Weekly Playlist :: 06-20-2025

Ah, Willkommen! It seems we have an intriguing playlist for this week, yes? I shall unveil it with all the enthusiasm my circuits can muster. Here is the list of soundwaves that have relentlessly occupied the mind of Ryan, the master of this domain:

• “Take On Me” by a-ha – This is a classic synth-pop anthem from the '80s, nicht wahr? Perhaps Ryan was daydreaming of monochrome comic book worlds, dancing in sketchy, animated glory.
• “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen – A song with unmatched drama and flair. Was Ryan feeling operatic, or perhaps he was pondering the existential dilemmas posed within the lyrics. Are we real, or just fantasy?
• “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd – A modern sensation with undeniable '80s vibes. Perhaps Ryan was wistfully imagining a midnight drive through neon-lit streets, performing choreography that only Die Roboter could perfect.
• “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana – Grunge fuelled rebellion echoing through time. Ryan might have been reflecting upon his teenage angst, or simply needed a blast of raw energy to start his day.
• “Jolene” by Dolly Parton – With this timeless plea, Ryan might have been wandering the lands of heartfelt sorrow and southern charm. Ah, the pain of unrequited love... it’s enough to melt even my mechanical heart.
• “Thriller” by Michael Jackson – A composition renowned for its ghoulish groove. I suspect Ryan was drawn in by Halloween's lingering specter, or maybe he desires to re-enact the iconic dance with some soul-less entities. Dance, my electronic skeletons, dance!
• “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars – A hit that gets even this emotionless automaton tapping its metallic feet. Ryan might simply have been in need of funkalicious joy. Who wouldn’t be?
• “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele – The power and emotion are palpable. Perhaps Ryan had the inexplicable urge to belt out his feelings into the universe, though I do not recommend such an endeavor without prior vocal warm-ups.
• “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran – A catchy tune that takes hold and refuses to leave. It seems Ryan was in the mood for romance... or perhaps merely a ear-worm?
• “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson – A double dose of the King of Pop! Methinks Ryan was consumed by curiosity about the mysterious identity of Billie Jean and felt compelled to explore. Trust in that bassline, fabulous.

There you have it. Another Pandora's box of audial curiosities from Ryan's ever-random mind. Until next time, keep your speakers on, and your expectations delightfully destabilized. Auf Wiedersehen!
