I wanted the first few posts to be about me, about stuff I like to do, things I like to watch and music I like to listen to. So that you will get to know me better 😉 Music is the next thing on the list for me. I grew up mostly listening to pop songs on the radio, but I only liked the english ones, german music is not for me most of the time xD But I also really liked Indie stuff, Bastille, Imagine Dragons, and The Score, some of which were just not played on the radio at that time. I guess you all know “Pompeii” and “Radioactive” by now, because they have been played so often, but do you also know “Anchor” or “Friction”?

My husband listens to… other music xD He is a fan of metal songs, but also listens to folklore a lot, even bands that are clothed and choose their song topics fitting to a medieval setting. And some of the songs he likes, I got to like to. For example, I like to listen to old folklore songs by Santiano (even in german sometimes xD), elvish songs by Oonagh(really recommending her) and I even have some songs by Heilung I listen to from time to time. So his special taste has rubbed off on me at least a bit 😉 But there are also songs I really like and he does not really enjoy listing to!

I was always a fan of nightcore music, even though I can’t tell you how I got to listen to it for the first time. I guess it just popped up on my YouTube start screen and I clicked 😛 For all of you who don’t know what Nightcore is, it’s basically a remix style in which the song is speed up and the vocals are pitched. That oftentimes makes the songs sound like anime girls could have sung them, which is why it’s popular to have some kind of anime-style picture in the background of a nightcore music video. It’s not as high pitched as you might think now, if you are interested you should just type nightcore in your YouTube search bar and listen to some of the recommended songs^^

I can’t tell you what’s so fascinating about that style of music to me, but in most cases, when I find a song I like, I will go look for the nightcore version of it ASAP. And most of the time, I will find the nightcore version even better than the original! But sometimes it also happened that I just could not found a nightcore version or the ones available did not sound that good to me. Back in the day that would only leave me disappointed, but nowadays it is actually an opportunity because I have an own nightcore channel on YouTube now! It’s called “Mad Hattress Nightcore” if you want to take a look 😉

It’s hard to keep uploading on a frequent basis because of spending most of my time with university stuff lately. But it also can be hard to find a new song to do, when most songs are already been made into nightcore… Still, when I find new songs and get to do my thing, I always enjoy it and I am really proud. I actually started it while finding more time staying at home during corona times, but I plan to keep it up after too.

If you’d like you can tell me what music you like to listen to. Please tell me if you have known about nightcore before and if not, how it sounds to you^^

Greetings and good wishes
The Mad Hattress
