I was tagged by @two-hands-toward-the-sun. Thank you! I have not listened to it yet, but I have the new Janelle Monáe album out from the library because of you.
So half is what I have out of the library right now. I remembered I can get out things I want from any library in the system and now the librarians know my face because I have had like 50 things coming in over the last two weeks. @two-hands-toward-the-sun is right, visit your local second hand music store, but also go to your library.
Other than that, my gf made me listen to Simon and Garfunkel and I realized I just didn't know the name of the musician. I don't know if this makes any sense, but it's good music to mop to? Chico Buarque and Cartola is just like sad man music, ok, I just needed sad man music.

okay so writing all that made me realize some of my musical tastes are really weird lol. would you have any recs?
Weird? I guess, but they slap
Bill Wurtz is always fantastic, and Snail House is so vibes~!
Never heard of Heaven Pierce Her before but dagnabbit this slaps. Order is on my Starred playlist now. War Without Reason also slaps, shocking no one.
Ooooh, Tooboe is an interesting introduction to me. I'm jamming to this alright, it's good stuff! Not sure what this genre's called, but I like it a lot.
NOW TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION!
My music tastes are a wild mix. People used to ask me what music I like and I'd just be like "...all? Depends on my mood I guess...?"
Se here in no particular order are some faves or recs:
Louie Zong is a big fave of mine. He covers many genres, but my favourites are "I Sing Your Song" feat. Hatsune Miku, and his Mario disco-funk remix album "Let's-a Go!", his soundtrack to a videogame that doesn't exist "Levels", and most favouritest his album "Cozy" which will put me to restful sleep when the anxieties are biting my brain.
Following on from there, I enjoy Hatsune Miku a bunch! My favourite musicians to work with her are Wowaka (who among other songs did "Rollin' Girl", a mood piece about the pressures felt by creatives), and Mitchie M (whose songs include "News-39" a cheerful bop about propaganda, "Ohedo Julia-Night" a pop-disco ballad to the prosperous Ohedo era in Japanese history, "Cutie Angels" an homage to pro wrestling).
Speaking of pro-wrestling!
The Mountain Goats album "Beat the Champ" hits hard for me, particularly "The Legend of Chavo Guerrero", which is both a tribute to legendary luchador Chavo Guerrero and insight into singer/songwriter John Darnielle's childhood and his relationship with his abusive stepfather. The Mountain Goats also made the song to get me through 2020! That being "This Year", a ballad of defiance in the face of a cruel world.
What else...
Carly Rae Jepsen! Her album Emotion has a bunch of bangers, but my favourites are "Boy Problems" about a friend who realises she's a bad friend for always venting to her friend about her boy problems without ever listening to said friend, or her album Dedicated which has my favourite of hers "Want You In My Room" which is a blatantly horny and cheerful song.
