Not surprised there’s some Swift vote-splitting, but the extent to which it’s gone and the lack of this zeitgeist-y song seem wild to me.

6. Taylor Swift - “All Too Well (Extended 10-minute version)” (USA; November 2021)

“okay Sage i get that CBS has been gutted & turned into a fascist mouthpiece after a hostile corporate takeover from Bari Weiss, but why did you mention the NYT?”

great question! the current chairman of the NYT is allegedly mentioned as an associate in this latest batch of Epstein emails.
is this referring to the same Sulzberger who is the current chairman of the New York Times?

this would not be the first Epstein associate who was involved in the NYT either 😬

Not one of the headline singles, but the winding melody is something I vividly remember ever since first playing the album

10. “Jellybelly”

A band screwed by label BS, perhaps arriving a few years too early for the indie rock revival of the Aughts. A classic story - but man they had some classic songs too

Harvey Danger - “Pity and Fear” (Flagpole Sitta)

ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

“But sister, it's the opposite of hallelujah
It's the opposite of being you
You don't know 'cause it just passes right through ya
You don't know what I'm going through”

If only the whole 80’s decade had been as glorious and tuneful as this, which feels (to me at least) like a musical homage to it. This guy always kills no matter the setting!

The b side to a song called Jimmy Coma - their first ever release. It’s a good glimpse at how great they would soon be (and still are!)

Pernice Brothers - “Monkey Suit”

The b-side to a version of Maps they played live at AOL studios, this one was way more different than the original and turned a stomper into something truly touching

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - “Our Time” (live acoustic @ AOL)

My wife watched TikToks of a nanny making up songs w/ the kid she was sitting. I went wow they’re catchy - but I never expected such clever, expertly crafted pop that’s topical!

8. Jax - “Victoria’s Secret” (USA; June 2022)
