Swans - The Seer (2012) it may surprise you to know ive listened to the other two but never went all the way through this one! after so much time away from the ultra-tiring circlejerk, giving swans a look with fresh eyes... yeah, this is just a monumental post-rock album. essential HUGE music.

Bruno Pernadas - Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles Will Be Asked to Retrieve Them (2016) love stuff that can scratch the stereolab itch, except this is a lot more free flowing and loopy about it. melted my brain a little i think i can smell burning plastic

Swaggerboyz - Perdiendo rasgos adolescentes (2026) im gonna be so for real it kinda dripped off my white boy brain as i was listening to it but i will always love psychedelic shit crammed into hip hop. gets an extra .5 for the cover. bro's name is AgusFortnite2008

Fast Five (2011) no number of hero-only clauses in film contracts can ever hide the fact that the rock is so much more fun whenever he plays a villain. cutting out the street race right when it was about to start is a sin.

The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026) it's been a while since i've seen a movie not just tiring but, in itself, completely tired. the passions of a million people burnt on a project where everyone is too exhausted to even give shitty marvel quips. if they called it The Baby Yoda Movie itd make a billion

Hesse Kassel - Morir saltano (2026) genre tags to make a man salivate. this shit is so good. smooth as butter. chile has been having a massive genre-spanning musical revival and ive been completely missing it LOL i gotta catch up

Synecdoche, New York (2008) you know, it really is never too late to transition

Silver Jews - The Natural Bridge (1996) yeah, i'm in a mood. silver jews is maybe the most pacific northwest band ever that isn't actually from there. still miss you, david.

Silver Jews - American Water (1998) not to just play off the name or anything, but this album feels like the Great American Novel in music form. pitchfork were cowards for not giving this a 10 on release, 9.9 my ass.

In the Mood for Love (2000) ...fuck.

Nirosta Steel - My Skyscraper (2026) sometimes an album takes 40 years to come out and that's okay. the lo-fi production can have its way (especially with the vocals) sometimes, but, like, boss trix is a required track to get cracked to. somewhere between psychic chasms and bait ones.

Cake - Comfort Eagle (2001) i think the particular flavor of white boy i happen to be has something to do with the fact that i was born the day this album came out. they don't make white guys with this type of sauce anymore.

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black (2006) from the self-reflection to the production, it feels flawed in all the ways we tend to be flawed. hard-pressed to find another album this honest. we still miss you, girl.

Floating Points - Shadows (2011) i'm REALLY in this mood now. felt like it went by in 20 minutes, which is wild for an EP starting with a ten minute track. love u floating points so glad u finally found ur flowers this decade

Four Tet - There Is Love in You (2010) while i'm here, this is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. if my rym favorite artists page wasnt already taken up permanently by an lcd soundsystem gag, four tet would firmly have a spot now. life-affirming, warm, summery stuff. feels like cuddling.

Deftones - Eros (2008 / 2026) number 1600. i would have preferred for the band to release this on their own accord but, still, what a surreal experience to finally have this in some form, even if it's messy and unmastered. a fantastic missing link i never thought i'd ever hear.

Sonic Youth - Goo (1990) damn, these guys were actually on some gourmet shit. i gotta circle back on daydream nation again

[joe biden voice] hello,

Dredd (2012) i'm aware that it is the raid but also dredd. however, it knows what it's doing shockingly well for a nihilistic hyperviolent cop movie.

Slayyyter - Wor$t Girl in America (2026) bangers on bangers on bangers. i know what every furry rave dj who runs out of ideas is gonna cram into their set now. did you know that rym has a bisexual descriptor tag?

making an evil, evil man. not gonna divulge a lot about him for now. he's in kenny's story. :)

Genesis Owusu - Redstar Wu & the Worldwide Scourge (2026) woke is back! such a surreal but incredibly well-executed mix of genres here. the horse ate a glowstick thjats why he look like that

Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place (2003) please help. how do i reach through the computer screen to touch the album. this is so fucking beautiful man

Neurosis - An Undying Love for a Burning World (2026) "huh, the lead singer sure sounds a lot like the guy from isis." turns out the lead singer is the guy from isis. good ass guitar tones!

only got 120 cities on the US city quiz, am i cooked

JPEGMAFIA - Experimental Rap (2026) peggy gets corncobbed. an inessential sound & fury album that successfully induces you to forget why jpegmafia was one of the most essential artists of the past 10 years. he met kanye west, he's never going to fail - type shit.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) you ever realize that every piece of media in a genre is locked in conversation with one particular work? yeah everything about aliens has something to do with this movie.

The Bourne Supremacy (2004) this is what happens when you, as a geopolitical entity, have no more actual enemies left to fight. no, al-qaeda didn't count. why did they instill a state of perma-zoomies in the camera guy the whole movie

Mulholland Drive (2001) i think i understand it pretty alright actually
