Have my ear for a day

Send me a list of things to listen to for a day. Probably best if it's 4-8 hours, but if you want to recommend less (like an album or two) I'll listen and then use the "radio" feature to stream similar music afterwards.

Alternatively or additionally, feel free to get out of your comfort zone and join in on the listening.

Context:

I have a lot of time to listen to music while working. Recently I've been getting bored with my go-to catalog. About 5 years ago I posted out like this on a different platform and had a pretty good experience.

This doesn't need to be specific/catered to me, since that's part of the experience. But if it helps, I tend to listen to pop, electronic, alt rock, R&B, and funk. I also enjoy jazz and 40's music. Here's my last.fm if you want more specifics, though the all-time stats are skewed towards my heavy listening a decade ago.

Edit:

Feel free to post links to whatever you use to listen or no links at all. I don't mind doing some leg work to get it playing on my streaming service.

    Just pulling from my favorite albums based on broad assumptions from your last.fm:

    Genesis Owusu - Smiling With No Teeth - Neo-soul infused with a ton of punk and hip-hop. Saw Gambino and Frank Ocean on your profile, figured I'd throw a few neo-soul suggestions out in case you haven't tried em.

    Late of the Pier - Fantasy Black Channel - Dance-Punk Electronic Rock Crunchy Something Or Other. Hodge-podge of stuff.

    Hiatus Kaiyote - Choose Your Weapon - More neo-soul, but on the rock side.

    underscores - Wallsocket - Concept album about a fictional US town called Wallsocket with 00's pop and punk sensibility but 20's subjects/production. Very gecs-y.

    Nekomata Master - Backdrops - Moody, driving electronic album from a bemani producer for Konami's rhythm games.

    Neil Cicierega - Mouth Moods - Mashups. Just in case you haven't listened to this in its entirety yet.

    BADBADNOTGOOD - III - MORE neo-soul with a lot of jazz.

    Kero Kero Bonito - Time 'n' Place - Sugary noisy melancholy pop.

    Vinesauce Joel - Super Ghostbusters - trust me

    My taste is pretty eclectic, so here's the 352 songs that I have "liked" over the years. The most recent "like" is at the beginning of the list, so if you start there you will basically be going backward in time.

    Sorry it is a Youtube playlist. That is what I use. I tried this converter and it loaded okay, but I would have had to create a Spotify account to finish the import.
