2026 (So Far) in Music –

Alright, alright, alright –

As promised (or threatened, depending on how you feel), I want to make FatEmery a space to share my current relationship with music. Right now it feels a bit technical (there are spreadsheets), but it is also the most engaged and joyful I have felt about music in some time. Even in the obsessive documentation, there is pleasure. So, without further ado, we’ll jump into February and March recaps. January is exempt because I was in a Bad Place, heh.

February was a good reintroduction to music, for me. I spent a good amount of time spinning vinyl records that I already knew I enjoyed, and I benefitted from a number of new recommendations from a dear, similarly musically nerdy, friend.

To start – here is the current color coded key for navigating the spreadsheet. All projects are new listens to me, unless specified by the light blue color or vinyl listens.

Most designated **New Rec‘s come from the aforementioned friend – I left his name out because I didn’t ask if it was cool to put it here lol.

And below you will find a compilation of notable tracks from February – all were new listens to me, and do not include additional tracks I liked but had already listened to in months or years past, if that makes any sense. Additionally guided by “vibes,” or as my friend put it – inspiration and intuition. I think the latter sounds a little more… professional.

This is one of my favorite parts of this absolute absurdity, because I get to compile the tracks into a playlist and give it a stupid little name and cover art!

Yeehaw!

Now, we can evaluate March! The key remains the same, but for consistency –
