This is specifically the version of the song from from YMO's live album, After Service, that was released in 1984. The original is fantastic as well but this version improves on even that. The crazy synths, the punchy drums, the loud buzz throughout the song in place of the sharper ting in the original, and in particular the much clearer and more present vocals are what endear me to this version so much more. It's also so impressive to me how a live version of a song can sound this good. I'm usually not one for live performances but this album in its entirety is fantastic.

Week 2: 5.18.25 - 5.24.25

Skull Pop - GT Ultra (2017) - Guerilla Toss

GT Ultra is an album that I forget exists but as soon as I remember it does I listen to it on repeat for weeks at a time. It was picking between Skull Pop's insane instrumentation and Dog in the Mirror's vocals. I really love the drumming on Skull Pop which is what got it the pick. :3
Really loving their newest song Psychosis Is Just A Number!

Week 1: 5.11.25 - 5.17.25

Poppy - Pirouette (2025) - Model/Actriz
I've been obsessed with the entirety of Pirouette since its release, but singing along to Poppy has been particularly fun. Cole's vocals hit a different level on this track and the instrumentation is one of the best on the album in my opinion - in particular the faster paced parts at 1:16 and 2:21 really hit me.
