665 songs listened to at time of writing. Mostly youtube and a few on bandcamp. I’m trying to avoid the ones that just look like tv episode songs. Still trying hard to avoid AI. I fear some may have made it through on the Release list. Some use AI to make a video but the song is real. Some just use AI to make a whole thing.

Found ti difficult to get a good through line for all the songs I liked so I have made two lists. I wish I had just made the list extra long because it still doesn’t feel right.

I’ve just finished the pop list. Hopefully this list won’t make me confront repressed feelings.
