  "textContent": "Step into What’s Playing in the Studio, my playful music check-in—part experiment, part time capsule, and all about the joy of sharing what’s on repeat.\nThink of this as the “soundtrack to me being a functional human” report: the tracks I can’t quit, the albums I spin start to finish, and the music that keeps my feet moving and my mood up.\nConsider this first post the pilot episode: a full dump so I can set the palette, several mini lists to start, what’s hype, what’s tender, what’s helping me lock in, and what I keep returning to when I need a familiar emotional temperature. Down the line, expect posts diving into artist spotlights, themed playlists, and deep dives on specific albums or moods—so if there’s a format you’re curious about, keep an eye out.\nAfter this, future posts will be smaller + more focused (one loop, an artist spotlight, an album wrap). But for now: here’s the current soundtrack.\nSugar Rush\nGlitchy, bratty, overcaffeinated bangers only. the kind of music that turns “standing in my kitchen” into “performing in my kitchen.”\nYummy (Righteous Remix) - Ayesha Erotica\nJersey - Baby Tate\nMPH - Doechii\nGorgeous - Doja Cat\nOKLOSER - Doja Cat\nWash & Set - Leikali47\nSugar Water Cyanide - Rebecca Black\nCrank - Slayyyter\nYearn (dot) com\nBright-yearn, not devastation-yearn: glossy, melodic, tender, a little cinematic — tender without going full devastation. (I’m fine. I swear.)\nThe Hand - Annabella Dinda\nDandelion - Ariana Grande\nBirds of a Feather - Billie Eilish\nWhite Mercedes - Charli xcx\nSide Quest Son - Elio Mei\nParachute - Hayley Williams\nSomeone to Call My Lover - Janet Jackson\nStateside - PinkPantheress (feat. Zara Larsson)\nKiss Me - Sixpence None The Richer\nLock in\nThe “okay, stand up, open the doc, do the thing” category.\nRunway-to-the-desk energy: competence fantasy — I’m locked in I’m manifesting.\nSuccessful - Ariana Grande\nAll My Enemies Are Suffering - Bien\nLife Boat - RAYE\nAll I wanna do - INJI\nLondon Drill - London Hill\nBlessings on Blessings - OSHUN\n大展鴻圖 (Blueprint Supreme) - Skai Isyourgod\nBalloon - Tyler, The Creator (feat. Doechii)\nFocus music (chill zone-out)\nNot hype — just smooth, steady “turn my thoughts down” music. The comedown pile.\nSpecial mention: the score from Interstellar is elite if you want a lo-fi hip-hop girl moment, but make it cosmic.\nBorderline - Tame Impala\nDracula - Tame Impala\nEventually - Tame Impala\nFeels Like We Only Go Backwards - Tame Impala\nIs it True - Tame Impala\nLet It Happen - Tame Impala\nNew Person, Same Old Mistakes - Tame Impala\nThe Less I know, the better - Tame Impala\nWhat’s that, you weren’t expecting 8 Tame Impala tracks in a row? I’ll have you know I voted for her.\nSongs I’ve come back to\nStuff I circled back to after a long gap. Comfort classics + “still hits” heartbreak. Body-memory songs, like flipping the lights back on or opening a music box.\nHeadlock - Imogen Heap\nNumber One Fan - MUNA\nAll I Wanted - Paramore\nHard Times - Paramore\n15 Step - Radiohead\nCan't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers\nScar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers\nFull projects\nProjects I’m actually sitting with and living inside when I want a whole world, not just a hit.\neternal sunshine - Ariana Grande\nAlligator Bites Never Heal - Doechii\nThis music may contain hope - RAYE.\nDeath at a Bachlorette Party - Hayley Williams\nFancy That? - PinkPantheress\nWorst Girl in America - Slayyyter\nCHROMAKOPIA - Tyler, The Creator\nTrack Stats (because I’m nosy)\nTotal recs: 40 songs + 8 full projects/albums\nArtist spread: about 29 distinct artists (counting features)\nRepeat offender: Doja Cat + Hayley Williams (2 each)\nGenre breakdown (very non-scientific, overlapping):\nPop 14\nHyperpop 6\nHip-hop 6\nRap 4\nIndie 8\nVibe spread:\nhype 8\ntender 13\nlocked-in 8\nfloaty 11\nInternational representation (by artists):\n36% international (10)\n64% US (18)\nCountries represented:\nUS/ UK / Australia / Sweden / Kenya / Taiwan / Turkey\nIf you want to tell me what you’re looping right now, I’ll steal at least one song for my next round of lists.\n— Atila Martin\natilacore.pckt.blog\natilacore.bsky.social\natilacore.pckt.blog@gmail.com"
