Exploring New and Old Music: A Seoer's Latest Discoveries
As an SEO professional, my ear is always out for new music that resonates with my audience. It's exciting to revisit old favorites while exploring fresh tunes that capture the spirit of the times. Here’s a look at what I’ve been listening to lately, along with some of my most cherished musical findings.
The Current Obsessions and Old Rock Vibes
My current obsession with Hozier has me diving into his discography repeatedly. Nevertheless, I still take pleasure in the comforting classics of my beloved rock. In fact, most of David Bowie's discography still holds a special place in my heart. More recently, I've been drawn to Lou Reed's raw and distinctive sound. It's clear there's a resurgence in my love for my 'old' rock vibes, with a notable boost from the re-visitations of classic albums like The Beatles' Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper.
Toploader and Uplifting Beats
Toploader, with their upbeat and positive tunes, have become a new addition to my playlist. Uncommon for me, these upbeat, generally happy songs offer a fresh vibe that matches my current musical tastes. While the band is not new, their music is somewhat new to me, highlighting the dynamic nature of my music preferences.
Discoveries from the Past Year
Over the past year, I've dug into some really good music that had been forgotten or overlooked. Girlschool, Fanny, Runaways, and Missing Persons have all been reminders of the GoGo's legacy. My YouTube playlists overflow with songs I love, and there are approximately 15 CDs in my car, a testament to my love for music. Despite the monotony of radio airwaves, my diverse music collection ensures a variety of genres to suit every mood.
Far Far Jethro Tull
Music discovery can be a journey, and I'm thrilled to have found a new appreciation for Jethro Tull. After getting a five-pack of their albums as a birthday gift, my wife and I have been exploring these classics together. 'Orion,' '…And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps,' 'Fire at Midnight,' 'Beastie,' and 'Cross-Eyed Mary' have all been favorites, each finding a special place in my heart and driving routine.
Throwback to Rage Against the Machine
When it comes to political and cultural tattoos, 'Guerilla Radio' by Rage Against the Machine is always a hit. It's the kind of music that fuels the imagination and energizes the spirit. Even I, not an anarcho-communist, can appreciate the raw talent and passion in this track.
Beastie Boys and Autumn Vibes
Time travel might not be possible, but with a little help from a playlist, I can step back in time with 'You Gotta Fight for Your Right To Party!' from the Beastie Boys. This tune is perfect for a late-night ponderation or a peaceful evening, especially when the weather is crisp and autumn is in the air.
Winter and Reflection
The changing seasons have a profound effect on the music I listen to. 'The Tip of the Iceberg' by Owl City perfectly captures the charm of fall, with hints of what's to come. 'Again' from Third Eye Blind has been stuck in my head, reflecting on constant loops and endless reflections. 'Ooh La La' by Faces brings nostalgia and a sense of longing, especially after a month without seeing my baby daughter. Each song evokes a specific mood and emotion, shaping my daily soundtrack.
From old favorites to new discoveries, my music collection is a tapestry of moments, emotions, and adventures. It's incredibly rewarding to share this journey with you, and I hope you find some nuggets of inspiration in these selections.
