In the Interest of Transparency: Aquatic Music (Themed Playlist)

The Water-Fall "With what deep murmurs through time’s silent stealth Doth thy transparent, cool, and wat’ry wealth Here flowing fall, And chide, and call, As if his liquid, loose retinue stay’d Ling’ring, and were of this steep place afraid; The common pass Where, clear as glass, All must descend Not to an end, But quicken’d by this deep and rocky grave, Rise to a longer course more bright and brave …" - Henry Vaughan As I completed the top tracks of the year posts (2010 - 2022) that I had been working on for well over a month, I thought it was time for another themed playlist. The genres represented on this list are varied, as are the moods, textures, and themes. The sequencing of the picks is very intentional, so I recommend listening in order. Thank you! 1.

Top 10 Worst Songs of the 2010s

Too much positivity on this blog so far! Here's a healthy dose of songs I loathe. Not all of these are objectively  the worst things ever (though I would argue some of them are...ok, maybe most of them), but I despise them all for various reasons. Remember, these are just my opinions, and I don't think any less of you as a person if you enjoy one or more of these. I'm not reviewing these, but on a few I'll provide a bit of explanation.

Honorable Mention: Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Phonat Remix) 10. Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars  ||  Released 2014  ||  Dance Pop  ||   ... the point I started to hate modern Coldplay. I'm a huge apologist against snobs who take shots at their earlier stuff, and even Mylo , but I can't stand this song. 9. LMFAO - Sorry for Party Rocking  ||  Released 2012  ||  Electro House 8.

Top 50 Songs of the 2020s (so far)

Just my opinions, of course. There have been many, many great songs released from 2020 to now. 2021 in particular was a very strong year for music. I'm limiting this list to one per album to keep things interesting. I'll list the artist, song name, album the song is from, genre, release year, and a couple of appropriate descriptors. Hope you find something intriguing from this list! (Note: Ökenpromenad by  lilla gubben is not available on topsters, and so the above image is one album cover off.) 50.

Black Wing - Bollywood Apologetics  ||  No Moon  ||  Track 1  ||  Darkwave  ||  Released 2020  ||  depressive, dark 48. Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine - Cimmerian Shade  ||  A Beginner's Mind  ||  Track 13  ||  Indie Folk...
