    I want to start posting regularly in this thread so I'll start by making a small (reverse)chronological list of the things that were on top of my mind for the month of December, with a few words on the unknown stuff I feel like deserves more recognition. I do wish to apologise because I'm generally a horrible writer but I'm trying my best!

    • Tom Petty - Love Is A Long Road - GTA VI Trailer just reminded me how much I love Tom Petty's music and the vibe it gives
    • Weezer - Island In The Sun
    • Hällas - Star Rider - This 70s metal sounding piece from a Swedish prog-rock group is actually from 2017. I absolutely adore this song, it fills me with feelings of joy, sadness, hopelessness and hope at the same time? Above all of that it is also just an earworm, the synth parts and the guitar riffs are just... We have a saying in Romanian for this that sounds incredibly quirky in english but it is "anointing my soul". Honestly recommend anyone to give this a listen just out of curiosity at least.
    • Sting - Shape Of My Heart
    • Chris Cornell - Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart - Ok Chris Cornell is in no way unkown, but I do believe he is deserving of greater acknowledgment. I find especially this piece to be incredibly soul crushing while being just a straight up upbeat song. RIP Chris. For me he is one of my favourite vocalists of all time alongside Myles Kennedy and Eddie Vedder.
    • Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Beat the Devil's Tattoo - Hellboy (2019) was an absolute disgusting pile of bullshit but it did remind me of this brilliant song.

    BONUS!

    Mosaika Group - Rubicon (Мозаика Рубикон) https://youtu.be/mwGJTTMSS8A?t=759 - I found this incredibly old vinyl at a friend's house and I fell in love with it. It sounds like a Soviet Deep Purple/Pink Floyd with incredible classic rock and hard rock elements. I don't know the story behind the album or the band but if anyone has any idea I'd love to learn more.

    Just for the record the Dick Stroker (Richard Strocher) guy is just a joke screenshot of a fake tweet. I'm only clarifying this because I've seen multiple videos of "tiktok influencers"...

    Just for the record the Dick Stroker (Richard Strocher) guy is just a joke screenshot of a fake tweet. I'm only clarifying this because I've seen multiple videos of "tiktok influencers" "apologising" to him and giving him legitimacy. Jokes can be funny when they are clearly meant to be jokes, but people are incredibly gullible.

    Bit on a tangent but the pure fact that there is no one single service for this simple workflow but for all different kinds of media is exactly why I have not succesfully replaced my current solution (except letterboxd). Basically I keep a spreadsheet with a sheet each for everything (movies, tv shows, games, albums, etc.) and I use it as my "watchlist" and also "watched" by logging dates and details where relevant. Now, this might work for me but not for the majority because the main reason I want to log things is because of my poor memory and to vent my ideas about the film/game/album while they're fresh, not for the social-media or review sharing part of it.
    I did try to use backloggd, goodreads and a few others but it's quite an inconvenience for me to learn the layout of your particular site, even remember the name when I only use it maybe once a month when I finish a new game or book.
    I'm generally against monopolizing things under one singular conglomerate but I feel like in this case it's a justified usecase.
