| 1 | Kate Tempest | "Unholy Elixir" | single | You might as well know from the outset that there is going to be one about a truck, and one that sounds hopeless. |
| 2 | 王彙筑 | "It's All Imagination" | single | "No songs about trucks" is a good simple rule, |
| 3 | Saint Agnes | "And They All Fall Down" | single | and like most good simple rules it can get you far, |
| 4 | Snow Tha Product | "Perico" | single | as long as you don't care exactly where you end up |
| 5 | TORRES | "Dressing America" | Silver Tongue | or say you do but think you already know what it smells like. |
| 6 | Ravenna Golden | "Racecar." | single | Rules, like songs, can be lined up |
| 7 | Lucia & The Best Boys | "City of Angels" | Eternity 4 | to tell a fable about a way some universe could function, |
| 8 | LAYNE | "Pittsburgh" | single | about some city in which angels could live and work, |
| 9 | Mint Julep | "Unite" | Stray Fantasies | and what happened when some mundane bubble-era tech company put a mundane call-center there |
| 10 | Caveboy | "Lifetime" | Night in the Park, Kiss in the Dark | and then spectacularly collapsed. |
| 11 | Butterfingers | "Dancing (To The Beat Of My Own Drum)" | single | We are the survivors of spectacular collapse, |
| 12 | Gameboi | "Sucker" | single | whether nostalgic or anticipatory, |
| 13 | Lil Darkie | "KNUP" | single | defined by things we refuse to accept, |
| 14 | Wstdyth | "Black Skies" | single | but will be discovered to have saved. |
| 15 | Kevin Rudolf | "Social Anxiety" | single | It is foolish to demand consistency, for us or from us, |
| 16 | Mobius | "Mukti" | Kala | which doesn't keep us from seeking it in our leaders. |
| 17 | Neopera | "Euphoria" | In Memoriam | We dream of being lead by our mythic selves, |
| 18 | Killin' Baudelaire | "Lullaby" | single | which is another way of saying that we only tolerate guidance we can think of |
| 19 | South Haven | "Better" | single | as our own moral inertia molded in plastic and then doubted in real-time by petulant blue dots. |
| 20 | Ad Infinitum | "Marching on Versailles" | single | We cannot be marshaled towards unfamiliar palaces, |
| 21 | Amberian Dawn | "Eternal Fire Burning" | Looking For You | and thus advocacy for change is usually some kind of burnished atavism, |
| 22 | The Unity | "We Don't Need Them Here" | single | fit like armor around swollen pride, |
| 23 | Serenity | "Souls and Sins" | The Last Knight | misconstruing inflamation for strength. |
| 24 | Ascend The Hollow | "Polaris Calling" | single | We dream of our precepts disintegrating |
| 25 | Rides In ReVellion | "-Hankouseimei-" | -Hankouseimei- +1 | because asleep we know: |
| 26 | GANG PARADE | "FiX YOUR TEETH" | 涙のステージ / FiX YOUR TEETH 2 | our placidity is cosmetic |
| 27 | Yume Miru Adolescence | "MAKING THE NOTE" | single | but our rapture is recurrent; |
| 28 | Sangatsu no Phantasia | "Smoke" | single | we were basically right when we knew almost nothing, |
| 29 | Hitomi Yaida | "Go my way" | single | but learning to draw correct conclusions from adequate information is harder than instinct |
| 30 | 熊川みゆ | "sixteen" | single | and more powerful; |
| 31 | Unknöwn Kun | "ロストシープス" | single | we sail on burning ships |
| 32 | Halo at Yojohan | "ヘヴン" | ANATOMIES | and expect to be turned away from our destinations; |
| 33 | Nothing’s Carved In Stone | "Alive" | single | we claim honestly and earnestly that we don't know where we will go next, |
| 34 | Shakra | "Turn the Light On" | single | but you'll notice we're conveniently carrying extra water and a spare pair of shoes. |
| 35 | H.E.A.T | "Dangerous Ground" | single | There will be one about a truck, and a few other clichés before we get there. |
| 36 | Candlemass | "The Pendulum" | single | A cliché is what a chorus leaves behind |
| 37 | Saudade | "Lions" | single | when it molts. |
| 38 | Nechochwen | "The Megalith" | Nechochwen 4 | We transcribe old legends with new ink or warm blood |
| 39 | Panopticon | "Rune's Heart" | single | because we need to know our children will be remembered by wolves. |
| 40 | Ghost Toast | "Frankenstein's" | single | There will be sidelong epics about literally how our hearts mend, |
| 41 | Drakum | "The Big One" | Zombie Dragons from Outer Space | and flagrant operas of denied remorse. |
| 42 | GRAVELLE | "Waste Your Time" | single | None of these nights are spun in vain. |
| 43 | Jadu | "Auf Drei" | single | 3:33 is the radio edit of the beast. |
| 44 | Kalie Shorr | "Angry Butterfly" | Open Book | Our demons have cities the same as the angels. |
| 45 | Ashley McBryde | "Hang In There Girl" | Hang In There Girl +2 | The same cities, naturally. You can't divide a city down the middle and pretend that different gods wait patiently and plaintively at each other's gate. |
| 46 | Carly Pearce | "You Kissed Me First" | single | You can't disentangle what you want from what you suffer from what you survive. |
| 47 | Robyn Ottolini | "F-150" | single | You can say "No songs about trucks", but this isn't a song about a truck, it's a song about how songs about trucks change what trucks mean to us, |
| 48 | Charlotte Sands | "Dream About You" | single | and if songs and decades can invest heartbreak and hope into a stripped model created to avoid emissions regulations, |
| 49 | Not Yet. | "Muslihat" | Not Yet. 5 | we can probably take a slow, short, careful ride without seatbelts |
| 50 | Fish Narc | "WiLDFiRE" | single | or bluetooth or disdain. |
| 51 | M!R!M | "Superstitions" | The Visionary | There will probably be one with beepy synthesizers and stentorian braying, |
| 52 | Occams Laser | "Encom" | Return to the Grid | and something that whooshes, |
| 53 | Dan Deacon | "Bumble Bee Crown King" | Mystic Familiar | and something with a multitheistic sense of its own divinity, |
| 54 | La Casa Azul | "El Colapso Gravitacional" | single | like all the components of a truck disassembled on an event horizon. |
| 55 | Trepàt | "Moverse" | single | We are the implications of every previous collapse, |
| 56 | Cuesta Loeb | "Grass It Grows" | single | so if it sometimes seems like we are only 65% listening while you talk, |
| 57 | JMF | "Ouer As Ek" | single | you should remember that you said all of this before, |
| 58 | Halocene | "Faint" | single | but all the other times we were 15% listening, |
| 59 | Caveboy | "Landslide" | Night in the Park, Kiss in the Dark | and we only just realized that you were always half right. |
| 60 | The Psychedelic Furs | "Don't Believe" | single | You don't have to believe us, or colors, or tears, or anything, but we told you that in 1981 and here you are again. We could have had a rule about hopelessness, too, but we need a capacity for absorbing despair more than we need a lift gate and bad mileage. These trucks collide, and then they're finished. But the dreams collide, and then we begin. |
