| 1 | Jónsi | "Salt Licorice (with Robyn) - Radio Edit" | single | You could claim, at least as plausibly as seems to be the standard for claiming things these days, that Robyn invented hyperpop. |
| 2 | Roxette | "Let Your Heart Dance With Me" | single | Except maybe it was Roxette, which means maybe it was ABBA. This isn't the best Roxette song ever, but it has Marie singing, and thus reaches the joyous irrational part of my brain that thinks all tragedy is temporary, |
| 3 | Metalite | "We Bring You the Stars" | single | not just all grief. |
| 4 | Amaranthe | "Fearless" | Manifest | We do not fear tears of snow-white sorrow. |
| 5 | Surma | "Until It Rains Again" | single | The rain keeps returning, but it definitely fades in between. |
| 6 | Louna | "Начало нового круга" | Начало нового круга | How do they manage in non-cyclic universes |
| 7 | Mindmaze | "Stand Your Ground - Advanced Version" | single | where viable habitats don't spin? |
| 8 | Eleine | "Ava of Death" | single | We are the native fauna of this particular oscillation rate, |
| 9 | Ultimatium | "The Seer" | single | and of incremental mortality |
| 10 | Vicky Psarakis | "Vampira" | single | relentlessly recurring. |
| 11 | WAGAMAMA RAKIA | "Why?" | Why? +1 | Terrible days end, |
| 12 | BRATS | "Lost Place - Version 2020" | Karma | and we get another chance tomorrow: |
| 13 | ReoNa | "unknown" | single | to be less trapped, less resigned, less hopeless; |
| 14 | SHINGEKI | "Shinsoukyoku:AbsoluteØ" | single | to allow more-appositional convictions to productively coexist; |
| 15 | tricot | "WARP" | single | to live up towards, if not to, the standards we invest in our fables; |
| 16 | 一二三 | "蜜を嗜む" | single | to accept that the things we think we maybe know |
| 17 | 工藤晴香 | "KEEP THE FAITH" | single | get their value from our simultaneous uncertainty and dedication, |
| 18 | aint | "Moonlight" | single | not from brutalist conviction and lying with a feigned compassion |
| 19 | Yabai T-Shirts Yasan | "sweet memories" | You need the Tank-top | animated by too little actual bloodflow to even dislodge a fly. |
| 20 | Nerd Magnet | "爆発しそう" | single | I open a curtain and look out the window at sunlight and industrious bees, |
| 21 | BUMP OF CHICKEN | "アカシア" | single | and then turn back inside and order thicker running socks for winter; |
| 22 | Clarity | "True Believer" | single | I open the news and feel the razor edges |
| 23 | Avec Sans | "Altitude" | single | of a catalog of ignorance and evil, |
| 24 | Dagny | "Moment" | Strangers / Lovers | bound in blood, |
| 25 | Margaret Berger | "Se Deg" | single | set against my skin: |
| 26 | Star Cassette | "In Your Eyes" | single | unalloyed by grace, |
| 27 | Aleks Syntek | "La Extinción de las Especies" | single | undignified by any masterplan more complex than |
| 28 | Atientas | "Nadie" | single | preserving entitled complacency, |
| 29 | Maica_n | "Missing angel (rock ver.)" | single | pages blank, spine shut and thus essentially symbolic. |
| 30 | Connor Engstrom | "Over the Love" | The Quarantine Sessions | A book presumes curiosity at an open-hearted scale. |
| 31 | La Mafia Canalla | "Isla de Perros" | single | Saying that a frightened narcissist judges it by its cover |
| 32 | LUNA AURA | "PAPERCUT" | THREE CHEERS FOR THE AMERICAN BEAUTY 6 | is a plaintive attempt to process cynicism as if it were optimism |
| 33 | Brooklynn | "Veil Lifted" | single | under a different rotation. |
| 34 | Sa-Roc | "Gold Leaf" | The Sharecropper's Daughter | But optimism is, by its nature, omnidirectional, |
| 35 | Shamir | "Paranoia" | Shamir | a way of saying both "if we move, we will definitely get somewhere" |
| 36 | CVLTE | "paradise. (feat. demxntia)" | single | and "there exist destinations of wonder". |
| 37 | Poppy Tears | "Body Installed" | single | Cynicism pretends to expect specific misfortune |
| 38 | POPSTARBILLS | "BAD DECISIONS" | single | as a way to avoid confessing to a disbelief in any fortune, |
| 39 | d0llywood1 | "he's just like me" | violet 2 | and the resulting inability and unwillingless to recognize wonder at all. |
| 40 | recovery girl | "BAD BRAIN" | BAD BRAIN / IM UPSET 2 | Fact-checking is not a fighting move against liars. |
| 41 | Nosgov | "precious day" | single | The liar's dysfunction is seeking submission and self-referential self-worth, instead of connection or validation, |
| 42 | demxntia | "gave it my all" | single | so the nature of the lie is irrelevant, |
| 43 | Wstdyth | "Losing Track of the Days" | Losing Track of the Days / Nightruler 2 | and the fact that liars don't say more true things by accident |
| 44 | Jesu | "When I Was Small" | single | is a measurement of reality's scope. |
| 45 | Botanist | "Bacteria" | single | The tragedy of privilege is not the inevitable eventual accountability, |
| 46 | Anaal Nathrakh | "Create Art, Though the World May Perish" | Endarkenment | which is inevitable only for the rest of us, |
| 47 | Enslaved | "Flight of Thought and Memory" | Utgard | but the way in which even the smallest amounts of privilege |
