| 1 | Issa | "Angels Calling" | single | We make these cloudbusting machines to reveal the imaginary heroic, |
| 2 | Metalite | "A Virtual World" | A Virtual World +1 | or we imagine inverted worlds in which the clouds collect only below our wings. |
| 3 | LiSA | "dawn" | dawn +3 | Maybe this is the sentimental price of amateur sentience: |
| 4 | BAND-MAID | "Warning!" | Unseen World | delusions of immortality |
| 5 | Enemy Inside | "Crystallize" | single | born of barely-emergent self-awareness. |
| 6 | Alteria | "Punto di rottura" | single | But so too are delusions of immortality a provocational gift |
| 7 | FATE GEAR | "The Sky Pirates feat.NANA" | The Sky Prison | from our naive histories |
| 8 | Sirenia | "We Come To Ruins" | single | to our future selves: |
| 9 | Neopera | "An Eternal Night" | single | if we can manage the difficult feat |
| 10 | Black Light Discipline | "Not the Way" | single | of internalizing hypothetical immortality |
| 11 | Kirkkovene | "Minä Muistan Sinut Aina" | single | as an expansive quantification of present responsibility, |
| 12 | Jorn | "Faith Bloody Faith" | single | instead of a divine rationalization for arbitrary power, |
| 13 | Orden Ogan | "Inferno" | Inferno +2 | we become capable of participating in justice; |
| 14 | Tribulation | "Funeral Pyre" | single | if not, we accelerate inelegantly towards death. |
| 15 | Dragony | "Love You to Death" | Viribus Unitis | We have these agonizingly if not inexplicably unmade choices: |
| 16 | Bloodbound | "When Fate Is Calling" | single | recognize ourselves as the authors of our churches, |
| 17 | Simulacrum | "Arrhythmic Distortions" | single | or allow our lives to subsidize already-bloated plagiarists; |
| 18 | Aspar | "Fluch" | single | let an awareness of our own ungovernable strength |
| 19 | Mork | "Arv" | single | be a constant ambient vibration along the lengths of each of our bones, |
| 20 | Antre | "Through These Dead Eyes" | Dark Spectrum | or helplessly destroy everything we touch; |
| 21 | Owl | "Conquering the Kingdom of Rain (Enter Her Holy Halls)" | Owl | feel every loss as a personal blow, |
| 22 | Bhleg | "Alyr III" | Ödhin | or lose without feeling; |
| 23 | Emma Ruth Rundle | "Orphan Limbs" | The Helm of Sorrow 4 | cut away the grotestque evils we have grown as if they were extensions of ourselves, |
| 24 | Wardruna | "Skugge" | single | or never know which parts of us are important |
| 25 | A Tergo Lupi | "Leaden" | single | or real. |
| 26 | Stam1na | "Sirkkeli" | single | This week we inaugurated an institutionalist who might as well have been conscripted out of a patriarchal national portrait gallery, |
| 27 | Paledusk | "WIND BACK" | WIND BACK +1 | and he released a flood of relief by merely reiterating established platitudes |
| 28 | Scarlxrd | "Let the Wxrld Burn" | single | and offering to run the government like a government. |
| 29 | ВУЛЬФ | "ЖАЛОСТЬ II (prod. by WARYKID)" | single | This is what we have been reduced to: |
| 30 | JACKIE EXTREME | "THIN ICE" | single | deploying our armies in our own corridors |
| 31 | Mary Mortem | "I Gave You My Teeth Now I Have Nothing" | I Gave You My Teeth (Mother Nature Love Me Kindly Deluxe Edition) | to safeguard the apparently contentious idea of spaces in buildings that can be used to walk from room to room; |
| 32 | blackwinterwells | "STRENGTH BONUS" | single | a legislature that gives circular obstructionist authority to a minority |
| 33 | POPSTARBILLS | "SWAG" | #HYPERDRILL 5 | not yet held accountable for even disavowing the basis for their own presence; |
| 34 | hm.wav | "feather / mirror" | single | a new administration that has to spend its first day |
| 35 | Uknoxoxo | "Wish" | My Chaos 4 | undoing unspeakable idiocy aloud; |
| 36 | Forget Basement | "I Understood" | single | the audacity of acknowledging |
| 37 | Trevor Something | "What You're Doing To Me" | single | that we were once inspired by the audacity of hope |
| 38 | Pale Waves | "Easy" | single | instead of a terrible gambler whose idea of his own genius is having no intention to pay when he inevitably loses. |
| 39 | LAU | "The Cards" | single | And yet, for all these rueful triumphs that should never have become remarkable, |
| 40 | Primo | "Bad Things" | single | I feel uplifted: |
| 41 | Neon Arcadia | "Gray" | single | not by competent bureaucrats, |
| 42 | Danny L Harle | "On A Mountain" | single | of which there was only ever a cynical performative shortage, |
| 43 | Emmit Fenn | "Edge Of The Dark" | single | but by a 22-year-old in a yellow coat and a red hairband given the task |
| 44 | MY FIRST STORY | "LEADER" | single | of reiterating our resolutely underlying and fiercely aspirational truths. |
| 45 | SHE'S | "追い風" | single | We write these cloudbusting verses to reaffirm how our inherent weaknesses |
| 46 | aLf | "We gotta power" | single | are how empathy begins. |
