I feel like plugging filker Julia Ecklar. Here's a song of hers LWers may like. I couldn't find that one in particular on Youtube or I'd have linked there.

Some more filk, in the "Yay Space!" category:

• Fire in the Sky, by Jordin Kare

• Surprise!, by Leslie Fish

• Space Girl (not really filk, but still nice music)

A lot of stuff can be found here.

As I wandered through the Web I came across the one AI I would not mind letting out of the box: Weird Al, of course.

• Two box sets of Factory Records: Palatine, which I had already, and the new(ish) set on Rhino. This is the stuff that hooked me at sixteen, therefore I will like it forever. (This appears to be true for a worryingly large number of music fans, even people like me who've been listening to new stuff for decades. I wonder if there's been any actual studies or if it's just critics' cynical anecdote.)
• Capsule Stereo Worxxx (new album, just out). Straight-up '90s disco, pretty listenable and catchy. Nothing like as annoying as World Of Fantasy.
• Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Pamyu Pamyu Revolution. Yasutaka Nakata would have written the Capsule album and then this straight after.
• Everything else by Nakata, including lots of Perfume and MEG. Mostly not bad, but often even more irritating than Kyary. The guy writes too much stuff too fast, but I like it often enough it's worth checking.
• I am just about to go on a week's holiday, introducing the small child to her grandparents. I have put more music on my phone than I could actually play in a week.
