Hey Guys, the year is 2026 and I am bringing this blog back from the grave.

I always wanted to give this blog more chaotic vibes, like early days internet ( back when internet was cool ). I wanted it to be about technical topics that I like, but also about random topics like recipes and … music.

So I can’t think about anything better to start this new phase other than writting about some cool bands I’ve been listening to.

Have a look on my recommendations:

If you like instrumental rock while coding, you have to check this one. These guys from greece never disappoint. I found the title itself to be very interesting, also. I have the impression that modern academia became a place of inflated egos and kind of forgot that making science has to be, first of all, joyful.

This guys from Argentina came up with, perhaps, one of the coolest albums I discovered in 2024. As a side note: I hate that the Brazilians and Argentinians boomers created this nonsense rivalry between us. C’mon, listen to this guys.

This next one I found by chance while walking around the lake Lugano, Switzerland, in a random evening. They were putting an absolutely killer perfomance in a small open air stage to about 20 people. The funny fact about this evening is that there was a bigger stage close to this small stage. Only a few moment later in that same evening, some girls were perfoming on this bigger stage and they were so bad that that I’d rather listen to chalk scratching a blackboard. This bigger stage area was packed with people. Go figure!

I’ve listened to Protomartyr for the first time around 2023. They haven’t left my playlist since then. The videoclip of this one is a must see, btw. For context: It is about the mythical battle between Galerito and Gil da esfiha.

If you like analog synths, you have to check Ehsan Gelsi. He puts up great tracks to listen while coding.
