Monthly Music Recap (May 2023) + Europe Trip Recap
May 2023's recap for my favorite singles and projects.
Welcome back to the monthly recap of my top singles and projects. I understand that not everyone has the time to go through weekly new music releases, so this recap is a way for me to provide a summary of new music that everyone should check out.
I’m listing my top singles and projects each month in no particular order (other than alphabetical), so check out at the end of each month or the beginning of the new month for a monthly recap. Each month might differ in terms of number of entries, as this will depend on the number of new releases, which can vary from month to month. The number this month is 20 (twenty).
Europe Trip Recap
I really enjoyed my time in the Netherlands and Germany. I was pretty much traveling via train and was very fortunate to have avoided the train and airport strikes during the month (I don’t blame the strikes - the workers should be paid more, but it would have made the trip a little less great in time).
I visited quite a few places, so here is a list of the places I’ve visited (in no particular order):
The Netherlands
Kaatsheuvel (Efteling)
Rotterdam
Kinderdijk
Delft
Den Haag (The Hague)
Utrecht
Amsterdam
Lisse (Keukenhof)
Germany
Frankfurt
Trier
Hamburg
Berlin
I thought of showing some photos during the trip, so enjoy the photos (with captions) below. If you’re interested in seeing more photos, DM me at Leland #2878 on Discord.

And there you have it, my top singles and projects for the month of May 2023. Again, my intention is to provide a summary so that people can check out music if they don’t have enough time to do so. This list also gives you a taste of my favorite genres, and I hope you enjoy every one of them like I do. Happy listening!
P.S. If you want to actually stalk what I’m listening to at any time, feel free to do so on my Last.fm profile here. You can also check out my Musicboard profile here, where I track my backlog (under Listen Later) and reviews for music releases. Don’t worry, the long reviews are here to stay and I do also crosspost the long reviews there too.
On a less music-related note, I have a Letterboxd account here in case you’re interested in seeing which films I’m watching along with my brief film reviews. I also have a Serializd account for TV shows here. If you're into reading, I have a LGBTQIA+ story published on Tapas, featuring an aroace agender character which you can check out here.
