What I'm listening to today: "Junior Kickstart", The Go! Team
This is my favorite video on YouTube. The Go Team in their Gleeful Copyright Infringement Era doing a lovesong to 70s funk with a music video that's a love letter to 70s film, reverse-engineering the soundtrack to the most iconic New York story ever told. Everything you could ask for is here, suspense, tranquility, triumph— and horror.

What I'm listening to today: "the TV show", Kosuke Sugimoto and Takayuki Manabe
No no wait, THIS is my favorite video on YouTube. A beautifully plotted 2009 independent animation with an incredibly catchy, pseudo-chiptune original score that stands out by itself as a classic of circa-2010 glitchy "electro"¹.
This is the kind of thing you'll get the premise immediately but need to watch at least three times to fully Get it
