| 1 | Dead Sara | "Starry Eyed" | Ain't It Tragic | It was my urge, when I thought they were rare because I only knew a few and had no reliable way to find more, |
| 2 | Tulip | "Bird Set Free" | The Witch | to catalogue the sounds of breath drawn in and then blasted back out, |
| 3 | Edge Of Paradise | "Tidal Wave" | The Unknown | to compensate for their scarcity with ranks and lists. |
| 4 | Whyzdom | "Wanderers and Dreamers" | Of Wonders and Wars | If you have 100 records, making top-10s is a way of suggesting that 100 is profligate abundance, |
| 5 | We Are the Catalyst | "Drowning" | single | that you know enough, |
| 6 | Concrete Castles | "Hidden Faces" | Wish I Missed U | that nothing remains but solipsist negotiations in a sealed room |
| 7 | Synthwailer | "Concrete Roses" | single | with expensive speakers and even-more-expensive speaker-cables. |
| 8 | Feelament | "Dig" | single | Small worlds, only ever reluctantly expanded: |
| 9 | Illudium | "Aster" | single | what could distant suns offer that we don't already have in Pretzel Logic or Purple Rain? |
| 10 | Fate DeStroyed | "Death Signs" | single | There's nothing up there to see, nothing that's cool. |
| 11 | Paralandra | "Only Human" | single | Of course I'm still the same organism, with the same taxonomical urges, |
| 12 | Jim Peterik And World Stage | "Prom Night in Pontiac" | single | the same emotional resonances |
| 13 | Vega | "End of the Fade" | Anarchy and Unity | and most of the same names of love, |
| 14 | Serious Black | "The Story" | single | spinning on the same edge of the universe. |
| 15 | Thulcandra | "Funeral Pyre" | single | It's less that pieces of us die |
| 16 | Aephanemer | "Panta Rhei" | single | than that we finally realize they are stuck on with preconceptions, |
| 17 | Cynic | "Mythical Serpents" | single | or with legend and fear, |
| 18 | Amarok | "Surreal" | single | and with the right solvent can be removed. |
| 19 | Imperialist | "Terminal Odyssey" | single | The divestiture of armor is not a deathwish, |
| 20 | ATRÆ BILIS | "To Entomb the Aetherworld" | single | but the shortest and most difficult journey |
| 21 | Havukruunu | "Kuu Erkylän Yllä" | single | to an inconceivable destination an inch away. |
| 22 | Shadecrown | "Dark Heart Replica" | Solitarian | Civilization is a factory for distracting metaphors |
| 23 | Saturnian Mist | "Chaos is the Law" | Shamatanic | of difference and distance |
| 24 | Cradle Of Filth | "Necromantic Fantasies" | Necromantic Fantasies +1 | delivered to the air around our heads, |
| 25 | coldrain | "PARADISE (Kill The Silence)" | PARADISE (Kill The Silence) 6 | already filled with whizzing debris in forgotten orbits, |
| 26 | Unlucky Morpheus | ""M" Revolution" | "M" Revolution +1 | but the opposite of civilization is not clarity, |
| 27 | FaM | "Burning court" | single | it's all that junk falling straight into your eyes. |
| 28 | #2i2 | "せめて月のように" | single | The opposite of reductive essentializing isn't a glazed obliviousness |
| 29 | mihoro* | "Aishite Hoshiino" | single | but the willingness to fall in love with every 10 songs like those are the only 10 anyone would ever need, |
| 30 | CMTEN | "turn ur back on me (feat. grimtweakr)" | single | which is never true, |
| 31 | That Kid | "Cobra" | single | but also never less true. |
| 32 | ONI INC. | "Revive Me ! Revive Me !" | Not Dead Yet 3 | We fetishize modulation, |
| 33 | familypet | "feel the way i feel" | almost beautiful 5 | which gives us something to refine during confinement, |
| 34 | yung van | "too afraid to be in love" | single | but then you escape, and suck back in all the wasted breath, |
| 35 | Whethan | "Think You Right (feat. ericdoa & glaive)" | single | all the private irrational convictions, |
| 36 | Namasenda | "Finish Him (feat. Joey LaBeija)" | single | and discard the scabbard but not yet the sword. |
| 37 | Magdalena Bay | "You Lose!" | You Lose! +2 | Do you want to be adored? |
| 38 | Banoffee | "Never Get To Fuck Any1" | single | You don't earn that, you become it, |
| 39 | FLOHIO | "Whiplash" | single | not by isolating and itemizing your top 10 character traits, |
| 40 | Odete | "O Chão Treme" | The Consequences Of a Blood Language | but by fountaining infinite character. |
| 41 | Jessica Winter | "I Think You're Going To Hurt Me (So Bad)" | I Think You're Going To Hurt Me (So Bad) +1 | You are not defined by your internalities, |
| 42 | Foxes | "Sister Ray" | single | but by what you allow to absorb you until it dances with your body |
| 43 | Moyka | "Illusion" | single | when it thinks it's dancing alone. |
| 44 | Polly Scattergood | "Shadows" | In The Absence Of Light EP 4 | You have one shadow for every star: |
| 45 | New Arcades | "Where We Go" | In the Deepest of Dreams | endless occluded alternative selves |
| 46 | 7038634357 | "Ground (Up)" | My Way Out | that you can't pull apart or number, |
| 47 | BRVMES | "SACRIPHAGE" | single | massacred by your most tentative steps |
| 48 | Fire-Toolz | "guardian angel bear" | single | but omniforgiving, and suffused by belief. |
| 49 | KAGAMI Smile | "Drifting Snow" | Transitory Heart | It matters that you move, and how, |
| 50 | Fast Animals and Slow Kids | "Stupida canzone" | È già domani | but not where, not whether your flight takes you towards Pluto or Perugia, |
| 51 | Comandante Twin | "La Isla del Deseo" | single | away from your enemies or after receeding faster runners, |
| 52 | Quinto Elemento | "Saltar" | single | into or out of the voracious sea. |
| 53 | Hämatom | "Dagegen" | single | Your worlds can each be small |
| 54 | Seelensturm | "Keine Fragen" | single | if they meticulously interconnect, |
| 55 | You, Me, And Everyone We Know | "I Don't Care Anymore, I'm Enough Now" | Something Heavy | or vast in their amorphity. |
| 56 | Placebo | "Beautiful James" | single | You can walk new streets with old maps, |
| 57 | Bexley | "If We Have to Die" | Far From Home 5 | you just have to remember that the map is a story about idealized permanence |
| 58 | Loveless | "sorry i'm a downer" | single | told in the fleeting argot of the damned. |
| 59 | Cassadee Pope | "Tomorrow Night" | single | Stories can be distributed in time, |
| 60 | Soraya | "Soy Esa Mujer" | single | and collected in space, |
| 61 | Aitana | "Berlín" | single | or the other way around. |
| 62 | Demarco Flamenco | "No Necesito Más" | single | Either way, you don't have to number them to let them say something aloud |
| 63 | Sun-El Musician | "Higher - Radio Edit" | Higher 2 | that you only in that moment discover you believe. |
| 64 | Amasap | "Ewestville" | single | There is a moment of twilight when every road leading to every horizon is the same, |
| 65 | SGABISO | "NGIZOLALA NGIJABULE" | UBUXOKOXOKO BAMAXOXO | and a moment just before dawn when you stand there waiting to see what can overcome curvature |
| 66 | Donovan Woods | "Here in Chicago" | Here in Chicago +1 | and jurisdictions |
| 67 | Aoife O'Donovan | "Phoenix" | single | to come stand before you and breathlessly declare |
| 68 | Erland Cooper | "But Still Will Keep a Bower Quiet for Us" | single | that they have just discovered you and everything you know, |
| 69 | MONO | "Imperfect Things" | Pilgrimage of the Soul | and you will be released |
| 70 | Ghostheart Nebula | "Ascension, Pt. III Nebula" | Ascension | from your nameless limbo. |
| 71 | Lauren Babic | "Ocean Floor / This Is The Time (Ballast)" | single | And you may feel like you should pinch the skin on their arms, to judge and record its thickness, |
| 72 | Rock Emo Nightcore | "good 4 u" | single | and write down all the numbers which which they identifiy themself. |
| 73 | Brass Against | "Uninvited" | single | But the right better thing to say is "Hello. We were not expecting you. |
| 74 | MIYAVI | "Smells Like Teen Spirit" | Imaginary | But here you are now." |
