So yeah, my recent revelation music-wise is that I'm a big stoner/desert/doom-metal fan. I supposed I should have known that since I adored Soundgarden back in the day. Still do for that matter.

Yeah, I heard of her a few months ago, hate to admit it but I watched her progress through AGT.Yeah, she's talented. Knows how to shred
The craziest thing: Linkin Park has apparently signed her on for their tour, she'll be sharing vocals with Emily. First a new millionaire, now this. Crazy life!

I had never heard of her until a few days ago. It is crazy that a 15/16 year old can be so good. And what a start to her career!
I hope it does not result in an early burn out

Yup, crazy early start. Same with The Warning 
, they're in their mid 20's and they've been at it for over a decade. Just released their 5th album if you can believe it.

This was a really fun gig I went to back in March 2024. The venue was rammed and the crowd was bouncing as can see in the video below

Wee bit of trivia.
'Je t'aime…moi non plus' by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin was the first ever foreign language song to hit number 1 in the UK in October 1969.
It was also banned in several countries due to its explicit sexual content.
The BBC officially banned the track from all radio airplay. The decision was driven not by the French lyrics, but by Jane Birkin's audible, explicit simulated climax.
For the first time in the history of the show, producers of the BBC's Top of the Pops refused to feature or play the UK's Number 1 song when it topped the charts.
The controversy was so intense that the song’s original major record label in the UK, Fontana Records, caved under public pressure. While the single was climbing the charts and sitting at Number 2, Fontana completely withdrew the record from sale and stopped manufacturing copies.
Recognising a massive opportunity, Serge Gainsbourg quickly licensed the song to an independent UK record label called Major Minor. Major Minor immediately re-released the single. Driven by the intense media frenzy and public curiosity, the track defied the BBC ban and hit number 1 on the UK singles chart in October 1969.
It remained the only BBC banned song to reach number 1 until Frankie Goes to Hollywood did it again with 'Relax' 15 years later.
FGTH made their Top of the Pops debut performing 'Relax' on 5 January 1984. At that specific moment, the song was completely legal and climbing the charts.
Just six days later, on 11 January 1984, BBC Radio 1 DJ Mike Read famously read the lyrics, called them "obscene" and took the record off the turntable mid-broadcast. Within 48 hours the BBC issued a blanket ban across all radio and TV stations.
For almost the whole year, whenever 'Relax' was featured on the weekly Top of the Pops chart countdown (it spent 5 consecutive weeks at number one), the hosts were forbidden from playing it. They had to use still images of the band or play a different song entirely while showing the chart position.
By December 'Relax' had dominated the entire year's airwaves and recognising that it was the defining anthem of the year, the BBC capitulated, lifted the ban and invited them back to close out the year on their TOTP Christmas special including performing their two other mega tracks 'Two Tribes' and 'The Power of Love'.
(Other acts in the 1984 special were Howard Jones, Duran Duran, Nik Kershaw, Culture Club, Thompson Twins, Jim Diamond, Wham!, Paul Young, George Michael (first solo with 'Careless Whisper') and Band Aid).

Fortunate enough to have seen these twice live. This track is a shoe gazing banger!
