growing up i always really loved If You Leave whenever i’d hear it on the radio and i remember the day i finally figured out the name of the band, i never stopped listening. really surprising experimental weird stuff on their first four albums that pairs really well with their poppier stuff. Enola Gay, Georgia, Souvenir, and Telegraph are some of my favs.

one of my favorite, most slept-on bands ever. cheesy 80s pop that has no right to be as lyrically impressive and self-aware as it is. also they did a mostly instrumental record in 2003 called I Trawl the Megahertz that’s all string arrangements with radio interview samples blended in if that’s more your thing. awesome range, Cars and Girls was my most listened to song of 2024. also the singer dresses like that now so u know he’s the real deal

throw your hands around the fire!!!
i looove The Orion Experience, they make such fun, electric and bubbly pop-rock. i always feel like i’m in some sort of dionysian ritual, but like in modern times, when listening to this song.
check out all of their discography! one of my personal favourites is Queen of White Lies, even though i like almost all of their songs.
Have fun!

this is the debut from canadian emo band Arms Length. an absolute modern masterpiece for emo music.
the lyrics on this thing are tortured, dealing with themes of memory, family, loss, and isolation. compositionally i love it. tasteful strings and twinkling riffs over heavy blasts of sound. and speaking of sound, it’s mixed and mastered beautifully. every listen gives me something new to chew on.
personally, this one also got me through the roughest period in my adult life. i heard them for the first time live when they were opening for heart attack man right before this album came out. i was absolutely floored by their performance. something about this band breathed life into me and god that’s what i love so much abt music :) my fave songs on it are formative age and everything as i knew it. tough love is a fuckin banger too

whole movie is full of arresting moments that just really grab me but the RV scene where everyone’s screaming at each other in the road is pretty top notch.
