@music Physiogically speaking, they weren't actually in separate ears, but I was hearing bits of them both at the same time and separately. Charles Ives would be proud.
My earworms often get triggered by seeing or thinking an object, such as a street sign, or word. For example, whenever I eat a potato or think the word "soon", there's a good chance I will earworm the excellent อีกไม่ช้า (Soon), by Thai rock group Potato (featuring Slot Machine).
@PeterGray@3goodthings oh, cool. not sure if I want to add another posession for something I get to use perhaps one or two months out of the year during cherry season (or less, I usually eat them directly and stone them in my mouth rather than baking with them) but it's good to know such a thing exists in case I get such an interest.
There seems to be a distinctive sound to Thai rock music. I'm listening to my global music playlist in background & คนตัวเล็ก by Hobbit came on. Even though I'm not familiar with this song or the group, I knew the song was in Thai before the lyrics started just from the sound, :08 to :19. ¿Anyone who's into Thai rock notice this? ¿Is it the playing style? Or ¿do they use the same studio which puts out a distinctive sound?
@music By way of reference, I listen to a lot of Big Ass, AB Normal, Potato, Slot Machine, Tilly Birds, but I also listen to rock (and other music) from just about anywhere and there seems to be a distinctive sound to Thai rock.
YouTube music often shows song titles for songs using non-Latin writing systems transliterated into the Latin alphabet, which makes the titles easier to read but hard to verify that the song is in a language that I'm seeking. I wish they would show the title both ways.
If lyrics are available, then I can use the lyrics to verify. But often they're not.
This morning I'm discovering the music of Veronica Adane. Not sure where Veronica is from, but the cover lettering is Ethiopic, which implies singing in Amharic and being from Ethiopia or Eritrea. ¡Nice!
Was trying to find a song for my playlist in Gujarati but YouTube Music's search feature is, um, kinda random. Returned among other things the wonderful song Ya Sudahlah by Bondan Prakoso & Fade2Black
Pequeña y Fragil is an originally Italian song with a humongous number of Spanish covers. I've put together a playlist of around 50 of them. Yes, I'm strange. But there's a surprising amount of variety in this eclectic and idiosyncratic playlist.
