This ten song record from 2023 is already an underground classic. Is it surfy new wave punk? Punky Disco? Whatever it is ITāS FUCKING GREAT. Lira Mondal is the vocalist I want to hear everyday singing every song. The obvious musical comparison might be Pylon, but thereās also a poppy Romeo Void vibe that Iām fully addicted to. The best record of this year and it came out last year! hahaha!

this used to rank low for me in the discog save for their best song (Grounded) appearing on this record but i feel its finally clicking. maybe the most expansive/adventurous indie record of the 90ās

Holy shit, WU LYF is back and still good and I'm so excited for a new album! "Go Tell Fire to the Mountain" was probably my favorite album when I found it in 2015, but by then, they had already broken up, so hopefully this is a return to form! It sure like it sounds like one!
Bonus Rec: "Go Tell Fire to the Mountain" by WU LYF (wait for the closer, "Heavy Pop")

I would say this is super listenable Political Punk, but I hate the idea that great bands with normal ideas like equality for everyone are āpoliticalāĀ when really itās everyone else who is being boring as hell while upholding the status quo. Lambrini Girls are way too musically wild and way too fun to be tied down to all these words anyways. Even better lyrics than Idles and I really like Idles. I know itās not a competition but if it wasā¦.Take a deep dive into their interviews on YOUTUBE. You will not regret it.

This book says āA Memoir in Verseā on its cover but it DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU DONāT āGETā POETRY OR HATE IT EVEN. This book will change your mind. This is the funniest most fucked up book you will ever be lucky enough to read. Seriously do yourself a favor and get it because I canāt describe seeing a sunset while having an orgasm anymore than I can describe this book.

I just started reading this collection of essays and am absolutely hooked. LaPointeās writing is so incredibly fresh and relatable whether sheās talking about international politics or bad TV. When her Father says ā There are no Native Americans on Americaās Next Top Modelā and she responds āJust moments before I had been angry about the male gaze, about objectification. I stood silent, jaw agape as he continued, They donāt think to include us because they donāt remember us, They donāt even know we exist.āĀ Heartbreak and humor exists on almost every page Iāve read so far and I wake up everyday excited to read more.
