1. Rosalie Chilvers - "Ego Tripping". Seattle teenager Chilvers mashes up Blondie and Hole. Crunchy guitar stabs and expressive vocals make this the week's most earwormy new release.

In case an 850-song playlist is a bit too much, here's my playlist of the top 60 songs of 2023. #music

The song that made my day 2023.11.18:
Protomartyr - "Elimination Dances (live on The Late Show)"
Insistent postpunk from Detroit art rockers. Now I remember who IDLES remind me of! #music

The song that made my day 2023.11.13:
The Rabbles - "Trash Days"
A goosebump-inducing thick slice of authentic San Francisco psychedelic garage rock circa 2010 by The Rabbles, featuring Marina Lazzara on vocals. From a newly released compilation of Marina's songs recorded with The Rabbles ("Saw That Satellite", "Mind's Rhyme" and "Dissenter's Descent" from the same release all also made my day today.) #music

The song that made my day 2023.11.12:
Boygenius - "Not Strong Enough (live on SNL)"
I've already gushed over this song, but last night's performance on SNL deserves a special mention: the cheeky Beatles references (font used for the band name on the bass drum, suits, ties, boots, and Phoebe's Rickenbacker is a dead-ringer for John's) and the sheer joy they bring to the stage, jumping up and down during the break. The sneaky key change still gets me, too. #music

Um, Motorhead's metal classic "Ace of Spades" reimagined as a funky soul raveup? Yes, please!

The song that made my day 2023.06.24:
Billy Nomates - "Balance is Gone".
This song first made my day several months ago, but I didn't have time to write it up here. I was reminded to do so because she's recently been targeted by trolls for personal abuse online. I think she's brilliant and this song is a particularly good example of that. It's okay not to agree, but it's not okay to be a bully and an asshole about it.

Hi folks: I'd like to invite you to check out this project I've been working on for a couple months now and just launched. I call it The Oneiric Discotheque. It'll be a series of guided YouTube playlists; I'll be curating the music and walking you through the tracks. Episode 1 focuses on 10 recent (spring 2023) songs and can be found at the link above. Future episodes may focus on the music of a particular year, artist, genre, instrument, etc. #music #CoSoMusic

Happy birthday Red and Blue albums. The blue album was the first Beatles album I ever got, back in 1978 (my mom still had her copy of Meet the Beatles around from when she was a teenager, but that doesn't count). This article doesn't mention it but the font on the front cover is 1970s AF.

The song that made my day 2023.03.31:

boygenius - "the film"

OK, I'm cheating a bit since this is a short film featuring 3 songs ("$20", "Emily I'm Sorry", and "True Blue") from the new boygenius record "the record". boygenius is a collaborative effort featuring Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, who are all great on their own, but blended together their voices are melting me into a puddle.

I listen religiously (lol) to the The History Of Philosophy Without Any Gaps podcast, and I love music, so I was especially excited about today's new episode: an introduction to Afrofuturism featuring brief overviews of Sun Ra and Parliament-Funkadelic, and an exploration of Octavia Butler's science fiction novel Kindred. Next episode will include Bob Marley and Fela Kuti. #music #philosophy #afrofuturism

The song that made my day 2023.02.12:

Andy Bell - "Something Like Love"

Andy Bell so thoroughly embodies the spirit of shoegaze that even stripped down to acoustic guitar and vocal, he makes those resonate as if drenched in reverb. When he sings "Burn down the world for me" I half want to do it.

The song that made my day 2023.01.29:
Complete Mountain Almanac - "February"

From a song cycle created by a Swedish musician, an American poet, and the poet's brothers, who also happen to be members of The National. A lilting whirl of strings plucked, strummed and bowed by turns cushion and counterpoint the gorgeous voicings of the evocative lyrics.

The song that made my day 2023.01.22:

Screaming Females - "Brass Bell"

This is a prog-punk tour de force, from the loopy synth that blurs, decays and is replaced by the full band playing it in stop/start time, through the multiple distinct interlocking sections (including not one but two metal-inspired guitar solos). The singer keeps saying it's too loud but trust me, you're going to want it loud.

The song that made my day 2023.01.18:

John Handy - "Hard Work"

With its casually swinging saxophone and funky bass gelling into such a sweet groove my first guess would have been late '60s, Blue Note. But surprise! This was released on the Impulse! label and recorded in 1976 by a group led by John Handy on the sax.
