that gadulka shashtar solo takes the cake. I had to research the exact instrument because they have similar shaped ones with different number of strings throughout Eastern Europe and the Eurasian republics. I think this is the tar or shashtar, but I’ll obsess over it until I’m certain. So far I have three favorite songs from Eurovision, this one from Azerbaijan; Iceland, VÆB – RÓA which also has an epic trad violin solo; and Australia, Milkshake Man for the style and humour.

Just an illusion (original basis for epic interpolation)
the Weeknd, I’m Love With a Starboy interpolates a hook from this song from the 80s.
This is an example of sort-up upbeat songs containing vulnerable element that is super melancholic and reminds of some sort of disillusionment, or coming out of the wrong dream or something tragic like that… I can’t pin it.
And This
honestly, the soundtrack of Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 slays so far. It is a major improvement from previous years. It would be helpful to have an official playlist on Spotify.
NUEVAYol, Bad Bunny
Puerto Rico never felt so close. Also love Baile Inolvidable, Café con Ron y La Mudanza.
Saraswati’s Twerkaba, Shapeshifting Included
Calling Bear Intro
a short intro to my album Calling Bear, initially inspired by the real estate bubble in Toronto, but then it got much much darker, so I may rename it Palmtree On The Moon. Never a good idea to poke a bear during hibernation…
Interdimensional Pirates Serve Heart-Shaped Pancakes
now that st-valentines is over, love songs are back on the menu. Strolling through low-rise art deco architecture with a pinch in my heart to my song Heart-Shaped Pancakes (or Mi Amor if you want, the title is not set in stone yet).
Morning Meditation
waking up to my song Mente y Corazon
I know this site may collapse from my addition of videos to it, but always remember: I owe you absolutely nothing! This is hell after all. It is supposed to be buggy.
