ALBUM-A-DAY AND MUSIC SHUFFLE NOSTALGIA - 20210505

I admit I was a little trepidatious about listening to this album today because I had forgotten how much I liked it. Today's album is from Schwarz Stein, called New age children, released in 2003. I remember listening to the first song on this album and being like OH YEAH this is good. Kaya's voice combined with the digital rhythms is such a great mix. I very much enjoyed listening to it today and being inspired to find the albums I don't have saved and being sad that I don't know where to look to download anymore. I would buy but I found an album that was basically $99. I'm not paying that much. I'm not made of money lol.

 

And my Music Shuffle Nostalgia ended up being Madonna's album "Something to Remember" from 1995. I remember wanting this album because it featured the song that was on the soundtrack for the movie, A League of Their Own, which is such a good movie. I think that this album is probably one of my favorites of hers. 

So if you have any suggestions for communities that share music from Japanese, Chinese and Korean artists, I would be grateful.

Thank you for your time!

ALBUM-A-DAY AND MUSIC SHUFFLE NOSTALGIA - 20210506

 Today's Album-A-Day pre-chosen music artists now includes Olivia, which I know I just posted about her inspi'Reira album last week but when the album came up on my shuffle, I completely forgot because I was too excited about listening to that album. So here, have another. Olivia Lufkin, aka OLIVIA, released Synchronicity in 2000. It's definitely a different flavor from her inspi'Reira sound, but it's still good to listen to. She is more experimental in some of the music she writes, as will be featured in some of her minialbums that we'll be listening to later on, but overall I enjoy her music and can say she is a favorite music artist of mine. Some of my favorites off this album are definitely the more mainstream songs, like Dekinai, Color of Your Spoon, Escape the Flames and the first press bonus track, Mint.

For Music Shuffle Nostalgia, I ended up pulling this gem of an album. It's a remix, I'm not sure if it's official or not, but it's organized by Yigytugd and called BoA Best of Angel, released 2009. It's a remix/mashup album of BoA's English release and various other songs. Like the first track is Did Ya Buddha's Delight, which mashes the song Buddha's Delight from the movie Music & Lyrics with Did Ya and it's probably my favorite alongside of the remix of Hypnotic Dancefloor (DJ Amaya vs. Groovebot's Club Remix). I definitely enjoyed listening to this album.

That's it for Thursday. Another shameless request for recommendations to journal communities who "talk" about general Jpop/rock, Cpop(rock?), and Kpop/rock. I think you can send a direct message to my inbox if commenting makes you uncomfortable.

Thank you for reading!
