It's the 2022 Brave New Faves Listeners Poll!
What music did you like this year? What a complicated question, as it turns out! Music is deeply personal, and often what sparks that "special love connection" between you and your favourite song wasn't even the music itself. Was it a particular combination of notes that you fell in love with, or was it where you were and the experiences you were having when you heard it? After all, who doesn't have a favourite song, or commercial jingle from their childhood? Music very literally soundtracks our lives — we hear it in stores, tiktoks, video games, twitch streams, lofi hip hop beats to study to playlists — but we rarely purposely choose the music in those situations. We know the human brain loves patterns (so much so it often creates them out of thin air!) so surely our connection loving neurons are just looking for the perfect collision of stimuli, and grabbing whatever happens to be playing at the time and making that music into a special beloved song? But then again, we don't all have warm holiday memories associated with "All I want for Christmas is you" despite its absolutely crushing ubiquity. And some people seem to enjoy all sorts of strange squonks and squeals that other people really don't seem to enjoy. So surely that means deep somewhere in your brain, some specific tone, a particular arrangements of notes, some sort of noise that appeals to you in a way that few other noises do. Can all that really be explained away by saying "that's just how brains work"? Thankfully this is a year end music survey, not an essay on neuroscience or epistemology. (I'm not prepared to do that much research) I just want to know what you liked! At the end of the day, music is nice. We enjoy listening to it. It's special to us, regardless of what causes us to feel that way. What music was special to you this year?
Jonathan MannMy son, who's 8, created this level for me in Geometry Dash.
It uses an 8bit version of Still Alive by @JonathanCoulton (a song he knows I love). He painstakingly added all the lyrics, word by word, even making his own Aperture Science Logo in-game.
I am so proud.
@deviantollam , I had really good luck with this recommendation from @seamusblackley … https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/29/a-new-tool-movetodon-makes-it-easier-to-find-your-twitter-friends-on-mastodon/
