I am glad you discovered them! That LP is one of my more favored listens by them!

A couple of neat covers I discovered for myself recently. I think they're fairly famous but I hadn't heard them before. I'd listened to Bauhaus and enjoyed them but I had no idea their Ziggy Stardust went so hard.

The original:
For a few weeks now Ive been going through my entire collection of 13000+ music tracks Ive accumulated over the years from top to bottom to listen to all of the songs shuffle doesn't ever randomize to.
But recently Ive been listening a lot to The Killers' Hot Fuss album and Arctic Monkeys' Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino album again.
Particularly,
and
Its been 4 years since TBH&C and Im still obsessed. Gone from constantly listening to the A-sides, to the B-sides, and back again. I spent a good 2 years straight religiously listening to Batphone.

If I'm allowed to revive a 3 week old thread, this FFXIV cover has been on repeat. It's from the latest 24-player raid.

I don't think there's an issue with "necroing" a thread unless it's to be unkind or cause drama, which would not be welcome on new posts, either!
I haven't been listening to music as much recently (except revisiting my Homestuck playlist, which is less relevant to members of this forum, lmao) but I'm a fan of ASMR Twix's YouTube channel, which is relaxing to listen to and great Japanese listening practice: https://youtube.com/@asmrtwix
This video is one of my favorites:
ETA: Posting this reminded me I never finished watching a more recent one, and this is also fun! These are great for trying to recognize vocabulary, especially for parts of the body (face, eyes, etc) and colors.

”lonely hero“(my translation name)
"Battle of Two Cities" is a League of Legends animation made to celebrate China's EDG winning the championship, and this song is the theme song
It expresses: When you have doubts, you go out for a while. When you can't make up your mind, it's better to be brave and do what you want to do. Those who are not perfect have flaws, people are not sages, and those who are not perfect are the kings who dare to fight against fate in the mud.
Even if there is only one person in this world, there is still no fear of facing all these things. I will still be very brave. In this world, everyone is lonely, but as long as you keep moving forward, at the end, Everyone will be able to see your bravery.
This line of lyrics is full of power, and it has touched the tears of countless people, and it has broken the defenses of many lonely strugglers. In the whole society, according to the 80-20 law, most of the low-level people are even more busy, and the world is in a panic, just trying to smash a few taels of money, that's all. Although the century-old loess is a handful of sand, but to live is to fight for life.
I believe that every little person has a big dream at first, but under the burden of life, their dream has always become a distant dream. Day after day, year after year of trivial matters also wear down their efforts, and finally, every ordinary person almost becomes humble to live.
There is also a translation of the lyrics:
It's all brave
The wounds on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you've made
Don't have to hide
Your worn-out dolls, your masks, your selves
They say to carry the light and tame every beast
They say to sew up your wounds No one loves a clown
Why loneliness is not glorious
People are only imperfect and worth singing about
Who says a man covered in dirt is not a hero
Love the way you walk alone in a dark alley
Love the way you don't kneel
Love the way you confront despair
I love the way you won't cry
Love your tattered clothes
But you dare to block the gun of fate
Love that you and I are so much alike
The gaping holes are the same
Do you deserve this ragged cloak?
Fight? Fight? With the humblest of dreams
To the whimper and roar of the night
Who says that only those who stand in the light are heroes?
They say to quit your madness
Like wiping away the dirt
They say to go up the steps
And the price is to bow your head
Then let me not... ride the wind.
You're just as proud of that lonely courage
Who says the ordinary game is not heroic
I love the way you walk alone in the dark alley
I love the way you don't kneel
Love the way you confront despair
Refusing to cry
Love your tattered clothes
But you dare to block the gun of fate
Love that you and I are so much alike
The gaping holes are the same
Do you deserve this ragged cloak?
Fight? Fight? With the humblest of dreams
To the whimper and roar of the night
Who says that only those who stand in the light are heroes?
Your drabness is different
Your silence is deafening
You Are The Hero
Love the way you walk alone in the dark alley
Love the way you don't kneel
Love the way you confront despair
Refusing to cry
Love you from the wilderness
You will not borrow the light of anyone in your life
You will make your city-state
On top of the ruins
Go, go, with the humblest dream
Fight, fight, with the tallest dream
To the whimpering and roaring of the night
Who says that only those who stand in the light are heroes?

I don't know if there is an English version but anyway: the Chinese version is sung by my favorite Chinese singer: Eason Chan
I've been watching Vinland Saga during my morning run/workout and this OP is highly effective on the treadmill.

This one found its way to my Spotify algorithm, I think bc I have been listening to a lot of QOTSA since seeing them in July. Great show. I love the progression of this song.
Discovered this band recently, was really surprised to learn they were so popular and new.
Was browsing some old songs and totally forgot Mexico had this whole indie/alternative rock scene.
