For four years between 2022 April 26 ( https://mastodon.social/@mcc/108199886340178151 ) and 2026 April 26 ( https://mastodon.social/@mcc/116472563618024737 ) I posted a music recommendation basically every day here in a gratuitously long thread I split every time it started to break the server. Due to a mix of exhaustion and four years being a nice round number, I decided to stop there. So the music thread is over, and it is not coming back. I am done with it. Anyway here's some music recommendations

What I'm listening to today: "Fuck Off Money", Mogwai (Alessandro Cortini rework)

The kings of a certain era of post-rock remixed by the guy who produced the synths on With Teeth in the 00s and triggered a Buchla revival in the 10s. This was released around the time Cortini started designing commercial synthesizers with Make Noise and I kinda suspect I hear the Strega in the mix here.

Smooth, calm, quirky, this song was the most comforting thing in my life in 2021-2022

What I'm listening to today: "Hyper Yellow Thrash", POWER OF IDEA

A real gem of a borderline punk/metal album from 1997 (I'm sure if I knew less about techno and more about punk I could place a microgenre exactly). Two very nice ladies scream through 27 minutes of songs with names like "PUNK RACISM" and "WHO IS CAPITALIST?". If that's too many minutes the first couple songs (combined length 2:09) are the best. Lovely fluid flow, lovely blastbeats. It's normal for girls