| 48 | Mors Principium Est | "My Home, My Grave" | My Home, My Grave +2 | so absolutely and desperately demand all-consuming defense. |
| 49 | Helsott | "Agamemnon" | single | Give a single fish to the curious, and come back in a month, |
| 50 | DevilDriver | "Wishing" | Dealing with Demons I | and they'll have opened a cooking school that has somehow ended up mostly teaching about fruit-filled pastries, |
| 51 | Necrophobic | "Devil's Spawn Attack" | single | and started a fanfic site for stories about the ancient mountaintop kingdom |
| 52 | Dark Charybdis 暴噬者 | "The Infinite Regress" | Reincarnation | from which they've decided the fish came. |
| 53 | Second to Sun | "Eerie" | Leviathan | This is what you get for giving them one fish, |
| 54 | Sallow Moth | "Necrogenesis" | Arcane Treachery 2 | with documentation auto-generated from its skeleton. |
| 55 | The Monolith Deathcult | "The White Silence" | single | Give a single fish to the precarious class reliant on unearned hierarchy, though, |
| 56 | Tombs | "Bone Furnace" | single | and you'll return to a dissolute gasping empire, |
| 57 | Accept | "The Undertaker" | The Undertaker +1 | and a throne room that smells of rotting gills. |
| 58 | Statue of Goat | "Ghosts" | Ghosts +2 | How do I know? We are that empire, |
| 59 | Wildness | "Die Young" | single | commemorated in statues of traitors |
| 60 | Magic Dance | "Long and Lost Lonely Nights" | From Death To Life! 6 | and the flags of transcended ideologies. |
| 61 | Palace | "Way up Here" | single | The introductory texts for the next American administration |
| 62 | PreHistoric animals | "The Magical Mystery Machine" | The Magical Mystery Machine (Chapter one) | will not be books by Marx or Zinn or Carson, |
| 63 | Ninja Sex Party | "Thunder & Lightning" | single | but Bored of the Rings to reclaim levity and rudimentary literacy, |
| 64 | Puppet | "Fuji Rock" | single | and then The Scouring of the Shire |
| 65 | Viikate | "Hallava" | Rillumarei! | to reclaim everything else. |
| 66 | Somas Cure | "La Cura" | La Colmena | We do not fear white wizards, |
| 67 | Nachtblut | "Nur In Der Nacht" | Vanitas | but there is much unwork to undo, |
| 68 | Saltatio Mortis | "Mittelfinger Richtung Zukunft" | single | much to rebuild: |
| 69 | Acceptance | "Release & Let Go" | Wild, Free | a nation justified only, in retroactive awareness, by welcoming all who come here |
| 70 | Clemency | "Dare to Dream" | single | as structural atonement for foundational invasion; |
| 71 | Touché Amoré | "Reminders" | single | a plan, this time, for understanding the consequences of our actions, |
| 72 | Luukas Oja | "Väritetty todellisuus" | Väritetty todellisuus | and the extent to which our actions are chosen, |
| 73 | Desperate Journalist | "The Fear" | single | and can be chosen differently; |
| 74 | VON WELT | "Mit der Zeit" | single | the strength of collective character required for morality as a deliberate industry instead of amorality as an unmonitored and unregulated toxic effluent; |
| 75 | The Trews | "1921" | single | history as something more diagnostic than a list of winners; |
| 76 | Jordan Brooker | "Heaven Seventeen" | The Young Troubadour's Almanac | nights quiet enough for new waves of silver moonlight on every color of skin; |
| 77 | Two Story Road | "Stolen" | single | air filled with chorus-drops instead of virus droplets. |
| 78 | VK Lynne | "Brain Waves" | single | It is for us, the living, to rededicate ourselves to the abundant unfinished work. |
| 79 | Zanda Zakuza | "Khaya Lam" | single | It is for us to try again to be more expansively decent, |
| 80 | Tourist | "Siren" | single | more cognizantly human, |
| 81 | Anamanaguchi | "Pixel Candle" | single | more irrepressibly kaleidoscopic in our vision, |
| 82 | BRIQUEVILLE | "Akte VIII" | Quelle | grander in our ambition, |
| 83 | Petbrick | "Lonely Soul" | Pet Sounds Vol.1 4 | more ruthless against the next corruption, |
| 84 | Ehnahre | "Part I" | The Man Closing Up | less sanguine that it can't happen here. |
| 85 | Zirp | "Odd Bourrée" | single | It is for us to tell the stories of how this interregnal snarl of chaos and hatred will be woven back into our cultural memory as thread. |
| 86 | Lil Darkie | "BATSHIT" | single | You could claim that we invented racism and oligarchy, |
| 87 | Dan Bull | "Squadrons" | single | empire and revolution, |
| 88 | The Sound That Ends Creation | "If the Spaghetti Monster Doesn't Exist, Why Do Planets Look Like Meatballs" | Memes, Dreams, and Flying Machines | delusion and the impulse to attribute the astonishing mundane to the imperceivable immanent. |
| 89 | First to Eleven | "The Mother We Share" | single | But of course we did not. |
| 90 | The Animal In Me | "Disturbia" | single | Any of those predatory things can creep up and consume you, but we are still the city and people of wonder. |
| 91 | Miley Cyrus | "Heart Of Glass (Live from the iHeart Music Festival)" | Heart Of Glass / Midnight Sky 2 | We have love, and that is what we mean by both the divine and the present. |
