| 1 | Not Secured, Loose Ends | "Wish/" | paradox soar | We have a political process nominally based on elaborately established performative trust, |
| 2 | LiSA | "play the world!" | single | but I trust random groups of four Japanese women with no visible backing band |
| 3 | ЯeaL | "Dead or Alive" | single | far more deeply than I trust most of the people for whom I will wholeheartedly vote. |

| 10 | PLANCK STARS | "WAKE ME UP" | single | if I thought that was a possible mode of our system. |
| 11 | KAQRIYOTERROR | "BWG" | Avant-Garde 0 point | But I'm not sure it is, |
| 12 | SOL | "Sola" | single | and I suspect this means I distrust our system, systemically: |
| 13 | Kolokol | "Dead End" | Dead End +1 | government by faction and surreptitious sponsored bias, |
| 14 | Underbeasty | "Real Blade" | Real Blade +2 | entropic economies of "profit" disappearing over oligarchical event horizons, |
| 15 | Not Secured, Loose Ends | "Arrhythmia" | paradox soar | endless growth as an unsustainable substitution for goals, |
| 16 | Starkill | "Reckless and Infinite" | single | circular self-destructive optimization of proxy metrics, |
| 17 | Rave The Reqviem | "Riptide" | single | nihilist suction. |
| 18 | Regardless Of Me | "Awake" | Black Flowers Blossom | And yet I trust strangers singing in languages I can't follow in real-time, |
| 19 | Vajra | "Maya" | single | and often don't bother to look up, |
| 20 | Cordelia | "Op My Knieë" | single | even though I'm usually happy to have done so when I do, |
| 21 | Helion Prime | "The Gadfly" | single | or maybe because. |
| 22 | Crown Of Glory | "Emporium of Dreams" | Ad Infinitum | It's not that you can't sing bad ideas. |
| 23 | Dark Tranquillity | "Phantom Days" | single | Songs elicit your dreams, |
| 24 | Mors Principium Est | "Lost in a Starless Aeon" | Lost in a Starless Aeon +1 | and you can have terrible dreams. |
| 25 | Genus Ordinis Dei | "Hunt" | Ritual / Hunt 2 | In our ongoing assembly of peace, |
| 26 | Mörk Gryning | "A Glimpse of the Sky" | single | art can still be weaponry, |
| 27 | The Unguided | "Never Yield" | single | perpetuating the war even in the interest of ending it. |
| 28 | Once Awake | "Last Days" | Last Days 5 | But the wires and knobs of anti-fascist machines |
| 29 | Skeletoon | "Nemesis" | single | are not expended in blows. |
| 30 | Eternal Idol | "Into the Darkness" | single | Art can beckon towards the void, |
| 31 | Apulanta | "60 uutta ongelmaa" | single | but not without the motion becoming a dance, |
| 32 | 9mm Parabellum Bullet | "ロードムービー" | 白夜の日々 3 | and the dance becoming an orbit |
| 33 | BLUE ENCOUNT | "Supernova" | single | that distracts the sun from its despair, |
| 34 | BUMP OF CHICKEN | "Gravity" | single | and thus grants us another bright day not waiting to die, |
| 35 | climbgrow | "閃光" | CULTURE | another chance for light to fall or stab into passages |
| 36 | SLOTHREAT | "ILLUMINATE" | single | that lead into buried kingdoms prepared for our return. |
| 37 | Soul Glo | "(Quietly) Do the Right Thing" | single | If you want to forgive your enemy, invite them to teach you their toxicity as song. |
| 38 | The Anix | "Die With You (After Life)" | Die With You (After Life) +1 | You can sing bad songs, |
| 39 | Zora Jones | "Melancholy Princess" | Ten Billion Angels | but not without letting them go, |
| 40 | Fraxiom | "on the porch" | single | and thus validating our shared air. |
| 41 | 1 800 PAIN | "DESTROYUSALL" | BEST HOUSE ON A BAD BLOCK | I don't look down on people who don't read or listen to music |
| 42 | lil rhiz0me | "outs1de" | single | until I've quickly climbed out of reach of their tiny rabid paws. |
| 43 | POPSTARBILLS | "SO LIT!" | single | Art makes us human. |
| 44 | 5v | "Höchste Zeit" | single | Even simple art makes us simply human. |
| 45 | Tonser | "Candle" | single | Resisting art is like vaccine refusal in logistical reverse, |
| 46 | Kevinhilfiger | "pop rocks" | single | correctly distrusting a transformation that will make you better |
| 47 | grandee | "dirt" | single | because you have attached your identity to disease. |
| 48 | Akure | "Go" | single | I trust random pseudonymous pitch-shifted millennials |
| 49 | hm.wav | "Fntsy/Dream" | single | at the same time as I fully expect to pass them unmasked on the street. |

