When was the last time you found piece that didn’t match your usual listening habits, but ended up liking it? How did you come accross it?

My taste has been mostly rock, metal and certain kinds of electroic music, but

Fallout introduced me to Billie Holiday

Youtube channel Inside the Score got me started on classical music, like actually listening and enjoying Beethoven, Sibelius and Dvorak and going even to a concert instead of just knowing the bits you can not avoid.

The jazz covers of Phoenix Wright music, especially The Dark Fragrance of Coffee, got me seeking for more of similar style.

    For me also. Eurovision has been very meh for me, but this year I actually liked many of the songs and Germany really didn’t deserve the last place in finals.

    I don’t like the style Käärijä’s albums are produced, but live he is awesome. Cha cha is even better when he can do his own thing instead of worrying the choreography.

      Love that live show! The week after such a crushing disappointment, too.

      It was a ridiculously strong year, and agreed 100% about Germany. I’ve actually been listening to a fair bit of Lord of the Lost as well since the final. I am a Eurovision superfan so may be biased, but it’s kinda crazy how many new types of music it can introduce you to.

      Also had Ylivoimainen by KUUMAA on repeat, the Finnish national selection was absolutely stacked (as per).
