Week 16 of 2026
Somehow I’m still not fully recovered from sickness. Still taking things slower than usual.
Started looking for a job in Málaga, Spain. I hope to find a nice gig 🤞.
My family gave me Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk on vinyl. A modern classic.
Went to the cinema for the screening of the April 18 BTS concert in Japan. Some songs from the second part of the latest album that originally didn’t convince me improve in the context of a live concert.
Listened to
Albums/EPs:
- Favorite of the week: Yves - NAIL. The 4th EP from Yves where she continues to move into a more alternative electronic sound. Only 5 songs, I hope the next comeback is a full album
Recently released singles:
- Favorite of the week: Yves - NAIL (feat.Lolo Zouaï). The title track from her new EP
- BE BOYS - SLAM DUNK. Some nice beat changes, like the part with a tempo slowdown
- cosmosy - Silence ~ body & soul ~
- HITGS - Cherry Blossom
- ifeye - Hazy (Daisy). I like most K-Pop songs with a D&B beat
- KEYVITUP - KEYVITUP. That classic Pop boygroup sound
