Why am I here?
Anyways i’ve been wanting to create a chill space where I can share the artists, songs, and random obsessions that have felt like 300mg of caffeine for my brain lately. Think of this as my running note of what’s in my music rotation, who you should keep an eye on, and the little side quests I’ve been doing outside of music. Basically, it’s my yaps on the record each month (or week we’ll see how often I do this).
1. Here’s 3 Artists you should be listening to (or at least checking out)
RM47: I found them on TikTok (where I find most of my music tbh). They’re this duo who kinda makes electronic indie? Idk I’m not the best with navigating genres BUT their sound is really good and I personally would love to see them collab with Kaytranada. Two songs I’ve been blasting and that I’d recommend for you to check out from their new album are: KNOCK KNOCK & D.W.U.
Placard: Once again, another artist I found on TikTok. He first popped up on my fyp from his song ivy league bound. It samples the song Young by Vacations. Placard’s flip is pitched down and it somehow adds a sadder feel to it (in a good way). If you’re into indie music, definitely give him a listen.
Nick AM: Last but not least, I present to you an artist who I’m actually doing a school project on. A peer told me about his music and I thought I’d give him a listen while I did my random anxiety exposure therapy of the week (walking alone in the mall). I don’t typically listen to EDM on a regular basis but I do enjoy it on occasion and a couple of his songs got added to my September ‘25 playlist. Some songs I’d recommend are bala, Die for You, & Fatale.
Personal Jams:
This month in my personal life, there’s been a mix of experimenting and spiraling (in the best way). I’ve been really playing with my new purchase that definitely put me in credit card debt, the SP-404MKII. Do I fully know what I’m doing? Absolutely not. But I’ll get there. I think it’s more fun that way though. If you wanna hear more about my experience with it I have a YouTube vid about it coming out in the next week.
Outside of music, I’ve been obsessed with watching Sims 4 content from Dey’s YouTube channel. It’s the perfect background noise when I’m working on homework or need to decompress honestly.
And because I promised myself I’d be honest here, one of my biggest wins lately is slowly conquering my anxiety in new places. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m really proud of myself (y’all have no idea it used to be diabolically bad).
Anyways that’s it for now. BYYYYYYYE have a nice day :D
