Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of slayyyter on my phone, since Spotify served up some of her songs on my daily playlists. Hello Kitty is my favourite! Also, I’ve been looping a sped up version of bao banana shake, which, this particular coverart with the song, is my themesong, I think.

My wife and I were just talking about how it’s sad that Kids These Days probably don’t know Franz Ferdinand, so seeing this makes me happy!
(Michael is a good song too, though of course I would say that).

I’m doing it as a band (yes, I know, I’m 13, whatever) and it’s… Interesting. I never knew that the song is about a movie about a German sniper in WW2!

I’d go with Dark of the Matinee.

Structuralist theories focusing on Serbian irredentism, over-optimistic French military planning, Russian desires for expansion at the expense of a waning Ottoman empire, and a long-term rise of jingoism as the nation-state ideal replaced the previous monarch-centric conception of state prestige, probably- you know, loser stuff.

That went onto a history lesson from a music lesson very quickly.

There’s an absolutely excellent song by the Magnetic Fields-- The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure– and I was playing that album while a teen was here, and later I learned that he was sure that the song was about the Archduke’s murder, and there was some hilarity. So rest assured that there’s lots of confusion about various Ferdinands amongst the younglings.
** And I highly recommend the entire enormous album this song comes from-- 69 Love Songs. It’s one of my all-time favorites.

Fat Freddy’s Drop is a secret jewel. At least as far as I know people don’t know them, but they are great.

Wayne Shorter died. One of the Jazz greats.

Elliott Smith, one of the greatest popular musicians of my generation. Died way too young at 34. Police have never determined if it was suicide or murder.

Red Ruby Da Sleeze by Nicki Minaj
A French electronic artist with a very technical and aggressive style. If you like djent metal, math metal, and wish it was written with the heart and soul of a dubstep artist, while wielded by the hilarious precision and complexity of a jazz musician, then you need to put this on your to-listen list.
It’s absolutely amazing for coding. It’s got so much energy that I feel pumped the whole time, but because it has a lot of math in it, it’s also not so steady that it becomes distracting.
EDIT: The song I linked is just my recent favorite. A better example would be this.

I really like both tracks you linked. I’ll have to listen to more from this artist.
Your links also prompted me to search through my own electronica collection a bit. Since you mentioned “the precision and complexity of a jazz musician”, I came up with this:
