#MusicMonday! What have YOU been listening to?

For everyone thinking I'm a metalhead by now: You ain't wrong! 😅

Regardless, this week was dominated by something way more chill: "Ziggy Stardub" by the #EasyStarAllStars, a full #dub / #reggae album #cover of "Ziggy Stardust". I've never been too much into #DavidBowie (don't tell my girlfriend!) – so I have no clue how faithful these covers are. But they sound nice, for sure! Favorite one:
