Notes

I apologise in advance for the sheer dissonance for the choices made in this week’s playlist inclusions, but I suppose that in itself was a journey that left across any logic apart from a whim.

We start of the week with Umeko Ando, and Ainu singer who was brought to my attention through Vaatividya’s video, 25 Surprising Secrets in Elden Ring! in the chapter, Hymn of the Bats. Sadly, Ainu is also a language facing extinction and who knows how it may be preserved.

I then had a desire to explore the genre of Eurobeat because of all the deja vu drifting memes, my favourite being the one where a Mazda Miata winks at the camera before drifting off. This leads down a road of high bpm synthesiser compositions that give a sense of high energy and rose-coloured nostalgia of the late nineties and early noughts.

Other than the sheer obnoxiousness of this curation, it was also Singapore’s general election over the weekend and it’s probably the election that I did the most reading up on to better understanding who I was voting for, why I was voting for them, and my own relationship to the society I’m plugged into.
