i think it's nice that a lot of people have thursday AND friday off to celebrate music friday, since friday is thursday in, uh... the southern hemisphere? i don't know how timezones work.
what i do know about is music friday
the weekly event of the century,
the one,
the only,
the greatest,
the coolest,
the day of the week in which the stars are aligned and we are, each of us, permitted to answer the question:
what was a really fucking good song you heard this week?
So this week I went through a couple of the artists in my library and I applied the goat tag to them, then I have a playlist in Plex that just has all the songs from goated artists in release order that I haven't listened to in the last two weeks.
Which is all to say... I've been listening to a lot of Tenniscoats this week, and I absolutely love Cup of Freedom off of Yaki-Läki, their collaboration album with Estonian musician Pastacas.

gentle, lovely. good for a sunny friday no-work morning.
listened to a 2018 ep by a guy called Your Old Droog who people apparently used to think was secretly nas until it turned out he was a white dude from brooklyn with kind of a similar voice..... but regardless his music is good enough to warrant the comparison imo. anyways his song no message is really good, and i always appreciate the rare 7-minute rap song with no beat changes or anything
I started listening to some of his newer stuff a few weeks ago, but hadn’t gone back around for Looseys just yet, it’s rad! Absolutely wild that the going theory was that he was secretly Nas, lmao.
General context: I’ve been loving the new Yeah Yeah Yeah’s album Cool it Down. Then my partner asked me this past week if I liked trance music. I hadn’t really listened to it much but Spotify had a “Trance Music for You” ready to go for me when I looked. Loved this remix of Wolf from Yeah Yeah Yeah’s new album: https://youtu.be/QD6YHdw9cpw
Ooh, yes! It’s only this track, though… I want a Fleez remix!
I got two:
