    From a band featured before on these recs, Sunglasses is the perfect accompaniment to your most pathetic of mental episodes. It ostensibly tells of a man trying and failing to project an image of classiness, to the tune of some incredibly wacky yet undeniably groovy post-punk.

    Alexis Marshall is a bastard and ideally, he shouldn't get a single cent. That said, that doesn't extend to his bandmates.

    This one is a real hoe-scarer. It's harrowing from its first note, and without a moment's rest, it stabs you with the sourest guitar of all time. This song is a metal baseball bat to the head.

    Is it Jid? or J-I-D?

    Whichever it is, there's certainly no question that this track bangs. It fucks even. It's a pint of sasquatch testosterone injected straight into your veins. It'll put a jungle on your chest. Each verse just oozes unbelievable hype and machismo. Don't blame me if you start punching dudes unprompted after listening to this track.

    Lowkey not religious, but I might just believe in the antichrist ?

    This might be a yap because Pink Floyd was my favorite band in highschool.

    Roger Waters is as pertinent as he's ever been. People say a lot of shit about him, "Oh, I like his music, but I don't like his politics", among a slew of other things undermining his artistic vision, which was always a union between the music, the theatrics, and the politics.

    And of course, its subject matter screams out eternally through all human ages. It uses feminine imagery to drive home the senseless loss of life during war, much like Southampton Dock, but this Waters is a whole lot wearier after over 7 decades of life. He can hardly even reach those upper registers he used to flaunt on Floyd's more desperate tracks.

    The track ends with yet another Waters staple, zooming into a large issue until it becomes personal. "It feels like deja vu. The sun's gone down and I'm still missing you," hits many of the same tender and intimate notes as Pigs on the Wing.

    You can say a lot about Roger Waters. He even claims that he'd do a better job as God on this song. However, I feel that this track and the whole album, really, will touch the human in you.

    I really gotta learn to swim, my ass is grown.

    That's a whole realm that has been inaccessible to me. It's like playing an old GTA game but never unlocking the 2nd city.

    But how does one even swim? Will it just make sense when I throw myself into the water?

    A more mainstream pick, but it's Kendrick. One of the greatest songwriters of our generation.

    This track is my favorite of the Mr. Morale period, even though it's not on the album. Just incredible lyricism from start to finish, encapsulating the album's wider themes of the cycles of trauma and abuse, specifically in black communities.

    I saw this cursed shit now you must too.

    Not to be political,

    But the reason why slavery is so popular in isekai and isekai-adjacent media is because the only way their audiences can imagine actually getting attention from the opposite sex is by legally owning them.

    I can’t speak towards the generic isekai audience, but a lot of East Asian media carries fetishes that are way more controversial in western spaces.

    Yeah. A lot of the fetishes that Japan showcases have become my blacklisted. Something that pisses me off is the instant "I love him now for no apparent reason" trope. I don't mind a harem, but make it realistic. I may make a thread about this. And more

    I don't mind a harem, but I just want do be dominated. Someone fuck me hard so life is not the only one fucking me.

    This one definitely isn't for everyone, more so than my other recs.

    But this track and video is the human experience condensed into a rushed smoke break. In post-rock fashion, it builds on an established motif that explodes into an intense, dissonant, and almost overwhelming whirr of guitars and programmed drums that HAS to make you feel something.

    Try if you like post-rock, dissonance, or yuri.

    How do I clean my IG reels algorithm? It's full of Italian brainrot that I don't even enjoy.

    On a side note... *pulls paper out of my woke hat* calling Tung Tung Tung Sahur Italian brainrot when it's very obviously Indonesian is cultural appropriation.

    All this fanfic discourse is reminding me of the disconnect between online literary spaces and art spaces. You can perfectly make a career out of doing fanart on Patreon (looking at you, Khyle) or commissions, but I wonder why that's generally more of a sensitive issue when it comes to fics.

    Which is why my final stance is do whatever you want. Get your money while you can, homie.

    A gorgeous track from possibly my favorite album of all time. Incredible musicianship, tasteful blend of genres and sounds, and potent songwriting. The use of the Concorde jet as a metaphor for a sunk-cost relationship is genius, and the climax feels like watching a jet take off without you.

    Listen if you like symphonic/progressive rock.
