I'm a child of the '80s.

Eagles - Take It Easy

Aphex Twin - "Blue Calx" (#13 from ambient works 2)

Tycho - Awake

Steely Dan - Peg

Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters is on my mind since I'm performing that song on my synth with a band next weekend, and been practicing with them for a few months. It's such a BANGER.

Video from some of my earlier solo practice of the song: https://packmates.org/@noxypaws/117147431648135862

Sofa no.2 by Zappa always lifts my spirit. More recently, I'd have to go for Super graphic ultra modern girl by Chappel Roan. Fucking love that song

You're children's laughter

REM - Shiny Happy People

Kate really, really makes it and yes, I know REM hated the song and only wrote it as a piss take, not expecting it to succeed... but it's awesome :)