| 47 | Leo Ieiri | "Sora to ao" | single | We lift our gaze. |
| 48 | ヨルシカ | "春泥棒" | single | We have just remembered that we have it. |
| 49 | POLYSICS | "走れ!" | single | We lift our voices |
| 50 | NUL. | "Cube" | TRIBRID ARCHIVE | after four years of the din of lies beaten down onto us by helicopter blades. |
| 51 | The Veronicas | "Did Ya Think" | single | It's not just that Trump's inaugural speech was terrible |
| 52 | dodie | "Hate Myself" | Hate Myself +2 | in exactly the way it was always clear that his administration would also be, |
| 53 | Teenage Joans | "Something About Being Sixteen" | single | or that he had no poet, |
| 54 | Baby Queen | "Raw Thoughts" | single | which is a tradition maybe only now established, |
| 55 | Hospital Bracelet | "South Loop Summer" | South Loop Summer | but that in retrospect the lack of poetry is the sole content of his character. |
| 56 | San Mei | "In The Machine" | single | Nations err, and must find ways to earn forgiveness from the world and themselves. |
| 57 | Dan te Lion | "Winding road" | GO | Our errors have always been numerous. |
| 58 | Antonioni | "Mouth Breather" | single | It is wrong to derive blame for all of them from a colonial impulse |
| 59 | Aiko el grupo | "Amigos para nunca (confía y te la lían)" | single | to treat a continent as an excuse for exceptionalism, |
| 60 | Axolotes Mexicanos | "Que Te Pires" | single | but a lot less wrong than pretending our history started in 1776. |
| 61 | Rata Negra | "Desconfía de ese chico" | single | Trump and QAnon didn't make us suddenly stupid and awful. |
| 62 | The Spider Accomplice | "Keep" | single | We must atone, |
| 63 | Julien Baker | "Hardline" | single | not for four years of joylessly terrified racist panic, |
| 64 | Lydia Luce | "All the Time" | All the Time +1 | or for fear, or irrationality, |
| 65 | Danielle Durack | "Don't Know If I'll Stick Around" | No Place | which Trump could only ever claim by writing his name on them in sharpie, |
| 66 | Visionist | "The Fold" | single | but for a civic structure in which it is possible for 74,223,744 million people |
| 67 | Gary Numan | "Intruder - Edit" | Intruder 2 | to think it's acceptable to want credit for terrible things you didn't even do. |
| 68 | Slow White Fall | "Earthquake Seducer" | Pushing Through a Wall | We must atone |
| 69 | Blanck Mass | "Starstuff - Single Edit" | single | for the same tenuous humanity |
| 70 | Arms and Sleepers | "only god forgives" | single | that has led us all only this far, |
| 71 | Mogwai | "Ritchie Sacramento" | Ritchie Sacramento +1 | so far. |
| 72 | Balmorhea | "Rose In Abstract" | single | We need atone for nothing. |
| 73 | God Is An Astronaut | "Fade" | single | There is no atonement. |
| 74 | Cosmophobe | "Astral Disarray" | single | To misinterpret our attempts to make a just human civilization |
| 75 | 3.2 | "A Bond of Union" | single | as apologies for individual examples of injustice |
| 76 | Maximo Park | "All Of Me" | single | is to misunderstand both the nature and scale of the quest. |
| 77 | Peter Schilling | "Symmetrie" | Vis Viva | We have never been modern. We have never been anywhere near great enough. |
| 78 | Oeil | "Perfect" | single | We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation, and we were always that force. |
| 79 | Bloody Hammers | "A Night To Dismember" | Songs Of Unspeakable Terror | We are still that force. |
| 80 | Ronski Speed | "Greyskull" | single | We are the heartbeat of chaos. |
| 81 | KEiiNO | "MONUMENT" | single | But that's the thing. That's the whole thing. |
| 82 | Ashnikko | "Toxic" | DEMIDEVIL | Anybody can organize ants. |
| 83 | Nilotika | "Kekusimbe" | Ejokawulida 2 | No ant will put on a yellow coat and a red hairband and speak the brave and fragile souls of ants. |
| 84 | Modeste Hugues | "Hafatsy" | Green World | We make these cloudbusting machines to prove the unproven conjecture that you can move aside the clouds |
| 85 | Parry Gripp | "Future Potato" | single | without punching straight through the thin, brittle, beautiful distinction between us and the void. |
| 86 | POPSTARBILLS | "CAME TO FUCK IT UP PT. 2" | #HYPERDRILL 5 | The price of democracy is us. |
| 87 | Badfinger | "Love is Gonna Come at Last" | single | No long-awaited day turns out, when it happens, to really be the end, |
| 88 | Pete Yorn | "They Don't Know" | single | but that doesn't mean any of these poems and songs are wasted lines. |
| 89 | The XCERTS | "Inbetween Days" | So No One Told You Life Was Gonna Be This Way 4 | Here we are. Move those clouds around, there's sunlight behind there somewhere. |
| 90 | Ashnikko | "L8r Boi" | DEMIDEVIL | We'll have way more fun without him, |
| 91 | Hayley Williams | "Teardrop" | single | but the hate and the darkness don't go away now that he's gone. Hate and darkness are never past, always nouns. But love and light are verbs. |
