So I've decided to rent a piano... I now have a 48" tall Kawai upright in my bedroom for $75/month.
The digital piano I own is very nice, but a real piano is nicer to hear, nicer to play, and makes the room much nicer to be in... overall it's a big quality of life upgrade that I'm very happy with. I already play more.
Now it's time for me to actually practice instead of just play/jam all the time (I'm a jazz pianist). There are some Chopin and Debussy pieces that are very dear to me that are gonna take some work for me to play.

First post in this thread. I can not get Royals (Lorde) out of my head. Not my favorite song or anything, but it sticks. I like when teenagers can shake things up a bit, artistically.

I love this style/vibe from new, young artists. It reminds me of the vibe behind Kids These Days.

For a second when clicking on the link I was expecting:
All performers in this video are at least 18 years of age...
Like those midget links you send me...

i enjoy listening to pop music when I want to hear something that is catchy, fun and recognizable in social situations or when driving
of course i hear the same songs over and over for months at a time. some songs get boring quicker than others.
also the lyrics are stupid of course but i generally dont pay too much attention to lyrics when i listen to music
