Prince - Electric Chair (SNL 1989)
Chuck Klosterman: "This was when the idea of emailing someone to do an interview was just starting to be possible. So my coworker Rob emailed Prince ten questions. And he answered all of them. And a lot of the questions, he would just answer with what would now be called emojis. Like we'd ask him a question, and he'd just send back a picture of a human eye. Or he would send back a pyramid or whatever. Except the one question he totally answered - and this was around the time they were talking about contracting the Twins and the Nationals - for some reason Rob asked him a question about that, and he gave a very cogent, full answer to that question."
Kevin Morby - I Have Been To The Mountain
Devo: This is the type of track this blog was built upon.
Baywaves - Time Is Passing U By
Whiskey: If you've worn out Tame Impala's Currents and want more, check these guys out. Heard them on Spotify's new Fresh Finds playlist, which I highly recommend. Are they crawling PFOS?!
Bibi Bourelly - Sally
Benny: I've been dancing around my room in my undies listening to Sally on repeat. And going back and forth between listening to Ego and writing in my journal crying.
Hamburger Helper - Watch the Stove
Meat MD: In the pantheon of themed mixtapes, it's no meow the jewels, but it's still got some flaaaame to it.

The National - Morning Dew
Jeffrey: Courtney Barnett's strung out, deadpan thing (which I typically dig) is probably not the best match for Speedway Boogie, which requires a certain gusto.
Kendrick Lamar - Untitled 03
Shmoo: It's a jam session jazz album. The type of stuff that'll get spins in River North and Logan Square. This dude is playing a different game.
Sturgill Simpson - In Bloom
Pooh Bear: I listened to this yesterday and fucking hated it but now I think I love it? So confused!
WOODS - Moving To The Left
Ding: Mad deep in the Woods right now and I can't find my way out. Hitting the back catalog hard.
Car Seat Headrest - Vincent
Jo Jo: The idea that we get hooked on bad songs because they're played on repeat doesn't seem novel to me. I also like smoking cigarettes even though they're bad for me. It's ironic that Billy Corgan is interviewed in this piece because "1979" is a flaming pile of shit that became popular because it was played on alternative radio 24/7 until we all just kind of gave up and agreed it was a hit.

White Denim - Ha Ha Ha Ha (Yeah)
Ding: Me: Hey doll, how about some hot white D?
Her: Gross. Also, I'm imaginary.
Me: Right.
Seinabo Sey - Pretend
Meat MD: Sometimes she sounds like the sad song in a mediocre musical, but most of the time she's pretty great.
Mass Gothic - Every Night You've Got To Save Me
Muppeteer: Please don't let the name scare you, this Mass Gothic shit is the opposite of what the name sounds like. The singer in video does look like he's had a rough go of things though.
JATA - Ebony
Hollering: Proven to help fight seasonal affective disorder.
Brian Eno & David Byrne - Strange Overtones
Muppeteer: Fell down a Bowie hole this week and wound up in Talking Heads territory.
