Such a great song. I love how Rachel belts. She has the best rock scream voice I have ever heard, and that’s one reason why “Wavebreaker” is one of my favorite songs I’ve found in the last year.
Music Video
Chilli Beans. – School
Fun song, and the music video genre of “attractive Japanese women goofing around” is one I can certainly get behind.
Joaquina – los 41
¡Eso sí es pop del bueno! Me flipa cuando se pone a mover el pelazo por todos lados. Y lo de fumarse una piruleta…me mató de risa.
La rappresentante di lista – E la luna bussò
È una buona canzone. Il mio italiano non è ancora molto fluente. Penso che più canzoni dovrebbero avere una sezione fiati.
Muireann Bradley – Clay Pigeons
God what a great cover.
Bitter Water – The Kissing Disease
A very small artist I found. Good song. Sounds like a blend of early Nirvana and Wet Leg.
The New Eves – Red Brick
Love that Brighton accent! Good song. That’s the weirdo noisy stuff I’m all about.
Phoebe Bridgers – I Know the End
How did I not know this amazing song has an equally wonderful video? Phoebe is a truly great poet. But the video. Wow. The symbolism! The weirdness! It’s a mini-masterpiece. It couldn’t be more different than AI slop pap.
(Incidentally, the skeleton suit Phoebe is wearing has a male pelvis.)
Hatchie – Only One Laughing
Brand new, but has a definite 90s dream pop vibe; I like it a lot.
Katie Tupper – Tennessee Heat
Nice song. If I can find 21 new (to me) songs I quite like in the last three days, anyone who is saying there’s no good new music is a confirmed cracksmoker.
Cuspid – Nematode
I saw not a single nematode in the work, but I like the song and the video.
Niet Nyet
Nope. That’s the elementary school reading of Nietzsche.
Now to what ol’ Friedrich was actually getting at. He was saying that all knowledge and progress is from a perspective, and furthermore was observing that with the loss of binding religion that had pervaded all culture, we’d need to create new horizons and values, of many different kinds, all instantiated by and for humans rather than handed down from some higher power or metaphysical authority.
In other words, we must become the god we killed; Nietzsche was not saying all hope of a shared future or futures was lost, but that now we were wholly in charge of creating any of that.
As I’ve said before, the philosopher Baby Queen understands Nietzsche better than most people who read him, including Nils Gilman.
Mazzy Star – Fade Into You (LIVE)
I love how bass-heavy this version is. That bassist has such a unique style and playing method, too. I think she holds it like that because she’s small, but it’s really good no matter. Mazzy Star is one of the few bands that I listened to in the 1990s that I enjoy the same amount today, and listen to fairly often still.
Renee Christine – Turtle Island
Lord, what a voice! Loved this.
Tchotchke – Playin’ Dumb
This is great. It really nails the Phil Spector-esque “wall of sound.” It even has the appropriate key change in the last 1/4 of the song. So much fun.
