I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for a long while and I figured hey, might as well start it with the start of the year, see how long I can keep this up.
Basically I'm wanting to every day post a link to some random song I like. Might be from a cartoon, wrestling, an anime, a video game, maybe even an actual real respectable song here and there, who knows! Think it'd be a fun way to both share some of my tastes and in the process kind of rack my brain a bit thinking of music beyond just the normal handful of songs I tend to turn on on Youtube when the mood hits me. Who knows, maybe it'll make me get around to actually downloading some music on my computer or my iPad since I have zilch in the way of both for a multitude of reasons.
Plus hey, it's pretty much a certainty that at some point I'll own up to some shit I find myself really embarrassed to like so hey, have fun with that!
Any days I miss for whatever reason (IE power or Internet being out or something) I'll make up for later, wanting to try and make a genuine habit of this.
Now where to start... Tempting to indulge in my usual Mysterious Girlfriend X fanboyish right off the top, buuuuuut I think I'd rather go with something else to begin with. As such choosing to go with a song I'm guessing a lot of people haven't heard of or won't really think is anything special, but I have a definite fondness for because I've kind of come to mentally associate it with one of my webcomics and I've been doing those for over 12 years at this point.

... This is nowhere near the only country song I'll post over the course of this project for the record, though I'll try to space them out.

Okay now I'm going to indulge in what a fanboy I am.

Something I find kind of weird to manage with doing this is counterbalancing between wanting to throw out semi-obscure things a lot of people might not have listened to and stuff that isn't just completely going to go over people's head. Also trying to diversify what I post day-to-day so don't, like, want to throw out some other anime RP right away or something.
It's an awkward counterbalance to be sure but hey, part of the fun of trying to do this every day. Today I'll go with a song from a game a lot of people have probably played but that people might not've really paid attention to, mostly since it's menu music you can skip past after like ten seconds even though it's actually weirdly long and complex for being used for that purpose.

Hey, I've got more than one song I associate with my comics.

I was going to space out the country music more but it's been in my head and they sound nothing alike anyway. One of those songs I find it super easy to start singing along with.

My fondness for this one's mostly motivated by being pretty handily the most unique PS4 hover over presentation I've ever seen. Kind of was immediately invested in the game (after having bought it largely just because word of mouth on it was very good, while not really knowing a lot about it, and then putting it off for awhile) just from the novelty that its choice of music to represent itself was so utterly unique and striking. And it paid off since while the game isn't perfect I liked it a lot.
Though even ignoring that context I just think it has a very striking sound to it. Not something I'd listen to super often but I still think it just sounds very nice.

I actually first learned of this one from it being cut in the data in a GTA game, probably 5, and have long thought that damn this song should never have been cut, it'd be an awesome fit in GTA. Very hard not to start singing along with.

Let's get some more anime in here, huh? Just listen at how happy and bouncy this is, I'm sure the show it goes with isn't at all nothing like this and in fact horribly depressing. ... Just ignore that it's named Death Parade.

I've been wanting to replay Twilight Princess of late and in general that game might have my favorite Zelda soundtrack. Let's go with one of the standouts to me for today, eh?

I don't really have anything I'm specifically in the mood for right this moment but let's just go with some random song off the top of my head I'm into. How about... That'll work, another one I find it super easy to start singing along with. Language warning.

For as forgotten as this song largely seems to be I remember hearing it in a grocery store at least once. Which given the sound of it is just kind of a weird contrast.

Well, didn't take me too long to forget to do it for a day I guess. Let's get a twofer in then. Let's see... First off, I don't really tend to like Mario Kart music very much, but it has its standouts. Such as...

And for today, hm... Well, it came up talking to my brother earlier so it'll work.

Could very easily see myself eventually posting most of this album, and it's not my favorite song on it, but kind of just want to spotlight this one since I like it a lot more than I do the original song.

It's been over a week since I've had some anime nonsense, let's get more of that in here.
January 18th, 2023 "Flip Flap Flip Flap" by TOMAS feat. Chima
I'm also including the ED with it because it's just hella charming itself. God I need to watch Flip Flappers again.

Honestly a key problem with doing this daily is that my sleep schedule is all kinds of f***ed so I genuinely kind of lose track of when one day leads into another. Another two-for-one I suppose.
Let's see... Well, to start with, let's get another video game song. Specifically spotlighting this version since feel like between the remix being the version used in the PAL and Japanese releases plus the HD port that it's been kind of erased by comparison but I've always liked it more.
January 19th, 2023 "Philistine" from No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
And for a second one... It's always been inevitable that I'll probably end up posting most of this album so might as well just get started.

Dammit, could've sworn I got it yesterday. Need to get better about this. Well, let's see... I bought all the Haruhi Suzumiya books recently, let's start with that.
