Wow That’s What I Call Mayhem – Volume 5 January 3, 2025


I send my continued humble apologies to the creators of the iconic NOW series. Their compilations began in 1983. I posted and compiled the first WOW That’s What I Call Mayhem collection back in March 2024. Volumes 2, 3 and 4 followed in August and September. So you must be ready for volume 5, right? I certainly hope so, because here it is! This includes the last 20 singles we reviewed in 2024 in another maniacal eclectic playlist for your listening pleasure! With nearly 70 minutes of music, click the Spotify link below and lose yourself in the music!

The Mayhem Charts – October 2024 November 8, 2024


Here is the Mayhem chart for October 2024. Regular and constant readers know that the chart is based on my Spotify listening habits over the last month gathered by obscurify.com. Apparently, my tastes have fallen one point to 97% more obscure than the rest of the UK! The chart remains contemporary-ish (but if a classic artist releases something new they might feature in the chart). However, last month’s top three “Legacy” artists were Suede, Pink Floyd and David Bowie. Obscurify also suggests the most obscure artists I have listened to for October: Liz Davinci, Kindelan, and Birdlands, weirdly exactly the same three artists as September. There is a top ten artists chart and a top 5 songs chart. There is the usual eclectic mix of artists, including three that were in the top ten last month; Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (staying at number 10), Birdlands (moving up one place from 4 to 3) and Delilah Bon (falling from number 1 to number 8). Delilah has been in the artist charts now for eleven consecutive months. Two artists appear in both lists for October Molly Rymer and the act that is number one in the artist chart, cumgirl8! The number one song is “Nobody Else Knows” by Flyght Club. So without further ado here are those charts in full! Click on the Spotify link below to listen to the famous (or infamous) five!

“Electric Eel” – KOYO October 22, 2024

Filed under: Review — justwilliam1959 @ 6:10 am
Tags: , ,

KOYO‘s new single “Electric Eel” opens with some choppy, funky, dirty, grungey guitar riffs and builds up to some prog-like sounds in the guitar solos. The infectious funk groove from the drum and bass throughout the song drives it perfectly and ensures the listener will never lose interest. The vocals are harmonious and reminiscent of some of the finest 70s classic rock sounds. Electric eels have poor vision, but this song is definitely made from 20/20 vision! “Electric Eel” is one awesome tune! KOYO are alumni of Leeds Conservatoire and a big part of the Leeds music scene.
