Rules: You can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first 10 songs, and then tag 10 people. No skipping!

@spectralarchers did this meme and then invited anyone who felt like it to take part and tag her, and it's always fun to do tag games, especially ones related to music, so here we go!

I had to think about which playlist to use for this meme, because the "omni-playlist" I used to use in Spotify (Liked From Radio, which dates back to when Spotify would auto-add songs you "liked" while listening to an artist radio to a playlist) hasn't been added to since 2021. These days, I add songs I like and want to relisten to to my "Liked Songs" playlist, which contains an odd smattering of songs I've added over the years I've been using Spotify, and some entire albums, including the whole of the Lego Movie soundtrack. xD

So the results it produced were... interesting, and none of them are songs I currently listen to regularly, but it was fun to dive back through the playlist!

1) Connection - OneRepublic 2) Bang Bang - Jessie J., Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj 3) I Am A Master Builder - Mark Mothersbaugh 4) Shrimp - Mr Weebl (I laughed out loud when this one came on) 5) In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins 6) Calypso - John Denver (this was one of the first songs I added to the playlist after my dad watched a documentary on John Denver and I wanted to listen to the song again. It's lovely ^^) 7) Be As You Are - Mike Posner (his album At Night, Alone. is actually pretty good, and this is one of my favourite tracks) 8) Hard Feelings/Loveless - Lorde 9) Lost and Found - Ellie Goulding 10) Stand Up - The Cab

Like spectralarchers, I don't fancy tagging people for this but I would love anyone who sees this to do it and tag me! I miss sharing music recs with my internet friends, so I like the idea of exchanging some random music choices ^^

So I’m just the right age to have been there in 2003 when the Badger Badger flash animation went viral. 

Even if you weren’t born then, you’ve probably seen this around at some point. This was before YouTube existed, so it was from a website called Weebl’s Stuff which was honestly pretty great. And today, I randomly went:

Huh, wonder what happened to Mr Weebl? 🤔

So I googled him. AND.

"Save the Badger Badger Badger" is a mashup of Jonti Picking's 2003 viral Flash animation Badgers and "Flash" by Queen. The song was released on 19 May 2013, in response to proposed badger culling in the United Kingdom. The song features vocals and guitar from Brian May and visuals reminiscent to the 1980 film Flash Gordon, in addition to vocals from Weebl and Brian Blessed.

What. WHAT!  😂 Sure enough, here’s Brian May with Mr Weebl I-

Oh, but it gets better, because YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE MASH UP. I’m crying. This is. Wow. This is not a cultural crossover I saw coming.  😂 😂 😂 And I love it! Look at Badger!Bri ahahaha

And, please, ENJOY:
