140

"140yaku" - Oyubi

Genre: Footwork

Lastfm and Oyubi's bandcamp say this is "footwork". Footwork, juke, and ghettotech all seem to be offshoots of Detroit techno, but I am not well educated in this area, so forgive me if this is wrong! 😅

Day 17: Tim Hecker - "Castrati Stack"

I love Tim Hecker. It's not ambient, as it kinda attacks your autonomic nervous system. But it's not, not ambient.

If I have to beam messages to people in the past, à la "Prince of Darkness", I'll soundtrack it with this!

This week's albums!

Revisited Pressure Drop's "Elusive" - an underrated absolute gem of 90s trip-hop. 😻

Loathe, who're usually alt metal, do great atmospheric post-rock/ambient on "The Things They Believe".

Tzusing does Zamilska-adjacent industrial techno that is very relevant to my interests! 😈

Hah, I'd been about to google that first post to see if it was Bradbury, or maybe Robert Silverburg!
