an emerging aesthetic thread I'm enjoying lately is music that sounds like Elder Millennial Valhalla, if you go on the idea that the ultimate ecstatic sound in this context is M83's "Midnight City" - this new Jam City record is a good example jam-city.bandcamp.com/album/my-wor...

love to see soulless creeps with zero interest in art gloat about how their technology will create better art - like, why would anyone trust you to know what's good or not? you were just aimlessly looking for something to "disrupt" and you landed on human creativity

I feel like this genre/era is due for a Yacht Rock-like reappraisal. This is a great place to start.

I really hope the U2 song with Dolly Parton is just her singing so there's a symmetry with Zooropa ending with a song entirely sung by Johnny Cash

There are some absolute bangers on this list. “Piano In The Dark” “Shattered Dreams” “Hold On My Heart” That’s the good shit.

recent live experiences have locked in my feeling that Darkside's Nothing is one of the very best records in any genre made in this decade, and that Erykah Badu & The Alchemist's Before the World Blows is one of the best records released this year

the playlist I'm working on now may be the exact opposite of this one, but in the exact same time period - can you guess it?

Miley Cyrus may be an extremely hit or miss pop star but who else at her level is going to be cool enough to be like "yeah, I NEED to work with Model/Actriz"

sometimes it feels like there's two totally different guys who record as Beck and every once in a while there's a new record and it's the other guy's turn

can't make assumptions about total strangers but what if two people found each other because of the playlist with "Squirmish Frontal Room" and "6 Dick Pimp" and "Elixir is Zog"on it? I believe in romance

comics people always love to make doomer statements like this but if you know anything about the newspaper and magazine industries, it now looks like the comics industry made a pretty good long term call with the direct market

a lot of much worse things to not like about this era but I truly hate how commonly people describe food as "viral" now as a positive descriptor, you'd think a global pandemic might put people off that word a bit but no