| 53 | Uniform | "The Shadow of God's Hand" | Shame | in lawsuits received after campaign rallies. |
| 54 | Theotoxin | "Through Hundreds of Years" | Fragment : Erhabenheit | Public-policy proposals are hard, |
| 55 | Ihsahn | "Losing Altitude" | Pharos 5 | and can encode moral failure in complex and implicative ways. |
| 56 | Völur | "Psychopomp II" | Psychopomp 2 | But dancing on a rooftop is easy |
| 57 | Lafawndah | "Old Prayer" | The Fifth Season | if you are willingly human, |
| 58 | Playa Cuberris | "Gigantes" | single | and onerously impossible if you are too afraid of even descending ramps to climb that last flight of stairs. |
| 59 | David Otero | "La Noche Suena" | single | The problem is not that we chose Hamilton's country over Jefferson's, |
| 60 | David DeMaría | "Nueva vida" | Capricornio | it's that we kept both of their corpses in badly-sealed cases until they decayed into flaccid caricatures of antagonism as principle |
| 61 | Fish | "This Party's Over" | single | and then we elected them to represent Kentucky in the Senate. |
| 62 | Richard Thompson | "As Soon As You Hear The Bell" | Bloody Noses EP 6 | Look around when the anti-fascist machine turns on. |

| 67 | Shrimp | "fear of failure / scared of success" | single | We have 50 years until AOC is Nancy Pelosi's age, |
| 68 | Bob Mould | "Siberian Butterfly" | Siberian Butterfly +2 | and my dream is not about the transfer of power but its munificent dissipation. |
| 69 | Slick Shoes | "The Worlds Were Mine" | The Worlds Were Mine +3 | I want to see our pathological government dismantled by the industrious and elated, |
| 70 | Saltatio Mortis | "Löwenherz" | Löwenherz +3 | not plastered over with self-aggrandizing wallpaper by the indolent and bloated. |
| 71 | I Botanici | "Sfortuna (feat. maggio & Tanca)" | single | I don't idolize nations, |
| 72 | Marmi | "Tu Foto Del DNI" | single | even during this collapse of my own country's self-respect and decency, |
| 73 | Not Secured, Loose Ends | "Mezzo Forte" | paradox soar | or especially. |
| 74 | Colouring | "Fading" | single | We have built walls to hold you out, but we will tear them down again. |
| 75 | Anakin | "Solstice" | @-4 2 | We are a gallery of misconceptions. |

| 78 | Julie Bergan | "One Touch" | HARD FEELINGS: Ventricle 2 4 | ready to celebrate how slightly less wrong we made each other. |
| 79 | Black Motion | "Uleleni" | single | You cannnot sing a bad song without admitting that songs are made out of wonder, |
| 80 | Azana | "Umaqondana" | Ingoma | and thus you cannot really sing a bad song. |
| 81 | Songhoy Blues | "Barre" | Barre +2 | Open your mouth and inhale to sing a cynical word, |
| 82 | Ijong'elihle | "Indoda Ayijoli" | Igwinya Nojeqe | and the air from better songs gets inside of you, |
| 83 | We Will Kaleid | "Mogilalia" | single | and you get to make only this decision: |
| 84 | Danheim | "Runar" | single | stop breathing, or let your voice amplify every other message along with your own. |
| 85 | Down for Whatever | "Ennyi Volt" | Zuhanás | Music discovery isn't just a subscription-service retention vector, |
| 86 | Andromida | "The Abyss" | single | it's a scaffolding bolted over the molten chasms in our souls. |
| 87 | Sole Massif | "Former Survivors Data" | Capture | Art can bear us downwards, accelerating towards darkness and flame, |
| 88 | Jesse Osborne-Lanthier | "Self Care, Covered in Potting Soil" | Left My Brain @ Can Paixano (La Xampanyeria) OST | wings pressed obdurately against our sides in misguided defense of aerodynamics as teleology, |
| 89 | The Future Sound Of London | "Cascade, Pt. 7" | Cascade 2020 | but only by admitting that we have wings. |
| 90 | It Lives, It Breathes | "Mad World" | single | We may let ourselves be unheard by people who won't even hear themselves sing, |
| 91 | Disturbed | "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" | single | but we are also the tireless archivists of every unsung song as it is unsung, |

| 93 | Bronnie | "All the Things She Said" | single | armorers of bright swords that can pass through everything but flesh, |
| 94 | Volymian | "Larger Than Life" | single | and the mechanics of every machine that destroys silence. |
